Previously on TAR, teams flew to Seville, Spain, blah blah blah, Dave & Connor won the Achilles tendon Leg, Jet & Cord got the unlucky "boot", 4 teams remain, who will be eliminated
next?

Annoyingly shortened, un-dance-able intro... (:;)

Previously on The Amazing Race...

5 teams raced to Seville, Spain. The Accidental Alliance set a U-Turn plan to U-Turn Brenchel. Brenchel prepared for the inevitable.

Jamal was injured at the detour, so they changed up the U-Turn plan and U-Turned the Cowboys. At the roadblock, Connor had a close shave, helping Dave & Connor win the leg.

The Afghanimals' decision helped Brenchel get 2nd and sealed Jet & Cord's fate.

Tonight, 4 teams fight for a place in the final 3... Who will make it in and who will be eliminated?

This is Seville, Spain, the cultural heart of the country, Plaza de Espaņa is the start of this Leg.

Dave & Connor depart first at 10:39 to London, England and drive to Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, then kick two goals to earn the next clue.

Brenchel argue and depart 2nd.

Leo & Jamal and Caroline & Jenn depart 3rd and last with the same burnbook episode .

Teams are shown arriving at Heathrow and driving in Fords to Liverpool at night.

Dave & Connor depart 1st at 10:39 AM. Make your way to Liverpool, England by train and plane. Once there, they will drive themselves to Anfield Stadium. After lacing up, each person will have to score 2 penalty kicks against a professional goalkeeper.

Brenchel depart at 11:16 AM. Rachel just starts walking and Brendon tells her to calm down lol.

Leo & Jamal depart at 11:25 AM. Jamal can't run at his full speed but he's going to be a trooper. Flashback to them getting eliminated last season in 4th. They want to redeem themselves.

Caroline & Jennifer depart at 11:36 AM. They think this is anyone's game.

Teams are taking the train station to Madrid and everyone is supposed to be on the same flight.

Teams have gotten off at London and they're getting into their cars. Dave & Connor get in the 1st car. Brenchel in the 2nd car. Rachel said she doesn't want any of the team to follow them and leech off of their "amazingness." :funny: Caroline & Jennifer last out of the airport.

Dave thinks he's lost. Brenchel are stuck in traffic. Afghanimals are taking a detour because there was an accident on the freeway.

Afghanimals are the first time at Anfield Stadium! They're both super excited to be getting to do this. Mighty Red greets the Afghanimals as they come out of the locker room. Loving the Afghanimals for appreciating this. Jamal went first and hurt his knee. Leo went and missed the net. Jamal kicked the ball straight. They miss a few more times each. Jamal with the first goal. Leo gets a goal right after.

Caroline & Jennifer arrive at the stadium in 2nd. Brenchel arrive in 3rd. Dave & Connor are lost.

Jamal scores again. 3/4. Leo scores and they're done the task in 1st! Proceed to Pontcystllte Aqueduct for the next clue.

Caroline tells the goalkeeper to be really nice to her. :lol: Funny confessional with Caroline not knowing the word whiff.

Afghanimals leave as Dave & Connor arrive.

Brenchel are starting. Brendon gets 1. Caroline & Jennifer aren't hitting the ball hard enough. Brenchel get 4 quickly. They're done in 2nd.

Dave & Connor get on the field. Connor and Dave both have weak first shots. Jennifer finally gets 1. Caroline gets 1. I'm pretty sure their goalkeeper was being really nice to them... :stare Caroline & Jennifer: 3/4. Dave & Connor: 1/4.

Caroline & Jennifer finish in 3rd. They hug the goalkeeper lol. Connor is not doing well at this lol. He's really uncoordinated. :funny:

Commercial.

Title: Re: TAR 24 East Coast EP 11 SHOW updates and commentary **Please read the rules**
Post by: Polaroid on May 11, 2014, 07:22:28 PM
And we're back with Connor still struggling. Dave's done but Connor isn't. Connor finally gets his 2 after missing a bunch of times. The clue says to drive to Wales. Wales has been mentioned!!!

Afghanimals don't know where to go so they go to a gas station and ask for directions. Brenchel are asking for directions at the same gas station, lol. Caroline & Jennifer are doing well at navigating this leg? Brenchel leave the gas station and Afghanimals are following them. Brendon doesn't want them to follow so he does a quick turn while Afghanimals keep going straight.

Caroline & Jennifer first to get the roadblock clue. Brenchel there as well. Roadblock! After choosing a canal boat, they will work with an instructor to recite the Welsh poem for the 15 minutes it takes to cross the aquiduct. Then they have to recite the poem to someone.

Caroline and Brendon are doing this roadblock. Wow. This looks like gibberish. Caroline: "The craziest language because they hiss at you when they talk to you." :funny:

Afghanimals and Dave & Connor arrive at the roadblock at around the same time. Jamal doing the roadblock. Flashback to the German song from last season! :funny: Connor is doing the roadblock.

The 4 team members who aren't doing the roadblock are getting along??? Wow! This is refreshing! :funny:

This is so funny. Teams just trying to learn the poem and pronounce the words correctly. :funny:

Brendon is going to give the poem an attempt. This is kind of great. Brendon forgets part of it and he has to go relearn it. Caroline is giving it an attempt and she forgets part of it too. Jamal is giving it an attempt. Jamal is trying to be really intense about it... :funny: He messed up. Connor is giving it an attempt. He messes up as well.

Brenchel are first to leave the roadblock. Route info to somewhere? Couldn't hear it. Caroline & Jennifer are off to the location too... wherever it is. :-[

And we're back with Jamal with his 5th attempt. He finally gets it! Connor is going for his 4th attempt. Connor gets it.

FINALLY GIVEN THE ROUTE INFO. Drive to Bolesworth Estate. Afghanimals leave before Dave & Connor.

Brenchel first to arrive at the estate. Detour: Boot It or Shoot It.
Shoot It: Shoot down 16 clay pigeons with a 12 gauge shotgun.
Boot It: Choose a pair of size 9 or size 11 wellies. Fill them with water and throw them along a marked course until they cross the finish line.

Brenchel picking boot because it's really windy. Caroline & Jennifer doing well at navigation. Afghanimals lost and need directions.

Brenchel running to do boot as Caroline & Jennifer and Dave & Connor spot them. UHHHH RACHEL PICKS A PAIR OF SIZE 10 BOOTS.

Teams getting dressed up. Caroline: "I enjoy wearing carpet." :funny: Both Caroline & Jennifer and Dave & Connor are doing shoot.

Afghanimals still lost. Caroline hits the first one. Jennifer misses. Dave misses. Connor misses.

Brenchel still continue throwing the boots, not realizing that they picked up size 10 boots......... :stare

Caroline doing well at this detour. They have 5/16. 6/16. 7/16. Caroline is a beast.

Dave & Connor: 3/16. 4/16. Connor says this was a good stress reliever.

Afghanimals still lost... They got directions.

Brenchel still continue throwing the boots. They're almost at the finish line.

Caroline & Jennifer: 12/16.
Dave & Connor: 10/16. 11/16.

Caroline & Jennifer have got 16! They're done in 1st. Pit stop: Peckforton Castle. The last team to check in will be eliminated. Dave & Connor finish shortly after.

Caroline & Jennifer leave first but Dave & Connor are really close. Caroline & Jennifer pick to go right and Dave & Connor pick to go left...

Brenchel have finished the course... But the guy tells them that they need to do it again... They reread their clue... And they realize that they had a pair of size 10 boots. Rachel keeps saying she didn't know and she didn't know...

And this is why you read your clue... :stare Commercial.

Rachel is crying. Brendon yells at Rachel to stop crying. They have to redo the entire course...

Afghanimals begin shooting. 2/16.

Race between Dave & Connor and Caroline & Jennifer to the pit stop... Caroline & Jennifer got directions and found out they went the wrong way. "Dave & Connor keep stealing our first places! Rude." :funny:

Dave & Connor are team #1. They won a trip to Fiji. They didn't think they would be able to be in a position to win The Amazing Race after the Achilles injury.

Caroline & Jennifer are team #2.

Pit Stop:
1st - Dave & Connor
2nd - Caroline & Jennifer

Brenchel finish the detour in 3rd! Rachel apologizes to Brendon. Afghanimals finish shooting. They finish the detour in last.

Rachel is still apologizing and Brendon tells her to stop. Afghanimals hope someone get lost... Rachel tries asking for directions but no one's at the house.

Race to the pit stop between Brenchel and Afghanimals... Brendon still thinks that they deserve to be in the final even though they messed up with the boots...

And... It's Brenchel! Brenchel are team #3! Rachel starts crying. Rachel says that they have to read the clue properly because last time she messed up by not reading the clue properly lol.

Leo & Jamal are the last team to arrive... And they've been eliminated. They say that they took themselves out both seasons. "No one is going to top our humour, our energy, our fun attitude." :hearts:

Pit Stop:
1st - Dave & Connor
2nd - Caroline & Jennifer
3rd - Brendon & Rachel
4th - Leo & Jamal (ELIMINATED)

Rachel wants babies. :lol: Brendon is a PhD student. Blahblahblah.

Caroline & Jennifer say that people consider them to be a weak team, but they can be surprising.

If Dave & Connor win, Dave will be the oldest person to ever win.

Dave: "We're going to win The Amazing Race... or die trying."

nooooooo Leo&Jamal!
Just like last time, when I started to like this guys, they are eliminated in 4th.

Is so dissapointing that Brendon&Rachel are the only team to be on the F3 twice...
If they end up winning it would be like watching S3 all over again...

It all ends in Las Vegas where the final 3 work with David Copperfield to perform a daring escape.

Dave is smashing something. Brendon is asking a taxi driver to help them out so they can have babies. :funny: Some task with lightbulbs? Teams at the finish line looking up at the sky...

Out of this Final 3, I would prefer Brenchel or CaroJen to win. It sucks we couldn't have a good Final 3 with Brenchel, CaroJen, and Afghans, but overall, it's an okay Final 3.

This episode though was great. Teams were competing neck and neck to each other, and even though the soccer task was lame, the Roadblock was fun, and the Detour was okay.

I would rate this episode: 7/10.

It's certainly in the top half of legs this season, but since most of the legs were "meh", that's not saying much as well.

LEG 11 (Spain --> England/Wales, UK) EPISODE ANALYSIS:
This episode was a sharp shooter for sure as it brought teams to their knees to complete a task... Rachel Reilly. From memorization to accuracy, to navigation to READING YOUR CLUE, this is one of the best penultimate Legs in the modern, local music era of TAR. The soccer free kicks were a correct form of a miscellaneous task as it wasn't extremely mind-boggling or physically demanding. I especially enjoyed seeing the Welsh side of the United Kingdom even though it was only for one task. Overall, this was a pretty cool episode.

ROADBLOCK: (Who's ready to say llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?)
I felt this Roadblock was pretty challenging for the teams as the Welsh pronunciation is very tough to master, nearly as tough as Arabic or Chinese. The one flaw I could say I didn't like is how the teams could stay on the pronunciation pathway near the linguist to recall their memory; the single boat ride towards the linguist would just become unnecessary. Other than that, I really liked the emphasis Jamal put into his pronunciations, but that's just him, not much excitement went on with the task itself.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 7/10

DETOUR: (Shoot It or Boot It)
The final task before the Las Vegas finale were pretty good for a straightforward season. In Shoot It, teams had to explode 16 clay birds. Easier said than done, but there was no running action at all, just stand and aim. I'd expect better tasks after 23 seasons of TAR. In Boot It, teams had to throw a size 9 or 11 pair of boots across a certain long distance to receive the next clue. I really enjoyed seeing Brenchel as the only team to perform this task as there was running, tossing, and possible mistakes involved with shoe size and task longevity.
DETOUR SCORE: 8/10

OTHER SCORES:
LEG DIFFICULTY: 7.5/10
TEAM DRAMA: 7/10
JAMAL'S EMPHASIZING ON THE WELSH POEM: 9/10
RACHEL R. AND RACHEL V. FINALLY HAVING A BREAKDOWN: 1/10
OVERALL SCORE: 8/10

Yo! Just watch the episode, son!!!!
And I say boo hoo!!! Boring!!!!
Except for the part when Brenchel led the Afghanimals ashtray  :funny:
Lmao!! Good one, The BrenchelSSS!!!

The blondes messed up yet again, another first place
Oy! Ain't that something new eh?
If they don't win the final leg then  :groan:
They're leaving with zero money and a bunch of haters
Enjoy that, Son!!!

Accidental alliance was officially a BIG FAILURE
 :wohoo:
Their goal was to send the BrenchelSSS home before the finale
And Brenchel was still around
Also, they won't be on the sidelines watching the final 3 finish,
They will finish the race themselves, AGAIN!!!!
 :yess:

I am so happy that prior to the season I said I would probably root for Brenchel only bcause the other teams were all messedup, and apparently, I wasn't entirely wrong

Btw
Jennifer (of the Blondes) just recently was in a twitter war with some of her haters for a while, yet she responded to all of her supporters that she's "ignoring" the haters.  :funny:
Jen, define "IGNORE"!!!!

Rachel was probably watching that while sipping her drink smirking lol!!! I know I do.
Ooh also, someone who said Rachel needs to be helped with physical challenges is probably headless lol, Jen!!!

Oou btw, Connor has done the last three RB so far
That sums him up to 7
And Dave was still at what, like 4???

Dave was supposed to do that last RB
Connor already hit his limit.
They should be penalized
If he said it was because his age that he had this benefit...
I swear to God I will rip his head off and send it back to the 1800s when he was still "not-old"

So what, If there's a double RB in the finale then Connor would be at 8
Is that even fair?
Anyone venture to explain???
It's the end of leg 11 what kinda player still has his RB count at 4????

Note: This is a hate letter. You can not read it because I will probably cause some irritation among this forum's netizens.

It was a great episode. I was anxious, stressed, and on the edge of my seat for the most part. I'm just so ... so ... MAD that Dave & Connor won another leg! And steal it from Caroline & Jennifer no less! By GOD I hate Dave & Connor so much. Dave & Connor's edit is basically the following:

* They both survived cancer
* Dave tore his achilles (both score pity points early on, but it gets old FAST. And speaking of old...)
* Dave is sooooOOOOOOooooo old :res:
* Dave is doing it for Connor (c'mon, no one is buying that anymore :res: )
* Dave & Connor's hatred for Brendon & Rachel

If they were fake TV characters, I'd be wondering why the writers haven't put them on a plane and crash it into the Andes (unless they were the primary antagonists, of course). Also WHY THE F****NG HELL were Dave & Connor not penalized for not being even a bit CLOSE to being even at the RB count! Is CBS actually conspiring to let the season's villains win it for the first time!?

I REALLY REALLY hope that either Caroline & Jennifer (prefered) or Brendon & Rachel (just as good) would win! :hoot: By the way... how credible is the spoiler from the other site that says you-know-who won? Is it basically guaranteed?

I actually think that the editors intended for Cancer to be the Heroes and Brenchel to be the Villians but unfortunately it backfired badly. Like I didn't think I'd see the majority of the casuals turn on Cancer and sympathize with Brenchel.

Why should they get penalized? If Connor already hit the limit of RB count, the production team should add the line: Dave must do this RB for that Poem RB. If not, they can do whatever they want.
So sorry but they did not say any thing about the age for the reason why Dave did not do that poem RB. They decided that Connor should did it because at that moment, they were the last place and they thought that Connor would do it better.
You guys need to blame the production team, don't you?
I agreed that Dave talked about his age too much but they actually did not get any benefit from that.
And for people saying they stole the first place from the country girls, it is not the footrace and they did not do any dirty move. It is not their fault for Carojen going to the wrong direction.

Why should they get penalized?

They should get penalized because it's against the rules.Yes, It wasn't explicitly stated on the clue, but it's always been the rules. One team member can't perform more than 6 RB unless both already hit 6 and there's another RB to be encountered. Everybody knows that.

Why now that Dave and Connor were at this particular counts and the conditional warning on the clue just suddenly disappeared? Why, the previous 3 seasons ALWAYS had this warning, but now with Dave and Connor, it's just ... puff! Gone!

Marie from last season had to perform the last 2 RB prior to the finale leg because she forced Tim to hit his limit in Leg 9. And guess what? That limit was 6. Same case for Mona and Beth. Why now Dave and Connor just magically escaped this mandatory consequence? Does production change the rule and add the limit? Because that's the only reason I can come up with.

I mostly blame the production on this one. But again, us fans can't speak much when it comes to production. It's their "business" after all. Maybe they "forgot".

as for Dave and Connor, I know the clue doesn't say it but would you just finally be a good sport for 1 sec and do the RB? I bet they both knew Dave must perform the RB, but because the clue didn't spefically stated it, they played dumb and thought "okay,Connor! You can do this one".

Seriously, man! you were at 4. Leg eleven is over and you were at 4!!! Wynona, was at 4, for crying out loud!!! Suck it up a little!

Yup exactly. All I care about for now is that if there's 1 RB on that Vegas leg, both Brendon and Caroline are still eligible to perform it.

If the clue surprisingly said "Dave, Rachel, and Jennifer MUST perform this Roadblock!" ... I'll be so livid cause you just know who they are rigging this for.

I'm all up for the conspiracy that production changed the rules for Dave & Connor! (I know they didn't [I hope] and it was just Dave & Connor using one giant Loophole Abuse). That whole RB disparity just aggravates me to no seeming end.

I know right! :gaah: If they want a parent-child team to win, they should just do what they did for all-female teams (put 4 or more in one season) and not drag one team and make exceptions when things starts to go south.

But it seems that there are two Roadblocks. One is the David Copperfield one (see Caroline holding a red clue while hugging him) and the lightbulb one (I think only Connor is doing it but I might be wrong).

This leg was GREAT! I :hrt: any time they visit the UK. (Being biased as I live there) :lol:
I still prefer Leg 6, but don't know why though? ???

It was just a pity the Afghanimals got lost, because they would've beaten Brenchel hands down if they had the right directions.
Just like last season they went from 1st to last.  :groan:

Like everyone else, I too am rather pissed with Connor being allowed to do 7 RBs, but I'm not even gonna let it bother me, because there's really no point.  :lol:

I'm praying Vegas will save this season and be a deserving Final Leg, plus having David Copperfield, and a Skydive challenge that hopefully turns out as good as it looks in the preview, can't really hurt... Can it?  ???

We have no way of knowing if one of the apparent Roadblocks isn't being counted as part of the limit, whether the limit was higher for some reason (could be that there was flexibility this time because of Luke and Margie being cast among other things) or whether there just wasn't a limit.
I tend to think that given the effort all the teams made to keep a fairly even split until Connot did these last three roadblocks, that there was a minimum number limit this time, rather than a totally equal as possible rule as has been the case since season 6. Otherwise, we'd would have seen some sort of penalty, or instruction, or something. But given the behavior of the teams, I tend to think there was some version of that rule in place, but one that is different from what we've usually seen.  It would be a good question for someone to ask.

Haven't we had a 7 roadblock rule for awhile to account for the Express Pass and the FF? ??? Seems like we settled this the last couple of seasons.

I remembered it was 7, 7 too. But also remembered that in order to keep both team member alternating between a 2 RBs finale, producers will ensure that the team member who's at 6 RBs already to NOT do the penultimate leg RB so that the ratio can be even going into the finale.

Unless this has been changed, either Dave has to do all the RBs in the finale (2?), or there's only ONE RB and Dave will be specifically instructed to do it, and therefore it doesn't matter if Connor has hit 7 already.

Peach, it's been 7 when there were a total of 13 roadblocks. Have no idea what TPTB do if there are 2 RBs on the last leg (when there's supposed to be a "each one does one" instruction, presumably based on past legs) and one of the Racers is already at 7.

in season 16 , Brent and Caite got a 7-5 split as well,
though Brent's 7th RB was on the final leg..

Just caught up on the episode online. That was a crazy leg! Simple challenges but still dramatic and a lot of position changes.

After watching the Once Upon A Time finale last night and now just seeing the promo for the TAR finale where a team skydives into the finish line, I think I might have a heart attack. Too much craziness for me to handle.

Caroline and Jennifer are the ONLY team to go to all four countries in the UK!

I have to admit, I am surprised to see Jen & Carol make it to the Final 3, as I kept thinking, they would be the next team eliminated. They never seem like a strong team at all.

Brenden & Rachel have gone through the race twice, and not have to be Philiminated at all. Only one other racer holds that distinction. I guess never being eliminated is some kind of consolation prize for the 2nd and 3rd place teams. 

This Vegas finale better be good, because the last one in LV, really sucked balls.

I will be glad when this season is over, and it's back to new blood.

The thing that amazed me most about this episode is that they went to Liverpool and there was not the slightest hint of anything about the Beatles. I would have been OK with that, but I'm happier that they went in the other direction.
