The Amazing Race 18 - Updates

8.5.11

Oh my my! All my favourite teams has been eliminated. I have no mood to watch the remaining episodes :( But if I don't watch, I will miss all the places they visited ;p

The Cowboys brothers were eliminated soon after Ron and Christina. And frankly, I don't like the way they lose the game. It was not because they couldn't catch up but it was because they were U-turned by the Globetrotters (unfair elimination!!). I hope this cowboys will be given a chance next time again.

Last week, it was the Goths turn to be eliminated. And this time, it was their biggest mistake for not reading the clue properly. They were penalized for taking a taxi to the Pit Stop (silly mistake!!). Initially, they arrived early but due to the penalty time they were incurred, the rest of the teams checked in before the time elapsed.

One team to go before the finals. Who would be in the finals?

Zev and Justin?
Gary and Mallory?
Kisha and Jen?
Flight Time and Big Easy?

I am not a fan of the remaining teams but I hope the father and daughter team will make it to the finals.

Let's wait and watch!

The Amazing Race 18 - The Gambling Cowboys

24.4.11

Why oh why the cowboys took a risky move? They took a later flight from the other teams which is to me is real gamble. I hope they don't do it again as the next leg, somebody will be definitely going home.

In this leg, Zev and Justin became the first team to arrive won themselves each a 2012 Ford Focus!! Now I'm jealous!

Mallory and her dad arrived last and lucky for them as it was another a non-elimination leg. But they have to perform a Speed Bump in the next leg. And I hope this will give advantage to the cowboys to do some catch up.

The Amazing Race 18 - Lucky Cowboys

17.4.11


Because of trusting the information given, the cowboys nearly couldn't make it. The cowboys brothers are the only team who took a different flight to Delhi, India and were left far behind by the rest of the teams.

In a Roadblock, I was so disappointed with Ron. He lost his way to search for the Holy Men. I'm sure the cameraman following him swore on him! Even the cowboy who was one hour late passed him.

Their Detour was a choice between making fuel patties made from buffalo manure or delivering hays to a designated place. Lucky for the cowboys to choose the delivering hays. They did it in no time reached the Pit Stop before the Goths and father and daughter team, Ron and Christina.

Ron and Christina was the last team to arrive and had been eliminated. Sigh!

The Amazing Race 18 - Taste of Tea

3.4.11


Margie and her son, Luke were eliminated from the Race. It was all because of tea. Luke became desperate to find the right tea in a Roadblock. I can feel his desperation but if he push himself a little bit more I'm sure he could finish the task in no time.

Mallory and her dad won this leg and won themselves a million rupees! which is equivalent to USD20,000.00.

My favourite, the cowboy brothers, Jet and Cord and also father and daughter team, Ron and Christina took second and third place respectively.

The Amazing Race 18 - Cowboys Rule!

27.3.11


I couldn't be happier when the cowboy brothers overtake Mallory and her father to the Pit Stop eventhough they used their Express Pass to skip a tiring task in Roadblock which is to assemble bones of a dinosaur. The cowboy received US$5000 each for being the first team to arrive.

Kent and Vyxsin made an impressive turnover! From last to fourth place. But they were penalized for not taking a hired plane to China so their position shifted to fifth place.

During this leg, it was fun to watch the Harlem Globetrotters and the gang playing basketball with Jaime and Cara doing the cheerleaders thing.

But too bad for Jaime and Cara, they became the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop and has been eliminated from the race. The race will continue. Who will be eliminated next?

The Amazing Race 18 - Oh My Goths!

20.3.11

What actually happened to the Goths?

It began when they forgot where they parked their car. Then they don't know how to open the car's bonnet. Out of panic, they lost their way to the airport and missed their flight to China. Vyxsin also left her passport at the airport counter (Kunming, China Airport). At this stage, I became irritated of Vyxsin. She panicked easily and forgets everything.

In Roadblock, Vyxsin once again broke into tears as she couldn't find her Chinese Zodiac charms. She said she is stupid. Luckily she admitted it so I don't have to say it again here LoL

After Vyxsin finally found her charms and put them in order, they took a gondola to go down Jade Dragon mountain. BUT their ordeal has not stop there! After they boarded a bus to take them to Old Town Lijiang, they realized that they lost their bag containing their passports and money. They begged the bus driver to turn back.

What will happen to them? We will find it out tomorrow night.

This leg of the race is not over yet as all teams were instructed to continue their race. The first team to arrive was Margie and Luke and they won themselves a trip to Aruba. Besides the Goths, Zev and Justin also has not checked in.

By the way, my Chinese Zodiac is HORSE.

The Amazing Race 18 - Unfinished Business

13.3.11

I didn't realize the Amazing Race is back! Usually, I would receive news from the AXN in my email but not this time. Well, it's okay. I only missed the first episode. And during the first episode nobody has been eliminated.

They call this new season as 'Unfinished Business'. It means, a second chance for them to win the million dollars. I would love to have Kev Jumba in this season but nope, he is not selected.

The returning teams are:

Kent Kaliber & Vyxsin Fiala with Ronald Hsu & Christina Hsu from Season 12

Margie Adams & Luke Adams, Mel White & Mike White, Lakisha Hoffman & Jeniffer Hoffman, Amanda Blackledge & Kris Klicka, Jaime Edmondson & Cara Rosenthal from Season 14

Herb Lang & Nate Lofton with Zev Glassenberg and Justin Kanew from Season 15

Jet McCoy & Cord McCoy from Season 16

Gary Ervin & Mallory Ervin from Season 17

Recaps:

In episode 1, Gary and Mallory became the first team to arrive and they were given the Express Pass. Jet and Cord was the last team to arrive but they were not eliminated as they were instructed to continue the Race.

In episode 2, Amanda and Kris were eliminated. Zev & Justin became the first team to arrive and won themselves a trip for two to Cancun, Mexico.

In episode 3, Mel & Mike were eliminated. They didn't complete their Detour task and was only shown at the Pit Stop for their elimination. Zev & Justin again won this leg of the Race and won a trip for two to Costa Rica.

My favourite teams are:

Father & daughter, Ron and Christina and also brothers, Jet and Cord.
