The only movement on the leaderboard this week was from Team Amazing Bellies. Several teams ahead of them had Abbie & Ryan as their team captains so with their fall, Amazing Bellies was able to move up two spots to share tenth place with Blonde Joke.

It looks like the few people who have lifelines left will be using them this week to replace fallen team as we head into the last few episodes. Use ‘em or lose ‘em!

BuckeyeGal got the highest weekly score! Their prize is $5,000 virtual cash to spend in the Amazing Race Pool Store. They can buy fabulous items like Jaymes and James bowties and cufflinks (a steal at $1,000), 5 pounds of goat cheese and a recipe book from the Beekman Boys ($1,500), all the items James & Abba lost during the race ($2,000), a sheet and comforter set with Natalie & Nadiya on them (in Twinnie size, of course), and many other momentos from this season of the race.

Martin4au will ring up your purchases and gift wrap them for you.

Looks like I will have to use lifeline #2 and change my team captains to my only remaining team - Josh & Brent!

Well, I have not had to use a lifeline all season, but I do now. Please replace Ryan and Abbie with the Twinnies Natalia and Nadiya.

greyhoundmom: Changes made!

BuckeyeGal: Updating your team now!
BTW, you're the only one with a full pool team left. Amazing!

I wish I hadn't chosen Amy & Daniel for my team. I had to use my lifelines way too early in the game. They were too nice for their own good, telling Abbie & Ryan where to find the abacus.

I would also like to bring up Josh and Brent to team captain status as I refuse to even consider a win for Natalie and Nadiya.

Ok, Ariel. You're set!

I had envisioned a scenario where my four original teams would come down to the final four, and then the Goatees or the Subs would graciously bow out and let RocknRoll, Abbie and Ryan, and the team that didn't bow out fight on to the finish.
All I am left with now are the Goatees, the weakest team in my original four. It was a toss up between them and the Subs, but after watching the synchro challenge...
I want to call Shenanigans on the Goatees as well. What happened to their alliance with Abbie and Ryan? All they did to help was make Abbie and Ryan late to the mat in Moscow. I think they should have let Abbie and Ryan move on after the aquatic disaster. Later there were words of encouragement, but we all know talk is cheap.
Here's to single digits for the rest of the series!

Team Amazing Bellies on the uptake!

New avatar, please? <3

I haven't forgotten, Johnny. Just haven't gotten to it yet. ;)
