Oh, mighty Mods, I assume we should just continue to make these threads in the main Amazing Race IX folder?


(Just checking since we usually put them in the General Discussion folder in the other show areas but that is a thread here rather than a folder.)

I'm not sure why the producers thought it necessary to include a Jonathan wannabe on this show.

I think Lake. Or maybe they decided to take turns, that way they'd be sure to get lots of camera time?

Did I miss something? Why did Yolanda have to dive? Why couldn't her boyfriend do it?

Fran/Barry finally off as Bus#1 arrives at airport.

Bj/Ty go to Luftansa to see what their earliest flight. They get a tickets on that flight. Looks like all the other teams all have tickets on the same flight.

Bus #2 arriving now and getting tickets on the Luftansa flight. Lake/Michelle at the counter now and have tickets. Fran/Barry arrive and trying for tickets on Luftansa and they are on the same flight.

So, all teams on the same flight and on their way to Frankfurt where they'll connect to Moscow. Danielle gets help from a lady on the plane with her Russian and telling E/J as well.

All arriving and off to get taxi. BJ/Ty are off quickly. Fran/Barry right behidn them. All grabbing taxis. Some sharing taxis to help save money.

Bj/Ty arrive and the clue. ROADBLOCK. Who wants to take the plunge? Must face the conditions Russia's high divers face during winter training. Must change into suit? Jump into pool, swim across and dive for clue.

Barry doing it. Yolanda going to do it but she can't swim/she's afraid of water?! Ray wanted her to do it because he did the last one.

I missed who is doing it for BJ/Ty but he jumped off the highest one. He does it and gets clue. Must travel by taxi, 3 miles to... crap, I missed the name. They must find Cathedral for clue.

Lake/Mich arrive and Lake is going to do it. Danielle doing it. I missed which of E/J is doing it. Mo is doing it for Joseph and Lori is doing it for D/L. Wanda/Desiree arriving now... Wanda agrees to take plunge.

Barry up there now and jumps. He's trying to dive down for the clue now as BJ/Ty are off. Barry gets his clue and they are off.

Ray/Yo off now. Yolanda has to jump now and Ray yelling encouragement as is Michelle. She is scared though and doesn't awnt to do it. Everyone cheering for her now. She jumps and is back up. She gets clue and Ray gives her a hug. They are in 3rd place. Others yelling that she is a good girl.

Lake is off and gets clue and is out. Eric did it for them and they are off. Danielle jumps and comes back up with her clue. Yolanda still changing as they grab their taxi.

Lake/Michelle are off. Michelle tells Lake he looked good in his speedo.

E/J wait for Dani/Danielle and off they go.

Mo jumps and Jo helps her out and off they go.

Lori up next, jumps off and grabs clue. Off they go.

Wanda/Desiree are up next. Wanda jumps but she didn't grab clue. Wanda is afraid of deep water and doesn't want to dive for the clue. Desiree assures her that she can do it but she can't make herself do it. Desiree trying to calm her down.

How stupid is this? They know they are at a swimming pool, they know that members of their team can't swim or are afraid of water and the clue says, 'who wants to take the plunge?' and they pick the person who can't swim/is afraid of water! Good grief.

Saggkl: You didn't miss anything. I think her boyfriend wanted to split the ROADBLOCKs evenly between them and that's why he said she had to do it. Maybe he doesn't realize that they need to play to their strengths on these or maybe he didn't want to waste this one on him? I'm not sure but, if she was so afraid, he should have been the one to do it. Imagine if she couldn't have done it, it could have cost them lots of time.

How did Fran and Barry get ahead? I was working and missed it.

Never mind, just read above that all were on the same plane.

2_yorkies, they just had good luck of getting on the same plane as the others and then being one of the first teams off and into a cab.

Last season they each had to do 6 tasks to keep the stronger team member from doing all the tasks. When Chip and Kim won Kim only did one task the entire season. They changed the rules after that.

Back with Wanda/Desiree. Desiree talking Wanda into diving down. She makes it a little way and then says she can't do it. Desiree isn't sure what to do at this point.

BJ/Ty arriving and asking for the Cathedral. They find it and get clue. They enjoy the sights before reading their clue. DETOUR.

SCRUB: Travel to trolley depot and wash entire trolley inside and out. Once driver is satisifed, they get clue.

SCOUR: Travel to theater and search through thousands of Russian nesting dolls to find clue... relies on luck and could take a long time.

BJ/Ty decide to SCRUB.

Fran/Barry's driver misses the monastery and they have to go around block.

Ray/Yo arrive and so do Lake/Mich. Danielle/Dani realize they have lost their bag with their clues in it and have the cab pull over so they can go back and get it. E/J continue without them but feel bad about leaving them.

E/J, Fran/Barry arriving. All looking for Cathedral. All arriving together and getting clue.

Lake/Michelle do SCRUB.
E/J do SCRUB.
Barry wants to do SCRUB.
Ray/Yo wants to do SCRUB.

All off now. E/J driver having trouble with what to do and they tell him to go whichever one is closer and aren't sure what he's doing.

Dani/Danielle on their way back now as Wanda keeps having trouble with diving. Others trying to help her now. Cheering her on and she finally gets the clue. All the guys standing around clap for her. Desiree teary eyed and proud of her mother. Wanda/Desiree see Dani/Danielle getting back and have hope. Dani/Danielle get their bag and are off again.

Jo/Mo and D/L arrive and find the clue. They both decide to do SCRUB.

BJ/Ty driver is lost so they stop to ask people for directions but not finding anything. Fran/Barry's driver arrives and he knows where the theater is so they go back to do that. BJ/Ty decide to go to the theater too.

Haha. ALL of them arriving at the theater. Ray/Yo and Lake/Michelle at the theater. All working away. E/J also at the theater. All realize that they were following each other and were trying to go to the trolley park.

Jo/Mo and D/L lost now trying to find the trolley park.

Wanda/Desiree decide to try SCRUB. They are off to the trolley park. Dani/Danielle arrive at Monastery and get clue. They decide to do SCRUB.

They get a taxi and he doesn't know nwhere the trolley park is so they look for another cab. They wonder why they have this problem every week.

Danielle/Dani still trying to get a cab. They get one and he knows where the trolley park is located.

Back at the theater, all having trouble finding anything. Jeremy finds one and he won't show them what it looks like. Ray/Yolanda find one I think?

Take a taxi to ... I missed where. I think Lake/Michelle find one before Ray/Yolanda. They think it was way quicker than the car wash.

Mo/Jo and D/L still stuck in their cab and getting frustrated. Haha. Wanda/Desiree's driver knew exactly where to go as did Dani/Danielle's and they are both rushing now to get started. They note that all of them are filthy. They pick one and looking for water. Dani/Danielle getting started now. Both cleaning away.

Fran/Barry arriving at theater. Yolanda likes one part of the music and Ray tells her another team has arrived. Fran/Barry start looking now. Fran having trouble opening nesting doll. Yolanda asking what size the others found theirs in? Ray/Yolanda find one and are off. Barry notes that it's all the way down at the bottom in the littlest one. BJ/Ty arrive and asking which way they go to get to theater. Ray notes tha tobviously people are getting lost.

Fran/Barry still looking as are BJ/Ty. Fran thinks they could have had two trolleys lost already.

Mo/Jo and D/L finally arrive and find the trolley park. They run off and get to work. The other teams happy to see they are just arriving and realize they are still in the running.

All working away. Wanda/Desiree asking for check and are told no. They keep working.

BJ/Ty still working and BJ finds one. Off they go, in 4th place. They tell Fran/Barry it's in the smallest one and Fran says if it's not in that one, they'll just give up. Barry says it's impossible.

E/J arrive and looking for Red Square now. Ahh, this is the pit stop (I should have known from the time, huh?). Lake/Michelle out and running too. All looking for Phil and the mat.

E/J not finding Phil. Lake/Michelle see Phil... now E/J see it.

Ahh, the editors tricked me!! E/J are the first team to arrive. Phil tells them they are still racing and hands them the next clue. As they walk away, Jeremy says, "OH MAN."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Next time: Fran/Barry struggle through DETOUR while E/J have a smashing good time. Wanda/Desiree lose patience with each other and teams get the ride of their life on the Roll of Death.
