Teams' Worst Nightmares
« on: July 05, 2016, 08:55:31 AM »
As we've seen so many different teams race around the world, we've seen teams becoming unlucky or making poor decisions at some point in the race. Here are some examples:

Abbie & Ryan: Frankfurt Airport
Amanda & Kris: U-turn
Tanner & Josh: Justin & Diana :lol:
Ari & Staella:  :badhorse:
Misti & Jim: Denmark Leg

It just has to be something infamous that happened to a team, doesn't have to be their elimination cause.

Laura & Tyler realizing Bergen & Kurt could've potentially left their passports in the middle of a big street.

These are all recent seasons lol.

Early example on TAR5 is Chip & Kim not Yielding Kami & Karli while they were legit fighting for last place in New Zealand. They survived overall because the Kwins were lost, but it was really a big mistake by the former.

TAR3 also has the very very memorable and iconic #dieselgate moment which TAR6 ended up doing with Adam & Rebecca miraculously.

Chad and Stephanie oversleeping by 2 hours (at start of leg) on S17 (luckily caught up with the others in Oman).

TAR24, Jessica & John helping Flight Time & Big Easy with the math in Rome. Logic puzzles were the latters' Achilles' heel in their previous races, JJ would have beaten them easily.

Also, this is not US, but will mention as it is the most disturbing task I've seen on any TAR in the last few years: TAR Canada 5, Bert with the giant cockroaches crawling all over his head, his listed worst fear to a T. Had that scene in my head for a few days after the episode.

One of the best I've seen. On paper they were not memorable, but this scene really left a memory of them.

I find Kisha and Jen's bathroom break in Beijing so hilarious. Luckily they made up for their loss by winning the race in UB.

This! That was a bad time to have a bathroom break. One of the best Chinese legs on TAR.

Man, that was the leg where Kisha and Jen almost pulled everything back together:

They started leg 10.5 behind after the fiasco that was the double water themed detour of the first section, got U-turned, struggled at the Roadblock, were dropped off at the wrong side of the stadium, and had the infamous pee-break, and STILL only lost out on the finale by a couple minutes :(

At least they were able to prove their strength in UB

Not knowing where you are (and looking foolish in front of the little kids in the process) - Nick and Vicky trying to identify Ghana on the map

Foolish moment of Nick & Vicki:
1) Drive us to the Arctic Circle - Talk to a taxi driver in Ghana
2) We are in London!  - answering Phil's question of 'Which country are we in?' during Leg 1 put-stop
3) Vicki outrunning Nick in leg 5 bike detour
4) 'Huh? Fast forward taken? What does that mean?', then going into the house assuming the fast forward task is still available for run
5) Nick dressing as a Russian village woman and being asked for photographs during leg 6 roadblock

They are my favourite team in TAR17!  :conf:
Vicki excelled in all of the physical task was awesome  :conf:
