I need to make myself a printout of the couples so I can keep the names straight! (Which is my way of saying, I'm here and waiting for it to come on so I can spoil!)

Teams being transported to Ampitheatre. Blake and Michelle. Michelle says she's the typical southern woman and Blake has them set up as him as the leader. He says he has a strong personality, etc., etc.

Danielle and ?? Say they will be focused on the race but they are still girls and they love boys.

BJ and Tyler. Looks like they had a goofy video. Say they'll do whatever they can to win.

Ray and Yolanda. Yolanda says Ray is the male version of herself. Ray tells us that he's from the hood. Went to law school so he can feel empowered. He thinks they are the group to beat physically.

John and Scott? Ack. I'm already bad at the names! They say they can do everything that is thrown at them.

Joseph and a girl... "Whatever it takes to win, is what we're going to do." The girl says he doesn't like to lose.

Eric and Jeremy: Friends from FL. They say they like the way they live.

Lisa and Joanie, sisters from Houston. They say they are glamazons. Glamour and Amazon combined. Looks like they are both tall.

Dang it. Barry and Fran? Married for 40 years. She says they know each other so well that they can read each other's faces. They say they won't play the grandparenty role, they are too competitive for that.

Wanda and Desiree. Mother and daughter from ATL. Mom says the challenge will be for her to let her daughter to be an individual. The mom says they are going to salsa their way to the pit stop.

David and Laurie. David says they are two of the biggest nerds you'll ever meet. Says he thinks it's one of their powers. She says being in love will help them because it'll help keep them from fighting, etc. (Uh oh.)

Jeff wonders if they can stand up to the challenge...

Here we are... Phil explaining to them, as usual. It will depend on their ability to work together as a team. 8 pit stops are elimination points. First clue waiting inside envelope on top of the luggage they brought with them. Have to run up the steps of the ampitheatre to the luggage...

And..... "Good luck. Travel Safe. GO!"

Off they go. Leaping from step to step, chair to chair.

Clue: Fly to San Paolo, Brazil. Clue on hotel rooftop. One of three flights only. Limited seats so first come first serve. off they go, putting on their backpacks and getting started. Someone already has attitude... maybe the people from the south? Blake and Michelle I think.

And off they go into the credits.

I already love those guys with the beards, they seem like they are going to have lots of fun.

Didn't it say you can't call ahead to reserve the tickets? RUT ROH Lake and his wife will be in trouble.

Ack. I need to move closer to the tv to see the names on the screen. Off they all go. The hippies are in first.

Dave and Lori in 7th place. Wanda and Desiree in 9th place. Lisa and Joni in last place.

Someone passes the hippies to get into first. All going 70 East. Yolanda and Ray have been dating for 5 years but long distance. This will be the longest they'll be together.

Jeremy and Eric get passed by two of the girls, not sure who that was? Danielle and Dani?

All in a rush to get to the airport first... Wanda and Desiree pass people and now moving up on others. All talking about the planes and where they are going.

Lisa and Joni wonder if they'll be able to tell we're tourists. They joke that they are representing all big boned women of America.

Michelle and Blake getting off the road and calling the 800 number to try and book tickets on American over the phone. (Is it Blake or Lake?)

FYI: They are all driving Mercedes.

Fran and Barry passing someone, oh Wanda and Desiree. They say they are not intimidated in any way.

Back to Lake and Michelle booking the American flight over the phone. Lake tells her that worked out great and tells her to give him a high five.

Bunch of them grabbing parking spots. Danielle and Dani on the shuttle and off. Everyone running for the shuttles. Looks like a bunch of them all on the same shuttle. Lisa and Joni on the same shuttle with someone else... they are going to Continental first?

Danielle and Dani booking with American... it arrives first so they book that one.

Lake and Michelle now realize that they were not allowed to book their flight over the phone and that they screwed up big time.

Everyone racing for the different airlines. A bunch of them at American now... Some were at Continental but realized American would be better. Eric and Jeremy decide to go to United to make sure they get on that one instead when the others don't make it. Danielle and Dani on American. BJ and Tyler trying for American and get tickets. Fran and Barry get on American.

Over at United there is a long line again. David and Lori kissing. Eric and Jeremy on United now. Lisa and Joni on Continental. John and Scott head over to United. Wanda and Desiree get on the United Flight. David and Lori also on that flight. John and Scott make it onto the United flight. That makes it sold out.

All the others get over to Continental, rushing over to it. Lake says they want seats in the front of the flight. Ray and Yolanda also on this flight. Joseph and Monica on this flight.

Phil goes over the flights with us... Phil says delays in connecting cities has changed arrival times.

Once they arrive they have to figure out where they are looking to go. I missed where it was (sorry!)

United flight arrives first. All off and on their way... Wanda saying she can communicate with them in Spanish and Portugese. Eric and Jeremy asking if the taxi driver saw others...John and Scott off in a cab as are David and Lori.

American flight finally arrives and they are all off. BJ and Tyler wondering if they lost their lead. They say they did learn some good Portugese phrases and they tell their driver to pass the other car and happy that he understands.

Last flight finally arrives. All grabbing taxis and getting off. Lisa and Joni are in last place in the race of cabs.

They are all arriving at Unique Hotel. They see the box. Wanda and Desirree get it first. Go by taxi to Viduto Santa Efigenia (3 miles in traffic logged streets).

Eric and Jeremy arrive just as John and Scott arrive. They pass W/D leaving. BJ/Ty arriving now too. Up at the top getting their clue. Haha. Jeremy and Eric can't pronounce it (they said it like I'd probably say it).

BJ/Ty on their way down now. Dave and Lori arriving at the hotel. People coming down stairs...somehow John and Scott lost their cab (I think the other girls took it??). BJ/Ty pass Jeremy and Eric. Fran and Barry get a taxi... Dave and Lori get a taxi now too (Sorry, I missed saying they had gotten the clue)

Danielle and Dani get the clue and back on their way again.

They are all arriving now... it's a bridge. They are all looking. John and Scott stuck in a cab and their driver doesn't seem to know where he's going.

Joseph and Monica off again. Lake and Michelle get their clue and are off - worried about Yolanda and Ray in their cab, Yolanda telling Ray to be nice, their driver knows where he is going.

Lisa and Joni arrive at the hotel again. Thanking their cab driver and off again. They joke about wanting to stay at the hotel.

Wanda and Desiree get clue. DETOUR. Forms of transportation. Motorhead: Travel 1 mile to motorcyle shop. Choose a frame, must finish assembling motorcycle. Rotorhead: 3 miles to airport, use flight directory locate one of three buildings, each building differ in distance and has only limited number of clues. Not physical but may be time consuming.

W/D decided to do Rotor Head.
BJ/Ty gonna decide when they get their taxi.
Jeremy/Eric going to do Motor Head?
Dave/Lori going to do Rotor Head
Fran/Barry looking for the clue box and not seeing it - they are walking right by it.

Back with Fran/Barry still not finding the box. And they walk by it one more time. They can't believe they keep missing it. They see girls off to get a taxi. BJ/Ty right behind them. Desiree tells Wanda to calm down and she admits she's flustered by the others being so close.

By/Ty are off as are Jeremy/Eric. Dave/Lori get in their cab and are off. Danielle and Dani off to look for the clue box again.. They pass Fran/Barry who say they can't find the clue box but they find it and decided to do the Rotor Head.

John/Scott frustrated in the cab. John wants to know if they should get out of the cab and just walk.

Wanda/Desiree pass the right entrance and have to go back to the right one.

BJ/Ty doing the Rotor Head. They find out they are at the wrong place.

Dave/Lori arrive at the airport - first to arrive. They get the pilot's handbook and looking up buildings. BJ/Ty arrive now as do Jeremy/Eric. All running to get the pilot's manual. All searching now.

BJ/Ty get their building and now trying to figure out what to do. Jeremy/Eric get their helicopter now Martinez flying Jeremy/Eric.

Off they all go. BJ/Ty very upbeat and excited.

Wanda/Desiree arrive now and see that there are already three teams now. They choose the first hotel they could find even though it's the farthest away. Off they go.

Fran/Barry still wandering back and forth and not finding it. Fran/Barry see the others get it and see it. Fran/Barry gonna do Motor Head. Monica and Joseph decide to do Rotor Head. Haha. Fran doesn't think the clue box was there before as they wonder how they kept missing it!

Lake/Michelle decide to do Motor Head. Lake yelling at Michelle for some reason?

John and Scott looking for where to go now. John telling Scott that he needs for Scott to come up with an idea or go with his. Lisa and Joni stuck in their cab, wondering what they should do. Talking about how people in San Paolo are used to this, etc.

Back to the Rotor Head people, on their way to their buildings. Arriving at buildings. Jeremy and Eric looking for marked clues now, they went down some stairs but don't see anything.

BJ/Ty arrive now and looking for marked clues. Jeremy/Eric find their. Travel by taxi, 5 miles, to Canata Cecilia and find warehouse - will witness a traditional ceremony, will light a white candle to get next clue. By/Ty get their clue too and are off. BJ/Ty say that Jeremy/Eric are good guys.

BJ says, "Dude is this the most James Bond thing you've ever done?" And they are off again too.

Dave/Lori landing and looking for clue. They get it and read the clue. Off to the helicopter and back they go again.

Wanda/Desiree on the way to their building. Enjoying the ride. They arrive and looking for clue. She finds it, read it and they are off again.

Joseph and Monica still trying to get their driver to go where they want.

Danielle and Dani having difficulty with the motorcycle. They decide to go do Rotor Head instead. Fran and Barry going inside now as Danielle and Dani leave. Then they decide maybe they should stay and see if Fran and Barry can do it... Fran now saying she isn't sure that they know what to do... Danielle and Dani decide to go to Rotor Head instead. They get a taxi and are off again.

Lake and Michelle are on their way. Lake yelling about something but I didn't hear what.

Lake grabs a frame and is working away. Barry asks if he can watch. Lake says he'll help them if they can't get it and tells Monica that it'll just be someone else to help them later.

Ray and Yolanda arrive and working on the motorcyle now. Guys still watching them all and laughing a bit... guys criticizing how they are doing it? Guys whistling at Yolanda and Ray turns to look at them.

Lisa & Joni decide to stop and get out. They get help from someone. John and Scott on the top of the bridge and get the clue. They decide to do Rotor Head. They pass Lisa and Joni. Happy now that they know someone else behind them. John can't believe he's going in a helicopter because he's afraid of flying.

John and Scott admit they'd like to help LIsa and Joni but this could be it so they can't. They decide to do Rotor Head. They get a taxi and are off.

Jeremy and Eric joking with their pilot about how many girls he must get being a pilot, etc. He says it's not true. Jeremy and Eric in a cab and off now.

BJ/Ty arrive and are off to look for cab.

Joseph/Monica arrive and BJ/Ty take their cab. Joseph wants the first one and Monica doesn't want that one because those are probably all gone. They go with the second one instead (where both BJ/Ty and Jere/Erc went). Dave/Lori and Wan/Des arriving back now. Dave/Lori get a taxi and are off. Wan/Des get a cab and are off.

Joseph and Monica arriving now, loving the ride. They follow the marked path and get a clue (Sorry, they ended up at the same place as Dave/Lori not the others.)

Barry and Fran still having trouble with the motor cycle. Meanwhile Lake is going a little crazy with Michelle, he's a bit hyper. Michelle asks him to calm down. He's having trouble with something. Outside, the guys are still oogling Yolanda and yelling things as she brings out a piece to Ray.

Lake's motorcycle starts and he promises to help Barry/Fran - he gives them some hints and they still aren't sure. Michelle tells the others not to give up now. Lake asks Ray if he has it and off they go to a taxi. Michelle tells him he did awesome. Fran/Barry stuck, fear this could be their downfall.
