Even though we are a spoiler board, we do NOT want to have the episode spoiled while it is airing.
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 in this thread. Canadian and Asian satellite feeds are often way ahead of us.
SO PLEASE ** NO WIKI UPDATES or Satellite Viewer updates** to be posted before the show is done airing East Coast time! Anyone breaking the rule is at risk of being banned.
Otherwise, come watch with us for the best weekly viewing party in town!! :party:
I hope to have a live steam or at least links posted HERE (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23401.new.html#new). For those who are not on the East Coast time, you can follow along and PLEASE help update as the show unfolds! Everyone is more than welcomed and appreciated!! :wohoo:
-
What? Nobody has commented so far?
I guess there is no delay today?
-
kwando, there's a NFL overrun in progress right now. Once we find out how long it is, someone will post about it. And of course, it's an hour later this week because of the end of daylight savings time in the US overnight. (GMT - 4 is now GMT -5.)
-
so, 60 minutes just begun in the feed.
-
Yeah we have almost another hour before the Race starts in the US. Probably 56 minutes at this point.
I love my Raiders.....
-
So, any spec on what Rooney's going to talk about?
-
Irrelevant things that I really don't care about? Isn't that what Andy always talks about?
Legitimately. I think he will talk about the Midterms. Maybe.
-
The delay will be to 9:06 pm EST.
-
ooh, no Rooney
-
Geee I love football delays when I work!! JUST made it!! :hearts:
-
If you are in Canada...DO NOT spoil us!! :jumpy:

Closed Circus.
No more GODDAMNED RELEASE TIMES. I HATE that.
Made dash for Detour clue. Jill & THomas first for clue, lets see how that last.
Circus Band - Circus Clown
Spin 10 plates 10 seconds.
Acordian learn to play.
-
Most all teams pick Clowns.
All racers get nose jobs.
-
Nat & Kat, Gary & Mallory picked Music.
Nick doesn't like Clowns. Clowns are scarry.
-
Michael & Kevin would get to Nine and go to hell.
-
Detour of course has lots of clowns and noise to distract.
THomas decides to switch to music, since they are so close.
-
Detour: Brook & Claire
1st to complete
Clue: Time to solve a russian mystery. What the mystery is I don't know as the sound just gave out.
-
Nat & Kat apply numeric codes to the notes to finish 2nd.
-
Thomas discovers that there is multiple parts on the music. Chad & Stephanie switch to Guitar Hero. Nick & Vicki complete in 3rd.
-
Nick seems to really not like the three parts of the song, but at least (so far) he hasn't been an ass about it.
Gary & Mallory finish in 4th find the garden guarded by 4 creatures with golden wings.
Teams must find clues to find Church of spilled blood.
Brook & Claire, Nat & Kat.
Must walk to next clue, but can get directions.
Michael & Kevin screw up by getting cab to lead them.
Michael & Kevin in 5th.
-
Thats the error, and thats a penalty down the road.. Yikes.
Chad & Stephanie and Jill & Thomas still at task.
Thomas says (low key) that this is a nightmare and he is losing his mind.
I beat that double bald snark.
-
Uh-oh. Michael & Kevin shouldn't have gotten that taxi to lead them. This might eliminate them.
Belle Book
-
OMG am I going to have to count this as a general task???? G-Man, start thinking...
-
Thats the error, and thats a penalty down the road.. Yikes.
Chad & Stephanie and Jill & Thomas still at task.
Thomas says (low key) that this is a nightmare and he is losing his mind.
I beat that double bald snark.
They were probably regretting using their Express Pass so soon...
-
Belle
Remember multiple teams make that same mistake (I think), and they do have a lead, but I am thinking that we will have teams waitin.
Thomas switches back.
And OMG
I am beating that the speedbump either occurred after the circus or that it happened before the circus.
Chad & Stephanie finish detour in next to last.
-
Nick & Vicki catch up to Nat & Kat and of course cab lead Michael & Kevin.
In last Jill & Thomas finish detour.
-
Nat & Kat work with team dumb, OK what did they do wrong. Because we here the music of the dumb...
Jill & THomas 6th to next clue. Brook & Claire are now 4th to get to the section.
-
Team dumb, discovers the miniture clue. Go team dumb.
-
mistake after mistake after mistake...penalties galore ftw!
-
Kevin and Claire nearly go off of what Nick tells them instead of finding the miniature. Brook & Claire and Michael & Kevin take cabs.
Everyone is looking for marked flags. Chad & Stephanie in last place.
-
Nat & Kat and Nicki & Vicki find their next clue which is a riddle about Peter the great.
-
Asking bus driver for clue.
Nat & Kat and Nick & Vicki go to their original cabs.
Chad & Stephanie finally find the tower. Way back in last.
-
Nick & Vicki can't find a cab.
-
Nick ranting a little about listening to Vicki.
Claire finds that they should have not taking cabs, and go back.
-
THis should save them a penalty. Thanks to going back to walk, thus no time gained.
And clearly the speed bump has been edited out of this episode, ok TARCON we have a question...
-
Well, at least Brook & Claire realized the error they made in time. Poor Michael & Kevin didn't -- but luckily for them, Chad & Stephanie are still way behind.
Belle Book
-
They did not show the speed bump? :ascared
-
And clearly the speed bump has been edited out of this episode, ok TARCON we have a question...
Maybe not, it could be before the RB or just before the Pit Stop
-
And Chad & Stephanie just took a taxi. They're out!
Belle Book
-
Stephanie can't find the clue, so goes back down for Chad to try.
Cab has taking them back, Chad finds it really cute. Chad laughs about finding it so quick, and Stephanie really is pissed.
RB. Nat & Kat 1st.
Lets watch Phil's fall to the ground. Using Wooden bat two attempts to knock it down. Move to the next one. Three total.
Nick & Vicki finally get cab.
Gary & Mallory and Jill & THomas get clue to Peter the Great work together.
Brook & Claire back to where they can get cabs.
Kat is finished with 2nd set. Michael & Kevin RB in 2nd. Michael goes.
Brook & Claire in 3rd. Brook does it.
Kat still working on third. Well so much for that NAt & Kat enter the Fortress to find the it Stop.
THe last team gets the boot.
-
I didn't notice that Chad & Stephanie took a cab.
Jill & Thomas get a cab. Followed by Gary & Mallory.
Nat & Kat: There's Phil
Team Number One: You when a head of lamb, enjoy.
$5,000 grand each.
-
Brook completes 1, Michael still hasn't.
-
She starts dancing, I hate it when people ham it up for the camera!! Brook gets the 2nd. Michael still at the first. Kevin really getting frustrated.
Brook in 2nd.
-
Kevin: Hopefully well get down before another team shows up.
And of course RB Nick & Vicki and Chad & Stephanie.
Nick does it, as well as Stephanie
Nick gets one.
Nick completes two.
Jill & Thomas arrive 2nd to last. THomas Let me do this, I am doing this.
-
Nick finishes RB in 3rd on way to Pit Stop.
Brook & Claire You are team #2, make way for Nick & Vicki as team number 3.
-
Gary & Mallory arrive last. Gary does it.
Thomas completes 2nd.
Gary finishes 1, Stephanie and Michael still at none.
Oh wait, Michael finishes 1, then Stephanie.
-
Thomas finishes in 4th.
Gary finish in 5th.
Gary & Mallory team #4, Jill and THomas had to go back for their bags.
Michael gets the 2nd on the first try. Stephanie does #2. Michael does #3, head to Pit Stop. And a what should be a huge penalty.
Jill & Thomas have trouble paying cab. Michael & Kevin also have trouble paying.
-
What a mess of an episode, for several teams.
-
OK...what happened to the Speedbump?
-
Jill & Thomas should be okay.
Michael & Kevin are in trouble, but --
So are Chad & Stephanie. One of those two teams will be out. I hope it's Chad & Stephanie.
Belle Book
-
Cab drivers are holding the bags to get paid. Teams should know in advance that cabs are expensive in Russia.
I assume that the penalties should be different because they took cabs for different lengths of time. But didn't something similar happen in All Stars??
-
Although the last two teams will both have penalties, I think the difference in times will be too much for Michael/Kevin to overcome. Hope I'm wrong though.
-
Michael & Kevin took a cab for two sections they shouldn't have. Chad & Stephanie only one section, shouldn't that be two different penalties?
-
No Speed Bump ?
-
Michael & Kevin took a cab for two sections they shouldn't have. Chad & Stephanie only one section, shouldn't that be two different penalties?
Probably Michael & Kevin will get 30 min for when they hired the cab to guide them + 30 min +advantage for the part Brook & Claire corrected, with Chad & Steph only getting the latter.
-
wow!

No Speed Bump ?
Had to be edited out. Probably before Circus, with how easily they caught up.
Jill & THomas use American Currency to pay up. Kevin argues that they have to be released they are last. Use 40 US to finally get past.
Jill & THomas team #5
Stephanie gets third, they leave without their bags. Idiots. But I understand why.
Chad & Stepahnie
Yikes, tehy haven't paid their cab. they have to go back pay cab before checking in. IDIOTS.
Michael & Kevin. Rule Breakers....Following Cab, and taking a cab. Thirty minutes each. One hour penalty.
Chad & Stephanie are still hustling.
-
Chad & Stephanie
Rule Breakers.
30 minute penalty. Michael & Kevin are still waiting. They are team number 6 and still in the race.
-
Kevin & Michael get to check in, they are eliminated. Theres the door. Exit stage left.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
michael and kevin :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Even with that, I hold that all teams should actually watch the damn show before. And how many times in Russia has cash been an issue with cabs. Seriously.
-
Oh well, at least Nick & Vicki improved a lot
-
Preview didn't lie... Rare but does happen.
-
Looks like Michael & Kevin had more than 30 minutes to go into their penalty. If they'd gotten the first of those three pins done sooner, they'd still be in the Race. Of course, if they'd also paid more attention to the clues, they'd still be in the Race.
Belle Book
-
Clearly check in this is Nick & Vicki's best, but they also really nailed the Norway leg, but without check in times no real reference point.
Didn't mean to type plural.
-
Well be very curious to get the speedbump confirmed as when it occurred.
-
Clearly check in this is Nick & Vicki's best, but they also really nailed the Norway legs, but without check in times no real reference point.
Except the little FF mishap.
-
Next Chad & Stephanie sleep in (do they miss their flight I would laugh my ass off)....and Mallory prays, because that always works.
-
im sry but im js so sad michael and kevin got eliminated :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-

Not that leg, the sled leg, wasn't that in Norway?

Worked for Mel & Mike
-
When did Mel & Mike sleep in?
I know several teams have going all the way back to the Gutless Grannies
-
When we have outdoor check-in with a sunny day, so I bet Chateau can work his magic on the approximate check-in times.
-

Sledding was the Sweden detour (with the tents).

I meant the praying thing
-
Mel "prayed" and got a wind shift when they were hang gliding in Bavaria.
-
So, today we learned two things:
1. The white sheet of paper is important even if it's not colorful.
2. Sometimes Asian child should listen to Asian dad.
-

Yeah, but for prayers I still always think of Brandon & Nicole.
-
I loved this episode,
but man- I get so mad when teams don't read the clues. How many times have we seen this. Kevin and dad should have known this too.
Sad.
-
No matter how things are edited for broadcast, the rules every Racer should remember doesn't change. I found the rushed, not-to-take-the time to read behavior baffling. Not to mention the obviousness of the model of the church sitting right there under their noses.
Amazing. And not in a good way.
I think every team made on-air mistakes this week, ones that could have led to their elimination. The tasks have not been easy this season, and production has done a good job in making almost all the detour tasks equally hard. Two music tasks on consecutive legs? Wow. And the alternatives weren't any easier this week or last.
But Michael and Kevin have struggled to make it to leg 7, and truthfully, that's further than I thought they would get. While I'll have the placement averages up tomorrow, it's fair to say that 5 of the 6 teams are fairly evenly matched, and the other team made up ground this week. The rest of the season looks as if it will be hard to predict who will prevail.
-
I'm watching it just right now, and for the first 8 minutes, I felt really confused and overwhelmed. I don't know why. :'(
-
Done.
I'd like to commend how the race planners have created super dynamic tasks this season, both hard and not-so-but-will-screw-teams-up tasks. Great job, the Detour was a tough cookie!
I would also tell that I love the "easter eggs" (I mean extras and mini-stuff in the background) like the circus people. They were entertaining. This season, "easter eggs" were fun (the dancing lady, the bears, the stuttering person, and the clowns). Good job planners!
You've asked it (and complained for it), now you get it. The riddles are back! I love it!
The teams were also great, but I've already discussed about it in previous comments, so let's move on.
The suspense was amazing! Ever-shuffling placements and mistakes plus skills in tasks makes the race really really hard to predict. Kudos!
But the problem I saw in this ep was that what I posted above. I got confused and overwhelmed at the same time during the Pitstart -> Detour. It was all-over the place, I guess, and I was distracted a lot, IMO. But after that, it was smooth. :tup:
Annnnnndddd Oman! Self-Driving! This season is one of the best indeed! :hearts:
-
This was one dramatic leg indeed. The constant shuffling in positions, the frustrations at the Detour, the mistakes teams made, the stress at the Roadblock, and the penalties that ultimately sent Michael and Kevin home. This leg was really exciting.
Nat and Kat continue to impress me. We would have thought that only musical people could complete the accordion Detour. But they did it systematically, and pulled ahead. I was really amazed. One thing I really admire about them is that they're meticulous, and always cool, calm and collected. This is gonna be so beneficial on the race. I really hope that they win this season!
I was bummed when Michael and Kevin and Brook and Claire decided to take the cab to the tower. I was like... Nooooo read your clue!!! Well thankfully Brook and Claire did, and rectified their mistake. Speaking of that, I am utterly amazed by their performance. They lost time looking for the tower, and wasted quite a bit of time going back to the tower and walking to the destination. But they still finished the leg in second place! It was negligence on their part that they didn't read the clue carefully, but I still give them props for being incredibly fast and catching up to everyone.
Nick and Vicki, third place! Their best placing ever. They really rocked at the Detour and Roadblock. They might be clueless sometimes, but there's no denying that they do have some skills that other teams don't. But whatever happened to the Speed Bump? My guess is that it took place before the circus Detour, didn't affect their placing, hence was edited out. Or it could have been some other production error... Hmm.
I'm glad Gary and Mallory are still in the race. After two weeks of speculation that they'd be booted, it's kinda a miracle they're still in here, but I don't care, I'm happy. I still love them to bits, and Mallory totally rocked at the Roadblock. Musical girl!
Well, the drama at the end. The Roadblock didn't kill Michael and Kevin, the penalties did. Come on... Haven't these guys learnt enough from the race that they have to ALWAYS scrutinise their clue carefully? It sucks to be out because of penalties. Chad and Stephanie were lucky that they only committed an error and that there were Michael and Kevin who made more critical mistakes than them. Heh.
And there go all three all-male teams, out before the Final 6. Wow...
-

First of all, Mallory did not do the RB. Second, the RB was not about music. But I think you meant Detour there. :lol:
I'm afraid the Speed Bump controversy's gonna be the rough water this season (because the CBS is gonna explain against an angry and confused mob, which may have been cleared if they took just 15 seconds or less in explaining things out)

Yes I meant the Detour! Oops, my bad...
Yeah, they really should have said something about the Speed Bump and not left this question hanging for the viewers. They can't think that we forgot about Nick and Vicki's Speed Bump! Geez.
-
I think this is the first season the first 5 teams eliminated are all same gender teams.
M/M, F/F, M/M, F/F, M/M :ascared
TAR's first!
This leg is one hell of a leg. I really thought that TAR usually gets EXTREMELY BORING when you reach the middle legs where people generally don't remember them. Especially if this is a Final 7 leg. Remember how the Final 7 legs used to be so boring and dull? (Aja and Ty, TAR 13?? lol)
I guess the "WALK TO THE NEXT LOCATION" clue is still the clue that kills really. 14 seasons ago it killed Heather and Eve, 14 seasons later, teams still don't learn. Giving loads of credit to Brooke and Claire, for realizing their mistake and returning back to rectify their mistake and still come in second. But giving even MORE credit to Nat and Kat, for completing the ENTIRE leg without any fatal errors. And TAR 17 is just amazing, two all-female teams owning the race. Even Charla and Mirna and Dustin and Kandice didn't do so well in Allstars. Guess this is an Amazing Race first again! The all-female teams won 5/7 legs so far?! WTH?! :lol:
I loved the fact that Nick and Vicki are third, but highly suspect that they would have taken a cab had it not been them working together with Nat and Kat. :lol: But way to go! I'm liking this team more and more, even if they had to lie to get ahead. There's something about this team that i just can't help but to want to root for them.
And i'm shocked to realize this, but i'm actually rooting for Chad and Stephanie now?! This two quarrel all the time and they somehow managed to patch back so quickly and then sometimes, they work so well together.. but at times they fumble like no tomorrow. They complement each other and you might say that they're getting through each leg Dandrew style.. but they're still in this race! I'm liking them more and more each day. And i seriously thought they could be the one team i dislike most in this race. Turns out they're really a cute couple! :lol: :lol:
And then we have Jill and Thomas.. Jill is, nice. But Thomas is just...
SCENARIO:
THOMAS: WE HAVE A TASK. I'M DOING THIS.
JILL: OKAY
THOMAS: OMG WE CAN'T DO IT.
JILL: WHAT?
THOMAS: LET'S SWITCH.
JILL: WHATEVER.
THOMAS: OMG I CAN'T DO THIS EITHER.
JILL: BUT I'M DOING FINE.
THOMAS: LET'S GO BACK TO THE OTHER TASK.
JILL: FINE.
THOMAS: WE CAN DO THIS. LET'S WORK TOGETHER.
JILL: :res:
You get my point. How is working together ever counted as you just deciding everything for the team? That is probably why Jill and Thomas aren't getting much fans anywhere. You have such awesome personalities on the race, then you get these two who's neither here nor there. No doubt they race fairly good and always manages to catch up.. but i'm not a fan. Maybe one day i'll be, like how i'm liking Chad and Stephanie now. :lol:
AND WE HAVE GARY AND MALLORY. FREAKING HELL. EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ELIMINATED. THEY STARTED ROADBLOCK LAST, THEN GARY NAILED IT AND POOF, THEY CHECKED IN 4TH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? OMG. I LOVE GARY AND MALLORY!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol3:
I like Kevin and Michael, they're nice chaps. But seriously, Kevin is really rude at times. And amazing isn't it? They didn't get eliminated because Papa didn't do the RB well. They got eliminated because Kevin didn't read the clue properly. Not that it's entirely his fault, as Michael could have mis-read it too. But Kevin could have made the difference by reading the clue properly. They should have been gone on the third leg, and went on to race for another 4 legs.. i guess that's really a good NEL present. I just hoped that both of them won a leg before they got eliminated. Could have made this two happier. :tup:
LOVED THE DETOUR. Really like the clues this leg. (What's up with all the riddles?! They're AWESOME!!!)
And the Roadblock, honestly, if there isn't any penalties and seven teams are all there trying to do the RB, that could have been the most exciting finish ever. But it was good enough, with all the taxi drama, teams not checking in, Chad and Stephanie finishing, reached the pitstop, gotta pay their cab, ran back, received penalty, came back, check in and still in the race. Doesn't this sounded so much like the leg last season where Jet and Cord came in last on a NEL?! :tup:
And thumbs up to Chad and Stephanie for forgoing everything and just run to the pitstop. I know that was dumb.. but it showed truly how much they wanna stay on!
Love TAR 17!!! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

Waiting for their exit interviews. :lol:

Nat and Kat are just so analytical, but you would think that from their profession. Thought not critical, the leaving the packs in the taxis cost them time. Didnt cost them any places, but they were lucky everyone else, but Nick and Vicki did the same thing.
-
I think this is the first season the first 5 teams eliminated are all same gender teams.
Though the effect wasn't nearly as evident, it also happened in TAR 6 (M/M, F/F, F/F, leaving 8 M/F teams).

Yup, but 5 teams and we still have 2 all-female teams?! That's great!!! :hearts:
Normally by Final 6.. we'll be down to one all-female team who's struggling like mad to continue further. :lol:

The amazing thing is, Nick and Vicki then can't find a cab!! :lol3:
-
They should have found a hotel and got them to call one. But I think TPTB stretched out the drama about finding a cab....probably didnt take as long as was presented.

Yea, i'm sure it took a much lesser time, maybe even lesser than the time Nat and Kat did to run back and get their original cabs... or maybe not, because the doctors did arrive at RB first.
But the thing is, how did Gary and Mallory arrive at the Roadblock last? Somehow they didn't seem at lost.. the teams position were almost everywhere throughout the leg and in the middle it got so confusing.. but it was REALLY fun to watch. :lol:

The taxis weren't probably as far away as it seemed (I haven't seen the map yet so I could be wrong)

And besides the bizzare Speedbump we didn't see, what about the penalties?? Shouldn't teams receive additional minutes they gained for taking a cab and not walking as well? I remembered that happened for all the past seasons so far.
It's usually a 30 minutes penalty + time gained from taking cab/driving. Right?

Thanks Rob! Now that explains why there's no Speedbump!
Now i'm just wondering if that leg was meant to be a NEL! :lol:
