ALERT: The show starts an hour earlier this week, with two back-to-back episodes.
I'm a Bird, I'm a Plane, I'm on the Amazing Race! / Who Wants a Rolex? - In the first hour, th teams take a leap of faith when choosing which detour challenge to take on, and a split-second decision may make or break one team’s life in the race. In the second hour, the teams drum up strength for a head-to-head battle.
Enjoy the shows!

Skydiving off a building and going up the fastest elevator. My ears would be killing me!

The Reilly sisters have the worst cab driver. Does she not have GPS in the taxi?

Turns out it was a virtual simulation jump and then they had to answer questions about what they saw.

I was watching the All In The Family special, but I had to flip during the commercial -- only to see the Reillys coming in last! (Interesting how they are babbling their emotional farewell speeches on the carpert before Phil even tells them if they are eliminated or not) ....and sure enough, it's a non-elimination leg. You dumb clucks.  |

That Uganda leg was brutal. I don't care for the head to head twist
Sad to see Janelle and Brit go this soon, I thought for sure they would have a deeper run than this , it was just a rough leg for them :/

I loved seeing Dubai, that frame was awesome..What a rich country. This is why we watch AR
Rachel and her fake crying in the car, please! What a shame it was a NEL. I want those two gone..especially Rachel..
I'm amazed Brett and Chris are doing so well. We love all the other teams, sad to see Janelle and Brit leave. Janelle looked too long for a Rolex watch, I would have as well
Colin is a very good dancer..
Team fun, they are a joy to watch..
Victor and Nicole work well together..

It was great having two hours of TAR tonight! I love this show. Dubai was pretty, and so interesting. I agree, Reilly sisters should have been gone, and I wish they were. Then their speed bump was so easy, seemed fast too, in the next leg. Rachel fake-crying and whining about what this race meant to her, was ridiculous, then Elissa shutting her up (or trying) was hilarious -- she was saying what we all were probably thinking. Just, STOP!  And, they couldn't count the stairs? Come on! That virtual reality game was so cool! I would've loved doing that one. Janelle just made too many dumb mistakes on these episodes: first the wrong nest for the eggs, and then the fiasco looking for the Rolex. Their cab certainly was horrible bad luck too. I don't care for the Afghanimals very much, but Colin and Christie are actually enjoyable. Team Fun is awesome; what wonderful attitudes they have about everything, and are just enjoying life. What an inspiring couple of people! Victor and Nicole are doing well. He's very likable! Phil's freestyling was pretty amusing, too. Great show! |

Finished the first episode. Really can Rachel just not panic, and not whine, and not cry.

I was sad for Janelle that she got so fixated on the idea of a Rolex being a watch and immediately started asking where she could buy a watch rather than using the word Rolex. And once she got that in her head, she couldn't stop to even consider another possibility. Such a frustrating way to go out.
I was glad for Tyler and Korey that they had a positive experience in Uganda and also won that leg.

I like Rachel and Elissa and I'm glad they ae still in the game. Having watched Rachel on BB and TAR, I just believe that she is a very emotional person, and I believe that she isn't being fake. But then, to each their own opinion. I was sad that Janelle and Brit had to leave so soon, and also that they had to leave because Rachel and Elissa beat them. It is clear that the girls are friends in real life, and that must have been hard.

You seldom see them whining.. |

I enjoy Rachel and Elissa as well. They make me laugh. Elissa getting annoyed with Rachel whining in the taxi was gold. LOL
And sorry to say, Janelle and Brit just aren’t made for TAR, in my opinion. They didn’t really even seem to get along. I wasn’t sad to see them go.

I agree that Janelle and Brit aren't cut out for TAR. I'm not familiar with Brit, but I've always likes Janelle, so I was just sad that it didn't work out for her. But they definitely weren't good at it.  One team I'm beginning to like a lot is the Survivor guys. They have a really good attitude, and I like that they are finally figuring out how to run the race. |

I like her sister more than I like her. I do not at all like Janelle, but i love Britt, but no this wasn't for them. Brittany is more of a thinker not a runner |

While I am glad that Rachel and Elissa are still in the race, I really don't have a favorite. I like all of the ones left, and think any one of them could win and deserve to. If I was on TAR, I would have probably been eliminated first! There is so much to like about all of the teams left, so I'm a happy camper whose enjoying this season of the race.

Welcome Home, mesachick! Yes, they seem to be the last of the annoying pairs unless you don't count the Afganimals.

You seldom see them whining.. These are my two favorite teams! Uganda is very violent to their women, with high rates of intimate partner violence, and general gender inequality. So I was really curious as to see it and really felt for Tyler and Korey. I wonder why they (Amazing Race) chose Uganda. I'm not sure many people know much about Uganda so I was really impressed that Tyler and Korey knew about the country's stance on homosexuality. I wouldn't have known about the high rates of IVP there until I wrote a paper on IVP and found that Uganda was the #1 violator. Anyhoo, that fish thing? I could NEVER have done that. I watch these shows and don't think I could survive any of these legs! |

And, as a result, we see how Tyler and Korey felt.. |

Great episodes. Love the teams that won.
I agree with I don't think Rachel is faking it . . . I agree she is also just very emotional and it's all read. I still agreed and had to chuckle when Elissa said enough Rachel.

Finally catching up. First epi down and I love Elissa giving Rachel the shut up look when she was crying in the cab.
