I looked and all I see is a confusing message board. Could someone post a brief summary of the spoiler in the spoiler thread? Pretty please? :-)

The message board is very confusing.. I also stumbled upon TWO different predictions about who is going tonight so I'm not sure what to believe. I will go post in Spoiler Section.

LOL @ Sea. But hon? Ya forgot one thing... all the "baby"'s. You know... "yeah, baby!" and "go, baby!" and all? Almost as obnoxious, imo, as Gretchen's "oh my gawd!"

You are so funny, Costa.. I'm sitting here, haven't started watching TAR, but just thought that when I DO, I would be tallying Baby and some other phrases this week .. so stay tuned, tomorrow, at some point, I'll get to it.. well, maybe.. I have to go to a couple of banks, Curves and Red Cross (where, if my blood passes muster, I'll be for a couple of hours giving platelets, but I'll get to it..

The fever pitch all week was Romber disappearing into 4th place but the spoilers were wrong.

What I can't get out of my noggin is that L/A and Patrick said that they ostracized Romber at the begining of the race because they knew" them from Survivor. They didn't know them personally yet they decided to judge them based on that. Didn't Patrick and L/A see Allison and Donny in season 5? That was the race that kept TAR on TV. It was the time they had the first yield and they gave travel prizes in all but 4 episodes.

I suspect that the 3 of them may have spewed their dislike of them onto the other racers during pit stops and if others believed them all the more happy I am that they're gone. This is a race for money not a travel journey based on friendship.

I haven't seen bad behavior this season as I have in the past. The racers lost sight of the finish line because they focused their attention on Romber, "NOT" themselves.

It is not up to the racers to decide who is or is not in the race. They should be racing, not hating other racers. If we want TAR to remain on TV the producers will spark any interest for the audience they can into the show and the racers should deal with it or not apply.

R/A had people help them on 2 occasions that I saw because they were fans of Survivor but I saw them recognize Amber more than Rob. Every season certain racers have the ability to get others to help them. This is nothing new to TAR. Rob just asks them to stay with him while the others go from person to person. One time we watched as a team was given a police escort. Team Guido (season 1) charmed ticket agents, were accused of shoving another team, made terrible mistakes and were hated by the other racers. Season 2 had Will and Tara accuse Gary and Dave of cheating.I could go on and on about each season having problems with other teams.

I want to see season 20 so keep throwing any curves you want, I will still love TAR.

So I finally got to see the episode:

quoteJoyceUchennaMeredithGretchenRobAmberRonKelly
OMG141
God11
Gosh11
Dang/Damn1
Baby2154
Honey11
Amazing/Wonderful2
Beat11
Wow2
Fast/Hurry121111
Thank you/Thanks121101513
Airport11211


Many of Kelly's thankyous were of course for money given to them, and twice sarcastically to Ron.

When R/A and R/K were running near the beginning there was lots of "baby" talk and there was one I gave to Ron that might have been Rob.

For MsBat and anyone else who missed the previews for next week: (by the way they must have told the teams to dress color coded.. Rob and Amber are wearing red, Ron and Kelly in blue and Joyce and Uchenna in yellow)

Phil: "Next week, on the two hour finale of the Amazing Race, "

(we see a scene at an airport with Kelly in the foreground, Ron quite a bit behind her.. then they are sitting in a waiting area next to each other.. she's crying, he's glum. She says "I loved you"

Phil "Ron and Kelly's relationship hits bottom"

Ron (subtitle): I'm not ready to make that committment".

Kelly in closeup, still crying: "It breaks my heart".


Phil: "while Rob and Amber have a run-in with the law"

Shows Rob and Amber sitting in the back seat of a vehicle, looking glum. Man with vest market "POLICE" approaches the vehicle"

We hear Rob say "are you kidding me? That cop could have cost us a million bucks". Cop walks away from vehicle.


Then we see Joyce and Uchenna. Joyce grinning broadly. Joyce says "what was that?" and wee see a flat tire on their vehicle (large van) and hear Uchenna say "Flat tire". and then "UNbelIEVable!"

Van stops, Joyce looking at very flat tire


Phil: "and (unintelligible- sounds like a host step plate) for Uchenna and Joyce"

Then we see the driver with parts of a jack, maybe, Uchenna and Joyce stand with hands on hips and Joyce says "NO fricken' way"

Flash to an airport (we see American Airlines counter in background..) Rob and Amber (with backpacks) running away from camera, Rob ahead saying "this way, this way", and Amber clutching a clue or a ticket..

Then we see also in an airport area, Joyce and Uchenna, without backpacks, Joyce seems to be asking if they can please make a flight.. "can we please make it, can we.."

We see Rob and Amber inside a plane, grinning, (his hat now backward)

Then we see Joyce and Uchenna, she's got her head down to her hands saying "what are we gonna do".

Then we see Ron and Kelly in the back of a vehicle, he's got a bottle of water.

Ron says: "Lord help us be the first team"


Then we see running teams what may be Joyce in white ahead, with Uchenna way back from her, then Rob in red, with Amber beind in her black/red track suit and to the right up with Rob, Ron and Kelly sprinting and looking mightly long legged.. he's in blue, she's got her blue top around her waist.. all running toward a covered bridge..

Phil "As one of these three teams..

Then we see Ron jumping off a bridge, then Uchenna, then Rob and Amber jumping off a bank and she slides snd falls into a cane or bamboo platform or boat.. looks like a boat since there is a man with a pole

Phil "one million dollars"

Then we see the scene where Amber, in bathing suit, jumps on Rob's back on a running path, Rob saying,

"C'mom Baby! A Million bucks!"


"Phil as winners of the Amazing Race"

So all we know is it looks exciting ..

Julieboo, I missed seeing the context of the phrase, but wouldn't it mean the mat at the end, where Phil and a host from the country wait for the teams to step on it?

Sea, your list is too funny and is also interesting!
I bet the OMG's go down to Zero with no Gretchen next week.

Maybe next week you should add Million, I bet they all say that a lot

Very true.. Million it is!

I expected many more of the "fast" "go" commands but that seems to be less used in London, perhaps because there is the shared language AND rush hour traffic that isn't comprised of commandable beasts, children and people on foot or bike?

Rob has a nice count on the Thank yous.
He's playing the game, he's taking advantage of what ever opportunity he can to help he & Amber get ahead, but he doesn't forget to be polite.
