THE AMAZING RACE: ALL STARS

[Koblenz]

Knowing that it would be a whole DAY LATER should have made them choose another flight.

Yeah, you would have thought they could have had a better backup plan. Like if they miss the KL flight, get one to Jakarta or Singapore and then change there. But sitting around Frankfurt/Main for a whole day is not a good backup plan. Especially so they could gain 40 minutes on the other teams at 6:40 am, when in most races there's a wait for something to open in the early morning.

I also noticed that C&M took a TAXI to the cookie stand, when the instructions clearly said walk. I thought they'd get tagged for a penalty, but then they walked to the other task, so I guess they eeked out of a penalty.

Uchenna and Joyce eliminated by missing a plane, how delightfully ironic.

[pbear8]

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

The tiff was too funny, so passionate =P

[mtbopfuyn]

Yeah, you would have thought they could have had a better backup plan.

Exactly. It's one thing if you have a solid Plan B and you are a team of one. But with you and your camera guy and perhaps a couple other crew members, you should know an hour isn't enough time to get everyone unloaded, through customs (especially all the electrical equipment) and run to the next gate, and that's all IF your original plane isn't delayed. That mistake was worse than Boston Rob's spelling.

I also noticed that C&M took a TAXI to the cookie stand, when the instructions clearly said walk.

We noticed that too. Didn't others take a taxi? Perhaps it didn't matter much during the editing with one team a day behind. Did anyone else notice how very, very pleased Phil was when the BQ arrived on the mat?

What was the preview for next week like?

[pbear8]

Um, I really don’t remember much, they showed something with Team Barbie and C & M getting into it at an airport counter and one other thing which I can’t think of.

Jonny I was trying for a cool posting number like 1000. All I got was 666. =(

[silent_jonny]

All I got was 666. =(

Well you got 667 too, so you're not all bad ;)

[hattend]

ChaChaCha brought up the rear

[pbear8]

Yes, they are the butt of many a joke.

[silent_jonny]

Ping!

[silent_jonny]

You beat me :)

[mystery-ak]

you’re late...hehehe

[silent_jonny]

Only by a few seconds :)

There's been severe weather here all day--a tornado watch just expired, but it's still raining buckets.

I had the PC unplugged until just a few minutes ago.

[mystery-ak]

Air China......you know...I would be really scared if I had to fly some of these airlines

[mystery-ak]

I hate tornado season...stay safe buddy.

[silent_jonny]

Sharing the elevator with the team you yielded ... awkward silence.

[silent_jonny]

stay safe buddy.

I'll try, lol :)

It was rough here around 5pm. It got dark as night and rained HARD. Didn't like that.
