Previously on The Amazing Race...

Teams learned about the double Express Pass twist. At the Tahiti Airport, the teams on the first airport made an alliance. One roadblock sent people soaring out of a helicopter, and the other... well, searching for clues under sandcastles.

Jessica & John won the 2 EPs.

Katie convinced the last 2 other teams to quit the roadblock and take a penalty. It was a race to the pit stop and Matt & Daniel sank. Max & Katie and Caroline & Jennifer received 4 hour penalties, but survived. Matt & Daniel were eliminated

10 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

LOL. Wynona before the intro. "Where are my kids when I need them?" :lol3:

Jessica & John will be the first to depart at 2:56 a.m., head by Water Taxi to Motu Toopua Nui, find the Hilton, search the grounds, then to a wedding chapel where they will get a blessing.

Jessica & John depart first at 2:56 AM. Travel by water taxi to Motu Toopua... what. Then search for a wedding chapel to get blessed! Hours of operation: 7:30 AM. John for the title when talking about the alliance.

And fast forward. All teams are waiting for the water taxi. David & Connor are asking about the EP... John & Jessica don't really want to give it to them so other teams will suck up to them LOL. Mona/Beth and Meghan are talking about people sucking up. Chuck & Wynona sucked up to them. Mona is sucking up now LOL. Meghan says she will not suck up to them! :hearts:

Caroline & Jennifer and Max & Katie still haven't arrived at the bunch up.

Teams are now taking a water taxi. Eww. Bates... or Anthony revealed the huge gap in his front teeth.

Jessica & John go the wrong way. Wynona: "We're old as dirt!"

Dave & Connor arrive at the chapel first. They get blessed. Jessica & John are right behind them.

Detour: Pick a Pearl or Take a Trunk?

Pick A Pearl: Untie lines of shells and shuck them open to find 2 red pearls. Then swim to the pearl farmer for their next clue.

Take a Trunk: Dive and find a treasure trunk. Take it to an umbrella, remove the contents, and create an underwater dining experience. I like this. :lol3:

Dave & Connor, Jessica & John and Bates & Anthony are all doing pick a pearl... Both detours require you to pick a bag of stuff needed... Dave & Connor just pass by it. Jessica & John and Bates & Anthony get it. A bunch of other teams get the detour clue. Most are doing pearl.
Title: Re: TAR 22 Ep 2 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary ** read impt notice**

Pick A Peal is quite cool
Title: Re: TAR 22 Ep 2 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary ** read impt notice**
Post by: Polaroid on February 24, 2013, 07:17:09 PM
Dave & Connor think they're in first but they don't have their diving material... Jessica & John tell Dave & Connor they didn't get their stuff. And that's why you read your clue, lol.

Bates & Anthony, Jessica & John and Joey & Meghan start doing the pearl detour. Hockey players: "Even with our brains, two is better than one."

Mona & Beth are the only ones doing the treasure detour. Mona & Beth talk about how cool all the fish and scenery is. They're somehow communicating underwater.

All the teams are doing their detour except for the teams who have the penalty and Dave & Connor. Dave & Connor get their snorkel gear and they're going back to the detour.

Twin troubles. One of them is afraid of water and wants to take a penalty... The other doesn't want to take the 6 hours.
Title: Re: TAR 22 Ep 2 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary ** read impt notice**
Post by: Polaroid on February 24, 2013, 07:18:08 PM
Joey & Meghan get 1 red pearl.

Twins arguing about doing detour or quitting.

Jessica & John and Bates & Anthony also have 1 red pearl.

omg twins are taking the penalty??? Commercial.

As much as Jamil and Idries are afraid of water... they really should not take the penalty. 6 hours is a VERY long time and I'm SURE they could complete it under that time.. they're making a big mistake! :groan:

I don't think they've officially taken it yet. They'll probably just decide to do it after the commercial, lol.

Post by: Declive on February 24, 2013, 07:21:06 PM
The pearl seems to be the hardest one. The other one , you can actually breathe inside the water . The twins would kill it as i think ANY team could kill that Detour. Go Mona and Beth! Good choice.

Sometime between season 15 and 17 the penalty was changed to only 6 hours. Nick and Vicky were penalised 6 hours while quitting in Hong Kong.

We're back. Twins still talking about the detour. Idries convinces Jamil to do it...

Max & Katie are 1.5 hours behind because of the hours of operation.

Pam & Winnie are talking about their ocean difficulties, lol. Wynona goes in the water because she feels like she's not being helpful.

Dave & Connor found 1 red pearl.

Joey & Meghan got the 2 red pearls first! Jessica & John got them after. Bates & Anthony quickly follow. Chuck & Wynona find 1. Pam & Winnie find 1.

Joey & Meghan finish the detour first! Proceed by personal watercraft to Motu Tapu using a map.

Dave & Connor finished the detour really quickly.

I almost said it after last week's show, but why oh why do you find out you've been picked to be on TAR and fail to make sure that you can:

1) Drive a manual transmission car
2) Swim at least well enough to get around a swimming pool?

I'm not watching currently, so I may be missing the flavor of it all, but Idries and Jamal are looking like a complete waste of time as a team so far.

Mona & Beth are setting up their cute little underwater dining experience. This is so funny. :lol3: The waiter was dressed in a little tux under water and gave them their clue.

Max & Katie depart at 9:14 AM. Caroline & Jennifer depart 1 minute after.

Twins have barely even gone under water.

Chuck & Wynona done the detour. LOL @ CHUCK GETTING WYNONA IN THE WATER TAXI.

First 4 teams have reached the water taxis. Joey & Meghan start their jet ski ride. Jessica & John follow, followed by Bates & Anthony. Dave & Connor are close behind.

Max & Katie get blessed at the chapel. Caroline & Jennifer are right behind. They're both going to do trunk so Katie can know where her competition is at.

James & Irdies still having trouble. Lots of trouble. Pam & Winnie finish the detour.

Max thinks that it's a competition with Caroline & Jennifer. Max is skeptical about pursuing a friendship with them.

Pam & Winnie start jet skiing. Twins are still doing the detour.

At Motu Tapu... Roadblock!

Roadblock: Use stilts to kick a coconut 35 yards across the beach. If they stumble, they have to restart but their coconut can stay. Once they finish, they can make their way to the pit stop.

Joey does it. Jessica does it. Connor does it. Anthony does it.

Pam & Winnie got lost on their jet ski. Really lost.

Caroline... or Jennifer has never seen the thing you put on your head under water before... LOL. ok.

Mona & Beth and Chuck & Wynona arrive at the roadblock.

Connor and Anthony are doing well at this roadblock. Anthony finishes the roadblock and Connor finishes right after. They're running off to the pit stop. Jessica finishes shortly after.

Race to the pit stop. Dave says he just ruptured his achilles on the run to the pit stop. Hockey players on the mat first, followed by father/son. Jessica & John arrive shortly after.

I'm thinking the planning was that there could be teams that wouldn't finish before it was dark and those team(s) would be forced to quit. Thus, the 3 am release of the first team makes complete sense, and the HOO for the chapel and the water taxis would bunch the teams back up.

Max just put his foot on the gas and kept going. Caroline & Jennifer follow from afar.

Twins figure out the treasure chest roadblock is much better. LOL.

Pam & Winnie arrive at the roadblock. Pam does the roadblock. Pam: "It's just like wearing heels."

Max is doing the roadblock. Caroline is doing the roadblock. They've caught up with Pam & Winnie. Caroline finishes the roadblock first.

Twins finish the treasure chest detour quickly. They hope that they can finish the next challenge quickly or it's an NEL.

Pam is struggling with the roadblock. Winnie: "You sound like an idiot!" Pam is finally done the roadblock! They're team #9. Pam & Winnie are really happy about that.

Twins are the last to arrive... They've been eliminated from the race. The water killed them.

Pit stop:
1st - Bates & Anthony
2nd - Dave & Connor
3rd - Jessica & John

8th - Max & Katie
9th - Pam & Winnie
10th - Jamil & Adries - ELIMINATED

Normally Leg 2 is horribly designed and really predictable/boring. HOWEVER strangely enough they managed to get lots of drama this ep so I'm happy! :)

I really want to go jet skiing and scuba diving in Bora Bora after seeing this leg. :hearts:

Two M/M teams eliminated in a row and the cancer survivors are trying to survive with a broken achilles plus it's only the second episode? New Zealand should be REALLY good.

Two episodes in and I'm loving this season way more than 21 (not like I actually loved 21..)

Joey & Meghan are growing on me. I wish they had gotten 1st though.

The sucking up to John/Jessica though :res:

We're seeing a lot of team interaction, which is great!

I actually really like all of these remaining teams! The first two boots were great!

Note to self: DO NOT believe anything Pam and Winnie "not Asians" are reported to say. :lol3:

To be fair, they said that in a being-sarcastic moment to joke with the Docs.  It went something like "we're not twins haha, and we're not Asian, haha"

I was not actually watching this happen (staring at the floor in an uninterested way) so I lost the true meaning.

Winnie made the "Pam has a problem she needs you to look at joke" instantly.  She's sharp by that account.  :tup:

Katie : Girls lets work together!
The Blondes : Yeah
On the ship, The Blondes's ship went first
Max : The blondes, they threw us under the bus the second they got the chance to. Well now we know we can't trust'em at all
On the other ship
The blondes : It's good that we work together with Max&Katie. Hopefully we'll catch up to the other teams  :<3 :<3 :hearts:

Me :  :crazy: :lol3:

Max annoyed me this episode. He's getting all analytical and crediting himself for everything and ill that and I'm just like man you're in 8th place can you chill out a little bit!

I think he's just being paranoid. When the blondes passed'em after they retrieved the detour clue, they were in fact currently in LAST PLACE at that time.

What suprised me though is that these two along with the blondes was only 6 Hours behind John&Jessica. I thought they were like 9 or 10 hours behind.

The bunch was very contrived! :lol3:

Teams would have saved a ton of time if they were allowed to walk to the priest. The water taxis took them once around the island! Map here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,28458.msg843313.html#msg843313).

I'm surprised they decided to take the 6-H Penalty so quickly. The other two teams are like...3 hours behind , right now?

It was 1 3/4 hours behind, as Max/Katie started at 914am and Caroline/Jennifer at 915am and the other teams could not leave the dock until 730am.

I observe that David/Connor wasted a lot of time by going back for the snorkel gear. They could have just switched at no penalty to the Take a Trunk DETOUR. If they could handle snorkel then that scuba gear should not have been a problem.

Whats even funnier is that after chuck dragged wynona to the watertaxi, read the clue, then dive again. Lol

It was actually a decent episode, though it always looked likely that the eliminated team would end up last on the mat.  Incredibly stupid of them not to go to the other detour quicker, it looked like it was in the same area and other teams had been penalised so they had time to switch.  Despite the editing to make drama of the 'asian' team getting slightly lost it really wasn't that close at all.  While several of the teams seem bland (the usual wealthy bland American suburbanites) there have been some reasonable tasks so far.  Maybe they could have forced teams to start the stilts tasks again once they had fallen down, they would have have probably done that in earlier seasons where tasks where harder.

Approximate sunrise for Bora Bora on November 15 is 5:25 am (http://www.shootingonlocation.com/filmlocations/french-polynesia/vaitape-bora-bora/vaitape-bora-bora-sunrisesunset-november.php).  They could have started the water taxis earlier.

Pam  & Winnie lost a lot of time motoring about.  Most of the teams ahead of them had checked in by 9 am or so.  Pam & Winnie were doing the Roadblock at noon with the last teams who had the 4 hour penalty (effectively reduced by the late water taxi hours of operation).

Many teams could have finished by 9am, but Max/Katie did not start until 914am and Caroline/Jennifer until 915am. They cannot have finished much before 1045am. We know that Pam/Winnie finished after them.

My comments on the ep:

Firstly it was an epic leg in general <3

Loved both tasks <3

My favourites ATM are Team Youtube, Maxie, Chuck & Wynona (Wynona was EPIC this leg) and of course the Asians who IMO are just epic (even though I'm probably the only one who's fave team this seaon is the Asians)

CBS better do more island legs like this that are truly wonderful <3
