It's Halloween and, better yet, TAR night!
Hopefully all the little hobgoblins will be home already sorting out their candy so everyone can watch the best show on TV!

Nat/Kat is first team to leave at 8:26.
Clue take a car then train then plane to St Petersburg Russia. They talk about first all female team to win AR
By 10:26 all teams are waiting for train
While on train Mallory glad to take the time to be with Father on the train looking at the sites. At the same time Nat/Kat and the QVC girls are in train room talking about who' s feet stink the most.
When train teams race to get cabs, but Chad/Steph are having trouble getting one. He starts to argue with her about how she wasn't ready and how that allowed others to get cab before them. After they do get a cab they still argue about it inside cab.
Nat/Kat first to airport, followed by Brook/Caire. At airport Chad clams down and says it his fault. She says he needs to keep clam otherwise it will be a long race
At end of train all teams race to airport and then all get tickets for the plane.

In the music side most teams can't match the songs as it is really noisy with all the sound.
Chad/Steph first try fails, along with other teams
Gary/Mallory decide to change and do film.
QVC girls finally get to film place.
Jill/Thomas find clip first and get next clue.

Nick said he promised Nat that he wouldn't blow up again like he did earlier in the race. They get the songs and the clues.
Michael/Kevin arrive at the location of the pitstop but can't find it.
Jill/Thomas arrive at location and find the pitstop. They are team number 1 and win trip for two to Brazil. Thomas say Jill killed this leg. It is nice to know I can rely on her.
Brook/claire are team number 2
Michael/Kevin finally find pitstop and are team number 3.
Mallory can't find ducks end. She finds a new friend (some men) who lift her over a fence but it's not ducks end they just want to have a drink with her.
At ducks end Steph throws the shovel high onto the cow manure so Mallory needs to step in it to get the shovel.
Steph finishes road block in 5th place, Mallory finishes next. While in cab Mallory says hooly cow this is cow poop and I would clean my fingernails but it really stinks.
At the pitstop Nat/Kat is team number 4.
Nat dress up in dress asking locals where duck's end is, but they just want to have there picture taken with him in the dress.
Chad/Steph arrive at pitstop at team number 5, floowed by Chad/Mallory as team number 6.
Nick planting potatoes and taking it in stride. In the darkness they arrive at the pitstop and Phil he is sorry and they are the last team to arrive. He is also sorry that they will need to continue as this is a non-elmiination leg.

Next time
Teams clown around and Michael strikes out.
Michael laughs and kevin says I don't think this is funny. I think we are out.
Nick and

Since Raen is so much better than I am at this, I try to wait for Raen to start before I jump in, so I take notes. But I got so far behind before I saw raen wasn't here that it was better to wait until it was over before I started.
See you next time

Thanks so much Videomic, you do a FANTASTIC job too!

Wow, can't believe it. After reminding everyone that Halloween was coming, THEN I forgot about it. By the time I checked in here (& seeing my reminder) it was late. First time in 12yrs since I've lived here I missed watching the park across the street. They have all the little kids walking around the park forest collecting treats. Neighborhood event 4pm-6pm. Well Duh!

The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via Russia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm9fk6I7ObY

For our Canadian friends: Well, as expected, Katie & Rachel have tossed a wet blanket on ES. No Wah Wah Wah's for sure.

First, they all go to play pool volleyball in the house pool & teammates can't be on the same side. All seem like they're having a nice time. Some comments themselves about K/R are so much more athletic than anyone.

Then they go to the beach. Sitting under beach umbrella K/R say they were salivating to U-turn somebody, wasn't everyone else? Ron/Tony confessional that it was kind of negative, really kinda bothering them.

Talking about who they want to come next, R/K say they want Brooke/Claire or the Doctors. Pressed about don't they want an all female team to win, R/K say no 'we want us to win'. Andie says 'that's not going to happen'. R/K say 'if we can't win, we don't want any girl team to win. They all suck'.

Jenna (daughter) is looking disturbed, when K/R said that. Jenna responded "and I think THAT sucks!" Tony/Ron said 'I can't imagine what you have to say about us!' K/R say 'you don't even want to hear that.'
- - -
Bisc: It was not as fun as most ES. How old are these two spoiled bratty girls? I think they both have a lot to learn, life doesn't always hand out what you want.

I couldn't figure out why they didn't do it one song at a time from the beginning...to me that would have been the only way to sort out that chaos.
