Official Match Thread Season 38, First Preliminary Final: Dragons FFC vs Coney Island Warriors at LJP86's Lair [MOTR]

[Falconista]

Previously on The Amazing Race, the Royals made a strong start to last week's challenge but were pipped at the finish...

...meanwhile the Gumbies may as well have been running on the spot, in their worst performance of this season's competition.


It leaves nine teams looking on, as the eliminated bunch.


So, how many teams are left, Beau?

This week in the penultimate episode, four becomes two as we hit the preliminary challenges. Team Dragons and Team Hawks have both had the week off, so should be fresh and more than up for the challenge.

Standing in the Dragons way are the Warriors, a team desperate for success. They have many who are familiar with heartache in this competition, is this the season they can advance to the decider? They will have to face many obstacles at LJP86's Lair including some Icky caDAVerous locals, brushes with Greenery and copious Dragon gifs.



In the other race, the Demons have had a mostly dominant season. Yet, some mini-lapses have seen them have to navigate the long route to this matchup. The Hawks await in that contest.

Find out on Sunday afternoon which of our remaining teams make it through to the season 38 grand final. In this clash, will it be Team Green or Team Orange who are making it into the Grand Final?

Teams, don’t forget to get those team sheets in by deadline. (11:59pm WST, 12/12/2024)​

Hello Dragons - we trust you're all well-rested after securing the week off earlier in the finals series?

I've enjoyed playing in X wins over you lot to date in my short qooty career.

It would be typical that the one win you blokes and blokettes get is in the do or die match...

Just remember one side has your (former?) husband playing!

So there’s a mild chance I could be involved in beating my three former clubs in the quest to get the Warriors the maiden I promised them.

I like mild. I eat it for breakfast because who wants to start the day all spicy.

Big game Dragons!! Huge game against the Warriors in a preliminary final. We'll need to at our absolute best in what is sure to be a hotly contested game!!

Go Dragons!!

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

So, how many teams are left, Beau TiF?

One?

Oops, I mean four yeah.

 

[Falconista]

One?

Oops, I mean four yeah.

Looking at picture one, you either have to spend less time in the solarium or less time on the terps. You're making Barnaby Joyce look pale.

That was actually when I shopped the big fella onto DenieD 's face.
