"There's a lot of Nuts and Bullets"

Okay, the egg timer binged so it's time to start the new thread. We're predicted to have snow when we wake Sunday in Seattle, so it will be a great time to pop some popcorn and hunker down to watch the Amazing Race.

Confess that I will look forward to watching Elimination Station. Memories of warm weather, wearing of shorts, while I am forced to bundle up.

Oh, gracious! I guess they can't move "60 Minutes," can they?

The upside of a late start is that it takes us all the way to "Next Iron Chef!" And tonight is the finale!!

We aren't getting the Colts/Patriots game here in N.O., so hopefully it will start on time. The news is on here as regularly scheduled.

11:27 AM: Jill/Thomas depart. They talking about the Double U-Turn and needing to get there first.

12:57 PM: Nick/Vicki leaving.

All teams talking about being worried about the Double U-Turn. Looks like everyone might be on the same flight.

1:36 PM: Brook/Claire leaving.

3:37 PM: Nat/Kat leaving.

Chad/Stephanie and Jill/Thomas checking to see if there's an earlier flight.

Brook/Claire get on same flight.

Nat/Kat in the ticketing office and have tickets to Dubai and they are going to work on the second flight there.

Jill/Thomas seem to have found an earlier flight. THey should arrive at 5AM while the others arrive at 12PM. They get it and the other teams are wondering what they got.

Brook/Claire ask the ticket office what flight that was and they find out it is full now.

Brook/Claire freaking out about Jill/Thomas getting there so much earlier. They are sharing that info with Nick/Vicki now. Nick doesn't think Chad/Stephanie got that same flight but CHad/Stephanie are off eating so no one knows where they are.

Brook/Claire and Nick/Vicki have found an earlier flight that will arrive at 8:40 AM. But Nick/Vicki get the only open seats on this flight so Brook/Claire get stuck on their original flight.

DUBAI: Nat/Kat trying to get a flight to Bangladesh. Looks like they got a flight that gets in at 12PM.

Chad/Stephanie says it is discouraging knowing that Jill/Thomas are that far ahead of them.

Jill/Thomas arriving in Bangladesh at 6AM. They are in a cab now and on their way to the Square where they have to make their sugar cane drink. Thomas is getting started. They get a full glass and Thomas downs it. They get their clue.

DETOUR: Balanced Meal: Pick up mid-day snack, travel across harbor and hoist 30 containers of the meal to the deck. Return to shore with 10 empty canisters and they'll get clue.

Balanced Bricks: Transport bricks from barge to vendor. They have to balance the brick basket on their head. When they deliver 100 unbroken bricks, they'll get the next clue.

They pick Balanced Bricks. Jill drops her first load but then they get going and deliver their first load.

Nat/Kat arrive at their connection and see Brook/Claire and Chad/Stephanie.

Jill/Thomas done and now must make way on foot to next location, Double U-Turns.

Brook/Claire and Chad/Stephanie happy to see Nat/Kat.

Jill/Thomas talk about u-turning Brook/Claire because they are always out front. They say they can't pass up the chance to knock back a contender. They do indeed U-Turn Brook/Claire.

Now must way to Bazaar.

Brook/Claire fill Nat/Kat about the lead Jill/Thomas have on them.

Back with the folks on the last flight feeling better about the number of people with them.

Nick/Vicki arrive in Bangladesh and Vicki hopes they'll have to ride in a rickshaw.

Jill is putting on the canopy for her rickshaw.

Jill puts the bell on her rickshaw and has 4 items left.

Nick downs his sugar cane and they decide to do Balanced Meals.

Thomas, "Geez, these people are great." As he talks to the bystanders watching Jill assemble her rickshaw. Jill thinks she's done but she has one thing left. She forgot to fix the chain.

Nick/ Vicki arriving at their ship. They are delivering their canisters. Vicki doesn't like how the meal they are delivering smells.

Back with the three other teams and they are all working their sugar cane presses. Chad/Stephanie finish first. Chad drinking. Nat and Brook drinking as well. All three teams neck and neck now. All three decide to do Balanced Meal.

Lalbagh Fort. Jill/Thomas arriving at the mat. They are Team #1. They have won $15,000 Discover gift card.

Nick/Vicki talk about how well their task worked out. They head out again to deliver their 10 empty canisters.

Nick/Vicki deliver their canisters and head off. Nick wants to U-Turn Chad/Stephanie but Vicki doesn't think they need to do that since everyone is behind them. They leave without U-Turning anyone.

Nat/Kat get off their rickshaw but get directions from someone. They are putting their canisters on the boat.

Chad/Stephanie and Brook/Claire still searching for where they need to go. Brook/Claire arrive first while Chad/Stephanie have no idea where they are.

Both teams running for pit stop...

Brook/Claire arrive first and they are Team #4. Phil notes that it was really close. They hug. Brook says they are like hanging on by a thread. Phil gives Brook hell for pretending that they are "two little girls." Says, "Don't even try to pretend you are not a threat."

Chad/Stephanie are the last team to arrive and they have been eliminated from the race. Chad says he got the greatest prize of all, he came out of this engaged to a wonderful, wonderful woman. Stephanie says she's going to cry.

Thanks Raen! Whew, that sounds like a stressful race. I sure don't mind waving goodbye to Chad.

Now I'm itching to see, one more hour to showtime here.
He, he, he! Can't wait to see what the volley ball girlies are going to sound like when they get the 'phone call' @ Elim Station tonight and they find out the womens' teams are still racing.

I was happy to see Nat & Kat still in the race. It's amazing how positive they remain and how well they handled Chad's reaction to the u-turn. The just seem to be very nice people.

I was also expecting a non-elimination so I was pretty surprised when Chad & Stephanie were eliminated.

I'm happy with the final 4. Never thought I'd say that with Nick/Vicky still in it! But she seems very sweet, although more than a bit clueless. I'm quite pleased with Chad/Steph being gone. Didn't want them to win.

Here's the scoop. For our Canadian Friends, I will be writing a summary in the next hour or so (still have to watch it myself). But I think others may be chomping at the bit like me, so posting this quick.

Between Nat/Kat and Brook/Claire ~ we just may have our first all female win yet!

Great spoiling Raen! THANK YOU!

1 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Jill and Thomas won the EP when they came in first in Leg 1 and they used the EP in Leg 4 to proceed to pitstop without completing the last task.

NEL Non Elimination Leg.

Leg 3 Michael and Kevin came in last/ninth but will continue to Leg 4 where they will have to perform a Speed Bump

Leg 6 Nick and Vicki came in last/seventh but will continue to Leg 7 where they will have to perform a Speed Bump (which we never saw on the show and which reportedly was not ever done because of some glitch with the piano detour when the team was told "nyet" when they were indeed correct.)

P Leg 7 -

Michael and Kevin came in sixth but incurred TWO 30 min penalties. This moved them to seventh and they were out of the race.

Chad and Stephanie came in seventh, incurred ONE 30 minute penalty which allowed them to move to sixth place and stay in the race.

P Leg 8 - Jill & Thomas arrived first at the pit stop but incurred a 30 minute penalty for hiring and following a cab. They dropped from first to second place.

For our Canadian Friends, about the Elim Sta clip I just posted. Admittedly, CBS let it appear a whole hour earlier than usual so I'm hopeful they may post another clip showing 'the phone call' & gnashing teeth volley ball chicks. This was sweet, but not the usual.

The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via Bangladesh
CBS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Wjc7p6maU


Shows Connor & Jonathan wearing shorts, stretched out on their beds (wow, must be a big room, each have a puffy double bed). Talking about graduation from college, graduating from the race. Because of leaving straight after exams they went on the race. Whirlwind, haven't really had closure from their college experience. Strange new turning point for them. They're not adults, not college students, in limbo, 'we're freaks' right now.

Shows them all in a van, traveling to a restaurant. Eating in a cave called ?Se Nutez? that used to be submersed with water, sign says Alux. Walking underground to the restaurant, colored lights all around showing walls, eventually there's fancy furniture with leopard spotted coverings. Stalactites all over dripping water, although the stalactites hanging over the huge table aren't dripping. Stone paved walkway. Really nice restaurant.

At the table, Andie says "So everybody, this is our last dinner together." Jenna birthdaughter says they are going around in a circle so each person can say one thing they have learned from the race.

Connor says that one thing he learned was that he can spend countless hours, days, with Jonathan traveling the world and not get sick of him. Which is like a true testament about how special their relationship is.

Andie says that she's learned on the race that 'dreams can come true'. It's been a dream of hers for 21yrs to get to know her beautiful first born. And she's so proud of Jenna.

Kevin says he's never really traveled before with his Dad. His Dad was scared before the race, but as a team they worked really well together.

Michael, "I'm really glad I had this opportunity. And, on top of that, I know all you people are nice people. Otherwise, I never would have had a chance to know you guys, right?"

Tony says even though it seems like a defeat at first, it actually turned out to be a great gift. Spending all this time with all of you has been a great gift, (he tips his drink at them).

Jenna says I love you all and I think it's been great and it's definitely worth more than a million dollars to me. Best time of my life. Voice over from Jenna, it was really cool to see everyone actually just be really genuine for a moment, to hear everyone about this huge thing that we've all been through together.

Ron offers a toast, all clink glasses, "Here's to all of us stepping outside of our box. And going on an adventure of a lifetime no matter what the outcome, it's still been amazing."

The end. Those were all they showed speaking.

Hmmm, this was interesting find while I'm watching the clips, how B/C felt awkward being in the middle at the rickshaw challenge while Chad was yelling at Nat&Kat. He did apologize later (his usual MO).
