Hello Chippers:

WOW! Only one last episode to go …. the final 4 teams are set ….

The 8th leg of the Amazing Race was another great one … this years Amazing Race is one of the very best and if you haven't been watching much of this season … make sure to watch the Final 2-hour episode this coming Sunday night on CBS …

What can I tell you about the 8th leg …. ok, lets say you had the team of Zev + Justin (the team that had been winning most of the prior races) …. and suddenly they fall way behind the other teams near the Matterhorn of Switzerland.

They were 100% going to be eliminated …... they were that far behind …. it was all over for them ….

But ….

Then there is a team of Goths (Kent & Vyxsin) … who apparently can't read ....

Kent & Vyxsin initially arrived in 3rd, but they incurred a 30-minute penalty for taking a taxi instead of walking from the Roadblock to the Pit Stop as required.
The last 2 teams, Gary & Mallory and Zev & Justin checked in during their penalty time, resulting in Kent & Vyxsin's elimination before the 30-minutes elapsed.

Absolutely amazing ... it clearly said: "on foot" ... so, Zev + Justin makes it into the FINALS.

Here are the chippers who are still in the running for chips in the three seperate chip contests:

Dennis Berry (has two teams still racing ... equally amazing).
Paul Biggs
Mike Skelton
Wes Segni
Jerry Herzog
Derek Bistricky
Richard Jezeski
Andy Hughes
Dan Cooley
Fred Hempel
Helen Fricke
