REMINDER: TAR night BUT daylight savings time
(clocks back & change smoke detector batteries)
so set your video recorders accordingly.

Oh, I do love it when they get obstinate animals in the mix. Remember that truly nasty guy once screaming "My ox is broke!" Hope we get lucky tonight.

Not here, Doc. Another Sunday's TV schedule ruined, thanks to Sunday Night Football running overtime AGAIN. Why can't these idiots tell the time and why is it on CBS anyway? Isn't that what ESPN and all the other 'sports' channels are for? It's just nonsense how they mess up millions of DVD's, TIVO's, and non-football fans every week. I hate football now even more than I did yesterday...the last bastion of male chauvinism indeed! I'm PO'd, scunnered, and itching for a fight, preferably with a CBS exec. Yes, tonight I'm armed and dangerous. Be warned. There will be no prisoners taken.

I can't believe that L/Z U-Turned Amani and Marcus when they saw them and knew A/M were ahead of them. That was not nice, no one else used it. Shame on them...I haven't like that team from the beginning. My hats off to A/M for doing that task. No one else could have done it.

I gotta say that if Sandy views Jeremy as "yelling" at her, then she's never really been in a real debate.

Bill and Cathi and Marcus and Amani are the two teams I'm rooting for.

Did Lawrence and Zac think that they could U turn a team that was ahead of them and that team would have to turn back? Or were they confused and did not realize that Amani & Marcus were ahead of them? Glad Amani & Marcus did not get eliminated. Unloading that boat was hard work! I loved it when Andy and Tommy somersaulted off their canoes at the end of the task.

I heard Lawrence say that Marcus and Amani were going the wrong way, so I think he believed they had not yet made it to the U-turn. It was completely beyond his comprehension that the other team could be ahead of them.

And yup - bunny hops next week. :-)

1 Hazard - As last to find first clue at beginning of leg 1, Kaylani and Lisa must complete a Hazard Task before the end of the leg. To add to the excitement Kaylani drops her passport in a gas station near the starting point but it is gone when they go back. Luck of the showgirls.. someone who realized Amazing Race was going through tweeted someone and took the passport to LAX where they paged Kaylani, so the team made the second flight out. The Hazard task required them to go to a certain building and one of them (Kaylani) had to bungee jump in a mall.

2 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Ernie and Cindy won the EP in Taipei at the end of Leg 1.

3 Non Elimination Leg.

Leg 1 was an NEL, thus saving Bill and Cathi, who came in last.

Leg 4 was an NEL, thus saving Liz and Marie, who came in last.

Leg 6 was an NEL, thus saving Marcus and Amani, who came in last.

4 SPEED BUMP - A task that must be performed only by the last place team on the next leg after they come in last during a NEL.

Bill and Cindi were last in NEL in the first leg, so had to perform a Speed Bump in Leg 2. AND the next leg will be a double elimination leg.. so Bill and Cathi will have to be at least in 9th place next round to stay in the race.

Liz and Marie were last to the pit stop in Leg 4 and thus had to complete a Speed Bump task in Leg 5. Their task was to clean up after and wash an elephant.

Marcus and Amani were last to the pit stop in Leg 6 and had to complete a Speed Bump task in Leg 7. This task consisted of solving a slide puzzle to create a picture of the new flag of Malawi.

5 DOUBLE ELIMINATION ROUND. Two teams will be eliminated. Round 2.


6 Round two. At the end of the detour tasks, teams were told to take the money they earned and donate it at an orphanage, where they would get a token and proceed to the pit stop. However, there was a sign on the table telling them to ALSO donate ALL money they had. This sign was missed by most teams, who then had to go back on foot to the orphanage, donate and return to the pitstop.. and this changed the order and caused one team (Ethan and Jenna) down to last two, and thus eliminated. Kaylani and Lisa did notice the sign, so, while being one of the last two teams to the pitstop, they lived to run another leg.

7 Laurence and Zac were team # 1 but incurred a 15 minute penalty for using four buckets to draw water, instead of the two buckets specified in the clue. This dropped them to second place behind Andy and Tommy.

8 Justin and Jennifer were team #1,but forgot to pay their truck driver, so Andy and Tommy took over first place while they had to return to pay the driver. They just made it back to be team #2.

Bill and Cindy also failed to pay their driver, so it seemed that they might have been ahead of the second arrival of Justin and Jennifer and the first arrival of Jeremy and Sandy.

Thus Bill and Cindy dropped from third to sixth (just beating out Marcus and Amani) and Jeremy and Sandy went from fourth to third.

Looks like Ernie and Cindy learned a lesson this week and use the UTurn next week, but of course they could use it on someone ahead of them like Laurance and Zac did this week.

Strange to see those rabbits jumping hurdles.. in the preview.

I know Andy and Tommy are wild favorites but I do wish other teams didn't make so many mistakes and at least the prizes could be spread out a bit more.. this week the U Turn would have bumped them down and three of the four other firsts have been because someone else messed up and was penalized.

Of course they won them all. Maybe there will be SOME task that doesn't favor two strong guys. But good job this week not giving up when the bike sort of fell apart!

And I'm sure their wives were happy to see them win more money so they can take them along on the trips they have won :-)

Laurance continues to be unpleasant, though this week it was less blatant, but he just treats his son like he's an idiot instead of an asset. And I'm happy that their use of the U Turn didn't actually change anything. I'd most want Laurance to go home next.

I keep thinking Ernie and Cindy wasted the Express Pass but there was that double U turn looming.

Sorry to see Jennifer and Justin go and I wouldn't have said that a couple of weeks ago, but they did redeem themselves, though Jennifer had a total brain fart this week and seemed pretty paralyzed.

Cindy bothers me a bit. I think she's just wound too tight or something that makes her seem unlikable to me. I like Ernie fine, I just don't like her much.

I'm sooo glad A/M didn't get eliminated. I, too, was surprisingly sorry to see J/J go, though. I'd like for Laurance to go next. Zack can stay, just send Laurence home lol.

Those poor locals took their lives in their hands riding as passengers on bicycles and being carried off the boats.

Well, being carried off the boat wasn't too bad, it was the getting off the shoulders that needed a little bit of landing skills.

Maybe doing the roadblock puzzle - which seemed a lot harder than many former roadblocks - got A&M's brains limbered up, because they sure worked smart to choose the non-boat challenge and pull it off!

Thank you again for the chart, Sea! My memory is NOT what it was -

Back to add -
Note to players: Read the clue. Take the clue with you so that you can re-read the clue. If you don't remember to bring the clue, go back and GET it and re-read it!

In actuality, going back to GET the clue would have solved Jennifer's dilemma!
