Just starting this so everyone knows that the game on the East coast is going over so the race will be a little late. I plan to be here but I'm with family so hopefully I won't lose control of the TV before the race starts.

Does the Rout info say anything about Roma? Cameraman kept flashing it... Or is that where they dropped it? Bummers for TK & Rach! ETA: Yeah! First fight!

Croatia: 2:19 AM: Ron/Christina leave. Travel to Italy. Go by bus to ferry to Italy. They are taking a cab to the bus station. They say it is key that their relationship remain strong now that the race is heating up. 2:55 AM: Kynt/Vyxsin leave. They say the pink and black attack is doing pretty awesome. They say their love for each other has been asset and why they have gotten this far. 3:45 AM: Nathan/Jennifer leaving. They are high fiving. Jennifer says their being together in the end is unpredictable. Ron/Christina arrive and 5AM is the first bus. They are waiting now. Kynt/Vyxsin arrive and asking someone to show them what bus to take. Christina says it is like a performance every time she sees them. Nathan/Jennifer arriving too. They say the other people will not make it to the 5AM bus. 5AM: They are leaving. 5:37 AM: TK/Rachel leaving now. Tk/Rachel saying they haven't seen any teams since the last leg of the race. They are on a 6AM bus. 7:06AM: Donald/Nicolas are off. Donald says they'll have to hope they bunch up someplace. Everyone on the ferry now. Looks like they are all on the same ferry. Everyone else playing cards but Kynt/Vxysin say they are getting focused. Ferry arrives and they are off. TK/Rachel see them on something as the others run past. Drive yourself to Empoli. Have to make way to airfield. They have been given a Blackberry device. They will get a message. May not use the Blackberry for anything else. All getting in cars now. Nathan/Jennifer in first place. Nicolas/Donald out second. Tk/Rachel out third. Vyxsin is going to drive because Kynt is a "freshman" in the land of stick driving. Nathan/Jennifer asking for directions now. They are told not to go up as it will be out of the way. Others seem to be getting different directions? Not sure here, it's hard to tell but the editors are emphasizing this so... Nathan/Jennifer taking a Forli exit. Rachel left her clue where they were asking for directions. They pull over to look for it and they can't find it. TK/Rachel still looking as the others are getting off at different exits. Some going towards Bologna and some going to Forli. TK/Rachel aren't sure what to do now. They say they have to go back. Rachel says she understands they are out of the race without the clue and that's why she's so upset and frustrated.

Raen, I heard Bolognia(sp?) and then Florence for most of the team. But TK & Rach had ann odd lady telling them they should go to Roma(Rome) before going to Florence. That was where they left that blue Route Info thing all racers get for where to go next ...

(Chy: Yep, that's where they left it.) Everyone on their way, most are going via Bologna. TK/Rachel back at where they were asking for directions and the people have the paper. They get it and are off again. Rachel says it feels like it is gold in her hand. They say they know they are heading in the right direction and they have a faster way to get there. Everyone getting their messages now. They are messages from home. Ron/Christina get one from their wife/mother. She says she knows how important this trip is for them to get closer. Vyxsin crying about getting a message from her mom. Nicolas pulls over because Donald can't figure out how to answer the message. Nathan/Jennifer on twisty roads. Those going via Bologna are hitting a lot of traffic. TK/Rachel going via Roma. Ronald/Christina getting detoured so they have to find another way. Kynt/Vyxsin and Donald/Nicolas also having this problem. Donald/Nicolas get out to ask when the road will be open. They are told 6AM. They decide to wait for it to open. Nathan/Jennifer arrive in Empoli and they get the first number. They hug to be the first to arrive. Ron/Christina looking for which direction to be going. Kynt/Vyxsin also off on twisty road they aren't sure they'll make it by sunup. TK/Rachel on the road to Empoli and they are the second team to arrive. They can't believe it. They are high fiving and hugging Nathan/Jennifer. Nicolas/Donald on their way again. Ronald/Christina on the road and Ronald congratulating Chris on her job with the map. Kynt/Vyxsin not sure they are goin the right way. Vyxsin thinks they are going the wrong way. In the morning, 7AM, Nathan/Jennifer and TK/Rachel getting ROADBLOCK clue. Soar through skies over tuscany in an ultralight. Must scan fields for name of their next destination (Vinci). Instructor will give them their next clue. 30 minute time limit per flight. Once it's up they must land for re-fueling before contining to search. FAST-FORWARD: Only one on the race. Make way to Fabio Studio to take part in local sea-faring tradition. Have to get a tattoo "FF" on their arm. Once they have both been inked they will get FF clue. Nathan doesn't want to do it. TK/Rachel not doing it either. Jennifer thinks it might be a mistake that they aren't doing the FF. The boys are off in their ultralites. The girls cheering them on. Both searching. Nathan says he felt like a bird. TK looking around... he says it was very exciting and thrilling. Ronald/Christina and Donald/Nicolas arriving now. Ron/Christina decide not to do FF. Nicolas/Donald are looking at the FF. They wonder if it's too dangerous. Nicolas says, "Let's do the FF. What the hell." They say they have to take a risk. Ronald/Christina bickering a bit with Christina wondering if they should do the FF and Ron saying he has said he doesn't want to do it. They have no idea what they're supposed to be doing right now. Kynt/Vyxsin still in the car and Vyxsin is freaking out. She says it's been 30 hours since she slept and she's so stressed out. They change places with Kynt driving now. Nathan finds the name of the place and tells his pilot to go down. TK still searching. Nathan landing now and dancing in his seat. Rachel hopes TK will be here in a few minutes. Nathan gets it right and they get the clue. Drive themselves to Vinci and find birthome of Da Vinci. Nathan/Jennifer are off. Nathan says some FF don't work out and we flash to Donald/Nicolas driving to FF. TK landing for re-fueling and getting ready to go back up. Donald/Nicolas arrive at Fabio Studios. Donald says, "This could be bad." They are being told what they have to do. Donald isn't sure about the tattoo. He doesn't know if he can do it.

Rach just heard Ron yelling at Chris for the first time. She didn't like it.... Let's hope people will get together and talk to Ron. If he sees his horrible self from others' views, he might lear it better... Poor Chris! Grandps not sure about the tattoo! I do believe it's a mis-direction though. He will do it I assume.

How about that Jennifer? She's all upset that Nic & Granps took the FF and they will yet miss the chance of finishing first again! Well, if she wanted that first in one leg so badly, she should have opted to take the FF as it was offered to them first! That's the only way to be 100% certain, as Nick and Grandpa is right now! I just hope hope hope that, it's not the way the fighting couple would finally be vindicated: Getting first at the last leg where it really counts!

Back with the FF. Donald gives in and says OK. He talks about how the thought of having a permanent marking on your body plays with your mind a little bit. Nathan/jennifer asking for directions to Vinci. Christina up in the air and directing her pilot where to go. TK still can't find it. Someone sees it. Christina... TK frustrated that he still can't find it. Nicolas and Donald getting their tattoos now. Jennifer/Nathan arriving in Vinci. Christina landing now and gets her clue.

Kynt/Vyxsin switching places AGAIN because Kynt can't get the car to drive. TK/Rachel still assembling, they can't quite figure out what to do. Vyxsin thinks there is something with the car. TK/Rachel think they have it together. Slowly but surely it is lifting. Kynt/Vyxsin out of the car and running now. Phil tells us that a replacement car will be provided but no time credit will be given for this unlucky situation. Ronald/Christina are team #3. They hug. TK/Rachel still working on lifting their stone. They are reading their stone now with the mirror. TK/Rachel off to pit stop and as Kynt/Vxysin are still running. TK/Rachel happy again. Kynt/Vyxsin learning the flag routine now as TK/Rachel blow out a tire. They pull over to change it as Kynt/Vyxsin get their clue. Kynt/Vyxsin in their replacement car now. TK/Rachel getting their spare on the car now. They are done and off again. Both arriving but we don't know who is first. TK/Rachel are first at the mat. They are team #4. They are still in the race. They can't believe. Tk doesn't even know what to say. He says being fourth is just an incredible relief. Kynt/Vyxsin are the last team to arrive but they are not eliminated... sometime during the next leg they will encounter new twist. SPEED BUMP. May find themselves behind and have to do a lot of work to catch up. Vyxsin crying. She apologizes... they talk about how this was a hard leg. They say the SPEED BUMP is like a three-headed serpent.

Twink, I heard three non-elimination legs before as well. Who knows. Goes to show how we didn't pay enough attention when Phil talks.
