That cube puzzle was so simple yet so cruel.

How did Yossi & Udi build that puzzle upside-down?

Sad and surprised to see Yossi & Udi leave.

Yeah, I hate seeing my favorite team of the season get eliminated. I don't want to say I've lost interest, but now Daniel and Eliyahu need to stay in long enough so I don't have to rely on my alternates. At least TAR30 starts soon so I can double dip. But damn, my spirits are low after watching Yossi and Udi leave. From first to last on the final task. :(

Well, well, well...! Has anyone here seen MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge? If so, I'm sure you found that Water Lily task somewhat familiar! Hahaha!!

Also, my goodness, that cell phone task is pure brilliance. I love the creativity of the task designers on this show so much!

^^The show has had a lot of creativity this season especially in putting its own twist on tasks we've seen (TAR 20 land sledding & TAR 12 high wire bike).

Or

They go for the absurd. The Roadblock was pretty creative though the punishment was just weird. Guessing the producers are happy Neta is still in the race due to her reactions.

Regev & Michael Jackson :lol:
Neta & Omer's Rocky moment :lol:

So, I guess it seems like this season is a bit of a dud, huh? That's a shame, though it is still more amazing to watch than any given season of any other TAR. Compared to the previous five, though, it's a bit stagnant. I blame the really dull cast. Yossi & Udi and Nimrod & Yonatan were the only interesting ones, to be quite honest.

Still loving a lot of the tasks, though.

Should be alright here as there is no spoiler, but I'm eager to see where they go after Colombia :) Just to say there were a lot of question marks on the destinations past this point.

Are Anne & Yarden the only source of a full intro this season? They love singing it.

I gave a pass to the Hawaiian shirt task due to some attention to detail. The panela task was straight up luck.

How did Regev & Helen pick the correct panela on their first pick?

Are NELs nonexistant? Poor Mor & Mor.

This is clearly not going to be a 13-leg race as the Wiki page still says.

I like the sound of that next destination!

Well, if leg 7, 9, and 11 all end up being NELs it could

TAR 3 and 4 both had 12 teams and 13 legs, and neither had an NEL until leg 8

Ugh.

First of all, you cannot possibly imagine the amount of pure, unfiltered hatred bubbling inside of me when Helen found the race marker on her first damn try during the panela challenge.

Second of all, there seems to be a LOT of luck based tasks taking place directly before the Pit Stops, and that drives me crazy. It's such a poor choice, design-wise. It makes pretty much the entire rest of the leg meaningless because literally anyone can win the leg or arrive in the top three (see above complaint)

Third...I don't like any of the teams that are left. I lost Nimrod, Yossi and now <spoiler> all in a row. It's TAR19 all over again. Why does the universe have to be like this?

Cannot wait for this leg! No TAR has ever visited Jamaica except for that final 3 leg in TAR 7.

(Right before airtime, I'm sure it's okay to name the destination :P )

Considering there wasn't much information about this leg, Jamaica was a pleasant surprise.

Can't be the only on who thought of the Worlds Apart barrel task during the Roadblock.

Ah, at long last...a Jamaica leg that has actual stakes. This is far overdue.

Now...where the HECK is that Yield vote located at? :/

I can't stand how many times Regev and Helen go from near the back of the pack to the front in one task. The model roadblock and now this? On the same leg? Not to mention the library and bubble tasks in Mexico? They're so damn lucky and I hate it.

Mor and Mor
's elimination coming. Even before the season started the Hebrew Wikipedia page for the series said that they had to go back to Israel because of a injury, so I knew it was only a matter of time. Except I assumed it would be an injury that would force them to stop racing, not an injury that would let them continue but make them struggle and put them in last. It was a lot worse that way because it was like a slow death.

There must be a NEL soon, I'd guess this leg. They'd go down to 5 teams before one?

It looks to me like a task was edited out. After finishing the Usain Bolt task, the team in first place (I forget who) rips open the clue and it goes like...

"Make your way by taxi to [HARD CUT] Bellefield neighbourhood"

Furthermore, the location where they get the free drinks is by the seaside, and the Usain Bolt task took place in Granville which is not near the sea at all. I think I see beach volleyball courts near the drink stand... Hmm...

Okay, they did a Usain Bolt task. Now this leg just needs to have one to do with reggae music, maybe Bob Marley, to make this Jamaica visit complete :D

Or ska, a genre that No Doubt made me appreciate.

Asia 3 begun with 5 consecutive EL, follow by back-to-back NELs in leg 6 and 7

I don't think there was a task cut between the Usain Bolt task and the frog task. When teams arrived at the drink stand, they were wearing completely different clothes than they were wearing for the rest of the episode. The same clothes that they were wearing this episode. I'm guessing that there was an overnight rest after the voodoo task. The Yield reveal board segment also had teams wearing Episode 19 clothes.

When Adi & Meitar got out of their car, I'm pretty sure I saw and airport fence and runway before they walked over to the volleyball court and tree. I'm guessing that the fruit stand was somewhere along Kent Ave. If that's the case, I think that teams went to the drink stand after the pirate task before leaving Tropical Bliss.

Now, this episode:

Not sure why every leg in the Caribbean in this series involves pirate tasks.

Power going out during Evelin & Tohar's interview  :cmaslol

How did Anne & Yarden struggle to raise a flag?

Oy va voy...

Well, Regev loses many points for behaviour that ruins yet another Face Off that could have been fun. (See the laughing challenge in Thailand season 2, the musical chairs challenge from season 2, etc...) Regev really is just a big baby. At the same time, though, Helen gains points for immediately calling Regev out on his behaviour, plus when she defeated Evelyn she immediately went "Get me out, I'm stuck, I don't want to hurt her!"

Helen has said twice now that she wants to quit and go home. I wish she and Regev would just do it already.

I really wonder how exactly tasks like the rigging-climbing task work, since there is clearly, unquestionably only one rig set up. Do they really bottleneck it down to one team at a time, or is there some kind of complex system of time credits and penalties to make things fair?

Was expecting the Pit Stop this episode! Surprised that a tiny nation like Jamaica had so much packed into it that it got four episodes!
