TAR night! Set your VCRs.

Amazing Race
"I Never Looked So Foolish in My Whole Entire Life (Outback)"

Will the Cowboys figure out their flags/compass code and catch up?
Bisc is worrying from the edge of her seat.

Hey, You Hoo Lycanthrope! Exciting to see that somebody besides me is still awake.

I so hope that they give us an Animal Challenge this race. One of my all time favs was Zev the Duck Whisperer. All those women were shrieking and getting hysterical, while Zev was just moving his new little duck buddies up & over the bridge, then back.

Important Note: The Amazing Race airs one hour earlier on the Canadian network (CTV) tonight at 7:00 EST (due to the Academy Awards coverage). Please don't spoil the race for East Coast American viewers who will be seeing it at its normal time (scheduled for 8:00 EST). Thank you.

Is anyone spoiling? I think it has started, oops looks like it should be over on the east coast. Hope to see some spoilers, TIA.

Or at least someone let us know who was eliminated. Thanks

Been on & off here for an hour. There must be something better on the tube, I don't watch much besides TAR & Survivor so I'll see you all next week. Have a good night.

Kris and Amanda were last, they were eliminated. Ron was EXTREMELY annoying this episode. Not one of the best episodes, there was a LOT of bunching, we aren't really getting to see any of the teams sink or swim on their own.

Rats. The first time I play the Amazing Race game and the team I pick to win it all is out first.

Ron definitely needs to learn how to turn his mouth off...and he did call Phil, "Bill".

We heard our first "Oh My Gravy" of the season.

All of the teams did the long detour instead of the one that would've taken half the time. It almost let Kris and Amanda catch up.

The Cowboys hit the curb with one of their vehicles, and we heard "Curb Check". I don't know if that's a regional thing, but everyone I know here in north Texas says that when they hit a curb. Made me laugh a little.

Mel is in bad shape. It's courageous he's running the race at his age, but I don't how smart it is.

Kent running around yelling "Get me some children, I need some children." over and over again...very funny.

The shows starts with the cowboys still working on the flags clue,
Gary & Mallory lead off with next clue.
Go to charter and sail at the anchor which is at town hall and sign up for one of two flights to the outback that leave at 6:30 am and 7 am.
Amanda & Kris talk about having to do both detours, but hope that they can do it.
Other take off, the teams in the leave can't seem to find it. They are passed by LaKisha & Jennifer and Margie & Luke Zev & Justin. Mel & Mike are with them and Mel has the cramp in his leg and doesn't know if he can continue.
So the teams towards the back were on the first flight.
Cowboys get the clue and head to the first pit stop. Phil tells them they are still in the race and off they go.
All teams sign up for the flights except for cowboys as night falls, Cowboys then finally find the sign up and head to airport. Overnight Mel gets rest and his leg seem better.
When they land in the outback the teams must drive themselves to the detour. Spirt or natural. In one they must build a mosaic and when approved they need to dance on top of it.
The other using a water paint they must put it in there mouth and paint 4 images.
All teams do the mosaic and start.
Kent & Vyxsin seem to finish first, but when they go to do the dance (Kent gathers children) they dance around it not on top.
Zev & Justin were first to finish and Margie & Luke were second.
They get the next clue where they need to drive to the football club.
There they must dress up in kangaroo costumes and using the chemical table figure out that they need to go to the cross streets of mercury and bismuth.
Zev & Justin and Margie & Luke asked someone with cell phone to look up symbols and then get directions to the cross streets
Margie and Luke take a lead, but she drops part of her costume, letting Zev & Justin pass them.
They get to clue that sends them to pitstop.
The other teams all get there mosaic finished, Amanda & Kris then do other detour, leaving ron and christina last to leave.
As the other teams go to the cross road, Ron and Christiana and Gary & Mallory team up, but neither team seem to know where they are going.
Amanda & Kris do the second detour and catch up with G/M/C/R
Gary & Mallory and Ron & Christina take off for the pit stop first but don't know where they are going. Amanda & Kris follow closely behind.
At the pit stop
Zev & Justin 1st and win trip
Herb & Nate 2nd
Jet & Cord 3rd
LaKisha & Jennifer 4h
Margie & Luke 5th
Mel & Mike 6th
Kent & Vyxsin 7th
Jaime & Cara 8th
Gary & Mallory 9th
Ron & Christina 10th and tell Phil they still have issues to work on
Amanda & Kris were the last to arrive and have been eliminated from the race. They say that they this time can only blame themselves for the detour.

I didn't see that no one was spoiling until late in the show so I am doing it from some notes and memory.
So if any of the east coaster or those out west want to fill in some of the details i missed or wasn't correct on feel free.

Thanks Videomic from here on the left coast too! Can't wait to watch now, but I'm relieved the cowboys got back in the game!

YAY Zev & Justin! And a trip too. IIRC the last time they won, they won motorbikes. Zev said his Mom would kill him, wouldn't allow him to drive one. THEN, the next time they came in first - it was only to discover the missing passport.

Dear CBS:
When I posted "I so hope that they give us an Animal Challenge this race. One of my all time favs was Zev the Duck Whisperer. All those women were shrieking and getting hysterical, while Zev was just moving his new little duck buddies up & over the bridge, then back.

This kangaroo gig was NOT the sort of thing I had in mind. But, I will admit that challenge was difficult (thank heavens Mel survived it!) plus FUNNY as heck! I'm still holding out for my Wish List of a real animal challenge, which I'm sure you will provide this season just to make me . TIA! Bisc

The best friends celebrate their victory with Phil and the mayor of Broken Hill.
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/video/?pid=ckScJNzxZsD0rLicz1Iym7qNq0_V0_RP&vs=Clips&play=true
Turns out the man wearing the miners hat on the welcome mat was the Mayor.

I'm watching the clips at CBS.com, for those that can watch this is a longer chat with Z/J at the finish mat, well worth watching. For our Canadian Friends: Z/J just look so funny relaxed & chatting, with their kangaroo hats cockeyed & bobbing around.

Discussing how there's a strong alliance betw Luke/Margie and Jaime & Cara. That Cowboys are back in the game. Phil says he understands many of the teams would like Cowboys out of the race because they're such strong competitors.

Z/J were so cool & polite about it, Zev interjected "but they're really nice guys!" Justin says that Cowboys are strong in some suits and not so strong in other - they, Z/J, were just going to keep running their own race. No badmouthing. Maybe one reason I'm so crazy about Z/J.

I noticed that Margie glommed onto Zev and Justin at the last task.. no waiting for Jaime/Cara who were pretty close behind them.. there were some lucky people who teamed up with others who knew chemistry.. several teams benefitted from Kent's knowledge for instance..

I'd have been like Luke and fallen immediately.. he tends to fall and I suspect I'd be right there with him.

Well we made it through one episode without the mommmm from Luke, but it was back in full force tonight.. Luke whiney, Ron and Kristina major bickering, Mallory major manic and irritating (all IMO, of course)

Jen also pulled a major whine in the car when Kisha asked her to gather stuff.. I mean Kisha was driving and they WERE heading to the pit stop and Jen just looked petulant. Yes, I know it was hot.. they seem to be playing smarter so far.. same with FT and BE.

Kris and Amanda will always blame the U Turn, but in reality they seemed to leave their second part of the detour before a couple of other teams.

Jet and Cord lead a charmed life.. without airport bunching they'd have been doomed and Kris and Amanda would still be with us. Works for me, but they ARE lucky.

Zev and Justin are rocking it .. woo hoo.. and I was also happy they won a trip.

You can see that age is catching up to Mel, physically and Ron, mentally..

1 AUTOMATIC U-Turn: A penalty assessed at the beginning of Leg 1 to the last team to find the proper airline tag needed to obtain their flight (first or second) from LAX. The last 3 teams got a second flight due to land 90 minutes behind the first, but the last of those teams has to perform an automatic U-Turn which will force them to perform both options of the first detour. Kris and Amanda were penalized thus in Leg 1. They completed both parts of the detour in Leg 2. While they actually left the detour ahead of others they ended up in last and were eliminated, blaming the u-turn.

2 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Gary and Mallory won the EP in Sydney at the TBC "end" of Leg 1.

3 At time of TBC on first leg/show, Jet and Cord have not actually completed all tasks required to get to Phil and be declared 11th. They did complete and made the second flight, so benefitted from airport bunching.

TBC To Be Continued. Leg 1 of this race ended with racers being given a clue and sent on, but first place team Gary and Mallory left with the coveted Express Pass and Kris and Amanda were still to perform their automatic U-Turn.

Not just YOUR opinion, that aptly describes my own reactions!

I also think, if Ron can't trust and work with his teammate Cristina, no matter that they both speak Chinese, they ain't gonna last until they reach China (IF that's even on the agenda for this race).

I KEEP trying to find Elimination Station, via CBS as well as YT (before anyone wonders). But CBS just isn't giving it to us so far tonite. Dagnabit!!

LOL...I agree. The MOMMMMM and then Ron is just a total jerk...my DD was watching and she said he would get on her nerves really fast...and then she said he already had gotten on her nerves...and that was her first episode to watch in years.

I'm okay with the Cowboys leading a charmed life. The Amazing Race is as much about luck as it is about skill...which is what makes it interesting. I like that they never give up...they just keep running (and loved that they had a footrace to the car).

Curb check...yep...we do it all the time here in north Texas...LOL! Must happen in Oklahoma too.

Really not going to miss Kris and Amanda, but will give him props for looking good without a shirt.

It's only been a couple months and I had already forgotten how annoying Mallory could get. I like her, but she's just a bit over-the-top in her excitement.

I'm only glad Amanada & Kris are off because I still don't remember them from their season. The rest of this season will be so interesting to watch because I'm not sure who I want gone and when...except Luke/Margie. They can go next.
