Howdy. I'm not sure when the site came back up but I was gone to dinner with friends from out of town so I wasn't here to ask someone else to spoil. I'm about to watch my tape of the show. Give me a holler if someone would like me to transcribe from that? It won't be "LIVE" but still might help those who miss the episode?

I'd like a short play by play if it's not too much trouble, Raen. They won't show it here until tomorrow night and I won't be here to see it because we are going out of town.

the hippies had some funny lines tonight! "BJ & Tyler in Arabia" and it was a hoot when they were mimicking Lake!

Phil reminds us of the last pit stop. Fortress of Rion. 11:54 PM: E/J depart. Fly to Muscat, Oman. Find giant incense burner to find next clue. They are reading clues to get to the charter bus to the airport. Have to cross bridge to get to two charter buses to the airport. Visitor center not open until 9AM. E/J on the first bus. 4:31 AM: Mo/Jo leave. 4:41 AM: Ry/Yo leave. Yo wants to make sure they are crossing the right bridge. (I think she was joking but I can't tell for sure.) They are bickering now as they walk to the bridge. Yo telling him to stop cussing at her and he flips her off. She wants to talk now and he says she can talk but he thought they were done talking. Mo/Jo arrive and sign up for first bus. Ry/Yo arrive and sign up for first bus 6:20 AM: F/B leave. They say they have the endurance. They are on the first bus. 8:51 AM: BJ/Ty leave. Running across the bridge now, happy to still be in the race. 9AM bus is boarding now. Everyone but BJ/Ty getting on the bus. They pass BJ/Ty crossing the bridge. BJ/Ty on the 10AM bus alone. Athens Airport. All getting off the bus and hurrying to get tickets. F/B find out quickest flight is Gulf Air and it connects. I think it arrives at 10:50 PM. F/B decide not to share the information but everyone is following them now. F/B getting tickets as others get in line behind them. E/J finding out what flight F/B are on. Barry says they are beyond the point of being the genial grandparents they were at the beginning. BJ/Ty are on the bus and saying that all the ghosts of their fallen commerades are on the bus with them. Pretending to be Lake now and having Lake telling them to tell them about the earliest flight. BJ/Ty arrive at airport. The others don't want them to know about the flight. BJ/Ty not believing that the others don't know what time the flight arrives in Muscat. BJ/Ty tell them what time it arrives, "I'm sure you already knew." Others all getting on that flight now. BJ/Ty going to look for other flights and find one that arrives an hour later. They go with that one? Maybe they didn't think they'd get the earlier flight? Both flights on their way now. MUSCAT, OMAN Flight 1 arrives at 10:50PM. E/J think this country is cool. All looking for the arrival parking lot. They get their cars. E/J out first. Mo/Jo, Ry/Yo, F/B all right behind them. E/J saying it is so clean and is by far the prettiest place they've been. The others saying that it's really pretty. Mo wondering what the different buildings are... Flight #2 arriving now. BJ/Ty getting help from someone, who is going to take them to the park. Off they go. E/J arrive at the park. They see it and find out the gates don't open until 6AM. Mo/Jo arrive and discover the same thing as do Ry/Yo. F/B parking and find out the same thing... as do BJ/Ty. BJ/Ty thank their guide. BJ/Ty happy to still be in the race. Everyone waiting now. Ry/Yo talking now. Yo goes back to him cussing her out and flipping her the bird. She explains she was teasing him and tells him not to talk to her for the rest of the time. Telling us now that they are seeing different sides of each other during this race and Yo says they haven't been communicating well at all.

Wow, I can't believe that even Fran and Barry wouldn't tell the hippies what time the flight left. It seems like such a little thing to get so stupid about and withhold from them. I think it stinks after the hippies have been so nice to everyone else.

Back with BJ still digging. Ty says that BJ is definitely giving it his best try. Ty yells some more encouragement and BJ finds it. They get it and clue. Ty tells him they are not far behind. He yells thank you in Arabic and Ty gives him a hug and tells him that he did so good. Off they go. Jo/Mo see a sign for where they are going. Worried about F/B being right behind them. F/B are watching the signs. E/J are taking a little shortcut. Ry/Yo going and Yo telling him where to go and Ry asking if s he's sure. Bickering a bit here. BJ/Ty say they've tried their best today and they'll make it. Mo/Jo and F/B hoping that they are going the right direction. Think it'll be a race to be first. Mo/Jo stopping to ask for directions. Mo says, "F/B are first." F/B arriving at the mat. Phil, "F/B you are team #1." They hug and kiss. They win a trip for two to Rome, Italy. Phil asks how good it feels and Fran says so good, they never dreamed they'd be number one. Jo/Mo arrive and are team #2. They are bummed to not be first. E/J seem to be lost. Ry/Yo arrive and are team #3. Yo says she guesses that is good, it's a relief. Phil asks if they are having a rough day and they say yes. They say more stuff here but I kinda missed it. E/J going back to the main road now and forgetting their short cut. BJ/Ty seem to be arriving and hoping the other teams have gotten lost. Both these teams think they are in last place. E/J arriving at the mat. Phil giving nothing away. E/J are team #4. Can't believe it. Phil asks if this is a little humbling. They say they thought they were doing well but you can't win them all. BJ/Ty arriving now. They are the last team to arrive. Non-elimination leg. Phil taking all their money. Will not get any at the start of the race. He takes all their other possessions. Phil asks if they'll fight to get back in it and they say they'll just be themselves, the possessions don't mean anything.

Digging is a task that is just pure luck. Remember the girl in Norway unrolling haybales.

Vsmart, I was recalling that task, too. I felt so bad for BJ and Tyler. To see all of the other teams come in and find one so quickly must have been demoralizing. But the hippies stayed positive. With the exception of Fran and Barry, the other teams were cranky about their placements. The hippies, though, were excited to still be in the race. I hope they win! And yes, the Lake impersonation was priceless. I also loved Tyler saying, "The Philiminator will not eliminate us." No matter how bad things get, they have fun.

I think this season has had entirely too many of the pure luck challenges. I like to see at least some sort of skill involved. I can take the luck challenges as a "Detour" option, but I definitely don't like them as a roadblock...and this is at least the second one we've seen as a roadblock. I don't remember so many challenges in past seasons depending on luck. Tonight, alone one of the Detour options and the roadblock were luck challenges.

The very sad part was that BJ and Tyler no longer have their stuff. This means no more frog hat or other wacky, fun stuff they had. Any bets on if any of the teams will help them out with cash... I am thinking not.

NEVER in the history of the race - and I have watched since the very beginning - have I been so happy to have a non-elim round!!

Tnt, you weren't the only one and I'm thinking BJ and Tyler might have had a pretty good idea it was a non-elim. Az, ITA about Fran and Barry and the way they do it is almost seems spiteful. I know they are worried about the age differences as far as strength goes, but they really bother me bit with how unreciprocating they can be. In a previous leg, BJ and Tyler wasted precious minutes (because I remember yelling at them to quit wasting those minutes) by stopping to hug Fran and Barry.

So, has any team that lost all their possessions in a non-elim won the race? I'm very worried about my favorite team.
