Been waiting for this day since... since... last tuesday! Let's race!

Well let's see. Last week I picked Adam/Rebecca to be the team to exit the race. Way off there.

So here is my favorite list for episode 4. Probably a non-elimination leg.

1. Freddy/Kendra. These 2 are my favorites. I am moving them to the top for no good reason other than they are my favorites. I said last week I liked Freddy's level headed nature. Going to stick with it.
2. Kris/Jon. Final three pick for sure. Very steady players and a geography major to boot.
3. Hayden/Aaron. Not sure about these two. Sure, they have had two first place finishes. But I can see them imploding. Why? just a feeling.
4. Gus/Hera. Love these two. I think they can make the final three also. Good combination of experience and spirit. But that means K/J or H/A would have to experience elimination... we'll see.
5. Adam/Rebecca. Expecting these two to blow up at anytime. Could be this episode. But with a non-elim... who knows.
6. Jonathan/Victoria. Same goes for these two. Way too volatile for final three. Hoping they disappear soon.
7. Lori/Bolo. I gave these two much more credit then I now believe they deserve. I expect them to go out in the next 3 legs. Muscle/intelligence ratio is way out of balance.
8. Don/Mary Jean. If they had an amazing race for 60+ year olds I would never bet against these two. Love there attitude and spirit. Hoping they go further, but they will go in one of the next two elimination legs.

Oh yea. Continuing the Jonathan elimination chain here.. bye bye Jonathan

Last season they had three. All bunched up toward the end. I wish they'd put some toward the beginning of the season - mostly just to save Lena and sister. Three "nice" teams in a row is just too much for me... Now when the non-elim legs come up they will be saving folks like Jonathan and Bolo. Urgh!!!!!

Here we go....

Stolkholm, Sweden. Phil tells about the game yet again.

H/A leave at 2:04 AM. Make your way to Stolkholm's Town Hall Tower - clue at the top of the tower.

K/J leave at 2:05 AM

They are asking for directions to the tower. It doesn't open until 10. They say they are bummed out that they had this lead and now they've lost it. They decide to stay at the Sheraton with a wakeup call at 9.

G/H leaving at 3:06 AM

Missed the time when J/V are leaving but they've caught up with G/H and are asking directions. They are now going to the Sheraton as well but it doesn't look like they have a room, just sleeping in the lobby.

5:37 AM: A/R leaving... R telling camera that A didn't cut his own toenails when she met him. They find the townhall.... oops, it says the gate opens at 7AM!!

F/K leaving next, arrive at townhall. R commenting that no other teams are there and it's kind of bizarre. A wonders if they went to get some breakfast.

A/R and F/K get up the tower. Going to Dakar, Senegal in Africa. Next clue waiting just outside the airport.

They jump in taxis and head to the airport. K upset that F was willing to pay more money to take a taxi when the train would have been faster.

A/R doing Bolo impresssions.

B/L leave at 7:02, get a taxi to townhall tower.

D/MJ leaving now. Don saying they are rested and coming out of round 4 fighting.

G/H arrive at townhall, they realize they should have come earlier. J/V looking at the townhall and see people up there. They wonder how if it doesn't open until 10.

F/K at the airport, looking for the first flight. AirFrance via Paris to Dakar. A still wondering what happened to the other teams.

K/J and H/A trying to kill time as they were there so early and it doesn't open until 10.

J/V and L/B now getting their clues and off to the airport. D/MJ right behind them. D says they have been practicing stairs and he pants.

H/A now realize it is open and they admit they were stupid. J/K see them running and ask if it is open... they head off now. H/A and K/J decide to take train to the airport.

G/H arrive at airport. L/B right behind them. G/H are 3rd on AirFrance. L/B with them, are 4th on the flight as G buys the tickets for them.

K/J now think they are last (they are)

J/V checking for flights... they get on SAS, they hope others will be worried that they have an earlier flight, the flight takes off.

D/MJ arrive and get tickets on AirFrance I think. H/A are 6th on the AirFrance flight. J/V are 7th on AirFrance...

So, all 8 making their way to Dakar via Paris.

Scenes in Africa. Everyone racing out of the airport to the clue. J/V - Find out who wrote enclosed poem and make your way to author's grave. Leopold Senghor. Make the way to his grave and find next clue. They are all looking for taxi's to get to the cemetary... D/MJ get help from locals. R/A find out they need to go to BelAir.

J/V also find this out and J is looking for someone who speaks for English so they can get help to translate.

A/R get a taxi and R is asking if the driver knows where it is and says he doesn't look like it.

H/A also looking for who the author... They say it is mayhem and A can't believe it so far.

Everyone looks to be on their way so far... H/A not sure who wrote the poem and if they are going to the right cemetary. Their taxi driver stops somewhere and they have no idea what he is doing.

D/MJ trying to speed their driver up but they get a flat. F/K pass them and F says, "oh no."

Back to D/MJ with their flat tire. D says they need B to lift the car up. Cut to L/B urging their drive to go fast. Back to D/MJ helping driver change tire.

K/J arrive at a cemetary and don't think it is the right one. G/H in their cab. H says it is stressful and who knows where they are going. J/V upset now too.

People arriving now and realizing the cemetary is not open until 7:30 AM. F/K (I think that's who but not sure - hard to tell in the dark) fighting with cab driver because he wants more money for filling up the tires with air.

J/V talking to their translator and realize they are behind now. V telling him to hurry up. L/B get their clue.. make their way to beach village to Kayar. Search storefronts for carpenter shop. G/H get their clue and off too.

J/V in 4th with A/R in 3rd. Bolo and Lori's cab driver wants $60 and L refuses to pay that. She pays him $40 instead.

G/H arriving and paying their driver. D/MJ right behind talking about finding Africa fascinating.

Detour.. Stack 'em Up or Pull 'em up. J/V get their first. Two ways locals deal with fish. Carry enough baskets of fish to work area to cover table.

Pull 'em up. Choose a boat and cpt wil take them to fertile fishing area. Using traditional fishing gear to catch 4 fish.

G/H fishing. D/MJ feeling like the fish too. J/V doing the stack 'em up - Jon is handing out candy to the children?? V saying J wants children and she thinks he'd be a great father. He says he'd love kids and that they already have names picked out. (This is sorta surreal.)

J/V start stacking. F/K arrive and have trouble with their cab driver again, wanting more money.

H/A and F/K doing stack 'em up. A/R doing the same. L/B decide to do stack 'em as D/MJ and G/H set out in their boats.

F/K's driver following them, still upset about the money.

K/J now starting their stacking, asking if they are doing it right. The other teams all arriving at the stack' em now. K asks if the fish basket is heavy and he says yes, their driver is still sticking aroud asking for money.

J/V start bickering about how they are doing it. L/B also bickering a bit. H/A working hard.

D/MJ having trouble catching anything. D says he has had one bite but have not caught anything. G/H having trouble too and H is getting seasick. Says she never wants to go fishing again in her entire life.

G/H on the boat. Hera still feeling sick as G catches a fish. MJ catches 2 fish. She encourages D to try some more.

J/V get their clue. Travel by taxi more than 20 miles ot Lac Rose (completely pink lake). J/V urging taxi driver to go fast as their translator is along for this trip as well.

K/J are done and heading off. F/K are done now too, getting a taxi. H/A are also done. Back to the fishing boats... D is seasick now but MJ jokes that she's not supposed to talk about it. Hera catches another fish.

J/V arriving.. Roadblock. Who wants to bathe in rose water? Wade into pink lake and using traditional tools provided to harvest enough salt to fill up ... I missed the size of the basket. V yelling that he can not take any salt that has already been harvested.

L/B finish stacking and head to pink lake. A/R still finishing up, they think they are in nlast place.

D/MJ get another fish... as do G/H. Both have 3.

K/J look to be lost. F/K arriving... K is going to do it, she wants to know why the water is red...seems to think it might be blood. F wondering why he let K do this...

Hayden doing it for her team. A cheering her on...

K/J arrive next, Kris is going to do it. L/B arrive and Lori is going to do it. A/R arrive and A is going to do it.

K is working hard and J says, "Man she's hot! Kris is doing great and she looks even better doing it."

Lori putting the bucket on her head to carry it back in.. Kendra having trouble, the water is burning her eyes.

R yells at A to ask what the problem is and he yells that he can't see. J/V finish and get their clue.

Make their way 30 miles to Ile De Goree and search the streets for next pit stop. It used to be prison for slaves but now popular tourist spot. They leave.

A having trouble and, even though R is cheering him on, he yells at her to shut up.

K/J done now and making their way to pit stop.

G/H get their 4th fish and head back to get their clue. D throwing up as MJ gets their 4th fish. MJ says that every time D threw up, she caught fish.

They get their clue and are off to Lake Rose.

Bolo cheering L on and he tells camera that L is stronger than A. They get their clue and head off to pit stop.

H having trouble but she gets it and they head off to pit stop. In 4th place. A says that Kris kicked H's butt.

F/K get their clue as R says, "Unbelievable, he's a f-ing girl." She tells cam that it's backwards, he's the girl and she's the boy.

Commercial.

A having trouble but R urging him on... she thinks this will be last bucket but the guy says they need one more.

K/J stuck in a traffic jam and J says this is not good.

A/R finally finish and head off to pit stop. J/V also stuck in the traffic. K/J urge their driver to plow right through the traffic and he does. J saying they have the coolest driver.

Ahh, they have to take a ferry. F/K saying they'll be good if they can get to that first ferry.

G/H at lake now, with G doing the task. G misunderstands and H tries to get him torealize he can not take any of the already harvested salt off the boat.

K/J arrive and J/V arrive but their cab trunk is stuck shut. They hurry to make the first ferry but it is full. So, only K/J on the first ferry.

All others arriving for the 2nd ferry. D/MJ arriving at lake and MJ is going to do it because D is too sick. G and MJ working away as we see the people getting on the 2nd ferry.

A/R, L/B, H/A, F/K on the 2nd ferry. A/R fighting about how R was not being supportive while A was doing the road block. A threatens to jump off the boat and R says, "Awesome."

K/J arrive, asking locals if they've seen a flag. They arrive. They are team #1. They thank the girl for welcoming them.. they hug. They win a 7night cruise through western Caribbean.

G/H finish road block. G says he feels bad for MJ because it's a hard task. Don cheering her on...and getting choked up as he says he is so proud of her. She finishes and the locals all clap for her. They are last place and head off.

Ferry #2 arriving. J/V asking their translator where to go. J/V are team #2. They cheer.

L/B are team #3. H/A are team #4. F/K are team #5. A/R are team #6.

G/H also stuck in traffic. Hera worries that she doesn't know if they'll win a footrace if they end up on the same ferry as D/MJ. D/MJ arrive for ferry but miss the third ferry. MJ upset that they missed it, says she feels discouraged. D says it was a good day which is funny since it was probably their last day.

G/H lost looking for the pit stop... D/MJ getting off and are also lost. Not really showing who is going to be first here (of course)....

G/H are team #7. They look relieved.

D/MJ arrive now... they are the last team to arrive. Non-elimination leg, though! They are so happy and hug and kiss. D says MJ tastes salty. Phil takes all of their money and they will not be getting any for the next leg. D says he doesn't care what happens today, they are the oldest couple to get this far and he's proud.

So, final count for Wilson on Roadblock:

Women = 5 (Lori, Kris, MJ, Hayden, & Kendra)
Men = 3 (Jonathon, Adam, & Gus)

Next on race. A tribute to African slaves brings Gus to tears. A fight breaks out between Lori/Bolo and Hayden/Aaron.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I was so afraid for Don & Mary Jean!

I think I may just hate Freddy and Kendra more than Jonathan and Victoria for stiffing not one but TWO poor cab drivers.

When is there gonna be a penalty for that???

I still am not fond of Jonathan but I agree with Flamingo on F/K. I really thought that second driver was going to cause more of a fuss over the $10 they stiffed him. Or, at least, I thought they would have trouble getting another taxi to get to the pit stop.
