THE AMAZING RACE: ALL STARS

[A knight without armor]

Yes, I did.

Give me the knowledge to hide his body after I kill him..........

Real nice.

[Notforprophet]

The Blondes flat out lied to Eric and Danielle. "We told them to yield anyone but us" when what they actually told them to do was specifically yield E&D.

Dirty, dirty hookers! :)

[I Drive Too Fast]

I can drive a stick and have driven a car with the same features - having to shift using your left hand while sitting in the right seat. Luckily, the pedals are the same, but it takes a little getting used to it driving a car like that. The car I drove was a Suzuki 2 cylinder and the vehicle got very good gas mileage (better than anything on the market today), but it had no power. I drove this car in 1980 over in Okinawa, Japan.

To know what country they are going to next, search Andersen Air Force Base.

Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! (hand waving in air being supported by other hand)

Guam!

Yike. I think brown snakes and spiders rule there.

[I Drive Too Fast]

Correct. A funny thing about the race, many times the eliminated team also travels on the same airplane as the continuing teams.

[A knight without armor]

Do you mean you think it is odd how teams on the same plane can arrive at the mat so far apart or that the losing eliminated team continues to travel as though they are still in it?

I have always wondered about that. I read that on Survivor the eliminated contestants have the option of remaining at the location until the filming is finished. I always thought I’d do that as a free vacation. Heck!

So perhaps the eliminated AR teams are allowed to continue on the world tour. I sure would for the once in a lifetime experience. Even if the losers wanted to return to the U.S. wouldn't’t the produces keep them sequestered somewhere so as not to have any friends or relatives find out the results before the final show?? I don’t know. I'd love to know more behind the scenes about these shows. I have an acquaintance who was on Jeopardy! and it was a serious deal for her to keep mute about the results until her show was aired.

[I Drive Too Fast]

I think it is in stages. Let's just say, the team to be eliminated on next weeks show was also on the same plane as the other contestants when they flew to the next location. I think they (the eliminated team) then flew to the final city before the final 3 teams did.

Sometimes even Phil might be on the same flight with the teams.

I don't know if the teams have the option of continuing the whole way or not. If they did, that would make for a nice trip.

[I Drive Too Fast]

I did some further snooping and here is what I found about plane flights and who were on them.

One flight - *They're probably teams #6 (Guidos), #5 (Uchenna/Joyce), and #4 (you will find out next week who this was)

*(a flight attendant on Air Micronesia) asked (name withheld to avoid spoiling it -one of the team members in the next eliminated team) if Rob/Amber and some of the other racers were on another plane, and (this name withheld for obvious reasons) said something like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's another plane."

Maybe they do continue on for the entire course of the race then.

[A knight without armor]

Oh, ok! I can see that. Each eliminated team may get beamed ahead to the final destination so they are not loose and can be standing there for the finale. That makes more sense than dragging them along through every town. Even so, great vacation while waiting for the others to catch up! Remember the olden days when you could just watch a program without trying to figure out all the gears and cogs.

[mtbopfuyn]

Why don’t they learn how to drive stick? That’s like somebody on Survivor not knowing how to start a fire./I>

Ain't that the truth.

[mtbopfuyn]

Give me the knowledge to hide his body after I kill him..........

And "can you at least read Chinese" was beyond rude.

[mtbopfuyn]

OMG, when the gay dudes were talking at the end about Karma and Oswald said it bit real hard - I about died......

(((TAR Ping)))

The Teletubbies Go to War

One team feels patriotic while
visiting U.S. military bases in Guam.

The race resumes tonight at 8pm EST, after 60 Minutes

As always, if you want on or off this ping list, just let me know.

[pbear8]

Be detailed tonight I am in the wilderness in Utah and might not be able to watch!

[mtbopfuyn]

Just one team feels patriotic? Are the others liberals?

[silent_jonny]

Just one team feels patriotic? That stuck out at me too. Hard to figure which one would feel patriotic. They all seem so self-involved.

[silent_jonny]

We’ll try :)

[silent_jonny]

Ping!
