Amazing Race - "Head Down and Hold On" (Australia)

Popcorn night! Tonight they bring back some of our all time favorites it looks like. Promises to be an exciting race.

I'm glad you are as excited as I am. I have choir practice on Sunday nights but I prepare...I set my DVR to record all shows from 7 pm until 11 pm, make sure and put my tv channel on CBS before I leave the house, and then rush straight home....Shelby better not have any emergencies come up...or if she does it better involve gushing blood or compound fractures (okay just kidding about the Shelby party...LOL!). (Shelby is my 13 year old daughter.)

I'm so excited about this show, I dreamed about it this morning! I dreamed that Boston Rob was part of the cast! (I know, for some of you, that's a nightmare!)

Looking forward to it! Does anyone know if the show will be on time tonight or if it is delayed by sports?

Jimmer, golf was done here in the SE before 60 Minutes so it appears that it'll be on time.

Wooot! I'm getting excited! Can't wait to see the Globetrotters again, and crossing my fingers that Luke/Margie have either become better sports or will go out very early.

First team to check into pitstop at the end of this leg of the race will win Express Pass, can be used to skip task at a later date in the race.

Some changes to this race... No clue on top of bags. Phil has the clue. The first 8 teams to bring Phil what he needs (they have to search desert) will be on the first flight. The rest will be on the second flight, lands 90 min later. Also, last team to complete this task will receive an automatic U-Turn. Will have to complete both sides of the Detour this leg.

Run into field and bring Phil what he wants... What Phil is looking for: Queensland And Northern Territories Ariel Services (QANTAS) --- There are sticks with flags on them.

And they are off.

Several are bringing him different ones, none of them right.

Several have QANTAS. Mel & Mike get it, Zev & Justin, Jet & Cord... all on first flight. Flying to Sydney, Austraila.

Kisha & Jen on second flight.

Amanda & Kris finally put it together and looking for QANTAS now.

Gary & Mallory also looking for it. Both running back now.

Gary & Mallory on second flight. Amanda & Kris get it right but they have the U-Turn.

Amanda & Kris beating themselves up during their drive to the airport.

First flight boarding now. Teams on this flight happy not to be dreading being one of the last three teams.

Second flight boarding now and off.

Flight #1 has a medical emergency and they have to make a landing in Hawaii to get someone who has had a heart attack off the plane. (One team, who I missed, expressed annoyance at losing their lead while Flight Time/Big Easy are just happy the person is going to be ok.)

Flight #2 has landed and they are off. Gary/Mallory heard that the other flight hadn't landed and fill the others one in...

Flight #2 folks on a ferry together on their way.

Flight #1 landing now and all taking off at a run. Teams getting on train but others miss it. Ron & Christina and Mel & Mike and Jet & Cord miss it.

Ferry has landed at Ocean World. ROADBLOCK. "Who is ready to get tanked?"

One team member must swim with sharks. Look for compass on the bottom of tank. Decode message left for them: Find commodore and give him secret code to get next clue.

Mallory doing this task. She's in the tank and looking around. Gary says the sharks look hungry. Kisha doing the task while Jen watches her. Jen says just being in the tunnel under the water is making her nauseous.

Mallory says she zoned out to ignore the sharks. Says she was panning the whole tank.

More teams on the ferry now.

Gary sees a compass and Mallory gets one just as a shark swims overhead.

Amanda doing the task and she gets a compass quickly. Kris praising her from outside.

Jet & Cord lost and looking for the ferry. Looks like they are going to miss the ferry taking off now and they do just miss it.

The first flight went from a 90 minute lead to about a 30-minute deficit...and rumor has it that the producers made the teams on the 2nd flight wait for a later stopover otherwise it would have been about 8 hours...

Back with Mallory not sure what to do but she starts working on the code with the compass.

Amanda & Kris joining them and Amanda starts working.

Other teams arriving now.

Kris says Amanda is good at word puzzles as we see Amanda struggling to figure out what to do.

Kisha finds the compass.

Justin doing this task... Vyxsin doing it. (Getting confused about the others.) Christina is going to do it.

Mallory finishes the code and they ask someone for the location in the clue. Kisha now working on her code.

Back with Zev & Justin finding their compass as does Margie. Flight Time finds his as well. Jaime & Cara also get theirs. Vyxsin still searching.

Jet & Cord finally arrive, looks like Jet is going to do the task. Christina searching in the tank. Mel in the tank and searching.

Gary & Mallory arriving at the Sailing Club and giving the commodore their code. They get clue. Sail 16 FT Skiff as they race across the waters of Manly Bay. Have to find a bouy with clues.

Gary & Mallory getting wet suited up and headed out in their skiff.

Zev & Justin working on compass code. Kisha and Amanda working together to finish up. They get done and head off. Flight Time & Big Easy searching for the flags. Cara & Margie working together again.

Kisha & Jen and Amanda & Kris get their clue. Kisha happy to hear "you may not swim to the clue"

Gary gets their clue from the buoy.

Amanda & Kris have their clue from the buoy too.

Kisha & Jen in the skiff and get their clue too.

Back with Christina finding her compass as well as Mel. Jet also finds his. Vyxsin finally finds hers as well.

Gary & Mallory back on ground. Make way to Pit Stop, Shelly Beach.

Amanda & Kris and Kisha & Jen also off their skiffs and heading out to pit stop. (NOTE: I must have heard wrong initially and the U-Turn for Amanda & Kris must just be for the first time they encounter a DETOUR on the race, not this leg.)

Vyxsin having trouble using the gear correctly to get out of the tank.
