I have 4/4 for episode titles. :lol3: This is such a Kerri and Stacey title!

And I thought this episode was horribly boring.

I don't know. How is rappelling in a building exciting? There's not even scenic views!

How's flying a helicopter and landing it on your partner's head even interesting?

How's washing a statue even counted as a task?

The only interesting part of the episode was the Salami..... which lasted around 5 minutes and with like only 2 teams doing it.

This episode is probably one of the worst's in TAR history. It's pretty one sided as to who's last or who's first and worst of all, the tasks does not even do Turin, Italy justice! :gaah:

Joab,

I can't agree on the short time for Taste Your Salami DETOUR. I think it took a long time for Brendon and Rachel, although I don't have any idea about Kerri/Stacey. That was a hard DETOUR. They had to taste and memorize at the Gastronomico Salumeria and then walk somewhere that was not in the same neighborhood, then try to name, walk back to Gastronomico Salumeria and repeat that cycle a few times. I am going to guess it took more than 30 minutes, but obviously I don't know.

I do agree that cleaning a statue was a poor choice for a DETOUR because it was too easy.

The "land a mini-helicopter" challenge for the FAST FORWARD looked extremely tricky to me. Maybe the remaining David could have done it quickly (although he would have been foolish to try given the experience Art and JJ had gained on that task by that time).

Rappeling was pretty boring, except for "if you don't get the clue in 2 minutes you have to go back to the top and start over."

Isn't David a helicopter pilot? Or at least a pilot? The hand-eye coordination would have been key in the task, and I suspect David could have completed the task fairly quickly. (Or anyone with experience flying model aircraft or model cars. It would have been the right type of skill for that task.)

I think this would have been very exciting if more than one team had attempted it. There was probably a fair bit of luck involved so it could have gone either way.

Now we do not know what the clue said, but with the benefit of hindsight I say that at least Brendon & Rachel should have attempted it. It was very close so they would not have lost much time, and they had a bit of a buffer since Mark & Bopper team was 1h behind.

That's what he thought but Rachel made him settle for another "utter failure" (AKA second place to normal people) :lol:
