Title: EP 9 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Post by: georgiapeach on April 24, 2011, 02:45:20 PM
Even though we are a spoiler board, we do NOT want to have the episode spoiled while it is airing.

If you are watching anything but an EST US feed, it is your responsibility to be sure you are not ahead of us if you want to post in this thread. Canadian and Asian satellite feeds are often way ahead of us.

SO PLEASE ** NO WIKI UPDATES or Satellite Viewer updates** to be posted before the show is done airing East Coast time! Anyone breaking the rule is at risk of being banned. 

Otherwise, come watch with us for the best weekly viewing party in town!! :party:

Live stream videos will be posted weekly if we can find them, links below.  For those who are not on East Coast time, you can follow along and PLEASE help update as the show unfolds! We welcome everyone to join in the fun!! :wohoo:


LIVE STREAMING VIDEO LINKS  HERE  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,24758.msg591111.html#msg591111) about 10-15 minutes before show time.


HAVE FUN EVERYONE!! :bigwelcome

The show is way too fast moving to post anything (added to a lack of anything that's ahead of the US EST feed or a lack of a fast computer).  But it's fun to view the commentary of everyone else in this awesome "online" viewing party.

BTW, peach, your PM box is full

Detour.  Cheese (left side of detour) - Wheeze (right side)  Deliver 20 pieces of luggage to five different hotels.
Zev & Justin, Kisha & Jen choose Fondue...

And of course annoying music to drive you crazy....  Clue is on the bottom.

Justin thinks its crazy...

Kisha says she wont be able to poop for a long time.

Kisha & Jen bald snark.

Actually thinking about it(yeah, I go to Switzerland every summer for the most)

The cheese would take some time since as the time goes on, the cheese gets colder, and it starts to thicken and it would be harder to chew.

But good job for Zev on finishing it quickly! :wtg:

I'd have done Wheeze.  I'm not a big eater -- unlike Zev apparently, since he did well with the fondue.  And we both have Asperger's Syndrome.

Anyway, I smell a U-Turn in Jet & Cord's future.

Part of me is sorry that the Cowboys are gone, but it was a smart move to U-Turn them.  They were the strongest team other than Flight Time & Big Easy left and FT & BE knew the Cowboys were behind.  Still, I'd rather have had Kent & Vyksin go rather than the Cowboys.

Any "bitching and moaning" should please go into that thread, okay??

They went out with style.

But if Justin hadn't helped The Trotters with the RB, it may have been a different result. :groan:

I think the producers shld set a rule tt teams cant help each other except for intersections. I mean, its not fair at all aint it. Everyone except for the cowboys kent/vyxin zevjustin cheated at the roadblock? Its just ridiculous haha.

Mhmm! I was expecting them to use the number on the odometer. If they didn't have to, someone might as well have just taken a pit stop somewhere and googled the result!

If a team chooses to give an answer to spare another team some time, I don't see that as cheating. In the end helping the other teams proved a successful strategy to get rid of the cowboys.

I don't think it was cheating as much as spoiling a task that could've been really difficult and interesting as someone was bound to mess up more than twice.

Trotters & Jen. Lol. Jen said it herself. But she took the answer from Justin. If the roadblock was fair, the cowboys would have been in. Because jen will b the first to re-do the task, followed by jet & the trotters, which will result in the trotters being eliminated unless jet/cord's electric car broke down or something lol.

haha by cheating i meant not exactly doing the task a proper way. I just don't find it fair because the roadblock is MEANT to be fair. It's a task. If teams could give the answer to another team then whats the point of the roadblock in the first place.

I agree. They lost because they performed badly. Same as the TAR16 finale. No cheating. I love them as a team and love the class they left with.

If i didn't see correctly gary got stuck behind a large truck and by the time jet looked back gary was out of his sight. Cos it wouldn't make sense for jet to dump his guardian angel haha!

Post by: apskip on April 24, 2011, 09:28:50 PM
I think Jet made a poor move by not immediately going back to the start point as soon as he realized he had made wrong turns. How could he possibly get an accurate mileage (or kilometerage) if he was off-course. There was no way that his final number could be correct the way he did it, so going to the end with a bad number just wasted a lot of time. I believe that the train schedules throughout Switzerland run approximately once every hour at about the same time (Note: this is definitely true for Visp to Zermatt). So Jet pretty much guaranteed that his team would reach Zermatt at least one hour behind any other teams that got an accurate number.

But if Justin hadn't helped The Trotters with the RB, it may have been a different result. :groan:

I think all the teams helping one another but the cowboys (and Vyxsin rules on her own) sealed their fate. I can say in someway the teams were aligning to knock the cowboys out of the race.. but the cowboys going solo indirectly sealed their own fate too.

I would have hoped for Globetrotters to be eliminated.. but they've been really good sport these few episodes so my love for them is growing.. as compared to Jet and Cord... :(

Gary didn't cheat at the RB I don't think.  Anyhoo... The biggest mistake that the Cowboys made was Jet thinking he was so smart and sneaky and leaving Gary in the dust... Karma baby! Smack in the face at the end.  He should have stayed with Gary.

Wow, I'm actually surprised that Jet and Cord were eliminated at 6th place. I thought they'd be going to the Final 3! One reason I love this season so much - we just don't know who's going.

Yay for Gary and Mallory staying alive! I thought that they were toast at the beginning of the leg when their cab driver was going so slowly and put them in last place. Thankfully, they caught up!

And who'd have thought that Zev and Justin would be doing so well this season! First place four times? Wow. I thought that they'd be gone by the Final 6/7, but they're still here and going so strong.

I'm sad that Jet and Cord were eliminated. Gary and Mallory survived, but Jet and Cord didn't, so my 3 favourite teams have left in a row. Sigh.

The awesome thing is... We don't know who's winning this! It's so hard to tell!

I finished the episode finally

 :'( :'( :'( :'(

I'm mad about how they plan leg 1 and leg 9. allowing potential cheating

someone might still say its not cheating, its helping each other, but the rule about 'if you fail to tell the right answer, you have to redo it' is totally meaningless. for the measuring task, the could have used that device on the bike. I don't blame the teams who helped each other, i blame those who design leg 9.  But after all, Jet made two mistakes: one for getting lost and one for leaving Gary.

But at least I've learned something from TAR 18, its always good to think like a lawyer. play smart!
I actually start to like Zev and Justin, they are really good American people! :hearts:

I think it was a poorly designed leg with respect to the Roadblock, Detours and position of the W-turn.

Roadblock - I like the task, but it is a huge penalty that required and extra 44 km (minimum) for each time you made a mistake.  Had multiple teams got the answer wrong the first time, it would have split the field.  I suspect the TAR Producers hoped for a field split vs. one team being left behind.

Detour - Good tasks because they took a similar amount of time (comparing Zev/Justin and Keisha/Jen)

W-Turn - If 2 teams had been U-Turned, this would have worked much better and given us some drama.  It is sad when a team had no chance to make up any time after being Detoured.

Designing tasks can never account for the skills and behaviors of the racers.

Post by: Dånooky on April 27, 2011, 07:44:39 PM
The rules need to be changed, the cowboys were eliminated due to the winners giving the 22km answer not just to the sister's, but also to a team that had not even completed the task - a lost globetrotter back at the start point.  Then the globetrotter gives the answer to another team.  Cooperation is one thing but giving the answer to teams that have not completed the task!  There should be penalties given.  The Cowboys played the game with honesty and integrity, never having to insult or make snide remarks about other teams.  We can only hope they get another chance one day.
I suggest you read one of the exit interviews the cowboys gave in which they mention they would have loved to be part of the information-sharing. Apparently they only "played with honesty and integrity" because nobody offered the answer to them.


Not a fan of Jets...at all, but I did respect the way he answered that question.  He basically said that he wasnt going to complain about the information sharing, because if info had been offered to him, he would have taken it gladly, so he wont complain that others did.
That's my point, why are the fans so enraged about this whole business? Though it seems kind of appropriate that both times the Cowboys "lost" were due to other teams "cheating", yet nobody complained about sharing info when the exact same thing happened to Ron in India (deciding to do the task himself while other teams worked together).

I think everyones too nice this season. Even if your in the front of the pack, use the frickn' U-Turn. The 3-way team friendship/alliance of Zev/Justin, Kisha/Jen and Herb/Nate annoys me. I think allanices are only helpful during u-turn legs. Gary/Mallory love everyone. Kent/Visxyn are probaly used to being outcasts, unfournatly.
Title: Re: EP 9 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Post by: theschnauzers on April 27, 2011, 10:35:27 PM
The thing is that I can't remember a season where the "information sharing" went to the actual tasks, as opposed to route marker/travel schedule information sharing. And to the extent we've seen this season. True, there have been occasions when a team helped another team actually complete the task, but this season we saw certain teams short-circuiting the efforts required to complete some of the tasks because they were told specifically the answer needed to complete a roadblock or a detour task without having to at least try and complete it themselves.

It's a disturbing development, and it gets away from the expectation that teams should focus on R-A-C-I-N-G.

Post by: georgiapeach on April 27, 2011, 10:43:26 PM
What bothers me is not the info sharing per se...that can be good strategy.

It is that the clue specifically said to use a map and an odometer to arrive at the correct answer.

So using info acquired in another way is NOT following the instructions.

If the clue had said "travel on foot", and someone took a taxi...there would be a penalty.

This seems no different to me.

This is a consequence of having repeat contestants. With the exception of Gary and Mallory, all the other teams have been appearing at various fan events and have gotten to know each other. They have formed friendships and acquaintances and that makes it more difficult to say no if someone is asking for help. Next season, when we get back to first time racers, there should be a lot less information sharing. That will be good because all the sharing of answers has bugged me during a number of episodes this season.

I think the word everyone is looking for is collusion...........but I blame Production for it, not the racers. Good leg design/bad execution.

We as viewers were robbed of a potentially epic RB.......up there with the haybales, the cavier, the Argentine bar b que and the cliff ascending.........WE WAS ROBBED.

They could have made the RB so that only Marco had to look at the odometer. If it didn't say 22km, then they had to go back to the start and have the bike mechanic reset it to 0. Then try again........

They could have done the same with the first RB in Sydney too......just have each team decypher a separate message...........

Lazy, lazy production............shame shame shame. Such a high potential for mayhem and so disappointing in the end.

I agree DrRox, I fully expected to see the moped task exactly that way. The fact that they could scribble down the answer given to them by another player was a surprise. The cowboys elimination aside, it absolutely does take away from the suspense.
I am still interested to see how FT ended up driving by that post office anyway. There certainly do seem to be some fishy elements this year.
