Yay Raen! Thanks! It won't be the first time my newspaper TV guide was off. Last night I was reading from CBS schedule. Yippee for 1 & 1/2hr show! Doing the happy dance.

Back with Gary changing their tire and noting they can't go too fast with the donut on the car. Brook/Claire racing for their boat. They are putting on their life vests and pushing off, they are pulling themselves along and then it just sinks so they just swim along it. THey go back and get back in and now going slowly across the water. More teams arriving at the castle now. Katie/Rachel in 5th place. Chad/Stephanie in 4th place. Katie/Rachel calling Chad/Stephanie, "Tinkerbell and her boyfriend." Ron/Tony finally get their clue at Stonehenge. They find out there are "lots and lots" of teams ahead of them. They are trying to talk themselves up in the car ride to the Castle. Jill/Thomas about halfway across the water. Nat/Kat says it took them a couple of times to realize it really was a balance game. They are all talking themselves through this part, trying to go slow and steady. Chad/Stephanie arriving at the water now. Katie/Rachel grabbing their flag. Jill/Thomas get across first. Chad/Stephanie fighting as they try to keep themselves steady on the boat. They keep sinking and Stephanie tells Chad to chill out. Andie/Jenna asking for directions to the Castle and no one seems to know. They say driving around lost is the worst. Nick/Vicki also stopping for directions and no one knows where to go. Ron/Tony hoping they are going the right direction now. Back at the castle, Jill/Thomas arriving at the Knights and delivering their flag. "Who is ready to go to battle with a Knight in Shining Armor?" Must fire watermelons at a suit of armor standing 50 meters away. Thomas is going to do it and Claire is going to do it. They have to ride the horse to the watermelons. I think Nat is doing it as well. Thomas says he almost fell off the horse. He arrives and starts firing his melons. Brooke yelling encouragement to Claire. All three shooting melons but not hitting anything yet. Connor/Jonathan arriving at the Castle now. Chad/Stephanie slowly but surely working their way across the water. Katie/Rachel getting in their boat. Connor/Jonathan climbing their ladder now, they say they are missing their graduation to be on the race. Chad/Stephanie's boat sinks so they head back to the beginning. Connor/Jonathan getting in their boat now. Thomas having trouble firing his watermelons. All three teammates yelling encouragement. Thomas finally hits his suit and knocks it down. He finds the Court Jester and gets his clue. Search for Castle Meadow for the pit stop. They head off to find the meadow. They find it pretty quickly and are... Team #1. They have won very first Express Pass. Phil hands it to Thomas. They say they are excited. Katie/Rachel arriving on the shore now and off to find their Knight. Back with Nat and Claire firing watermelons. Nat hits her Knight and heads off to get the clue. Brook yells encouragement to Claire and she almost gets it. Nat/Kat are Team #2. They cheer and hug. Michael and Kevin climbing up the Castle wall now. Back with Claire firing her watermelons. Rachel is also there now. Brook encourages Claire and this time the watermelon comes back and hits her in the face. We go to commercial on Brook rubbing Claire's back as she covers her face with her hands.

@Biscottiii: Well, I must be honest, I don't see how we have another half hour left... so maybe it really was CBS "scheduling" to be cover any football overage? Because it seems more likely that it will end on time at 10PM (in the East).

Back with Claire and Brook tells her she has to finish and Claire says, "I can't even see straight." Brook, "They don't call it The Amazing Race for nothing." Chad says it was humbling to have Connor/Jonathan pass them on the water. (Well, he called them "The Nerds.") Claire says it is frustrating to see these other teams catching up. Katie/Rachel say Claire is tough. Connor is firing the watermelons for their team. Claire gets close with her first watermelon after her face hit. Brook telling Claire how proud she is of her and Claire hits the suit. They head off to get their clue. Connor/Jonathan finish and get their clue with Katie/Rachel right behind them. All three teams racing each other to the pit stop. Connor/Jonathan are Team #3. Brook/Claire are Team #4. Brook/Claire laughing about the watermelon incident in their interview. Katie/Rachel are Team #5. Gary/Mallory finally arrive at the Castle. Michael/Kevin are getting in their boat. (Chad/Stephanie must be done because I don't see t hem still on the water.) Michael/Kevin sinking every time they try to get in the boat. Andie/Jenna still lost and searching for where to go. They finally find the castle on a map. Ron/Tony still on the road as well. Chad/Stephanie get their final clue and Chad thinks the meadow is on the other side of the castle. Gary/Mallory climbing the Castle wall now. They get their flag and head off to lakeshore. Kevin/Michael are still having trouble. Michael/Kevin finally see what to do by watching Gary/Mallory. Chad/Stephanie still searching for the meadow and Chad still thinks it'll be on the other side of the Castle. Nick/Vicki still asking people for directions to the Castle. They finally get someone to direct them the right way. Ron/Tony worried about how far behind they are... and they're still searching for the Castle.

@Biscottiii: And, HA, now I take that back. Apparently I underestimated how many teams would have trouble finding the final location tonight. Too many teams to get through for a 10PM finish.

Nick/Vicki finally figure out the boats. Ron/Tony up the wall and running for the boats now. Chad/Stephanie still searching for pit stop. Gary gets his suit of armor and they head off for the pit stop. Michael/Kevin also get theirs and head off. Gary/Mallory are Team #6 and Michael/Kevin are Team #7. Hugs all around on the mat. Chad/Stephanie are Team #8 and they hug. Chad says it was very humbling. Andie/Jenna get their suit. Nick/Vicki getting across the water and Ron/Tony try to get in their boat and having trouble. Andie/Jenna are Team #9. Nick starting to fire his watermelons now as Ron/Tony still struggling to get across the water (or away from the dock really). Nick finally gets a hit and they head off to the pit stop. Nick/Vicki are Team #10. Ron/Tony talking about their weight distribution. Phil asks Vicki what country she thinks she is in and she says, "We're in London, right?" Phil, "Yes, you're in the country of London." HA. Ron/Tony finally checking in and they are the last team to arrive. They have been eliminated. They hug. Ron says to do this with his best friend and to help him fulfill a dream... "Life is good."
