Getting this started- except for a few pockets of places mainly on the East Coast, we should start on time- and those pockets will be less than 10 minutes late (those who had the Ravens/Bengals game at 4)

1:15AM: Lorena/Jason leave.

2:46: Ronald/Christina leaving but she forgets her fanny pack and goes back for it.

2:47AM: Kate & Pat leaving. They are following Ron/Christina.

Nicolas/Donald have a flat tire and are putting ont he spare now. Shana/Jennifer pass them. They say they would definitely stop and help if they looked hurt but they didn't.

3:00-ish AM: The other two teams leave.

First two teams arriving at the airport now. Each heading off to check on tickets. The ticket counter doens't open until 6AM and that's close to the flight time.

Lorena/Jason now there as well.

Ronald/Christina and Kate/Pat stop at a travel agency or a place with a computer. NOt sure which as it's Christina looking at the computer. Oh, it's an Inn. They head off, Ron telling Christina he wants to go. Kate/Pat then talk about how Ron got hard on Christina.

Nathan/Jennifer hoping the other teams will still be at the airport when they get there. They get there and are in 6th place. Ticket counter open now and teams getting teams. Azaria/Hendekea find out they have 12 seats available on the Shannon to Dublin flight... the connecting flight only has 6 seats open. So it'll be a competition to see who can get from Dublin to Amsterdam.

Ronald/Christina and Kate/Pat finally arrive. The people in the line are freaking about how much time it is taking. There are only two seats available now. Nathan/Jennifer at the counter too... it's all a matter of which counter agent is faster. Nathan/Jennifer get on the flight. Donald/Nicolas say their flat tire killed them. They are on the second flight but on stand-by for the first.

The first teams getting on their flight now. Meanwhile, Marianna & Julia finally get to the airport and it doesn't look like they'll make it on the flight. They don't.

The first flight takes off.

DUBLIN: Teams getting off and racing to second flight. Teams who are on stand-by are racing over to see if they can get on the list. Donald/Nicolas go to one counter and have to wait. Ronald/Christina at a different counter. Ronald says that they are not being pushy.

Ronald/Christina come over to talk to Donald/Nicolas. Ronald giving Nicolas hell for how he was being pushy and rude to the ticket agent. He keeps going. Nicolas says Ronald snapped and there was nothing he could do but to stand back and let him say it all.

TK & Rachel switching since they can't get it working the other way. Rachel working and gets a knot working. She's hoisting now. They have 1 item.

Other teams getting off the train and off looking or the clue. TK/Rachel now have 4 items and are working on their last item. They get it done and get clue. They head off for the bus.

1st bus arrives. ROADBLOCK. Ditch Vault. Must complete a single vault.

Jennifer is doing it for Nathan/Jennifer. Jason doing it for Lorena/Jason. Jason makes it, runs to get clue and heads back.

CLUE: Drive cargo bike for marked drop off point. It's the pit stop.

Lorena/Jason head off. Jennifer tries her vault and falls in the mud. She has to go again.

Back in Amsterdam, the second bus has arrived and teams getting on.

Jennifer/Shana complete the vault successfully (well, the one who did it) and heads off to get clue. Nathan frustrated that she did it and Jennifer can't. Jennifer tells him not to do that right now.

Ronald/Christina debating what to do and she finally gives in and says to go do the bikes since he is so worried about the furniture part.

Shana/Jennifer (whichever one did this task) goes right into the mud on the way back. They head off. Nathan/Jennifer finally get clue and head off.

Lorena/Jason arriving first and running to the mat. They are Team #1. They hug and kiss. They say they are happy about today and feel more confident with each other. They each win sport bike.

Marianna/Julia searching for their second bike and find it. Kate/Pat searching now too. Ronald/Christina running now.

Nathan/Jennifer arriving at drop off point. Nathan/Jennifer with Shana/Jennifer arrive at mat. Nathan/Jennifer are team #2. Shana/Jennifer are team #3. Phil jokes about them not wanting to hug their partners.

Marianna/Julia off to bus. Ronald/Christina can't find their other bike. Christina wants him to stay positive. Kate/Pat find one bike. Looking for their second bike now. Ronald freaking out on Christina, frustrated looking for bike. Marianna/Julia waiting for bus. Ronald finally find his bike. They head off. They high five.

Ronald/Christina still going at here. Christina telling him to stop if he wants her to lead him.

TK/Rachel, Azaria/Hendekea, and Kynt/Vyxsin arriving at ROADBLOCK. Nicolas/Donald watching the other groups first to decide who should do it.

Rachel makes it across and is off to get clue. Kynt falls right in the water. (He earlier said he is kind of a prissy guy and doesn't like getting dirty.) Pat/Kate get their last bike and head off. Ronald/Christina talking at the bus stop. Ronald telling Christina she needs to be more decisive. He says he let her loose on this thing and she basically disappointed him.

Back with Ronald talking to Christina. She asks if she can speak and tells him that he is hard on her. She is crying now and he gives her a hug. He tells her it is not for a 58 year old man to change. Kate/Pat get the clue and looking for bus stop and the bus arrives. They miss it though.

TK/Rachel off to pit stop. Kynt makes it across and gets clue. Donald gives it a try and doens't make it. Kynt/Vyxsin leaving now. Kat/Pat get on a bus. Hendekea makes it across and gets clue. They head off. Kynt and Vyxsin trading places on the bike as Donald strips down to do his task. TK/Rachel don't see the drop off point and ride right past Phil.

Kynt/Vyxsin are team #4. They high five. Azaria/Hendekea asking for directions and come upon TK/Rachel. Donald can't get across.

Azaria/Hendekea and TK/Rachel are teams #5 and #6.

Marianna/Julia and Ronald/Christina arrive. Donald finally makes it across. They head off. Marianna makes it across in one try. She says pole vaulting was her main event in track & field in high school. Marianna/Julie are off as Christina doesn't make it across.

Donald/Nicolas pass the drop off point as Marianna/Julia arrive are team #7. Donald/Nicolas are team #8 and Phil says there were complaints from the locals that he got down to his underpants and Donald says he went further than that.

Christina is trying to make it across and Ronald keeps giving her criticism on how to do it. She finally makes it across and Ronald says he thinks he could have done better. Ronald driving the bike and he drops Christina. Still they are team #9. Ronald very happy and hugs Christina. Phil says it was tough for them and Christina says yes, that they don't know their work skills and need to learn to commnicate better.

Kate and Pat are at the vault area and she's clearly been trying it several times but we see her make it. (Pat, that is.) Kate doing the driving her. They are, however, the last team to arrive and they have been eliminated from the race. They just wish they could have lasted longer. Kate says she thinks they proved to each other, again, that they are meant to be together. They hug.

Next time: Christina tries to manage her father. Lorena loses more than just milk at the roadblock.


Also, I'll be in LA next week so I won't be able to spoil. Hopefully someone else will be around!

Wow. Just wow. I wanted to hug Christina when Ronald was going at her like that. I admire her for handling him as well as she did, I'm certain that I wouldn't have. I can't believe he told that little girl she needed to lose weight and then he flipped her over in the bike. What a dad.

I would rather have seen Nate and Jennifer go home, but I'm not all that bummed about the team that left. They lost me when they couldn't even concentrate on looking for a bicycle.

Oh I really wanted N/J to go home.. I'm very disappointed with the two teams with local connections (or those two.. at least one went home last week). Not that I've seen tonight's show yet but they sound like they are still bickering.

I thought it was entertaning that most teams started out with the male partners on the knot tying end of those that did that detour. Who ties the most kids' shoes, hair ribbons, sashes, ribbons on presents, etc.?

LOL, Tnttitanfan, I thought that was funny as well that the guys couldn't tie knots.

Did I see it wrong or did Kynt drop his feet in the middle of that puddle and just kind of drag/walk them up to the other side and boom..he's completed the task. I was shocked at how easy it was and then I saw the others having to completely cross without touching. Why did Kynt get to touch?

I'm just at the first of that task, but Phil said on the way TO the clue they have to touch both feed on the grass but coming back it is "ANY way they'd like.." so I guess they can hit the water on the way back..
