Did any of you see the TAR watermelon incident on ET last night? Won't say any more, but it was interesting.

I guess it's all over Youtube. I saw her interview on ET last night. Although her face was numb and her head hurt she went on with the game. She was checked out by doctor's and giving the green light to proceed. I would have thought she must have suffered from a slight concussion considering her symptoms.

Can you believe that after waiting FOREVER - or what seems nearly that long - I am working (as a volunteer no less) at TPAC's (TN Performing Arts Center) presentation of the opening engagement of the road show of "9 to 5" tomorrow evening? You can believe that I will be at the library to watch TAR on line as soon as I get out of ballet class on Monday morning! Well, of course I will peep in here in the morning before I even GO to class!

I showed my son the video, and he said we should go on the race so I could have a nice vacation, because he was confident I could be the first one out!

Tee hee hee Merrysea! Your son has a great sense of humor! They really took their loss gracefully didn't they? They said in one of the other CBS videos that the only ones they met were the two teams (pics shown) that were on their earlier flight. So it's going be hard, I would imagine, knowing who to root for as the game progresses.

I'll be rooting for the doctors, Nat & Kat, and also the 'melonface' gals. Dreadful accident but they couldn't help laugh about it... Might be the only time a person got whacked by their own ballista ammo, good thing it was just a ripe melon!

So it's going be hard, I would imagine, knowing who to root for as the game progresses. Maybe I should clarify, at Elimination Station the losers are always figuring whichever team may be coming in next. That's what I meant - hard for Ron & Tony to root for/against whomever. Personally, I'm liking so many of the teams I sure can't figure. I like the doctors and watermelonface team, really like the singing two guys (that stopped twice, for the stalled car team PLUS the flat tire team, to try to help). But, it's so totally refreshing that most of the teams are likable. Really bumps up the pleasure of the race IMO!! Thx CBS! Me, I want to see the RACE! Not some high school drama screaming beauty queen soap opera, unless (of course) they've been attacked by a watermelon or somesuch. ETA: I have to say, THAT was a gutsy response on the part of the women team that was attacked by the errant watermelon! Wasn't sure I would like them at first, but now I'm watching impressed.

I've watched this show for many years but have never heard of the Elimination Station. I guess I just thought they went home until the finale. Nice crib in Cancun!

We try to give the Elim Sta link in EACH episode's thread, so if someone is reading at a later date they don't have to go fishing for it. It's really a treat each week.

I don't think they have always showed Elimination Station...but they have for the last few seasons and it is, in my opinion, one of the highlights of my week to watch. They are always in such a beautiful place and seeing how some of these people decompress from the experience is always interesting.

Thanks for the link,Aurora. I really like Ron and Tony. I'm enjoying this season's TAR because it's such a nice group of people and there's practically no drama queen behaviour.

ATTENTION all Who Dats-- HELP!!!!! "Philimination Game" Some one was kind enough to send an e-mail about my picks..LOL seemed I have confused myself out of the picks last week. (a) Do we have 2 games going at once? (b) Where would I find "Who Dat"? (c) I want to take part in the game where i have to give one name (safe) each week (d) Where (under which thread) do i post my picks each week? (e) Am I still safe this week? (although Nat/Kat seemed lost (like me) I am looking for the results sheet with all the names I saw last week.

Trini, yes there are two games going on at once. If you go up one level from this thread, you should be at the main "Amazing Race VII" section. There you should find the treads "General Discussion," "Philimination Game," "Amazing Race Game," and a variety of other discussions including each week's discussion of each episode. The Philimination Game is the one where you pick a "safe" team for the week, and once you use a team you can't use them again for the season. For this week only, there is a special extention to the deadline to let people find their way back to the game, and/or to change their picks leading into next week. This is in response to the Non Elimination Leg aired this past Sunday. So you still have time to submit a pick. The Amazing Race Game is where you pick the first and last place teams each week, as well as answer whatever Bonus question our host comes up with each week. Both games are claiming WhoDats and Pajama People teams to play with. Hope that helps!

Nat & Kat, I picked them to win it all, last night they had me hiding my face, i couldn't believe their luck, or lack of it. I realised they may not be too aware as i thought. To be honest I do not think they will win it all. Growing up in Trinidad & Tobago we played that roller game as children. That is the rim of a bike, we made our own toys back then.

Question - Is it known whether any more Express Passes will be awarded or was that for the first leg only? Thanks. P.S. You grew up in Trinidad & Tobago, Trini?

Hopefully not...it seemed pretty silly to me. But do they now have a Fast Forward this leg?

Thanks, Roxip. I don't know about the FF either, wish TAR would go back to having more of them.
