OMG Y’all Team Purple, Will and James retweeted my recap on Twitter last week! I literally have the best twitter friends. I’m the only asshole and they are all nice! You can follow me here if you are into Twitter. It is literally the on social media I run myself. And forewarning, I am worse than the Cheetolini about tweeting whatever is on my mind at all times. 🙂
Okay, now I am in my happy place. I’m a bit late to the party but I am going to take my time and enjoy this and not worry about getting it up fast. This is BY A MILLION MILES my favorite thing on TV. I get to travel when I can’t travel. And I can’t stop picking out to places to go too. A friend of mine has a big job offer in Dubai and that may be my first trip. I’ve got to save those 90 days in Europe…until I devise a plan.
Columbia!
Like most Americans I always neglect going to South America. I don’t know why that is. But I am seriously considering moving to Punte Del Este in Uruguay. I hope they go there! But for now they are off to Columbia. Maybe I will travel to Dubai, Morocco and Europe and then settle down in Uruguay. I’ve already prewarned you this will be a travel blog at some point. FYI I think the season we are watching now was filmed in 2018 well before the pandemic… But the next season was shut down after a only three episodes were filmed. 🙁

I am so far behind because I forgot to pull photos and frankly I could not have if I had remembered because we had a power outage today. 🙁 But I pulled a few and now we can all head to Columbia! I want that corn! Meanwhile in real life the sirens are unceasing. I could check NextDoor but am not sure I want to know until tomorrow. It ain’t me and that is all I care about. Maybe the giant owl ate someone.
The Nemocón Salt Mines
Going off to the salt mines I immediately think of my friend that sent me a pandemic package early on and it had fancy salt. I probably should have used it on my porkchops but I feel like it should be used for a special event. lol. Anyway everyone is racing through the mines and trying to pick up an hourglass on the way. The hourglasses have either ten of twenty minutes on them and they can choose another team to delay by that amount of time. Oh, This could get ugly if they use it all on my footballers. Phil is talking about the timer on a yield. I guess there is a yield this leg and that is where the timer comes into play. If they yield someone they use the timer.

YAY! Team Purple gets a 20 minute timer to play! I can’t believe they slept in the salt mine. Wouldn’t there be BATS? Oh! next they are off to find emeralds. That is my type of game. The other choice is to find gold. Suddenly, I am very excited about going to Columbia. Hung and Chee continue to be in first place.
Then It Is Off TO The Circus!
Who doesn’t like a circus? I would totally go to this. I would not however waddle the tight rope. Oh no! I am already worried about Team Purple. They seem to be too trusting of the other teams. Also, I think team footballers are lost. This is a disaster. But people can still play the timer somehow. The girls are all having issues with their taxi drivers. I think it is two sister teams. The footballers make it to the circus first and choose not to yield anyone. Hung and Chee are second and do the same thing. Why make enemies when you are kicking everyone’s ass already?

It has taken me an hour to get twenty minutes into this episode. First they are rolled around in a wheel to get dizzy and then they have to walk across a tight rope holding a bottle of wine on a tray. Then they make them walk back with the wine and two wine glasses. The footballers are the first to leave the circus followed by Hung and Chee.
The footballers tip off Team Purple that it is tightrope walking. And Will and James have a tiff. Each wants the other to do it. James convinces Will to do it because he is a dancer. I am very worried about this argument. And Will is being kind of snappish to him. FOCUS TEAM PURPLE. I AM ROOTING FOR YOU! WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! /Tyra Banks. This does not bode well. But Will kills it. He also tells James to step the fuck up because he isn’t going to do all the challenges.#LoversQuarrel
Customize A What?
The footballers are the first to the next challenge where they have to customize a Volqueta which is some sort of monster truck type of thing? The add all the decorations according to the finished example but the hard part is knowing where the horn goes because it is sort of covered up. LOL I love James. When he gets to this challenge he is all like “Yes! Arts and Crafts!” He names the truck Claudia. Meanwhile, Alana from Team Eyeglasses struggles mightly with the tight rope walking. She drops her wine bottle multiple times. The ninth place team CHOOSE NOT YOU YIELD? No one used their Yield? Idiots.

This leaves the that leaves Team Olympics in last place. They still can’t find the location. But the do and will l probably beat the blond girls. Meanwhile Hung and Chee are still running way out in front. The footballers chased them quickly after. Hung and Chee came in first again and won a trip to Switzerland. Followed by the footballers. Meanwhile, teams struggle with the truck decorating and the horn is tripping them all up. Oh no! Team Purple is really struggling! COME ON!!!! Oh thank God they hooked up the horn! They cry and hug and kiss and head for the finish line!
The Finish Line
Back at the finish line the volley ballers come in third. Eswar and Parma are time number four and I honestly can’t remember seeing them at all this episode until they crossed the finish line. Michelle and Victoria came in fifth. TEAM PURPLE comes in 6th! YAY! And the other four teams can’t figure out that they need to hook up the horn. I just want the dad and son team to make it. Team eyeglasses finally figured it out. And on the way out the told the girl team about the horn and everyone saw them working on it and got to it. Father and son team are in ninth place! I hope there isn’t a foot race with the last place team! YAY! They are team nine!!!!! The two track runners are out. This was a great episode but I feel like I took a hand full of downers or something. Why is my brain so damn slow tonight? I don’t even have wine!
Next week: We go to the Amazon! Please join me.
I was REALLY rooting for Team Olympians! I didn’t get my Olympics fix this summer and so this just feels like a slap in the face.
Yes team Purple, but I’m also enjoying the Footballers dynamic!
Where do you look and find out what countries will let Americans live within their borders? We can’t even get into Canada!
I google things like Best place to retire. Or retiring in Uruguay, Costa Rica, Bali… etc.
We aren’t going to be able to do it soon.
It’s difficult and pricey. Which is why I have always never understood why our southern border is not sealed. THE ONE THING I WANTED THE ORANGINI to do was BUILD THE FUCKING WALL. He could not even do that. Trust me other countries (besides Europe where they have an agreement Are walled off. Every country has border security! It’s not about Mexicans per se it is about SECURING THE BORDERS.
Instead he broke apart families and put kids in cages. Argh let me shut up I’m in a good mood and don’t want to think about it.
I’m a bit drunkie poo right now. I hear ya on what he’s done.
I was googling the cost of living in American territories last night.
At some point, I may consider Puerto Rico. But then, Home Town on HGTV has me also thinking of Laurel, Mississippi – their houses are CHEAP. (I love Erin and Ben)
I don’t see you living in the south. IJS Let’s go oversea!
Yeah, I can’t handle humidity and heat. That is the problem! I wish it was cheap to live in Amsterdam on a boat. (I would LOOOOOVE that. Or near a canal in England.
Last night, my weird neighbor that never picks up their dog’s poop, some how drove their vehicle ( a small SUV) into my front yard. They were obviously intoxicated on something. They were trying in a very scary and erratic way to back the vehicle up, and I was scared they were going to hit my house, right underneath where my children sleep. It was awful and I had to call 911, that is awful. You have to give your name, address, and phone number on record.
You should not have to do that. Just call and report a drunk driver. They will go without all of that.
I had to give my address because I was scared they were going to plow into my building. I called 911 and said “help! This is my address and there is someone driving a SUV in my front yard”.
I didn’t like the Olympians. I am team Purple and team father and son. I really want the father and son team to go far.
Thank you. For some reason I really didn’t like the Olympians either and glad it was them that went home.
Sorry to be posting here, but I’m watching Dr. 90210. This might be my new show to watch.
I’ve been taping doctor 90210 and I’ll watch it but it’s never as good as I think it’s going to be I think because a couple of the doctors have annoying personalities especially the one who was getting my hair treatments for her husband
That guy with the huge growth on his face, that was almost as bad as Dr. Pimple Popper. It started spurting and I was trying not to hurl. I think I’ll leave it off my “must record this” list.
Sweet Jesus, it’s COLOMBIA. It’s not the university. Sigh.
It’s nice that you’re supporting the lesbians. They’re very pretty.
CLOSE ENOUGH! STOP YELLING AT ME!
I’m starting to like you. It’s Colombia!
https://tamaratattles.com/commenting-rules/
Some of y’all need to reacquaint yourselves.
First, I needed the reminder to read the commenting rules. Mostly because I don’t want to break one or more and piss you off unless, I’m really pissed off at something recapped. At that point, I believe I would be rational and remember that this is your site. Who needs a bunch of opinions and people telling you how you should do things. I’m taking a couple of days off from work right now which leads me to my second point. If others are compelled to voice an opinion and act as if they are running the site or comment something that is none of their business yet are essentially guests, they need to be reminded to mind their manners and stay in their own MFing lane. Ohhhhh dammit, will I be in trouble now? I meant to reiterate rather than cause a ruckus. Clearly, I need a break from work and dealing with a bunch of a holes with opinions.
I mean no offense to anyone or accusations! Just venting…
I know, you rule and it’s Columbia if you say so. I also won’t agree with naa because he’s yours.
Reads rules again.
I’ve been reading your site by almost two years now.. love the recaps, love the tea. Thank you so much for recapping the amazing race!! It is by far my favorite show ( and I sadly watch all the bravo shows)… wednesdays are my new fave days… the OC can wait..
Also, have you seen the show marrying millions? Terrible and addicting
Yes I watch but don’t recap Marrying Millions! I just finished an RHOC recap that literally took three hours. Off to do Big Brother. You should comment more often! We have a lot of Jens here so maybe throw in an initial or adjective.?
