THE AMAZING RACE: ALL STARS

[I Drive Too Fast]

According to more snooping at the cheat site, the first 5 teams eliminated on this version of the race were "sequestered" at Acapulco, Mexico. They got a nice vacation there. This means that all teams don't get to return home until the race has finished filming.

The plane trip from Guam to the next state, but not the final state had 6 teams on board. They were the final three and the previous 3 teams to be eliminated.

You cache? That’s fantastic! We’ve been caching for a couple years or so now. Great family fun and exercise but had to slow it down because of an injury. There’s another of us here by the name Swamp... something. Hate to admit how often I’m as dense as Danny was last night with the guy almost having to jump up and down and wave a flag at him.

It is a lot of fun! Being an out of shape lump, I usually go for the urban caches. LOL!

I can be that dense, too! I don't think they were given military spec GPS receivers, which are accurate to an inch or so. The civilian ones are accurate to about 10 feet, so when I'm out caching, once I'm in about a 10-foot range, I just start using my eyeballs.

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

Is it a one hour finale?

[mystery-ak]

Is this the finale?

[silent_jonny]

Yes and yes :)

All - the site Maven posted is THE site for geocaching. Great fun for kids, dogs, athletic types, and those of us out of shape folks who seriously need to get off the couch.

We’re out in the country and have done all around here so it’s a major trip and $$$ gas money now days but it does get us out of the house, lets us see places we normally wouldn’t, and gives us some quality time with Teen M. and her friends.

I heard a rumor that Charla pushed Mirna under a bus during this leg of the race while she is in mid-sentence telling Charla to “hurry up, you little midget, move faster” in a fake gypsy accent.

Now, That is must see tv! :-)

Finale night! Here’s cheers for the BQs but I have a horrible sinking feeling it’ll be the evil cousins’ night. Too bad Romber isn’t still in it. They were really fun this season. Can’t wait for the pirate show to begin.

[mystery-ak]

Can’t wait for the pirate show to begin.

pirate show?

[mtbopfuyn]

Yeah, there’s some reality pirate show... The Pirate Master or some such starting soon on one of the major alphabet channels. I don’t know anything about it, just seen commercials, but hoping it’s good.

[mystery-ak]

sounds interesting

[RobFromGa]

Coming May 31 to CBS... Pirate Master

[Veto!]

I’m still rooting for Romber too. But in their absense, I prefer the BQs. Gooooooooo girls!

[A knight without armor]

Pirate show? There’s going to be a pirate show? I did not get any memo about a pirate show.

[A knight without armor]

Ok. Thanks. Pirate Master. That is an odd name but I’m going with it. Can’t wait!

[A knight without armor]

I want the BQ’s to win, too. I wish they would whittle it down to two teams for a big finale. The Apprentice used to have the final two contestants battle it out in the last two shows. I enjoyed that but this time they stopped the show too early. Very disappointing just like Los Angeles was. It has been so long since The Apprentice jumped the shark now it’s just sticking under the shark with the remoras.

[RobFromGa]

Anyone but Mirna and Chmirna.

[mystery-ak]

another live thread perhaps...lol
