Anyone breaking the rule is at risk of being banned.

And NO future spoilers either! And NO spoilers ever in the Contestant threads either.

Otherwise, come watch with us for the best weekly viewing party in town!!

We will have a LIVE streaming video posted every week we can find one. So if you are overseas or just on the West Coast and want to watch right away...please join us! You can follow along and PLEASE help update as the show unfolds! We hope everyone will join in the fun!!

Previously on The Amazing Race...

7 teams raced from Poland to Austria.

Afghanimals lied about using their U-Turn. Jason & Amy wanted to do the Fast Forward, but their hopes were blown away. After making a comeback at the roadblock, they found out that their cab was stolen by Tim & Marie. Jason & Amy and Tim & Marie had a confrontation at the pit stop. Travis & Nicole were team #1 after Travis' strong performance at the roadblock. Tim struggled at the roadblock, and Tim & Danny were eliminated.

6 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next... Marie: "A million dollars, or drinks with Jason & Amy after the show..."

WOAH WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THIS INTRO ARE YOU PEOPLE SEEING THIS?

Oh, so Elementary is based on Sherlock Holmes?... Starting anytime.

Previously on TAR

Afghanimals lied.
Jason and Amy lost the FF, got ripped off by Timarie, and confronted them on the mat.
Travis performed a good RB, and won the leg.
Tim hit all the wrong notes, ending the race for Tim and Danny.

6 teams remains, who will be eliminated next.
(Amy: A million dollars, drinks with Jamy after the race...)

THE INTRODUCTION CAPS CHANGED. WHOOHOO. (Or had it changed before already but I didn't realize until now?)

Nicole & Travis depart 1st at 12:03 PM. Fly to Abu Dhabi, UAE. When they land, proceed to Sheikh Zayed Mosque where they will receive their next clue. They're feeling good about leaving as team #1.

Nicky & Kim depart at 12:09 PM. They're proud of themselves for leaving in 2nd place.

Leo & Jamal depart at 12:10 PM. They're very excited. They say they have an advantage. They speak a little Arabic.

Tim & Marie depart at 12:23 PM. Marie's ok with taking the cab.

Jason & Amy depart at 12:28 PM. They're still frustrated over the cab.

Ally & Ashley depart at 1:00 PM. They're used to leaving in last place, lol. They hope that Leo & Jamal will be able to help them. And they pronounce Dhabi as Dubai, lol.

Leo & Jamal get a flight arriving in 5:50 AM with Australian Air. They get a kiss.

Nicky & Kim are stretching. LOL. Nicky & Kim start asking a bunch of questions to the counter lady, and Marie says they're so annoying.

Tim: "Guys don't fight for over 10 minutes."
Marie: "I don't fight for over 10 minutes."
Tim: "Because you're a dude."

Leo & Jamal get on the first flight, arriving at 5:50 AM. Every other team arrives at 6:00 AM.

Jobby · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2013, 07:57:55 PM »

This is Vienna Austria, known as the city of music.

Nicole and Travis will depart first at 12.03pm.

Teams will now fly to Abu Dhabi. Nicole and Travis feels good to be in first place.

Nicky and Kim at 12.09pm. Nicky and Kim are so proud of themselves.
Leo and Jamal at 12.10pm. They think they are going off to their motherland.
Tim and Marie at 12.23pm.
Jason and Amy at 12.28pm. The two teams talk about their cab ordeal.
Ally and Ashley at 1.00pm. Ally and Ashley know that they are the underdogs and they want to stick to Leo and Jamal.

(I may get some of the times wrong)

Leo and Jamal get the first flight. 5.50am, with a 10 minutes lead.

All the other teams get on the 6am flight.

Marie: We don't fight longer than 10 minutes.
Tim: That's because you are a dude.

All teams are now making their way to Abu Dhabi!

Leo and Jamal are first, to be in a cab and also at the airport!

The mosque is beautiful! The words said by the racers are very sincere and... amazing.

Leo & Jamal arrive at the mosque. It's huuuuuuuuuuuuge. It's so nice! Proceed to Irani Souk.

Jason & Amy and Ally & Ashley pass Leo & Jamal coming out of the mosque. Jason says he feels out of sorts in the mosque. Females have to wear something to cover their heads. Ally & Ashley really like the experience. Tim wants to continue the race in the mosque because Marie can't do a bunch of things in the mosque.

Nicole & Travis are the last to receive the clue.

Leo & Jamal get the next clue. Detour: Sort It Out or Sew It Up.

Sort It Out: Search through a bunch of dates. Using an example, they have to assemble an elaborate display.
Sew It Up: Assemble a traditional fishing net.

Leo & Jamal pick sort.

The other teams get their detour clue. Most teams do sort, except for Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis.

Jobby · « **Reply #21 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:03:44 PM »

Leo and Jamal reached the mosque and it's BREATHTAKING.

Leo and Jamal has currently in first place and has to go to Irani Souk. Jamy are second. Ally and Ashley are third.
Jason feels uneasy at the mosque.
Ally and Ashley are in third and they love it.
Nicky and Kim are in fourth and they appreciate the culture.
Nicky/Kim: Muslim people have a bad rep... I didn't catch it but OMG, that was such a <3 moment.

Tim and Marie in 5th, Nicole and Travis in 6th.

Leo and Jamal first to pick up Detour clue.

Sort it Out or Sew it Out.

Sort traditional desserts or deal with fishing nets.

Afghan wants to do SORT. Afghan feels really comfortable this leg.
They are struggling and didn't see the other table.

Nicole and Travis and Jamy doing the sewing task. They look like they are in the zone too.

Ally and Ashley reached SORT. Tim and Marie reached SORT too. Nicky and Kim are at SORT too.

Polaroid · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:05:53 PM »

Leo & Jamal arrive at sort. They start picking the dates. The display is really complicated. They miss an entire table full of dates...

Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis start at the nets.

Ally & Ashley arrive at sort. Tim & Marie arrive at sort. Nicky & Kim arrive too. Teams begin counting the dates.

Travis & Nicole and Jason complain about the heat.

Marie counts the dates... and leaves. Tim starts counting, but Marie says she's already counted them. Marie and Tim are arguing like crazy. Tim just starts looking around and lets Marie work on the display.

Tim is arguing with Marie. "You go look again." "No you go look again!"

Jason & Amy say they don't know how the other teams are doing.

Afghanimals say that Tim is a good guy. They think it's hot how Marie was manhandling Tim.

Tim & Marie are a total mess. Nicky & Kim say it's hard to focus because of Tim & Marie's arguing... Tim says that their arguing works...

Polaroid · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:07:20 PM »

Nicole didn't tie something correctly and Travis points it out. Jason & Amy are working very well. They didn't say much to each other, but it works. Travis just about finishes the base, but then he realizes Nicole tied something incorrectly. Travis feels like he's about to explode because of the heat and the detour and a bunch of things. Express Pass talk...

Commercial.

Jamy and ER Docs feeling the hit.

Tim: You are on fire already.
Tim and Marie fighting with each other barely 5 minutes into the task.
And they are still fighting. Ally and Ashley found it annoying.

Tim: This girl's has got serious serious serious mental problems.

Nicky and Kim shoo them. Nicky and Kim found Tim and Marie embarrasing as fellow Americans. <3

Jason and Amy doing well at the Detour and both of them worked flawlessly.

Nicole screwed up with two ties and they are hot, stressed and thinking of using the EP.

Polaroid · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:15:54 PM »

And we're back. Travis & Nicole decide not the use the EP because they're already so far along with the nets.

Back at sorting, Nicky & Kim are the only team that finds the 2nd table with more dates... They decide to not go over to the other table unless the other teams aren't looking. Leo & Jamal's display is rejected because they don't have the right dates. "I suck at dates!"

Leo & Jamal see Nicky & Kim's display and they see that they have the right dates... Leo & Jamal can't find the table. They ask Nicky & Kim about their dates. Nicky & Kim totally blow them off and they don't tell!

Travis is trying to fix Nicole's knots or something. Jason & Amy think they're done... AND IT'S APPROVED. Proceed to Al Bandar Marina. Once there, they will take a cruise to... somewhere (missed it) for their next clue.

Afghanimals finally figure out the extra table. Nicky & Kim are annoyed. Leo & Jamal finish the detour in 2nd. And now they make their annoying call noise.

Nicole apologizes to Travis for letting him down. They're done the detour in 3rd.

Ally & Ashley's display is rejected. Nicky & Kim's display is rejected. Tim & Marie finish the detour in 4th. For all their arguing, it actually works...

Ally & Ashley finish the detour in 5th. They get the title. Nicky & Kim look annoyed. They still don't have the right dates.

Polaroid · « **Reply #29 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:18:18 PM »

Afghanimals first to arrive at the yacht. Jason & Amy are running towards it... Jason & Amy make it on. Afghanimals say it's really beautiful.

Nicky & Kim are done the detour in last.

ER doctors are on the second yacht.

Ally & Ashley's cab is behind Tim & Marie's. Nicky & Kim think that they might be able to make it on the same yacht because each yacht leaves in 15 minutes. Marie is telling Tim to run faster. Ally & Ashley and Tim & Marie are on the yacht... Nicky & Kim have 3 minutes to make it... They're running... THEY BARELY MISS IT. Exes and ice hockey are laughing.

Commercial.

Nicole and Travis more inclining towards not using the Express Pass.

Nicky and Kim FOUND WHERE THE OTHER DATES WERE.

Oh my God! They were being sneaky about it! <3

Nicky and Kim refused to tell Afghanimals where the other dates were. OPEN YOUR EYES GUYS.

Travis arguing with Nicole and rattling on her on and on.

Jamy almost done!

Jason and Amy are the first at Detour WHOOHOO!
The other teams figured the other table out.
Leo and Jamal are in second place.
Nicole and Travis are in third place.

Ally and Ashley got it wrong.

Nicky and Kim still don't have the correct dates.

Tim and Marie got it right, FOURTH DETOUR.

The two all-female teams left.

Ally and Ashley are fifth. And they said the correct quotes.

Nicky and Kim are struggling with the Detour, WHAT? That was such a disappointment.

Leo and Jamal and Jason and Amy are the first ones and they LEFT! Omg, it might be these two teams fighting for first place this leg.

Nicky and Kim are in last place and finally completed Detour.

Nicole and Travis got their own boat in third place.

Timarie and Ice Crew girls got the 4th yatch

Nicky and Kim barely missed the yatch. By 1 minute. They are so last. At least a 15 mins wait. Eh oh

And we're back. Nicky & Kim will be 15 minutes behind ice hockey and exes.

First yacht arrives. Leo & Jamal get the 1st roadblock clue. "Who wants to drop in a hot lap?" Drop 200 feet off of a building and get into a racecar. While being driven around around the circuit, they have to keep their eyes out for the Abu Dhabi record holder and their time. When they deliver that information to the pit crew team, they will get the next clue.

Jason & Amy made an agreement at the beginning of the race that Amy would do everything with heights... And Jason has done everything with heights.

Leo and Jason are doing the roadblock. They're descending. They both land at around the same time.

Jason hates heights. Jason has to keep dropping off stuff. Don't complain. Do it quickly and win the leg!

Jason dropped. Leo dropped. They are neck in neck in first place.

Jason in the race car. Leo is first off though.

Jason is off as well, in 2nd place. Leo needs to go again. Jason needs to go again.

Nicky and Kim are in last and sorta panicking.

Leo got it. 1.40.279 Sebastian Vettel. Leo got it, FIRST ROADBLOCK.

Champions Podium is the PIT-STOP.

Jason got it wrong again. He got the name correct but the time wrong.

Travis at the Roadblock in third place.

Leo is the first one to get to go around the track. Jason is next. Their drivers are going super quickly and they're cutting corners, lol. There are a few signs and they're out of order so teams will have to pick out the lowest time.

Leo sees the time but he didn't get the name... Jason sees the first sign... And then he seems more signs. He only remembers the first sign, which is incorrect.

Nicky & Kim are on the last yacht.

Travis does the roadblock.

Leo gets the correct sign. Jason gets the right sign, but he remembers the time incorrectly. Leo finishes the roadblock in 1st. Pit stop: The Champions Podium at the race track. The last team to check in may be eliminated...

Jason tells the incorrect time to the pit stop crew.

Travis descends.

Leo & Jamal are team #1!!! Wow. They're so sweaty lol. They won a trip for 2 to Paris, France. They're super happy.

Jason finally gets it correct. He's done the roadblock.

Ally & Ashley and Tim & Marie arrive at the roadblock. Ally is very nervous. Marie is just doing it, lol. She reaches the bottom before Ally. And now Marie is in the racecar. Ally is in the racecar.

Jason & Amy are team #2... AGAIN. Jason: "We're the biggest losers on this show."

Travis spots all the signs on the first try, and he kept all the times in his head... He gets it on his first try! They're done the roadblock in 3rd. Travis: "Hey, can I keep the uniform?"

Marie sees the first sign and she thinks it's it... Then she sees more signs. Ally was looking for a name, but she forgot it while she was in the car. Marie's first try is incorrect. Ally basically has no clue what she's doing, lol.

Nicole & Travis are team #3. Nicole says she let them down. THEY'RE TEAM #3. CALM DOWN.

Ally doesn't get it right on her 2nd try.

Tim & Marie are team #4.

Lots of screaming from Kim when she's descending, lol. And now she's terrified of the race car too...

Hmmm no mention of the speed bump?

I noticed that too.

I think the Speedbump is now a given and they don't need to repeat it over and over (like the whole "A Detour is a choice between two tasks")

NoluckBoston · « **Reply #62 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:48:22 PM »

If the Speed Bump is still there, and a double U-turn. Those Bunnies are in trouble. Why not U-turn them too!

theschnauzers · « **Reply #63 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:48:30 PM »

Another Double U Turn ahead (in the next leg)

Or could there be a new NEL penalty?

Phil would have spent literally two minutes explaining it if there were a new NEL penalty, like how serious they were when they introduced the Speed Bump

then it became "This is a non-elimination leg oh there's a Speed Bump next leg yay okay" now they didn't even bother mentioning the Speed Bump

Loved this episode as well! This season is great!

The mosque was amazing!
Loved the Detour!
Loved the Roadblock!

And Bunnies surviving <3
Ice Girls still being in the bottom -_-

I didn't get to watch this episode sadly but judging from the commentary it seemed kind of boring... correct me or not?

Jobby · « **Reply #67 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:54:10 PM »

It was indeed quite boring, one side of the Detour was lame (I didn't even get why they had to sew nets), but the Roadblock was cool.

But what a boring pit-stop. -_- They didn't even bother to make them travel somewhere else.

WinTar · « **Reply #68 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:55:26 PM »

I didn't think it was boring, I enjoyed watching it actually.

The only letdown for me was the Pit Stop, didn't like it.

Wow this was a really detail oriented episode

but at the same time it was lacking something but I don't know what it was... I really thought Nicky&Kim could've pulled ahead of everyone at the detour but I guess they trying to keep hiding the toher dates distract them for actually pay attention to what they had in front of them...

Good Job Travis for getting the roadblock in the first try!

Poor Nicole getting worried about their placement in the detour...

Was this the first time in a leg that Ashley&Ally didn't get help from Leo&Jamal or another team? I was really hoping for Kim finishing before Ally at the roadblock... too bad it didn't happened and now the next leg looks like its gonna be a really hard one for Nicky&Kim specially... I wonder what happened at the mat that Phil forgot about the speed bump :S

I think the pitstop conceptually was great I mean how many times the race has finished a leg in a real winner's podium of a "real race" but because it was on the same building it was kind of boring because we didn't see the teams struggling to find it :/

Quoc Nghia · « **Reply #71 on:** November 10, 2013, 09:14:57 PM »

Jason & Amy: 2nd again.

And Bunnies survive again.

Hoping they will make to the end like Tim & Tim.

paradoxinee · « **Reply #72 on:** November 10, 2013, 09:16:43 PM »

I don't like the Sewing Detour. It's kinda boring but maybe because too much drama is in Sorting Detour

I don't like the Pit Stop.

And I don't like the Double U-turn next leg.
- They're still in the same country, I hope somehow everyone will be the same place again. If not, the last team (Bunnies) is so screwed.
- Moreover, the last team (Bunnies) might got Speedbump and because of that they might got U-turned too.

It's all about Derby Moms last season.

Leg 7 (Austria --> United Arab Emirates) Analysis
Abu Dhabi really brought out the best and worst of teams and it totaled to an interesting and challenging Leg. Having to go inside the Sheikh Zayed Mosque being was a great idea on the route designers' behalf. How people have to be gracious and polite and women required to dress in black covers when entering the holy site brought out some really unique cultural education. The yacht ferry wasn't exactly the best type of transportation, but I guess teams could stay well-groomed and clean on the way.

*pretending not to be jealous* The Pit Stop played a pun on race car terms, but I wish teams had to struggle to arrive on it like in the past. I'm pretty sure everyone is getting the sense of the annoying word, "budget", now.

DETOUR: Dates or Traps
I like how both Detour choices this time compensate for mistakes unlike the previous one in Austria. While the dates are on the intermediate level to arrange, a good eye is needed to spot the correct color of fruit to display. The fishing trap "weaving" is hands down time-consuming, but teams with dexterity could finish rather quickly. Just be careful for any inaccuracies. However, I feel these tasks were kind of boring even for the teams at that time, especially sewing a fishing net. Travis and Nicole didn't really seem too thrilled to do that task.
DETOUR SCORE: 8/10

ROADBLOCK: Rappel and Formula One Cars
The Roadblock this time was really awesome and I would have loved to ride in one of those race cars. Having to spot and memorize a full name and exact lap time is hard, but having only about one and a half second to remember what the board showed, yikes!
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 9/10

OTHER RANDOM SCORES:
TEAM DRAMA SCORE: 8/10
SOUNDTRACK USE SCORE: 7/10 (Surprisingly)
MARIE-BEING-A-BIG-BIT¢H SCORE: 11/10
PIT STOP SCORE: 4/10
MOSQUE-CALMING-POWER SCORE: 10/10

Of course Leo and Jamal would win a trip to "the city of love"

Jobby · « **Reply #75 on:** November 10, 2013, 09:50:47 PM »

Oh, and definitely, highlight was the mosque, to which I'm even surprised Jason feels intimidated and Tim and Marie wants to run.

Even though Ally and Ashley are really mediocre performers.. (same as Nicky and Kim), what I really liked about them is at least they are appreciative of their surroundings... and it's what I want to see from every team. That happened in Poland, where everyone visited the homes of the residents and they were just so delightful and happy about it.

Like this leg better than the last one

The Mosque was AMAZING!!!! Literally!!!!

I don't really get the detour ...
The one with the dates was fine but the other one? what's the objective on that other side of the detour with the nets and what, knitting???

The Roadblock was good...
I wasn't really satisfied though. Not what I expected.
And what's with that repelling in the beginning?

The most disappointment for me was the Pit-Stop! WTF was that?
They were in freakin' Abu Dhabi. Tons of high buildings, beautiful Mosques.
Pit-stop on top of the tallest building would make a breath-taking view!
Or that mosque in the beginning should have been the pit-stop!!!

Overall, the leg was fine. It was somehow a little too straight forward.

Bunnies were saved by another No Elimination Leg

'

Ass-animals won the leg

Tracole's having a breakdown? you were in freakin 3rd chillax a little!

Jamy tallied another 2nd. Got tired of it so just please win the final leg!!!!

The IceGirls' best placement yet ...

I guess 5th wasn't so bad

Funny quote :
Tim : "Dudes only fight like 10 minutes"
Marie : "I fight for 10 minutes"
Tim : " Yeah that's because you're a DUDE!"

Looking forward to Al Ain!!! W-TURN ahead!!!!
Will the Bunines received a speed bump? Cause Phil didn't say anything about a speed bump?

Anthonyctf · « **Reply #79 on:** November 11, 2013, 03:19:01 AM »

May be the Bunnies were not speed-bumped because of production error?

It is kind of weird that the "mistakes" of the Bunnies in the dates detour were not being mentioned unlike the other teams who missed the furthest table. Remember Nicky & Vikki in TAR 17??

I was wondering how did they fall so far behind too. They look like a detailed oriented team to me. But the vehicle riding thingy in the sand next leg seems so Speedbumpish to me?

At the Roadblock, Travis gave the incorrect answer.
He said 1:44.279 instead of the correct one, 1:40.279

Even though it wouldn't have made that much difference, it could've still caused some change in placements (which to me is very important).

paradoxinee · « **Reply #82 on:** November 11, 2013, 06:39:12 AM »

I think because every one is 1:40:... so the judge only care about that ... thing.

Platrium · « **Reply #83 on:** November 11, 2013, 06:40:32 AM »

The leg was good!

It was surprisingly better than the last one (for me).
-The mosque was amazing and beautiful.

-The detour was okay-good.
-The roadblock was really nice.

-At first, I thought the pit stop was "okay"

, but when I realized that they're in freakin' Abu Dhabi, why didn't they have some other place as a pit stop. I say, if they need to take a cab to their pit stop (if it were a little far), we would've seen a better suspense between Ice Girls and Bunnies.

I was expecting that... if the pit stop wasn't that "boring."
-At least a team who hasn't won a leg won this one. I would be happier if it were the Bunnies.
-Jamy got another 2nd. I have to disagree with Jason. They aren't the biggest losers. IMHO, I say it's the Ice Girls. They've only gotten 6th and 7th, and recently, 5th. -_-
-If the ER docs used their EP, they would've probably won the leg. Just like the Twinnies if they used theirs in their 7th leg.
-The drama on the exes

, I like seeing the other teams talking about their point of view on the exes' detour fight in their confessionals.
-I guess the Ice Girls aren't getting out 5th.

All the other teams are a lot stronger than them.

No. I listened to it 5 times and I'm sure he said 1.40.279.

Leo & Jamal are the winners...

Jason & Amy 2th position...

They must win one Leg... or the Race.

I have a really hard problem because I really love Travis & Nicole and Jason & Amy... and only can win one team.

Bunnies... I love them even more each leg we see.

I heard 1:40 POINT 279 but according to the insider video he tried at least 2 times before getting the right answer

I love every team left ＜333333 No idea who I am rooting for most. Leo & Jamal are just so playful, Jason & Amy is that likeable front packer team, Nicole & Travis are very good at this race in a respectable and entertaining manner, plus Nicole has the way with her expressions (my favorite is the one when she smiled at the polka dancing Detour

), Tim & Marie is that lovably arguing team, Ally & Ashley are fun to watch and I do feel they keep open minds, and Nicky & Kim are just the underdogs you wanna root for because they have the capability of keeping up with the others. Plus, no killjoys or annoying alliances or unlikable teams. ^^ I admit, at the start I wasn’t as hyped up as past seasons, but this really picked up for me recently.
