And the Winner Is….

Well, my favorites to when the race ended up stranded in Hawaii. Congrats to Reichen & Chip on their Million Dollar win.

I managed to watch most of the race last night in the midst of everything else that was going on. The summary will be late, but hopefully not as late as the last one currently is.

NNOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Not my Clowns!!! How could this happen?!?!? Next time around, I’m only going to love a team in secret. Then maybe they’ll survive to the final 3.

Anyways, due to real life, the summary will be delayed yet again. Hopefully I’ll have it up sometime tomorrow evening. Until then, I’ll be trying to console myself over my loss.

Leg 8: Racer Rankings

It seems that I’m late getting these rankings posted again. But I have an excuse this time: Real life got in the way.

Anyways, this leg saw lots of airport wrangling. I always enjoy seeing the teams trying to work out the best flights on the spur of the moment. I’ll spend an hour with Travelocity trying to figure out the non-stop flight to go home.

This weeks tasks very nice, and I would have loved to try out the Roadblock. I probably wouldn’t do any better than any of the teams did though. Read more »

Leg 7: Racer Rankings

The racers head to southern India via a 26 hour train ride. Some racers try to get some rest, while other spend their time acting like 4th graders. A trip through a “muddy” field, an elephant ride, a few chickens, and a race to the pit stop fill this leg with plenty of excitement. And did anyone notice the fake out by the producers? How many thought this was a non elimination leg?

Leg 6: Racer Rankings

Yeah, the Leg 6 Rankings are a bit late. I’ll try to do better for the next Leg.

None of the teams did anything to make me dislike them more this week. And Tian & Jaree have finally stopped fighting which makes them much more pleasent to watch. Monica & Sheree gave it a valiant shot, but it seems it just wasn’t meant to be. Read more »

Leg 5: Racer Rankings

Leg 5 took the Racers to the home of windmills rides, skinny bridges, wriggling eels, cheese weighing, and poop digging. My impressions of a few of the teams have improved, and a few have dropped. And the Clowns are joined on the love list by my second favorite team.
