East Coast is gonna be late. Way late.

The Burial in Foxboro does have a mercy clock running to end that debacle...... However, Jets-Bills have over 11 minutes left in regulation, and they're tied.........

Canada, keep us appraised.

wow, even my standard record 1 hour longer than scheduled wouldn't cover this delay! Good thing we got done with dinner at a decent time, so I can adjust accordingly

I pity those who are out of town or not home tonight, and have set their DVRs thinking that taping the 9 pm show would be enough to cover the whole show tonight...
"RE: Start the stopwatch"

You mean, like me?

Actually, I did change the DVR to record Three Rivers, but I didn't extend THAT show. I lost it at the commercial break where the poker girls decided to build the snowman.

At least we were pretty confident that Colin and The Nanny were leaving. Something tells me that he'd get lost at the gym...

It'll be interesting to see what happens next week on CBS.

CBS announced earlier that "Cold Case" would be postponed to next week. But it's airing as scheduled here in Canada on the CTV feed. Looks like CTV will have to figure out what to show next week as CBS won't let them air next week's episode while this week's is being pushed back to next week...

We're starting:

Sam/Dave leave at 12:25
Globetroters: 12:27
Brian/Erica: 12:30
Gary/Matt: 12:35
Meghan/Cheyne: 12:37
Lance/Keri: 12:47
Mika/Kanaan: 12:49
Maria/Tiffany: 12:55

Casino time difference: 30 minutes.

They're off to a first riddle: Persian gulf and the world's tallest building. They aren't told it's in Dubai. Ericka knows, she tells Sam/Dan. GT find out soon.

"RE: Canada Spoiler thread"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:10 PM
I just hope some teams didn't go to Toronto ... they might think of the C.N. Tower as the world's tallest building.
"RE: Canada Spoiler thread"
Posted by michel on 10-18-09 at 08:10 PM
All teams on same flight. So much for the riddle!
"RE: Canada Spoiler thread"
Posted by michel on 10-18-09 at 08:15 PM
They go to the top and nothing. They get a clue to the Fast Forward and Meghan and Cheyne want to go for it.
"RE: Canada Spoiler thread"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:18 PM
Yeah it's a pity they did nothing while at the top of the tower (124th floor). They should have to push their partners off or something exciting like that...

Mika Meltdown ... averted!

"RE: Previews"

You know, it's amazing. Teams *know* going into this race that they'll be in some pretty high places more than once or twice. Did Mika really think she wasn't going to get into one or two of these situations this time around?
"RE: Previews"
Posted by CTgirl on 10-18-09 at 10:32 PM
Mika and Canaan have now risen to the top of my "keep on voting for them until they leave list." Hopefully next week will do it!

So what else is new? Lance is always lost up in his head.
"RE: Canada Spoiler Thread"
Posted by michel on 10-18-09 at 08:21 PM
Megan and Cheyne at the fast forward: Drive a race car. Make a lap in less than 1 minute, I think.

After the break... it takes a while, but Lance and Keri finally finds their car on a separate level.

Megan/Cheyne is in the desert and riding a race car for the FF.

ETA to fix name of team doing the FF.

Roadblock: Beat the heat and find water in buried urns

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by michel on 10-18-09 at 08:24 PM
Poker girls, Blake and ericka and brothers are first at roadblock.

GT and Gary and Matt arrive

"FF?"
Posted by jbug on 10-18-09 at 10:04 PM
Lamest FF e.v.e.r.
and then to be driven to the PS -- not have to drive & find it themselves?
"RE: FF?"
Posted by vince3 on 10-18-09 at 10:39 PM
It's not unprecedented.

TAR 3, I think, had a FF that involved driving a tank through a tank course to win the FF, and the team that did so got a limo ride to the Pit Stop.

Unfortunately the team that did so was so far behind (in part due to the staggering of busses toward where they had to go....) that by the time the limo got there, they got Philiminated...........

"RE: FF?"
Posted by jbug on 10-19-09 at 09:37 AM
There was one once where all one team member had to do was dive - or jump - into a swimming pool and retrieve the clue from a post. Don't remember if they then got a free ride to the PS or had to find their own way.

I like fast forwards like the one where they had to walk across a plank over a high water tower (or something - think that was a Romber season). At least there was the possibility of not being able to do it.

"RE: FF?"
Posted by kidflash212 on 10-18-09 at 10:42 PM
I completely agree jbug - At the very least have both team members complete a lap in less than 45 seconds. What's the point of giving whatever team arrives there first a free pass and a huge head start on the next leg? If they are going to have a Fast Forward, it should be a real challenge with some risk of failure and possible elimination. This was just a big waste of time.
"RE: FF?"
Posted by Max Headroom on 10-19-09 at 09:12 AM
Don't worry, we're overdue for a non-elim. And once they leave Dubai, there will be an airport bunch point to pull the teams back together.
"RE: FF?"
Posted by Loree on 10-19-09 at 03:41 PM
I didn't like this FF either. I want a FF that the team might refuse to do out of fear or vanity. Have them shave their heads or do something scary. I want the team to have to make a big choice if they are going to get such a large lead.
"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:23 PM
Roadblock: Find water. Teams must find water by digging in the desert and fill their bag enough to get their next clue.
"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:26 PM
From the buried urns, they have to use a ladle to fill up their bag and bring it back for the clue.

Cheyne's having a ball whizzing by on a racetrack, and he beat the qualifying time. Got the Fast Forward!

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by michel on 10-18-09 at 08:28 PM
Meghan and Cheyne take a maserati ride to the pit stop.

Brian complete roadblock first and head back to Dubai. He helps poker girl and dan find urn.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by michel on 10-18-09 at 08:31 PM
Big Easy is finding the desert Hot Hard.

Brian (in second place) help Mika and Kanaan (next to last) find the desert.

Lance and Keri still lost.

Poker girls break the radiator of their car.

After filling up their bags with water and getting their next clues, teams must head over to the Dubai Ski Hill.

Whee, this should bring on an instant round of colds for everyone! Going from extreme heat to cold on a snowy hill.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"

Poker girls ran over a pole or something sticking out of the sand while backing up ... and the radiator is busted! Water is spewing out of the radiator beneath the car.

Megan and Cheyne casually stroll into the pit stop and are team number one. They've won a trip for two to Jamaica.

Lance and Kanaan are last ones looking for urns.

Gary and Matt first in the snow: Detour "Build a snow man" or "Find a snow man"

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:41 PM
What a prick Lance is.

"Nag, nag, sure I'll do the Amazing Race, yeah yeah."

Then after he got the clue, he told the clue-giver, "Have a nice life."

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:38 PM
Detour: Build a snowman ... or ... Find a snowman.

Funniest line of the evening:

Mika: It's funny that, here, you can drive 120 miles an hour and it feels like you're driving 60."

Canaan: "That's 120 kilometers an hour so it is only about 60 miles an hour!!!"

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"

Brian and Ericka find snowman first and head for pitstop.

Gary and Matt ans the poker girls change detour and go for Build. Sam and Dan continue looking and are joined by the globe trotters.

Lance and Keri still arguing, still lost. Please, stay last.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:49 PM
Lance and Keri still brawling after we come back from commercial break.

Two teams drop the Find a Snowman and elect to move on to Build a Snowman.

Brian and Erika arrive second at the Pit Stop.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-18-09 at 08:51 PM
Big Easy and Flight Time are second to get the clue and currently in third place. They help Mika and Canaan by telling them "it's freezing in there" so they go back and get warmer clothes before going inside.

Big Easy and Flight Time finish third at the Pit Stop.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"

Mika definitely isn't the sharpest tool in the shed from what I've seen of her so far this season... and she just proved it there.

Yes! Mika and Canaan finish 7th.

Now... the waiting game to see if it's an elimination or not as Lance/Keri are now finishing their snowman.

Lance and Keri are the last to arrive and Phil is the only one that is sorry that they have been eliminated from the race. Lance is a jerk even in his final moments.

Next week...

Still in Dubai. Teams take a water slide down. Mika is terrifed of the high slide and resists Canaan's attempts to push her down. They have a huge fight at the top.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by kidflash212 on 10-18-09 at 10:47 PM
Getting a sense that Canaan is going to take over as the Jerk from Lance. Calls his cab driver an idiot and next week gets all Jonathan on Mika. Trying to force her down that slide looked downright abusive.

At any rate that's no way to deal with her phobia, he's in his own panic state. They may have to take the time penalty for not completing a task.

There should be a checklist of reasons why some people should never go on a reality show.
Fear of heights? check
Unable to swim? check
Queasy stomach? check
...
Mental disease or drub abuse? Boy, that's a tough choice.

Don't forget drug dealing. Even that may not have stopped RussHell from being cast -- or am I just reading his charming record exerts the wrong way?

Right now, it seems as if the only personality trait which can disqualify you from a reality show is excessive displays of sanity. And that one's a guarantee.

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by Loree on 10-19-09 at 03:45 PM
That is nasty if she has a true fear of heights and he tries to throw her down the slide. By the fact she is wearing water wings makes me think she might not swim either. So add fear of water to fear of heights and she should not have come on the race. But if he claims he loves her he should be more understanding.
"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by CTgirl on 10-19-09 at 04:03 PM
Mika is not a strong swimmer either - she learned to swim for TAR - don't know how much good those water wings will do her when/if she drops into the water at the bottom of the slide!
"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by blueahh on 10-20-09 at 10:32 AM

"RE: TAR15 Episode #4 ECST"
Posted by dabo on 10-22-09 at 00:00 AM
On a bzillion foot waterslide? They probably didn't. This probably goes more toward her just having learned to swim before going on TAR, Mika just finds them more comfortable ridiculous as they are in the situation.

The Leap at The Palm Atlantis in Dubai

"Leap of Faith" Water Slide
The "Leap of Faith" water slide really lives up to its name. It begins with a 90-ft. near-vertical drop from the top of the Ziggurat (pictured above), through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon, and ends feet-first into a small pool at the bottom — what a rush!

Even tho Ski Dubai was extremely cold, it was probably one of the most unique places TAR has used for a RB.
Just thinking if any other team who has chosen to go for the FF has missed out on seeing something that spectacular.
