This season is going by fast, for me...I can't believe they've already eliminated so many teams.

5th Pit Stop.

BJ/Ty leaving at 2:29 AM. Drive 135 miles to Catania. Search for ruins of 2000 yr old ampitheatre to find next clue. BJ/Ty think this is more their game than the frat guys' because they have done a lot of traveling, etc. They stop to pet a dog by their car as they head out.

They look on map and see it's on the opposite end of the island. Off they go. Having trouble pronouncing the name of the town.

4:11 AM, E/J are off. E/J say it's no fun when they are all together and the hippies just run happily behind them. (Because they don't get upset that they are behind that is...)

5:00 AM, Mo/Jo off again, Mo having trouble with all the words on the clue card. Jo says he is happy with her. Mo/Jo looking for someone to get directions. They get a guy with a map and he gives it to them. Mo gives him a hug and off they go. Jo noting that he's amazed by these countries that you can feel safe stopping someone at 6AM, says he would never do that in USA.

5:18 AM, F/B are off. F looking at a map and off they go. They are happy they know where they are going and don't have to stop for directions.

BJ/Ty in Catania and following taxi driver to find where they need to go. They park and find out it doesn't open until 8:30AM. They joke about hanging up a sign that says "Team Order" - They do it and laugh about whether it looks official or not.

6:06AM, Mi/Lk are off. Temporarily halt when Lake thinks they haven't been given all their money and Mi shows him where it is. Off they go. Lk complaining about not getting enough sleep.

6:25AM, L/D are off. Dave admits he was frustrated with Lori in the last leg and doesn't want to do that again. Off they go.

6:34AM, Ry/Yo are off. Yo says she understands more why she loves Ry. Says he has an incredible strength of character. Ry laughing as she explains how she gets choked up.

Ry/Yo stop to get directions and off they go again.

Catania, Sicily. E/J arriving now. They arrive and see BJ/Ty sleeping in their car. BJ/Ty laughing as E/J sign the sheet. E/J figuring it out now as BJ/Ty know exactly what they are saying... saying it in the car. E/J laughing at BJ/Ty now. One says, "It looks so official."

Mo/Jo getting a taxi driver to lead them. F/B looking for where to go. Not having much luck with a street name. Now they seem lost and Barry thinks they are screwed now and Fran telling him to calm down.

Opens up and off they go. E/J find clue box first. Count the heads on the fence posts. Search for groundskeeper. If they have correct number, they'll get the next clue.

Off they go to count. Yelling out numbers as they pass each other. Off they go to find groundskeeper. BJ/Ty both counted 41 as did E/J. Both get clues.

DETOUR. Big Fish or Little Fish. Big Fish: Street vendor pick up 32 lb swordfish, must navigate 1/3 of a mile to market. Find local fish vendor and get clue.

Little Fish: Go to market, take over a store and sell 4 kilos of small fish. After selling all, they'll get clue.

BJ/Ty and E/J both decide to do Big Fish.

F/B still lost and upset about it. Barry getting frustrated.

Jo/Mo off to find groundskeeper and get clue. Off they go. They decide to do BIG FISH. Mo making sure she can carry 30 lbs.

F/B manage to sell some, not sure how much? Mo/Jo still searching for where to go and not sure. Mo getting upset again as Jo starts to leave her. Jo/Mo yelling at each other now. Mo says she can't carry it anymore and it's the worst thing she's ever done.

See the Survivor folks tomorrow and the rest of you next week.

I really thought it would be a nonelimination round. Seems like they've had one by now previously.

Heck! I totally forgot TAR was on earlier tonight! Duh!

And I just turned on the TV and found 'em. Sheesh, I'm a dork!

At any rate, I can tell you right now... Lake and Michelle are driving me nuts. Aside from the fact that their accents sound like nails scraping a chalkboard, do they EVER shut up??? Gaaa!

I thought this would be a non-elim, too. Lovely. That means they will end up stacking up a couple of 'em practically back to back.

I *think* they did have a non elimination round already. I want to say Fran & Barry were the "saved" ones, but then again, for some reason, I think they were just ahead of the "save". Anyone know fer sure?

There hasn't been a nonelimination round (if the definition of a non-elimination round is one where they come to the pit stop and are pronounced as the final team and have all their possessions taken away)...there has been one two-week round but I don't think that would be considered a non-elimination round because there was only one pit stop (even though the racers met Phil at the mat in Red Square he just gave them another clue).

The non-elimination round will be when Lake & Michelle are last at the pit stop - our joy at the thought of them being eliminated will be shortlived when we find out it's a non-elim round, and we will have to experience the pleasure of their bickering for yet another week, with a twist - no money and no extra clothes. And we think they're nasty now.

Raenstorm....
blond that I am, I recorded TAR, decided to rewind it and watch during commercials of AI, Unamimous and Top Chef. But then Natalee Holloway news was on Greta so I hit record and recorded over TAR. (yes the blond is from a bottle but some does seep in!) Thank you so much for your recap of the show, felt like I got to see it. TYTYTY!!
