next week: Teams go to Thailand. Face a rock wall and spend some time at the beach.

Enjoy the show everyone. It was kind of odd with so many people working together. It is a race after all.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this weekend. Gobble Gobble.

perfect Pippin

Now why did they have to go plant rice? (ds came for a visit, Amani and Marcus were at the sheep - but decded to go to the rice field - was it because their bags of grass werent full?)

Weird race tonight with most people giving info to each other at the temple. Did anyone share with the older couple or did the husband do the count on his own? Gosh, the snow boarders are nice guys and fun to watch.

Yes, the snow boarders ARE nice guys! They told the father and son to READ the clue at the well - always GOOD advice to any and all racers at all times. Why Amani and Marcus didn't pay attention to what they were being told is a wonder to me!

I loved how one of the "dudes" - voice in the cab so I don't know which - was talking about coming on the race to see such amazing sights as the temple came into view.

Could a moderator assure Pippin in a super official sort of notice that, once the show has aired, spoiler boxes are not needed? I keep losing the thread as I go in and out of them!TIA!!

Tntitanfan I do know that in most threads but I can assure you I have been told to do this here. I am good with it and do not wish to step on toes or offend anyone.

Pippin, the specific show threads are spoiler threads, so it's okay to just go ahead and post what's happening. Those of us not on the East Coast know better than to look in here if we don't want to know what's going on; but many people do check to find out in advance what's going to happen.

We do ask that people not post spoiler information in other areas of the board.

Thanks for doing the spoiling!

Yeah, that's why I set the thread up on Show Day (as soon after midnight as my egg-timer yammers).

Much appreciate the spoiling!

Normally, though, if the start is delayed in the US, I think we don't post spoilers from, say, Nova Scotia. I think, anyway, that has been the procedure followed.

I think this was if we had a fairly detailed US east coast spoiler people could follow the show and not just see results. I could be wrong.

And Pippin's technique still allows people who just want to see results more quickly to peek and see them.

So.. maybe mods need to discuss and get back with something official?

Tonight, with Pippin being the only spoiler, it wouldn't seem to require the spoiler tags but of course it never hurts since anyone can click on those cool boxes.

Now that I think on it, it was mostly because when Raen is spoiling for us in detail, she really is watching at the same time and doesn't want to be spoiled here before the end of the show in Florida.. So that was sort of an informal deal to allow us to have her detailed spoilers here.

Not the case tonight.

I just wish football and Amazing Race did not run into each other, ever.

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.

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 will have 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.

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.

Borobudur has over 500 statues, plus 72 inside the stupas. Guess they were told to only count on one level.

It's funny that when Bill was done counting, Cathi mumbled in a low voice something about there starting to be some tension. I'm sure her screeching over and over at Bill not to let the others overhear had nothing to do with that, huh?

Can't say I'm broken up to see Lisa and Kaylani go. Didn't hate them, but wasn't all that fond of them either.

Go Snowboarders!!!

I still can't get over Amani and Marcus not paying attention to the clues being given to them at the temple.

Am I the only one who HATES that they share info? I always looked at the AR like playing golf...you're playing along with others, but 'against' the course. Takes away the original spirit of the race to me.

I like to watch and read the spoilers at the same time.

I like the fact that Pippin put her spoiling in a box. I didn't want to read what was happening 35 minutes before what I was watching.

In other words, I liked the spoiler boxes.

When the one guy sat down to do the hand signals, I thought he was tired.

It took me a moment to realize he wanted to do them like the Buddah was doing them.

Love that the Snowboarders are friends, working like a team, and ENJOYING the sites, experience, and are nice to the other teams.And they are paying attention to the clues! Reminds me of the Hippies.

But the snowboarders were also trying to manipulate who THEY wanted to be in the race (they said as much, or at least it appeared to me that they did). I am getting the impression that perhaps the older couple are not well liked (and I'm beginning to see why...she really wasn't very subtle in her encouragement to her husband to keep quiet, was she?).

I'm not a big fan of sharing information, since it unfairly or inadvertently targets people who might not be in the "cool" crowd. Of course last night it was just funny since the football guy was so exhausted and out of it that he didn't really pay that much attention. It was also a great bit of luck for he and his wife that they dismissed their cab driver before the task since that certainly helped speed them on their way to the pit stop.

I did think it was sweet that the snowboarders were genuinely distressed that they won reward and gave credit to the other team for helping them get through the counting task.

By the way, I thought Laurence and Zac only received a 15 minute penalty for the bucket thing.

Nothing wrong with the spoiler boxes but I don't recall ever having them during the actual viewing of the show before.

Once a show has aired on the East Coast of the United States, the results may be posted in the show thread without a spoiler box.

Please keep in mind that despite good intentions, there is always a chance that you may be spoiled any time you access the Internet and you should consider that a possibility.

Can we get back to discussing the show now. And thanks for all the information Pippin. It's much appreciated. :-)

wow - I didnt see it that way ie Cathy and Bill,, I do see it now! (I guess I felt sorry for them the first leg wandering around 4 hours - so maybe that tainted them forward - but I can see how their attitude is coming across differently than how I interpreted it!

I thought it was only a 15 min penalty too Roxip, I remember telling dh - wow 15 min isnt that long, but maybe that was how long it would've taken them to redo that part of the task over again as the clue said, no more than 2 buckets...
