Next week on The Amazing Race: Under the African sun, Nick losses his cool. And Michael heats up.


PS: I will not be around next Sunday so if someone else is able to spoil, that'd be great!

I didn't call it- I already knew they were one of the first few teams gone, but didn't know exactly when they were going to go- but it makes sense that they would have a lot of "getting to know each other" things the ep they were eliminated in. I will be interested to see the Elimination Station videos with these two..

Thank you so much Raenstorm! I almost picked Andie/Jenna for my team this week! I would have been so stressed watching the show, now I can relax and enjoy it!

Thank you, Raen, for the spoiling ~ Great job as always!

Off to catch it all on the west coast.

I actually think Andi and Jenna will have a better chance to get to know one another and bond at ES - far less stress and pressure. Some things are worth far more than money -

Hope to have a chance to see ES video(s) tomorrow -

Tntitan, I agree with you, I think being eliminated and being able to spend time together will be the best gift anyone could ever have given them.

I think this is the first time ever I was brought to tears by this show. What a great gift and experience these two will have getting to know each other.

I kept waiting for Nick or Vicki to say "Africa? Which country is that!?!?!"

Overall this episode wasn't as entertaining as the season premi....preme...opener.

(per earlier convo re why videos get blocked, it primarily has to do with complying w/ broadcasting rules in other countries. CBS and other nets are only able to broadcast in the country(ies) they have permits to do so. In Canada's case, CRTC rules are very particular. And video on websites is broadcasting)

Thanks for the explanation Yankee! It never made sense, so that is helpful.

Wow, thanks for posting the link so fast. Did I hear that right, Andie has ten kids!

I hope they get everything they can out of this time together as I don't see them having much of a relationship in the future.

Good luck to them and their families.

Well, Nick and Vicki weren't shown to be slow this episode.

No one really stood out.

Hopefully next episode, someone will.

I love Gary/Mallory - she is so cute and seems to really be enjoying herself. Phil was killin' her at the mat.....pausing the way he does before telling them their status......

Nobody that I dislike - YET! Those cab drivers were really amazing! I am pretty sure I would prefer to be amazed from my couch than their cab through -

Back to explain - amazing racing through the streets and creating a third lane, not the going in the wrong direction part!

Tnt, that (the cabs making a third lane) was way too dangerous, I could barely look at my TV. Carziiii! I thought this episodes tasks were a little bit of too easy.....putting up an antenna or carrying a coffin (although the coffins were interesting) it wasn't too difficult especially since they had people to help them carry it up those stairs.

I have seen that "make a third lane" move more times than I can count while traveling.

I missed the first 20 minutes or so. I really appreciate your spoiling, Raenstorm, makes me feel like I didn't miss a thing.

Connor and Jonathan were cracking me up with their conversation in the cab.

Conner with his "I want my Mommy." and then:
"I'm just so proud that I haven't soiled myself." and Jonathan's response, "I think I might've."

And I can't stand Mallory...her overdramatics are getting on my nerves. Although I'm not at the point of totally detesting her yet! I was hoping it was her and her Dad at the end.

That elimination Station hit me hard. I hope many people watch it. (Hoping at least one person with an unwanted pregnancy watches it and is inspired to make a similar choice.)

(Karen - I figured you did. It's just that I have read here, and elsewhere, that Canadians think that American networks somehow don't respect them by not showing their stuff there, but it's really the Canadian laws that prohibit it, most often.)

So far I've not really found any one team that stands out as one to root for or against. I like the HSN women (and was glad they came in first, esp after doing the antenna challenge). Otherwise, no one really has stood out as a fave, and so far, no one has really seemed to be truly obnoxious or annoying to root against either.

ETA: Could it be possible that there is finally an episode of a reality TV show where ALL the contestants are likable? Is that even really possible????

I am not liking Mallory much - drama queen! Also not a fan of the Asian young man - very disrespectful of his father initially although he is doing better now.
