She's a competitor so I am sure they will do well. He has to have some competitiveness in him to if he is dating her.

According to the 2003 Bloomsburg football roster http://www.bloomu.edu/sports/fb03/fb03roster.shtml Donny is 6-3. And I never heard Ali being unclear on the height difference when comparisons between Donny and Justin were made during BB4.

Donny may have shot up a bit in height since a year ago too. Many young men of that age are still growing.

I knew it!!! I saw how competitive and athletic Allison was on BB last year and I knew she would do well on AR. Yuck! I may have to keep my promise I made to myself when I first learned that she was going to be on this show -- I won't watch it until she is gone. By the way, have any of you heard the part of the commercial where she says, "I'm going to freak out!" And he says, "You are such an embarsassment." Don't you think he would have learned his lesson after watching her behavior on BB? I don't feel the least bit sorry for him any more. So there!

The TV Guide article this week with features on all the teams has a potential spoiler...it says that either Jim or Marsha get hurt, and need about 2 dozen stitches...

I posted on the pre-show chit-chat my sons encounter with two of the teams in downtown Vancouver. They went zooming by in a real hurry (of course)going towards Gastown which is a very touristy part of Vancouver. As my elder son pointed out, they were probably aiming for the Steam Clock which is a real landmark and actually probably the only landmark in that part of town. Thanks Pamy for jogging my memory about this spoiler thread, so now I can tell you which teams they saw. I showed them the pictures and they say Marshall and Lance and Chip and Kim. I would guess it was very near the end of the race. We don't know what placement they were in, so unable to tell if these were the leaders or not.

11 Teams Begin Their Voyage In A Race Around The World When The Amazing Race 5 Returns With A Special 90 Minute Broadcast Tuesday, July 6 (9:30-11:00 PM) on CBS. In the premiere episode, 11 diverse teams of two set off on the first leg of the race starting at the famous Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles and quickly making their way to Uruguay. A medical emergency has one team racing to catch their flight, while tensions ensue among other teams after a team holds up the line at the ticket counter in order to honor an early alliance. Once in Uruguay, two teams battle to avoid elimination after not completing the challenge correctly.

HI Ginger!!!! I am thinking the injured team may not lose this round because of the 2 teams that do a challenge wrong.

Hi, back at cha, Pamy!!! I copied this from another site. If Jim has 25 stitches but they wait until the end and everybody has arrived before announcing 2 teams did the challenge right, what you say makes a lot of sense! Quoted from another site: "TV Guide says that Jim had 25 stitches to close a cut - that is obviously the "medical emergency." Even if they make the 2nd flight to BA, they will be struggling to keep up with the challenges, due to Jims injury. Can't see them going far at all. Too bad, because they seem like a team you could root for (based on the bio info put up)."

I am thinking that the Vancouver sighting was fairly early in the race because I just don't see Marshall and Lance going very far. I will not be surprised to see Jim and Marsha go out early either. Age seems to always be a major factor in the game -

I just realized my last post didn't make sense. I meant to say if everybody has arrived before they announce 2 teams didn't do the challenge right. Also, maybe Jim and Marsha use the Fast Forward........ Either way, we will know soon!

Reader - Probably the greatest compliment I have ever received! My best friend and I would be the most amazing team to ever hit this show! We have been best friends for 53 years, so we pretty well have the elements worked out! Both of us are well-traveled and love challenges! Unfortunately I could never pass the required physical as I have two "compromised heart valves." Compromised means they don't work very well - so I will enjoy this race and hopefully others from the sidelines, knowing that Paula and I could have kicked some serious @$$

I have a little spoiler for you about Ali. But if you didn't want to know then you better wait until the show is over. OK!! Here's a spoiler news: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alison's BB4 Chat transcript (jokersupdates.com) 6/6/04 "Donny is now my ex." "Donny is an ex, he and I broke up." That's what she said. It did happen a few months after TAR game.

Entertainment Tonight did a piece on the show, and they showed a few spoilers..... -Jim is the one who needs stiches (he's also the one who falls right at the start)......they ifnd out at the airport leaving for the first location that he needs them, and that he may not even be allowed to fly. -one of the options of the Detour seems to be carrying huge slabs of raw beef,because we see Charla and Mirna carrying them (wearing protective clothing--it's probably a Detour because they're both carrying them, so it can't be a Roadblock)

Could the slabs of beef be fast forward? I hope not because I like that team and hope they don't need to take// or waste the ff in the first episode. == My paper today seems to verify several points made above: In the opener; the teams scramble to fly from Californai to Uruguay. Then they dash about the South American country before the last-place team is dismised inh the first ejection. The early standouts are Charla and Mirna.. "lugging a 55-lb side of beef" The show shrewdly plays up the tension as a bloodied knee jeopardizes the journey of Vietnam Vet Jim McCoy and daughter Marsha. The teams don't always play nic, but they're not hideously nasty either. You quickly latch on to favorites; pay close ttention to the cheerful bowling moms.

OK.. so some discrepancy between the spoilers from Auckland vs from Vancouver, but here is my analysis (such as it is): 6 teams arrived at Auckland International Airport on February 21st. Including the KE823 from Korea, a Singapore Airlines flight, and an Air New Zealand flight from either Hong Kong or Singapore. 1. At approximately 11am, The first team arrived. It was a male/Female team. She had long blonde hair, and he was taller than her (no more details known about these 2) I did not get to see them, But they were spotted by a friend. They were leading the pack. They got out of customs between 11:30 and 11:55 am. This can only be either Ali/Donny or Dennis/Erika cannot determine which team from these clues. If Donny is 6'3" he is definitely taller tha Ali, but in the group pic on the CBS.com site Dennis is standing next to Erika and even leaning over her, he's tall, as tall as Chip, though not as bulky. Erika's hair is long and blond, a bit longer than Ali, in fact. She is also shorter than Ali. 2. At approximately 12pm the second team arrived. ANOTHER male/ female team. She was slightly taller than her male companion. She had just below shoulder length mousy brown hair. Nice tan. VERY beautiful. Black short shorts and a black tank top. He was slightly built, with a semi mullet haircut (Not really a mullet) and he had a southern accent. They were filmed talking to a worker, and he had to sign a release form to allow his face to appear on TV. She wanted to go to the toilet. The cameraman followed her. He got directions from the worker (I think) (Brandon/Nicole(but see below.. Brandon matches that desc curly hair but also from Texas!) Colin/Christie from Texas, thus the accent and he seems to have lived mostly in Texas, where Brandon has lived in other cities, might have dropped the accent? I think this has to be Colin/Christie. In the group picture all four are down in the fround row, but Colin looks more slight and short, Brandon definitely looks taller and not slight. Also Brandon matches the description of another pair arriving later. Both guys could have "southern accents" being from Texas, but from the bio, Colin has lived mostly in TX, whereas Brandon lived in "other cities". Also Colin has a "different" hairstyle that could be considered a mullet but not a mullet.. 3. About an hour later team 3 arrived. An african American couple. They were both wearing blue bandanas I think. They left pretty quickly. He was of quite a large build, she was rather small, but very pretty with long black hair. Chip/Kim only couple matching this desc and matches it well, too.. description matches them to a T on the group pic too. 4. Team 4 arrived not long after- They reminded me so much of Zach and Flo, even though I didn't really hear them say anything. They were a bit panicky "Where'd they go? Where are the others?" They asked a few people if they had seen anyone with a camera crew...of course everyone said yes. He was tall with blond curly hair and she was short, with long brown hair. Brandon/Nicole. only male female couple with male with curly hair. Has to be them. He's tall. 5. Team number 5 ran right through the arrivals doors. They were major panicking. Two pretty much identical twin girls. Think Kelly Goldsmith, but thinner. There was a guy running around them, I don't know if he was a crew member or what, but he kept darting everywhere they were and it made me think he was one of the team members. But I'm sure he was just a crew member. Kammi/Karli only twins, blonde.. 6. The final team to arrive were the soccer moms. It was a nice change considering all the teams beforehand were young male/female couples. They were really really nice. One even asked ME how to drive through roundabouts (In NZ we drive on the elft hand side of the road and go through roundabouts in a clockwise direction) They seemed sort of athletic. Well, they were your average soccer moms. One had a short blonde bob ( I even heard her name! It was Karen!!!!) and the other had shoulder length brown hair. By the time they arrive, 2.5 hours after the first team, the location camera crew had gone, and it was only their personal camera crew they were waiting for. They got directions from an older guy (A pacific Islander) while waiting for their camera crew who were in quarantine. He gave them the wrong directions. Once they had left, the young worker guy informed the Pacific Island man that he had given them the wrong directions, and the PI guy ran out of the terminal to tell them the right way. They were really, really, really sweet, and I hope they don’t get eliminated tonight or tommorow, whenever the next elimination is, because they left the best impression on me. Even the proucers and crew that were there seemed to really like them. Linda/Karen bowling moms has to be them And that’s that. The location camera crew left for rotorua immediately after the twins arrived. Apparently they almost had an accident (them or the team in front of them) A few teams went the wrong way, probably not the soccer moms because they were given the RIGHT directions after being given the run around. This is all I can think of at this moment. If I think of anything else, I will post it. Oh yeah, I’ll match the contestants with their pics when they are released --------- In Vancouver we have Chip and Kim again and Marshall and Lance (it would be hard for anyone else to be confused with them) So, perhaps we know the last SEVEN teams from this..
