S37.E05: It’s Not Personal, It’s Business LIVE CHAT THREAD

[chaifan]

2 teams at the mat, and still 1/2 hour left to go...  doesn't look good for Lori & Scott...

[Rodney]

Carson & Jack are team number two!

Josiah finally finds a match to his decal.

Pops & Jeff reach the Roadblock, and surprisingly, Pops takes it.

Alyssa & Josiah are in third heading to the Pit Stop.

Jonathan & Ana clear Coconuts.

[chaifan]

Jonathan and Ana are giving such the loser edit, I think it's a misdirect and they survive this leg.  

[Rodney]

Meanwhile, Scott & Lori are still doing Coral!

[Pepper the Cat]

Are we having a medical emergency?

[dizzyd]

I approve of the double U, was tired of seeing the same teams up front. Beautiful mat greeters. And 10k, best prize so far. 

[Grizzly]

Now who's whining?

 

And a litter bug!

Scott is a physician's assistant according to his bio. (Nurse?)

I could swear it was something that kept him on the road, that's why Lori had to raise the boys by herself.

Helluva greeting at the Mat!

Reminds me of the entire dance troupe greeting the teams on leg four of TAR14 (when Christie & Jodi shockingly won the leg in Siberia).

The problem is . . . they're being punished for being strong teams. If it were a regular Detour they would have been first to it and not used it (probably). And in the case of Jonathan and Ana, that last gimmick forced them to put a huge target on their backs.

Like I said, I have mixed feelings about this.

[Pepper the Cat]

So Jonathon’s a wimp and he leaves his trash behind for someone else to clean up. He’s dead to me

[dizzyd]

Props to Ana for her patience in the relationship. So 1 sided.

[Browncoat]

And just think, Scott and Lori, if you'd paid attention to the coral from the beginning, you wouldn't have seen Jonathan and Ana finishing the coconuts!

[Rodney]

Scott & Lori are finally cleared for Coral!

But Jonathan & Ana get their clue for Coconuts.  Scott & Lori need to hurry.  They do finish the Detour in last.

[dizzyd]

Let’s go pops. I love this team.

[Browncoat]

Ooooh, what if Ana takes the Roadblock?

[MerBearHou]

Pops did GREAT on the surfboard challenge!  Love that duo.

[Rodney]

Pops finds his decal seemingly fast!  He and Jeff have jumped up to fourth!

Han takes the Roadblock, and she's happy since it involves surfing!

Welcome, Alyssa & Josiah!  You're team number three!

Ha!  Han decides to catch a wave after making her match!  Sweet!

She and Holden are in fifth.

Mike takes the Roadblock.

[Browncoat]

Go, Han, catching that wave.

[Rodney]

Oof.  Mike is taking a long time since he has no range of motion in his legs.

Welcome, Pops & Jeff!  You're team number four!

[Lantern7]

What is that little thing running in the sand?

[Rodney]

Mike finds his match, and he and Nick are in sixth place.

Melinda & Erika reach the Roadblock, and Erika takes it since Melinda is too tired.

Melinda needs to take one soon, though.

Welcome, Han & Holden.  You're team number five!

Whoa!  Erika finds her match right away!  She and Melinda are in seventh.

Welcome, Melinda & Erika.  You're team number six.  Nick & Mike are team number seven, since they got lost en route to the Pit Stop.

"Sixth? We're sixth?"

[Rodney]

Jonathan & Ana reach the Roadblock, and Jonathan takes it.  But he can't get help from the task supervisor.

Scott takes the Roadblock.  They're right on Jonathan & Ana's heels.

[Browncoat]

Dude.  How can you not find yellow buoys out in the water?

[Rodney]

Just now, Quilt Fairy said:

"Sixth? We're sixth?"

They left the Roadblock in seventh.  But thanks to Nick & Mike getting lost, they jumped up to sixth.

[Browncoat]

And no conversation between Lori and Ana at the Roadblock.

[MerBearHou]

Ok, this is sad to see Jonathan like this (and I’m not a Jonathan fan).  And Scott is still peppy.  We shall see how it plays out.

Because they're surrounded by 100 people on surfboards?

I'm not a fan of Jonathan, but I'll give him a break on that.

[dizzyd]

Please let it be true that J&A are out 🤞

[Pepper the Cat]

I really do not want Jonathan and Ana to get this

 

[Browncoat]

I am so stressed!

[Rodney]

Just now, Pepper the Cat said:

Oops.  They did.  Jonathan found his match.  Scott hasn't found one yet . . . until now!

[Pepper the Cat]

Dammit!

[Browncoat]

Well, hell.

[Lantern7]

There will be a lot of crying at the Mat.

[Rodney]

Ooh!  It is close?!

[MerBearHou]

This is just terrible.  Jonathan, not one bit of thanks to Ana, just about his ego.  I cannot stand him.

Edited Thursday at 02:57 AM by MerBearHou

[Rodney]

Sadly, welcome to Jonathan & Ana.  You're team number eight.

[Browncoat]

Dammit, dammit, dammit.  All Scott and Lori had to do was pay attention at the bloody coral!

[Quilt Fairy]

Ah, fuck!

[Rodney]

Welcome, Scott & Lori.  You are the last team to arrive, and you have been eliminated from the race.

[chaifan]

OMG.  Jonathan really believed he could win every leg?  I want him to be eliminated in the most spectacular fashion possible.

[Rodney]

Sad to see the last fully older team go.  Now we only have two teams with one older member on them.

[WatcherUp2]

Jonathan is being such a jerk even when he thinks he's not, bragging how he's better than anyone else.

[Lantern7]

So long, Eight Sons. Sucks to lose a memorable team.

[Seelouis]

Jonathan talks as if he is running the race alone. “My race” “ I could have beat everyone here”. 
and Ana, was “stop crying” how he picked you up at your lowest?

[Lantern7]

Next week: Camels! Skydiving!!!

[dizzyd]

It’s a shame J&A are going to weave their way back up. I just hope they don’t win. I don’t want that attitude representing the winners of this season.
