Hello Chippers:

The 4th leg of the Amazing Race concluded on Sunday.

An emotional one, where Margie + Luke got eliminated as Luke wasn't able to pick the correct tea at a "Roadblock". Luke blamed himself for the loss and cried in his mothers arms [made me wish this was a non-elimination leg of the Race]. The winners (for the first time) of this leg of the race was Gary + Mallory. The most consistant team so far has been Lakisha + Jen (never first but never in trouble of being eliminated) and is my early pick to win at the end.

This is the first time I am running a chip contest. I hope you are enjoying it and these updates.

Below is the standings after the 4th leg of the Amazing Race and the chipper who has been eliminated from the 3 different chip contests. Hope you don't see the face beside your name.

Position after Leg 4 of AMAZING RACE:

1) Gary & Mallory Father / Daughter
2) Jet & Cord Brothers / Cowboys
3) Ron & Christina Father / Daughter
4) Zev & Justin Best Friends
5) Kent & Vyxsin Dating Goths
6) Lakisha & Jen Sisters / Coaches
7) Flight Time & Big Easy Harlem Globetrotters
8) Margie & Luke Mother / Son *ELIMINATED*
