Amazing Race Oct. 24th Delayed by Football ***SPOILERS***

Oh! I almost forgot another great line. I think it was Jill(?) talking about Thomas and the bridge Roadblock.

“He grew up in the mountains. They do this all the time.”

Huh? I grew up in the mountains, too, and I don’t recall anyone who wasn’t in military training (or ROTC) doing any rappeling. Hiking, yes. Camping, yes. Rappeling, no. It’s not like he grew up in the mountains in the 1910s and there weren’t any roads and you had to rappel down to town from your rickety house-on-stilts clinging to the side of a cliff.

Yes, but Brook seems to assume that all the people in those cool places are also grateful to have her there.

I’m not sure how old you are, but rockclimbing has become a very popular recreational sport, and it involves rappelling.

Watch this week’s Elimination Station. Very interesting.

For those of us who can’t, can you summarize? you got me curious. :wink:

She didn’t just match their speed, she crushed it. When she started the climb, Chad was pretty close behind her, and when she got to the top Chad was much farther behind.

That was interesting. First of all, away from the cover of a loser’s edit, Tony and Ron set my gaydar SCREAMING.

Second of all, I had no idea there was (apparently) some kind of bad blood between Team Volleyball and Team Darker-Oswald-and-Danny. I wonder if it’s because Tony and Ron are black, because they’re gay, or because of some incident that didn’t make the edit on the race itself?

One of the women on Team Volleyball seemed a LOT more into the Race and overall, more of a regular, down-to-Earth woman, while her teammate was fairly unpleasant to everyone she interacted with, including her partner…

(the more attractive of the two was the unpleasant one, FWIW)

I don’t know because Ron and Tony strike me as thoroughly likable people. Really charming, kind, and funny. I mean, maybe they are secretly horrible, but they sure don’t come off that way to me.

Hmmm, Tony & Ron fell behind so far and fast in England, I would think the only interaction between them and the rest would have been in the Boston airport or on the plane to London…

Not only did Tony and Ron fall behind in England, there were on the early flight, with Chad/ Stephanie and Jill & Thomas. American Airlines.

The other 8 teams were on Virgin Atlantic.

I am not familiar with Logan Airport, but a site says that American is in Terminal B and Virgin Atlantic is Terminal E.

So they may have had little to no interaction with Team Gleek, Team Reunited Mom/Daughter, and Team Volleyballers.

That Elimination Station video is funny. But I was hoping the other teams would do their “Waa-waaaa” sounds when the volleyballers showed up.
