The detour isn't 24 hours anymore?

I think that changed several seasons ago

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.

The YouTube hosts finish the Pearl task first, and they'll head to Motu Tapu where they'll find their next clue.

No, you're pretty spot on.

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.

Twins are grabbing the clams 1 by 1... they didn't realize they could untie the string.

Apparently all of Chuck's skills originate from the fact that he works at Walmart :res: :lol:

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.

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

Connor is upset about the possible achilles problem... He doesn't want them to have to quit.

Twins are still having trouble at the detour.

Chuck finishes the roadblock, followed by Joey. Race to the pit stop between Chuck & Wynona and Meghan & Joey.
