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 welcome everyone to join in the fun!! :wohoo:

I will, as I usually do, post the CBS Eye-lert with the revised times for tonight's east coast feed as soon as I receive it from CBS. That should be shortly after 7 pm EST.

theschnauzers,

CBS is not going to know until about 730pm since the Packers/Raiders game is running long.

Only to comment that the other late CBS game is in its last minute.....and switching them to a blow-out isn't going to inflate the ratings much. And it may be more like 45 minutes now at the rate the Packers-Raiders game is being played.

Jeremy & Sandy have got this in the bag.


Quick question: How spoiler-free would I be if I went directly to the URL for the episode on CBS? If the answer is none, I'll probably just watch it in the morning with good quality.

Previously on The Amazing Race...

11 teams began a race around the world... And I need to pee. :cmaslol

Ernie & Cindy came on the race ready to run. Things didn't always work out and they pushed even harder. They sometimes eased up and they got a spot in the final three.

Jeremy & Sandy weren't always in sync. Yelling at each other... They survived a few close calls but finally won a leg to get into the final three.

Amani & Marcus often dug themselves in a hole. With Marcus' NFL past, they have a fighting spirit. They always persevered for a spot in the final three.

So based on the short intro given for the 3 teams, the underdogs Marcus and Amani "underdogs" description seemed to be the most appealing.. as compared to overachievers (E/C) and lucky breaks (J/S).

Fly to Atlanta, Georgia and make their way to Flight Safety International.

Sandy: "THIS SUCKS." And now everyone at RFF collectively hates her. :cmaslol

They say that Marcus & Amani have a huge advantage. HUGE HUGE HUGE. So do Ernie & Cindy...

Ernie & Cindy depart at 12:05 AM.

J/S won the last leg: 12.04am

FLY YOUR WAY BACK TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA (PEACHES!)

Make their way to flight safety international.

J/S: Need to be perfect, work together as a team. Communicate with each other.

Marcus and Amani lives in Atlanta.

Ernie and Cindy at 12.05am

The whole world knows that M/A live in Atlanta.

Cindy laughs at Ernie being a NERD.

Marcus and Amani 12.06am

M/A: ATLANTA!!

MARCUS: SUPERBOWL. NFL. FOOTBALL. FIELD. NOW THAT'S ENOUGH.

They all seemed like it's a life and death situation. LOL.

OMG. I SEE PEACH. NOT. LOL!!!

Ernie and Cindy first out of airport.

Ernie and Cindy please go and get a cab. Please get a good cab.

CABBIES ARE IMPORTANT.

Oh dear. Nobody takes Ernie and Cindy.

Sandy... is afraid she's going to throw up.

J/S are first to flightsafety, A/M second.

E/C in last place.

This is going. to. be. a. tight. race!

All the teams are doing on the flight simulator task.

Unless any teams fail, all the teams should start and end in the same order!

They all sound like actual pilots. So cool.

Marcus landed poorly... very poorly.

Jeremy should become a pilot. He did really well! He got the clue. GO JEREMY & SANDY.

Find the former residence known as The Dump.

Okay Jeremy and Sandy landed fine.

Amani and Marcus seemed to be going out of the runway.

Jeremy and Sandy completed!

Amani and Marcus stuck. Ernie and Cindy stuck.

They need to find "The Dump", author of Gone with the Wind.

Ernie and Cindy are done with their task. SECOND.

Amani and Marcus are in dead last.

Cindy: Where's J/S
Ernie: They finished already. lol

Amani and Marcus landing. And they didn't do it again? WTH

Marcus... is doing horribly at this flight simulation.

Cindy gets the answer. She was using a cell phone... I don't know who she called.

Jeremy & Sandy... asked a truck driver. I don't know if they have the right location. :cmas5

Ernie & Cindy get to the right "Dump" and get their clue for a Road Block.

Teams using an old-school typewriter have to type out their next clue and have to substitute "l" for "1". I had to do that.

Marcus and Amani are STILL struggling. STILL.

Jeremy & Sandy left 20 minutes before Ernie & Cindy... but I guess that lead is gone now.

Jeremy & Sandy end up at a furniture store. Aye. They're looking through a store called The Dump.

Ernie & Cindy found the place! ROADBLOCK.

Working with an old fashioned typewriter, teams have to type their own clue. What. The button 1 doesn't work so they have to use L.

Ernie: I give a damn! And then after opening the clue, they both regret Ernie doing the roadblock. :cmaslol

Jeremy and Sandy left 15/20 mins ahead of Ernie and Cindy from flight simulation task.

Jeremy and Sandy are at the wrong place.

Erm, why is this race so slow paced and boring?

Ernie and Cindy found it. Now they're in first place. And if i'm not wrong, they will keep the lead throughout the rest of the race.

ROADBLOCK: WHO GIVES A DAMN.

Cindy: I can type 10 types faster than Ernie.
Ernie: I do agree I suck. Please just kill me right now. Why do I always have to feel that i'm lousier than my girlfriend.

And my feeds hanged yet again.

Jeremy and Sandy still at The "fake" Dump. Seriously, go out of that place or you'll seriously become DUMB.

Omg. Simulator Task... Amani and Marcus are still at it? Seriously. I think Bill and Cathi would have landed 200 times already.

Ernie taking his time to type.

Ernie is making mistakes after mistakes.

There's no "1".. well if Ernie's smart he needs to use the SMALL L.

Jeremy and Sandy: Our lead is now gone.

I think Ernie & Cindy won.  They had no problems with a flight simulator (unlike Marcus & Amani), and got the right directions (unlike Jeremy & Sandy).  Unfortunately, Cindy should have done the Roadblock.  Still, with Jeremy & Sandy so far behind, it's not going to matter.

Teams are drawing the Routemap. I like the task already. I think it's going to look really interesting.

Cindy is killing the last task. Oh My God.

It's just the countries they have visited.

Cindy. Killed. The. Task.

Ernie and Cindy received their next clue.

Ernie and Cindy making their way to the Swan House.

The first team to arrive will win One Million Dollars and The Amazing Race.

Wheee. I was right for trusting Ernie and Cindy.

I think we'll be seeing TAR 20 around the very end of February/beginning of March as we usually would. Most likely at its usual bat-time, bat-day, and bat-channel.

Ernie and Cindy as far as I am concerned earned the win on this last leg. They've done well the entire race; their worse placement was 5th in three of the legs during the first half of the Race (which was middle of the pack), while the other two final teams did finish in the lower half of the pack a few times. Ernie figured out the manual typewriter quirk is a very clever way for a generation that has probably never seen a manual typewriter up close, and I can understand why he had Cindy didn't catch on to the numerical references to Hank Aaron since that was 37 years ago, but once they caught on to the baseball aspect then they were right about heading to Turner Field (they probably lost a few minutes finding Hank Aaron's statue (there is one at Turner Field) and it wouldn't surprise me if there was a unshown route marker there since the remnant of the outfield wall of the old stadium wouldn't have been obvious even for locals.

And a couple of other things. Part of Cindy's mat comments almost channeled something Rob said on the final mat at the end of TAR 1. It was eery when she said it; and I think the foundation they have in mind is similar to what is known as "micro-banking" where small sums (often less than $25 are lent to help people start their own businesses; it's a concept that has been around for 25-30 years, and has proven to be a way to help bring about self-sufficiency in many of the world's poorest regions.

Congratulations to Ernie and Cindy!  :cmas16  Though I was rooting for another team, I felt that Ernie and Cindy were the strongest team heading into the final leg.

The cryptic clues were great but I wish the memory challenge was a bit more difficult.  Maybe arranging different objects relating to each leg would have posed a greater challenge.  That could include the "clue boxes" (like the mailbox in Denmark), not-written clues (coat of arms object given to teams at the orphanage during Indonesia 1) and the clue givers' attire (Panama dancers, Tabacco runners in Malawi).

Ernie and Cindy...no comments. TAR19 < Bag of Crap.

THIS is something I agree with wholeheartedly. I'm not going to rant about Ernie & Cindy again, as I've already expressed my views sufficiently, but TAR19 has been the worst season ever, and I'm actually contemplating whether it will even be worthwhile to stick around for TAR20. This season has been beyond dreadful, aside from Leg 7. The rest of it (except maybe Leg 6) has been awful, with terrible task design.

The final leg, for me, was terrible. Are we seriously going to decide who gets a million dollars based on a flight simulator and who can type fastest? That's just preposterous. Whoever designed this leg needs a real wake-up call. Abysmal doesn't even cut it.

The map thing was not even a good memory task - when we saw that teams were provided with little images in their clues of the countries, I was hoping that they'd have to search a bunch of pieces for the correct country pieces, which would've been a challenge at least. It isn't that hard to remember where 8 countries are situated, considering one is the US, two are extremely large (Thailand and Indonesia) and if you know where Germany is, you'd already know where Denmark and Belgium are, considering they took a train through there. The only potential difficulty was identifying Taiwan and Malawi, and even those aren't very difficult.

TAR19 - absolutely horrid, in my opinion. I will be sticking around for TAR20, but they had better come up with something better than this.

This was the second worst final leg of all time, behind TAR16's mess, in my opinion.

The only thing that comes even slightly close to this was the TAR16 finale for me.

This was truly a terrible leg.

And also, surely the people who wrote the clues realised that there was a place in Atlanta called 'The Dump'. Any reasonable person would surmise that 'The Dump' is where they needed to go, not a place from a book!

I actually liked this leg, as it seemed to be more in the hands of the racers, and less on the cab drivers. Or at least it appeared that way. Came down to going to the right "Dump".

While I like the idea of making the memorization challenge more physically demanding and not relying on notes, the map part just seemed too easy. Even Jeremy & Sandy got it quickly.

And have to admit, love the baseball part, involving the true home run king. Never thought this show would involve some baseball-related task.  :cmas22

I completel agree with the memory challenge being too easy - it barely took 5 minutes for the two teams we saw, or so it appeared.

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but that clue was definitely the only part of this leg which I enjoyed! They had a baseball task on the Family Edition, but yeah, it was quite an interesting clue. Unfortunately, that was the only part of the leg which I liked.

It seems like I OVERestimated Amani and Marcus's ability. I thought their edit could mean they got a really decent 1st/2nd placing. :cmas11

Let's just say that Marcus got his butt kicked in by an opponent's defensive end, to use one of the football analogies Marcus was so fond of. When he braked just after landing in the simulator, he always (except on what looked like his 7th attempt) skidded off the runway to the right or to the left. Amani attributed it to the pressure of the situation. I believe it would have been a different result had Amani volunteered to be the captain, but that would not have been their way of handling that critical choice.

DecliveBL,
You can look at this however you wish. However, Dan/Jordan got their lucky break on the plane flight from Shanghai to San Francisco. Ernie/Cindy got their lucky break when Jeremy/Sandy went to the wrong "the Dump". Ernie/Cindy were steady at all tasks and quickest on the map challenge. They earned their victory (which many believe Dan/Jordan did not).

apskip, I respect your opinion fully, but in my personal opinion, it seemed as though Jeremy & Sandy were more quick than Ernie & Cindy at both the flight simulation and the typist challenge, and were only slightly slower at the map. (although editing may be deceptive as usual!)

Ernie & Cindy definitely got lucky with the whole 'The Dump' thing, but I felt as though that clue should've been expressed better, as it seemed too ambiguous compared to other 'riddles' in past seasons, such as the Quixote Studios riddle from TAR17 or the 'King of the Havanas' riddle from TAR7.

That's just my opinion - feel free to agree/disagree - but I personally felt that the clue was too ambiguous, and reading it myself, I would've gone to Jeremy & Sandy's place if I had been given a choice between the two. :cmas5

Jeremy & Sandy were certainly quicker in the flight simulator, that I agree with.  I'm not sure about the typing challenge -- it could have been partly editing that made Sandy seem faster than Ernie.

As for "The Dump," I think that clue was meant to test the racers' brains.  I think the clue writers knew that the racers would probably take a look at "the Dump" and assume that they should go to the home depot one, so they used it to see how well the racers would use their brains.  Ernie & Cindy used theirs, Jeremy & Sandy didn't.  That was the difference there.

If I was racing, I think I would've gone to the store as well. I don't fault Jeremy & Sandy at all for going there, but I think the only mistake they made on this leg (which was a mistake on their own behalf) was staying there, after they saw that there were no red-and-yellow flags. :cmas5 I probably would've left if I saw no flags.

I agree with Prophet. Jeremy and Sandy were their own worst enemies by wasting time after not discovering any clue or any other racers at "The Dump" store. If they had figured out where to go more quickly, then they could have recovered and kept first place. Sandy seemed a little quicker than Ernie at typing on an old manual typewriter. Cindy was obviously a bit quicker at the Map Challenge. It could have been a real nail-biting finish rather than one CBS/WRP cooked up to make it seem closer than it really was.

What beat Jeremy and Sandy wasn't the amount of time they spent inside The Dump Store; it was the time they spent going there fist. Looking at Google Maps, the location was just off Georgia 400 on one side and Piedmont Road on the other side, and Sidney Marcus Avenue is a very short road that essentially connected the two. It is on the east side of Buckhead as Peachtree Road is about a couple of miles or so to the north and west. The Peachtree-Piedmont intersection is also a couple of miles or so north of the main intersection in Buckhead (Peachtree and Roswell Road) which is about a block or two (depending on how you read the map from the Swan House property. (So to get back to where the Margaret Mitchell House is in Midtown, they not only had to get back to that area (Midtown, as the southern edge of Buckhead is considered to be I-85 on the southeast and I-75 on the west/southwest), they would have had a trickier time getting to the right exit off of I-85 to get to that part of Midtown.

The time of the extra travel was more than enough to put Jeremy-Sandy far enough behind before they got to the roadblock.

The tasks did not go the way the producers think it will go. The racers are smart, and it just took them moments to substitute for 1 at the typewriting. The "PhilKeoghan: potential-to-completely-change-the-outcome-of-this-race" description with the map challenge means they have expectations that that task will definitely deliver. But in reality, that didn't go well. :lol:

I miss finales with lead changes and really interesting memory challenges like the great final episodes of seasons 12 and 14. Those are the most recent finales that really excited me because regardless of the teams in them, they were great viewing. The last five finales have had little suspense with the exception of TAR15. In that season at least the team that arrived first at the final task did not win but Meghan and Cheyne overtaking the other two was hardly a surprise. And that leg was poorly designed with no memory tasks which is a shame considering that that season was so good.

A good finale for me has interesting and skillfull tasks (not rappelling or driving a forklift). And a good final task that involves recalling hard to remember details about the journey. If any team could not remember what country they had been to or the order of eliminated teams (19 and 16) they didn't deserve to be on there. Silly things like counting poker chips or assembling a camper don't count either.
Lastly some lead changes cannot be manufactured by production but they help a lot.

A little late here, but I missed the episode yesterday as I was studying for finals. And I probably should be doing that right now too  :cmaslol

Anyway, even though Amani & Marcus was my favorite team, I have a lot of respect for Ernie & Cindy because they ran a great leg and absolutely deserved to win. Also, from what I've read they were ahead of Jeremy & Sandy by quite a bit so you can't just blame it on one thing; they simply ran a better leg.

By the way, Dan & Jordan are one of my favorite teams ever. xD So I don't really have a "least favorite winners" list...I've liked everyone so far.  :cmas20

I definitely agree with this. Had the teams been given directions straight to the place, the tension would have been more on the tasks than figuring out the clue. Suppose one team was able to figure the first obscure clue out because their driver had the internet with them and the other team's driver was like Jill & Thomas's or Gary & Mallory's, having multiple tricky clues will just widen the gap.

The essence of a good finale is not to have obscure clues but challenging tasks. A good memory task like that of TAR 8, TAR 9, TAR 12, TAR 14 runs up the drama of the finale.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operated by the Atlanta History Center, the Margaret Mitchell House is a turn-of-the century, three-story, Tudor Revival building where Margaret Mitchell lived and wrote her Pulitzer-Prize winning book, Gone With the Wind.

Built in 1899 by Cornelius J. Sheehan, the single-family home on fashionable Peachtree Street was converted into a ten-unit apartment building in 1919.

Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, moved into Apartment No.1 in 1925, when the building was known as the Crescent Apartments. Mitchell’s apartment is the only interior space of the restored house that is preserved as an apartment and maintains original architectural features, including the famous leaded glass window which Mitchell looked out while writing the book.

Guided tours of the Margaret Mitchell House are offered daily and include visits to her Crescent Avenue apartment, which she affectionately nicknamed “The Dump”, and to exhibitions about her life and the movie version of her book.

Traditionally known as one of the most recognized and photographed landmarks in Atlanta, Swan House is an elegant, classically styled mansion built in 1928 for the Edward H. Inman family, heirs to a cotton brokerage fortune. The mansion, designed by famed Atlanta architect Philip Trammell Shutze, provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of this Atlanta family during the 1920s and 1930s.

The essence of a good finale is not to have obscure clues but challenging tasks. A good memory task like that of TAR 8, TAR 9, TAR 12, TAR 14 runs up the drama of the finale.

Somebody needs a spanking to help them design more creative final legs. They odd to take a few advices from our awesome game hosts. :cmaslol

For me, the TAR12 finale was the best one of all time. The memory challenge was insane! :cmaslol And also, the tasks before the memory challenge were interesting, with a great Detour and the ice climb. Even though I did not like the winners, that season had the best final leg for me. I also rather enjoyed the TAR13 one, which also had a great memory challenge. TAR14's was great also, as was TAR17's. TAR16's and TAR19's have been abysmal for me. TAR18 didn't seem like a final leg, it just seemed like any other leg.

Out of all the seasons which had no memory challenges, I enjoyed the TAR15 finale most, because the poker chips was so suspenseful, and everyone was in first place at some point in the leg.

Will we see Peach somewhere in the finale?


Oh lordie...let's hope not!! :lol:
I was looking at the front of the "grassy knoll" outside the Flight Training building but couldn't see Peach anywhere. Looks like Peach will remain an enigma...  :cmaslol

I think Peach is like one of those people you often see in crime shows - those people who have never been seen and some people believe they are a myth. :cmaslol
