:conf: Happy TAR DAY!!! :conf:

IMPORTANT! Even though we are a spoiler board, we do NOT want to have the episode spoiled while it is airing.
 
This will be more important than ever this season since Canada will be airing ahead of us any week we have Sports delays.
 
SO!! If you are watching anything but an EST US feed, it is your responsibility to be sure you are not ahead of us if you want to post/update in this thread.  Other feeds may be way ahead of us.
 
SO PLEASE ** NO  OUTCOMES ** to be posted before the show is done airing East Coast time! 
 
Anyone breaking the rule is at BIG risk.  :browsie:
 
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!! :party:
 
 
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!! :wohoo:
 
LIVE STREAMING VIDEO links will be  HERE and will normally be put up about 20 minutes before show time.
 
Scheduling and delays will be posted HERE.
 
 
And you can entertain yourself with the weekly episode threads as well while you wait! **Spoilers**
 
 
 
Have FUN everyone and :tu for joining us!!

Looks like we will be facing significant delays tonight... watch the scheduling thread for details!

CANADIANS! That means NO/NONE/ZERO comments or spoilers until the show is/has aired EST.

ONE EXCEPTION is if you can utter the magic words: WE SAW NEOBIE!! :hearts:

Previously on The Amazing Race...

8 teams continued racing in Malaysia.

At the roadblock, Jessica got tons of blisters on her feet. The Afghanimals loved the nightlife at the Sky Bar and kept rocking at the detour. The cowboys became bartenders and won the leg.

Luke lost his cool, but it was Brenchel who needed a miracle... and got it with a non-elimination leg.

8 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next.

This ancient Hindu Shrine is now the Pit Start for this Leg.
Jet & Cord depart 1st at 2:26 P.M. off to Colombo, Sri Lanka! Dave & Connor follow them, talking about their Achilles tendon injury. Leo & Jamal then depart commenting as the Twinnies' motherland. :funny:

Caroline & Jennifer want to carry the Twinny vibe with them (meaning more fighting and bickering! :lala) and JJ and Globetrotters are following.

They end up on the same flight... w/o Margie & Lke and Brenchel.

Jet & Cord will depart 1st at 2:26 PM. Fly to Colombo, Sri Lanka. After arriving, they must find Gangaramaya Temple. Once they've been blessed, they will receive their next clue.

Dave & Connor depart 2nd at 3:13 PM. Last time, this was the leg they self-eliminated on. They don't have a plan to do that this time.

Leo & Jamal depart at 3:40 PM. "The twinnies' motherland." Their taxi driver tells them to get to the airport to get their tickets.

Jet & Cord arrive at a flight agency. The quickest flight is tonight and arrives at 12:00 midnight. It's a direct flight. There's another flight going through Singapore but it arrives at the same time. Cowboys decide to get direct flight.

Caroline & Jennifer depart at 4:10 PM.

Jessica & John depart at 4:12 PM.

Flight Time & Big Easy depart at 4:40 PM. They say they haven't got any luck for 1st this race.

Dave & Connor are on the same flight as the cowboys, departing at 11 PM. All teams are on the direct flight arriving at midnight.

Margie & Luke depart at 5:12 PM. Luke says he wants to get the money for his mom. Aw.

Brenchel depart at 6:08 PM.

Margie & Luke's taxi driver doesn't know where the travel agency is. They're going to go directly to the airport.

Brenchel arrive at the travel agency. They want to get on the same direct flight... but there are no more seats. Rachel says she'll take any flight. The other option is a transfer through Singapore. It's a 30 minute connection. Rachel is trying to convince the booking guy that they can make it.

Margie & Luke are at the airport. It's 10:15 PM. Margie asks to get on standby.

Brenchel are taking a huge risk. 30 minutes. :o

Margie & Luke are trying to see if they can get a connecting ticket through Singapore. Hey, look. Neobie trying to help. :waves: Margie & Luke decide to go on standby...

Brenchel are headed to Singapore.

10:35 PM: Margie & Luke still trying to get on the direct flight at 11 PM. The flight is full... so they won't get on unless some people don't show up.

Globes tell country singers that Brenchel still here. Word spreads that Brenchel are still here and taking the connection through Singapore.

Brenchel are running through the airport... Gate closing... Final call... They're running. Brendon drops something... Rachel: "We don't have time!!!"

Commercial.

I think Brenchel's gonzo this leg. This is exactly what happened to Chester and Ephraim last season! Flight with a tight connection = BAD NEWS in The Amazing Race.

I'm really liking this multiple-teamed flight drama! It has been missing for some while. Contests Neobie for making it on the show!

And we're back with Brenchel trying to make their connection... And they made it! :hearts:

Margie & Luke are checking for their standby... But they can't make it on...

Brenchel are the first ones to land in Colombo. :hearts: They get a taxi. Second flight lands shortly after. Teams getting in taxis.

Brenchel arrive at the temple... but the temple won't open until 5:45 AM. Globes tell Brenchel the only people who weren't on the direct flight were Margie & Luke and Brenchel. All teams high fiving and greeting Brenchel.

Margie & Luke finally get on a flight.

Temple opens. Teams are getting dressed in traditional clothing and getting their blessing.

Take a train to Galle and go to King Coconut Stand. All teams are proceeding to the train station, and all teams make it. Country singers say that they like being by the cowboys. Country singers say that one of their main goals this race was to be best friends with the cowboys. Flashback scene to the country girls fangirling over cowboys at the airport on leg 1, lol.

Gorgeous train ride.

Margie & Luke finally getting on their flight.

And teams are jumping off of the train and going on taxis. It's chaotic.
