FYI- they just started 60 Minutes, so it looks like about 15 minutes late...

AHA! I have my VCR set to record for THREE hours! They will not escape me again!

However, let me hasten to say that The Owl was all set and ready to send me a tape to cover what I missed last week. You rock, Owl!

10:21 AM: Tammy/Victor departing. Fly 2000 miles to Thailand. Using picture as reference, they must find statue of giant gorilla (what they don't know is that the statue is at zoo). They are told where they should purchase their airplane tickets. Tammy/Victor are off. Tammy talks about how her family has always thought of Victor as the one who is right.

10:50 AM: Mike/Mel leaving. They are also told the travel agency is closer and they head off. Mike says they don't want to be so competitive and tunnel vision about the race that they don't have fun.

Tammy/Victor arrive at the travel agency and asking for tickets that will get them off the quickest. They are booking tickets on the first flight out.

11:02 AM: Kisha/Jen are off. They say they have a very competitive edge. They are also going to the travel agency.

11:03 AM: Margie/Luke head off. Margie says the race is exhausting. Says that sometimes she wishes she could take a rest.

11:04 AM: Jaime/Cara getting in their taxi and asking their driver if he has enough gas to get them to the airport. Jaime says patience is not her virtue. She says she gets tired of noise and people talking.

Mel/Mike at the travel agency. They say they want what Tammy/Victor got, laughing as they say it.

11:11 AM: Mark/Michael are off. They say they are at the end of the pack but they aren't that far at the end.

Kisha/Jen giving some money to kids outside their cab. Kisha says it is very hard to see the kids hungry and on the side of the road.

Margie/Luke at the travel agency now too and asking for the same tickets. Everyone arriving now, the only team not there yet is Jaime/Cara... Kisha/Jen say they assume they went to the airport directly.

All teams on the same flight. Margie/Luke say it's fine, it makes it kind of fun, big race.

Teams arriving in Phuket, Thailand and rushing for a taxi. Mark/Michael get one first with Jaime/Cara right behind them. Margie/Luke out too with Tammy/Victor in 5th place. Mel/Mike searching for a taxi.

Mel/Mike drive by... they say everyone is lost.

The others finding out the gorilla is at the zoo. Mel/Mike see them go the other way but decide to keep going where they're headed. Mike says everyone else seemed to be going the same direction in a herd. Says either they'll be ahead or behind.

Jaime/Cara find the statue and get their clue. Walk on the Wild Side. Picture taken with Tiger. Then take part in performance where they lay on the ground and let elephants walk over them. When they get done the zookeeper will give them the picture which is their next clue.

The folks at the zoo are searching for the tiger now. Mark/Michael find him first. They notice that the handler only has one arm and joke how they want to keep both their arms. The others arriving at the tiger station now. Kisha/Jen joke about how they figured if the tiger didn't bite them, it wouldn't eat them... since Mark/Michael are bite-size.

Back with Mel/Mike searching. Someone else repeats that it's at the zoo. The guy is certain it's at the zoo and they head off again. Mel says the beacon of luck didn't shine brightly on them today.

Jaime/Cara pass Mark/Michael and call them Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They say they are like characters from a cartoon movie. Mark/Michael think they can outrun everyone in a footrace.

At the shop now and both teams asking for drawers. Jaime/Cara getting testy here and yelling at the shopkeeper when he tells them to rotate in asking.

Mel/Mike at zoo and doing their tasks now. They guess that they are last.

Jaime/Cara and Mark/Michael still working. Kisha/Jen arrive now. Jaime/Cara annoyed that he's not going faster. Mark/Michael get a clue and Jaime/Cara can't believe it.

DETOUR. Two forms of physical labor: 100 Barrels or 2 Miles. 100 Barrels: Prepare fishing ship for 10 days at sea. Fill 47 barrels for enough water and then load on the ship.

2 Miles: Choose rickshaw (I know, spelling is wrong) and one will sit while the other pulls through city.

Mike says he likes everyone on the race... except for Jaime maybe, she's kind of a mean girl. Jaime/Cara finally get a clue and they decide to do 100 Barrels.

Mark/Michael arrive at their task and blowing up their tires now. They are put the pumps into the box to give the others more work. They finally head off.

Mike/Mel arrive at the herb shop. They are choosing boxes now.

Kisha/Jen arrive with Margie/Luke right behind them. They don't think it's the right place. Jaime/Cara ask their driver and he says he knows, they call Margie and Luke to follow them... it's actually the 2 Miles that he knows. They decide to switch to that. Kisha/Jen don't know what the others are doing.

Mark/Michael have their cab lead them to where they need to go.

Tammy/Victor says they can't have their driver lead them that they aren't allowed. They take off but don't realize they need to blow up their tires.

Mel/Mike finally get clue and head off to do 100 Barrels.

Tammy asking Victor if he wants to switch for a little bit and he says no.

Jaime/Cara asking people for where to go. Margie/Luke also asking where to go.

Kisha/Jen still stacking barrels.

Mel/Mike get to work as Kisha says she wishes she had seen the water a little earlier because they could have been killing two birds at one time.

Mark/Michael still waiting as we see the others still running. Tammy/Victor arriving at the park now. Jaime/Cara switching now. Tammy/Victor leave their vehicle and head off on the marked path. Margie/luke having trouble. Margie can't let Luke know that she was falling out. They finally switch because she couldn't get his attention from the back.

I hope they have a decent amount of time at this pit stop. She will be fine once she has water and a chance to cool down... but it can be exhausting to get overheated like that.

Adrenaline was probably keeping her going. Once she got to the pit stop, she knew she could relax. Scary for Luke though.

Awwwwww darnit.. I did figure that was going to happen, though. It's so hard to know how far they are behind time-wise.

Back with Margie at the mat. Phil coaching her to take deep breaths and get some oxygen in her body. They help her to some shade and are pouring some water on her head to cool her down. Margie tells Luke she is fine and she says, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Kisha/Jen finishing their barrels now. Mel/Mike only need 10 more barrels.

Kisha/Jen get their clue and head off. Mel/Mike almost done now.

Kisha sneezing. Kisha/Jen asking where they should go. They aren't sure where to go. They seem to be lost.

Mel/Mike finishing now and get their clue. They head off. They tell their driver to go fast.

Kisha/Jen still searching for where to go. They find someone who is taking them.

Mel/Mike urging their driver to go fast. Kisha/Jen freaking out now and worried about not getting there.

Editors playing with us here not showing us who is getting close.

Kisha/Jen arrive first. They are Team #5.

Mel/Mike are the last team to arrive and they have been eliminated from the race. They say they are sorry too... they high five Phil. Phil wants to know what is special about Mike and Mike says, "Keep it together, Dad." Mel says everything is special about him. He's smart, he's wise, he's mature. He says he has left something in the world that will make the world a better place. Mel says he loved it when his son thought he did good. Mike says he doesn't think they've ever really been teammates and that was a great gift the race gave them.

FYI: If any other East Coasters are about and willing to help out... I'll be on the West Coast during the next two episodes (April 12th and 19th) so I won't be able to spoil during those episodes.

You are the best Raen - I can do my random typing - no AR next week -

I havent really been bringing the spoilers over, since it just seems to be me posting! I have a lot of respect for those posters at Reality fan Forum - this week they were analyzing the shadows to determine that Mike and Mel were probably eliminated, and that at least one team must have had a penalty!

I'll post if I see any... just know there really are only speculations for F-4 and the discussion is that they (producers) have at least 5 teams go for the Final to throw off spoilers...

I still would like to have seen more info on Margie - next episode gave so little info (about Margie) for my curiosity!!

(and commercials for Big Brother auditions in the Chicago area were on - I have to roflol at dh's reaction!! LOL Bless his heart, he didnt tell me I couldnt, he just said I wasnt "mean" enough!! lol)
