Race Night! Maybe from the title, the teams will be required to learn to cook that cheese fondue which just about derailed Zev & Justin and sent the Cowboys home. j/k, I have no clue what's going to happen but eager to see.

I had forgotten ALL about Phil's videos until I stumbled upon them while online at the library. I got caught up through Episode 5!

Well, it is 7:43 here but I haven't even turned on the show yet...I guess I really did like the Cowboys and really don't care much now without them...but I'll get lonely without you guys so I had better go and watch.

Yes, K&V are gone. They incurred a 30 minute penalty for taking a taxi when the instructions were to walk. That did them in.

Yuh-hunh!

They screwed up at the end, taking a taxi when the clue said "Make your way on foot." They incurred a 30-minute penalty, and Gary/Mallory and Zev/Justin both came in before the time was up.

Ok, was it Vyxin that took FT's gnome back or someone else? GT's go from fifth to first! Yay!

EWWWWW, goodie, goodie, goodie!

Interesting that G/M, Z/J, and FT/BE all 3 have not evenly split their Roadblocks - K/V HAVE - so it was looking like it could get dicey should some of the weaker players get frustrated.

Instead, K/V fell due to the ol' "Make your way on foot" ploy and that was the.end. Can't wait to watch it tonight!!!

Doing a little happy dance. I'm rooting for the GT but I like all of the teams left so whomever wins, wins.

I am soooooooooo happy right now. The evils are gone and the good guys came in #1. I hope Mallory is the next to go. I like Z/J considering Zev's disabilities and Justin's patience with him, they do good.

I'd love to see the Globetrotters and Zev/Justin as the final 2.

It would seem to me that the freezer trays should have been labeled with team names so that "confusion" could not arise, but, of coure, that would have cut down on drama!!

The sooner V cuts K loose, the sooner her life will begin to improve. She is way too good, mature, pleasant, and intelligent to stay hooked up to such an immature and toxic person. He is 35, going on 6!

I'd agree, TNT, if I knew he was like this all the time. We've only seen them on the race.

I'd have chosen Mallory to go before them, but happy that Zev and Justin lived to play another leg.

Big Easy, who I do like, was making me crazy..

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.

Gary and Mallory chose to use the Express Pass in Leg 5 which saved them from the dinosaur building task, where they had arrived last, and put them in second place behind Jet and Cord.

3 At time of TBC on first leg/show, Jet and Cord had 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.

Leg 4 of this race, at least on the fourth show, ended with racers being sent on with no actual pit stop, and with Zev/Justin still working on the Detour task and Kent/Vyxsin about to have to retrace to the gondola looking for their pack with money and passports, and not yet at the detour. ETA: Zev/Justin came in 8th and Kent/Vyxsin came in 9th (NEL)

P- Leg 3. The Globetrotters arrived 3rd at the Pit Stop and Ron & Christina 4th, but Phil imposed a 30 min. penalty on the Trotters because they took R/C pack and left it in the changing area and didn't tell R/C who lost time looking for it. This moved R/C into 3rd and the Trotters into 4th, but Jen/Kisha arrived within the penalty time so they took 4th and the Trotters were 5th.

Leg 4: Kent and Vyxsin didn't take the designated flight. At the TBC end of Leg 4 they were informed that they would receive a 30 minute penalty at the NEXT Pit Stop (presumably because 30 min at the point of the TBC would be meaningless if they all bunch to take the train back to Kunming.)

At the Pit Stop for Leg 5, Kent and Vyxsin arrived fourth but waited out their 30 minute penalty, so Jen and Kisha moved into fourth, with Kent and Vyxsin taking fifth.

Leg 10. Kent and Vyxsin took a taxi to the pit stop. The clue said "on foot". Thus they incurred a 30 min penalty and went from third to fifth and were eliminated from the race.

P Leg 3 Mel and Mike didn't complete the detour due to extreme cold.. Mike called it off. And this meant they were last and eliminated.

NEL Non Elimination Leg.
Leg 4 was a non elimination leg.

Leg 8 was a non elimination leg.

I wonder who really took the Globe's gnome tray. It did appear Vixyn put hers on the bottom shelf, so I'm guessing it was someone else. Either way, I'm so glad to see them gone. I'd be okay with any of the others winning. I'd be happy with the Globes or Zev/Justin winning.

Recap is up

And nobody took the tray in the freezer. There would have been a penalty if so. If the Globetrotters got a penalty for taking a fannypack by accident, there definitely would have been one here, and it's not like the cameras could have missed it.

We missed the end of the show on the west coast because of the news about Osama Bin Laden and I couldn't be happier to have my show interrupted!

I did not enjoy the goths tonight but neither did I enjoy the Globetrotters nor did I like that Mallory picked up saying "she took his work" without knowing the facts.

Go Zev and Justin for the win!

I know we will miss the show here in California but I think it is for a good reason! Just checked CBS.com and looks like it has full episodes. Right now it is last week's episode but I am sure tonight's episode will be up tomorrow.
