Special note this week, it is two teams getting eliminated, per promos. And, yes, it is a a stupid twist, but we have to vote for two (2) teams to be eliminated this week. Look at it this way, at least we know it isn't a NEL or Superleg. Rules remain the same, but please vote for two losing teams, and if you need to split your votes respond to your own first vote with your second choice. Not unlike the other times they have multiple elims (SARC)!

The Rules

1. Put the name of your choice for this week's bootees in the subject heading.

This is really easy, just erase the bit where it says "Re: Tar 19 Fans ..." and replace with your vote, i.e. "Twins." This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately.

Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they're really obvious, so please save the nicknames for inside your post and only use their proper names in the subject header.

2. Non elimination episodes.

If you feel there will be a Non-Elimination Leg (NEL) put down "Non-Elimination (or NEL) -- Team name" in the subject header to tell us who you think will finish last. If you feel there will be a continuation of this leg (Superleg) put down "Superleg" in the subject header.

Don't fret NEL stuff this time, it is only included in the rules so I don't forget it in the future; there are two teams up for elimination this time. I copy and paste this stuff. Stupid twist.

3. Reply only to this post.

We like nice straight vote threads around here.

4. Vote changes.

However, if it just so happens that you want to change your vote for whatever reason, reply to your own vote post! Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Ron & Bill."

5. Have fun!

Showin off my win! Thanks Cahaya-wonderful game!

Even though Bill & Cathi are five hours behind, this leg starts off with a flight to Indonesia, where the teams have to go to a place that doesn't open until 8 AM, which allows Bill & Cathi to catch up, speed bump or no speed bump.

This is actually intended as a fast-paced leg once they get into Indonesia, where the speed bump would make a difference. But I doubt that happens, because all the teams supposedly finished by 2 PM. That means that it's more of a "one blunder and you're out" race.

I don't believe they would have spend so much time last week with Kaylani & Lisa, since they were at no real risk, unless their time on the show were to be short. And I can't believe that there weren't any post-Indonesia sitings of Ethan & Jenna in the Race if they were still in. So they're my picks to go.

My alternate pick would be Ron & Bill, who seem like an extremely weak team.

Merci, Pepe for the siggies
