Elimination station is in Cancun this year? Awesome! I'm still miffed that CBS has blocked all the videos on the site this year. I get it that they can't show us Canadians the episodes that air, but fer cryin' out loud, why not the Elimination Station and the behind the scenes stuff? Not fair!!

Still looking forward to tonight's episode.

Hey Karen, I remember when I was 'Adobe Challenged' and frustrated (dang knashing teeth!), I now use Chrome to watch because Firefox is 'plug-in challenged'.

I will make it a point to dredge for Youtubes if I can find them! Believe me, I will work hard to find them for you!

Nope. "This video contains content from CBS, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. "

Trust me, I've tried looking. Every site just pulls it from the main CBS feed. Ah well. It's kinda ironic that TAR is my favourite reality show, and in the past years I've always been too busy to be able to fully check out the online stuff; this is the first year I have the time to check it out and they've blocked us! Ah well.

Race is a little delayed here in the East. 60 Minutes just ended so it should be starting momentarily.
