amazing race season 4 episode 13 season 4 final

the final 3 race to an aboriginal cultural park for a celebration before going to the airport for the sky diving detour (no one chooses the other task which is finding a boat and get to the same place). the next stop is hawaii and the big island kalana bay is the next stop. david/jeff and kelly/jon go to the internatinoal terminal where david/jeff jump the gun and book a flight to sydney with no connection to hawaii and than become a non-factor as they fall so far behind that its not a facor. the other two teams go via tokyo with a tight connection but at least there are more options giving them a big advantage. in sydney david/jeff waste a lot of time asking for flights to tokyo and other things that gives them no chance of catching up just asking flights to anywhere. kelly/jon get the wrong train at the airport so they have to take a latter flight from tokyo but only an hour behind (raichen/chip somehow get into bussiness class). the roadblock is another swimming task to get a rock to open which isn’t hard before going to a volcano park and than fly to phoneix. kelly/jon and raichen/chip are on the same flight to phoneix. with the gay guys getting better seats. after searching a sports ground for the final clue raichen/chip become the first gay tema to win the million dollars. kelly/jon are 2nd and david/jeff well they don’t get to the finish line at all finishing the race in hawaii.

  1. raichen and chip (2nd leg win one million dollars)
  2. kelly and jon
  3. david and jeff (never finish)

next time season 5 one of my favourite teams ever one of my most hated winners a rare consistant all girl team and more.

raichen and chip earned the win on consistancy but weren’t up there much either.

kelly and jon have relaitonship issues but did well to get far.

david and jeff all over the place need to improve travelling.

amazing race season 4 episode 12

3 teams depart brisbane for the australian wool shed to search for a clue that sends them to cairns on the same flight to a wild life zoo. after taking a photo with a crocodile (Kelly/jon fall behind by missing the camera). they race to a beech. for a horse riding detour with david/jeff in the lead as kelly/jon miss the clue. searching for a clue in a bunch of trees on horse isn’t easy but no one chooses the paddling task. the next stop is off road rush for a roadblock of racing buggys in the mud not too hard but jon has trouble and flips over he and kelly are last but spared.

  1. david and jeff (4th leg win) (trip to europe)
  2. raichen and chip
  3. kelly and jon (non-elim leg)

next time finale time phoneix via hawaii and one team makes a monumental mistake.

today’s news 30 january 2024 tuesday

schools are starting to return in australia after the summer break. delta and aeromexicos partnership hsas been suspended. passengers need to turn up more than two minutse before the flight as someone learned the hard way in purteco rico. united to return to athens. greg combet has been appointed head of the future fund replacing peter costello (costello is the most overrated treasurer except maybe josh frydenburg). the lnp need to support the tax changes to help the people who acctually need it. eric abetz has disgracefully won pre selection for the libs in the seat of franklin in tasmanian state parliament while jason falinski might recontest mckellar that he lost last election. the liberals want to tear up the suburban rail link contracts and yet have still attacked labor for doing the same thing on the east west link (which was done in care taker mode and not wanted). negative gearing reform is a must to fix the housing market which is way too expensive and a lot of people are abusing it.

today’s news 26 january 2024 australia/invasion day

australia day has to be changed to bring the country together as it is just a day currently to remind indigenious people of the past pain. illawara stun perth 95-77 in the nbl last night while se melbourne stun sydney 104-98. bendigo beat canberra 93-75 while sydney smashed southside 102-81 in the wnbl. melbourne city beat adeliade 1-0 in the a-league last night. boeing is in trouble for lack of safety with their max fleet again. virgin probably should get the rights to fly to bali more often than qantas/jetstar on all indications. if the liberals repeal labors changes than they continue to be the party of higher taxes as they were under turnbull with his awful last attempt to increase taxes on the poor while cutting on the rich based on a lie as well as other examples like the gst.

  2. ken and gerrard
  3. flo and zach (non-elim leg)

after going to a buddhist temple they fly to honolulu hawaii ian doesn’t get along with the oboking agent so ken/gerrard agree to work with them to fly to tokyo to connect. but flo/zach can only get bussiness in da nang but are able to switch in hanoi to economy and a better tokyo connection which ken/gerrard also get a delay almost evens the teams. after a local blessing they fly to kauii hawaii for a quick drop (bungee jump type thing) they could have walked but no one does. before flying to seattle washington on the same flight and a clue near the space needle. flo/zach get lost but get a cab first there is a roadblock of ordering the animals they saw during the race. flo/zach are the first co-ed tema to win the race desite thinking ken/gerrard are ahead (they are last).

  1. flo and zach (2nd leg win) (one million dollars)
  2. terri and ian

  1. john vito and jill (carribean cruise vacation)
  2. ken and gerrard
  3. derek and drew
  4. terri and ian
  5. flo and zach (non-elim leg)

  1. derek and drew (4th leg win) (european cruise)

today’s news 25 january 2024 thursday

melbourne beat perth 90-76 in the wnbl. a russian plane crashes in remote russia carrying ukraian prisoners. qantas have a new safety video. alan joyce should be in jail not handling companies. the tax cut changes are fairer and much needed. australia day has to be changed to bring the country together once we have a date to change it to a plebercite would probably be the best way. another ex liberal leader steve marshall has quit politics causing a by-election he and the libs should pay for it. trump has won another primary meaning the republican nomination race is all but over. no one should listen to jeff kennett after the damage he did to the public service in victoria as well as the fact he brought my footy team into disrepute in the racism saga (yes i’m a hawthorn supporter) his comments on australia day miss the point.
