'The Amazing Race' Heads to the Middle East

Episode 8 of this season's Amazing Race is titled 'Ali Baba in a Suit'.  Im not sure what that means, but we'll find out tonight on CBS. 

We do know that the show moves from Russia to the Middle East.  The teams look to have some tough tasks ahead of them.  In the synopsis, it says one of the racers will make a decision that will impact the team beyond the race.  Can't wait to check it out.

'The Amazing Race' Remains in Ghana

Last week The Amazing Race had an amazing show in the African country of Ghana.  The teams competing appeared to be in awe as we all were watching all the action.

This week they continue to race in Ghana.  The third leg airs tonight and I'm sure we can expect the unexpected.

The nine remaining teams have to put up with some rough conditions and heat exhaustion.  One of the competitors appears to need some medical attention at some point.

The teams have been racing on adrenaline these first two legs since leaving the United States.  Fatigue will start setting in at this point, and teams have to be mindful of who does the challenges and make sure they read their instructions very carefully.

To this point the teams of Brook and Claire as well as Jill and Thomas have impressed me the most.

It's anyone's race at this point, and it only gets tougher from here.
