TAR14 EP4: 'It Was Like a Caravan of Idiots'(Siberia)
puddin:
I think its easy to sit on your chair at home and judge the teams when really, we don't know what Kris and Amanda's strategy was. I mean come on........ if a challenge calls for strength then it makes sense for the obvious to use his strength, whos going to get through the challenge faster. Amanda rocked last weeks Roadblock, that is where she shined. Now that they are gone we might never know what else Amanda was capable of.
Belle Book:
Here are my rankings of the teams after this leg:
Christie & Jodi -- wow! First place this leg, and it was well-earned! They were right to go to the Internet cafe to get flight information and things only went well for them from there!
LaKisha & Jen -- another fine job from them, but they could've done better with the Roadblock. Still, a fine job from them!
Tammy & Victor -- much better this leg! Nice recovery from the disaster of the previous leg! Did well with the Detour and Roadblock! They regained my affection!
Margie & Luke -- I can see the strategy behind the U-Turn. They hadn't been allied with Amanda & Kris, and the dating couple was stronger than Mel & Mike. Still, it was sad to see them use it on the dating couple.
Jamie & Cara -- a very good job, even when some of the wall went down. And it was real funny to see them pretend to be Lufthansa travel agents! :lol:
Mel & Mike -- didn't do so well because you switched Detours and got lost at the Construct Detour. But you still did a decent job.
Mark & Michael -- wow, you guys really need help both with your navigational skills and with your cluelessness! You got lost on the way to the Detour, you switched Detours and had all kinds of trouble with the Construct one, and finally you ran out of money! You were lucky Amanda & Kris got the U-Turn, or you might've been toast!
Philiminated: Amanda & Kris. Okay, so you weren't the most interesting team, but you didn't fight. Still, it was sad to see you go home.
Love: Cara & Jamie, Tammy & Victor
Like: Christie & Jodi, LaKisha & Jen, Margie & Luke and Mel & Mike.
Neutral: Mark & Michael

The sign reads, as best I can figure it: ВСПОМНИТЕ ЭТО ПИСЬМО (Remember that letter)
(I used Windows Character Map, plugging in one letter at a time. There's got to be an easier way ;D)

I mean, it's just so hard, struggling with the first Detour, changing tasks, struggling again looking for the house, when they were finally done they realised they were U-turned, and had to go back to the difficult task they abandoned in the first place. Sigh, I just felt so sad, and so bad for them! Yet they persevered all the way. Why must my favourite team U-turn the other favourite team! Now I'm reminded of TAR 12 when Lorena and Jason went out the same way... I'll really miss Amanda and Kris, they were so sweet =(

That was tempered for me somewhat by their bitching about how "shady" it was, and then totally failing to realize who'd done it to them.

Let's look at past Yields and U-TURNs -
When Colin and Christie got Yielded, they got angry for the next few legs with Chip and Kim and wanted to beat them in EVERYTHING.
When Ron and Kelly got Yielded, they drew on Rob and Amber's face.
When Weaver Family got Yielded, they called the Paolos and Linz names and it wasn't very nice.
When Danielle and Dani got Yielded, they cried and broke down.
When MoJo got Yielded, they became very aggressive about it and flipped off BJ and Tyler.
When Lyn and Karlyn got Yielded, Karlyn flipped off Dustin and Kandice.
When Eric and Danielle got Yielded by Dustin and Kandice and Oswald and Danny, you knew they did alot of trash talking and called them some really nasty names.
From past history shows, only Lorena and Jason managed to take their U-TURN with a stride and continue to race well and in peace with each other. A zillion other teams behaved 18409328 times worst than Amanda and Kris. Now, where did the "bitching" and the "shady" part from Amanda and Kris came from? I didn't see it?
