Randy
Simon
Paula

African edition.

This should be good, can't wait. Usually rushing home on Sundays hoping to catch TAR from the start (the game delays work to my advantage). This week I get to see it from the beginning. YAY! *Paula clap*

7 pm real time 10:38 left in the 4th Qtr for thegame they have on here.

Sigh

Did'ja ever think the biggest stretch I'd make on S:SI was to say CBS would be so eager to coordinate time zones for the finale, they'd have the guts to hyperspeed 60 Minutes?

LAST EDITED ON 11-25-07 AT 07:55 PM (EST)

Can we replace Les with a robot who will do your bidding? I'm sure there are some Chenbot parts laying around.

Gosh that would be so nice if they'd really do something like that.

Hmmmm any hope the CBS News writer's strike would get 60 minutes off the schedule by the Survivor finale?

ETA Oh, look 7:43 and they just did the coin toss to go into overtime. *whee*

game is finally over here in Boston viewing area. (Bears won, I don't know or care who they were playing).

So TAR will be 1 hour late on east coast thread? Or does it differ city to city?

I think most if not all of the East Coast probably had the Denver/Chicago game.

The Canadian peeps will probably start on time, there might be a few others if they did do different games in different markets, but all markets had some game on.

*sigh*

The other game that ran late was an NFC game, 49ers and Cardinals.

My late game was San Diego/Baltimore. I imagine once that ended around 7:20 they switched to the Denver/Chicago game because they prefer that all East Coast markets be on the same page, usually...... last week not withstanding, of course.

Thank you Bears for winning quickly in OT. Unfortunately TAR is still 55 minutes late.

At this rate we'll be watching TAR simultaneously with the west coast peeps.

And watching with us for a change would be bad why, exactly?

Again on-time in Ontario Canada.

I hope you guys never meet me, I am sure I will get a pie in the face for all the times I rib you about getting the race on schedule. And that is if you are being nice

Azaria sure does not lack in self esteem.

No chicken, no check-in.

Ronald thinks position in the race equals how good his relationship with his daughter is! This man is twisted.

So the yelled at each other the whole time teams that won really have great relationships?

Yikes.

Two twists:

When dancing the judges can give a time delay if you pass but don't to a great job in being creative in your dancing.

U-Turn: lets you force a following team to do the other task that they did not choose the first time.

Outside of the "force a trailing team" part, Estee nailed what the U-Turn was gonna be..........

So, basically, it's now a more sadistic version of the Yield.

Can the blondes stop being so blonde! It's just dancing.

L&R are far behind already and the blondes have U-turned them. Boy are they going to be pis@^&.

Well they did the dancing ok.

LAST EDITED ON 11-25-07 AT 08:48 PM (EST)

And L&R have to go for the gold.

They have the gold and are now out for blood.

oops!

I don't know why you posted all of those sigs, but stick to the 'very bad girl' one - I like it!

Jason is still coming up with reasons not to get married.

and this is why I program my tape for TAR with an extra hour......

Start time: 8:56 EST

Daddy Dearest has a hernia (poor baby!)

For some milking a camel was easy, for others, it Was SO HARRRRRRDDDD!

The Latina sisters, by a combination of advice to the only team left of the course and some bad luck with the weather (at least according to the interview last Monday....) were the 3rd team eliminated.

Me too. This was actually the first time we used up almost the full hour. Whew!

Were any chickens injured in the filim of this leg?

Bro/Sis 7:58am
New Hippies 8:12?
Nathan/Jen 8:13
Goths 8:14
Daddy Deares 8:15
Grand Team 8:16
Blondies 8:38
Lorena/Jason 10:07

Teams must walk to the Chief to get their next clue, where they will also get a gift from the Chief, a chicken! (They get a net bag to capture and keep it in...)

Teams get $0 for this leg of the race. (Since they're in Africa, I'm not really surprised.

Teams travel by taxi to Bouda, etc. (As a sign of respect to the Chief they must keep a chicken with them the whole leg of the race "no chicken, no check in!")

Detour: Shake your Pan or Shake your Booty!

Pan: Using a pan mine 1 oz. of gold

Booty: Dance in front of judges, if you svck, you can get a 10 minute penalty!

Did anyone else notice the abundance of cabs in The Middle of Nowhere, Africa? I mean, my God... they were everywhere!

I'm guessing that since cars (and therefore drivers) aren't commond in Africa that alternate forms of transportation are more common.

Actually, I'm not guessing, I've heard that from people that have traveled in Africa.

OMG why is he here?

Does Shana & Jennifer think T.K. & Rachel are Lorena & Jason?
I really think they do. lol.

I think they did. Not real bright.

Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
