In the last episode of The Amazing Race, it was a close finish. Mika was too scared to go down a six-story water slide—despite Canaan's attempts to shove her down—and the Globetrotters pulled out the psych-out playbook, got inside her head and slided down to victory. Meanwhile, the poker pals-hot guys alliance was stronger than ever, with the teams helping each other out, and the beautiful blonds scored their second consecutive win. Six teams remain. Will the beautiful blonds continue their winning streak? Which team will get psyched out in this leg of the race?

In last week's episode of The Amazing Race, the teams headed to Dubai to visit the the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building; the desert; and an indoor ski resort complete with snow. A hot guys-poker pals alliance proved beneficial to both teams, as the gals helped the boys in the desert and the guys stuck with the ladies when their car broke down. Meanwhile, the beautiful blonds fast-forwarded to first place with a speedy task at the Dubai Autodrome, but the others weren't as lucky. The bickerers' lack of speed and direction got them eliminated, which leaves seven teams in the game. Will the beautiful blonds coast to another victory? Will the hot guys continue to trust the prone-to-bluffing poker pals?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, beloved sweeties Zev and Justin were riding high when they were the first team to arrive at the pit stop. But then the BFFs hit the lowest of lows when they were disqualified for a missing passport. Their misstep saved the poker pals once again. The case of the missing passport was solved when the sweeties went to the U.S. Embassy, where the document was waiting for them. The guys surmised that when they entered a dark temple, Justin took out a head light and the passport must have fell out with it. Will any of the other teams slip up this leg of the race? Will the poker pals' luck finally run out?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, it was all about fathers, as senior Marcy got emotional being in Ho Chi Minh City, where her Air Force general dad was shot, and Globetrotter Big Easy revealed that his pops died two days before the race. He made good progress on his promise to win it all for his dad by coming in first that leg. The victory brought the towering buddies so close, Flight Time says, that he launders Big Easy's socks and undies—that's either really sweet or utterly gross. But we had to say farewell to the seniors. Nine teams remain. Will the poker pals get out of their slump? Will Lance make good on his threat to wrestle Phil at the pit stop?

On the season-opener of The Amazing Race last week, beautiful blond boyfriend-girlfriend duo Cheyne and Meghan won the first leg of the race, and Pinky and the Brain, a.k.a. Matt and his dad, Gary, were victorious on the second leg. Meanwhile pro poker pals Tiffany and Maria made some enemies when they lied about their background to get the edge. Did the poker ladies' play pay off or was it bad strategy?

This week, it's the big season finale. We have a few spoilers, so don't read any further if you are playing catch-up with your Tivo. Will the Island blow-up?

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: Follow The Leader

May 7, 2009 at 1:06 AM | by Todd | 0 Comments

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, we get lots of action and less head scratching. We're finally getting some answers, kinda. Last episode, Eloise shot her son, Daniel Faraday, not knowing that he was her son and also from the future. Jack and Kate get dragged into camp, and try to explain their preposterous story -- which Eloise believes. Richard Alpert busies himself at the top of the episode by building a model ship in a bottle. Since we know you've been dying to learn the secrets of building unlikely things inside bottles, you may want to check out eHow's step by step explanation of how to make the magic happen.

With some of the best racing in recent memory, these last few episodes have us amped up for the finish line. Last week, teams ran headlong into a continuation. Jaime and Cara made it first to the checkpoint and were told to keep racing. Margie and Luke were second with Tammy and Victor in third. Kisha and Jen brought up the rear, and instead of being eliminated, were told to keep racing. This week, there's another U- Turn in play, with a spot in the final three at stake. All four remaining teams are strong, competitive and want to win. Who can tough it out long enough to secure a coveted spot racing in the finale?

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: The Variable

April 30, 2009 at 1:06 AM | by Todd | 0 Comments

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, LOST drops a couple of big bombs, like how Eloise Hawking is Daniel Faraday's mother, and that Charles Widmore is his dad. We can't think of a worse parental combination. So, if it's true, this would mean that Penny Widmore is Faraday's half sister. The episode is titled The Variable, which is a reference to the human beings on the island. The equations remain true, it's the variables that change the outcome.

There are a couple of flashbacks that take us back to Oxford after Faraday has graduated. He and Eloise grab lunch at a local Indian restaurant near campus. If you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for some great Indian food, we found this handy list over at In Oxford Magazine.

We are down to only four teams as we edge nearer to the big finish. After last week's conflict between Luke and Jen, will both teams be able to focus and get beyond it, or with their distrust fuel more ill will? Tammy and Victor have a language advantage, but will their verbal skills be able to help them stay ahead when it comes down to some very physical challenges? It's getting down to the wire and the stakes are getting higher and higher. Which team has what it takes to make it all the way to the finish line to win one million dollars?
