TAR15 EP1506 " Do It for the Hood! Do It for the Suburbs" (Dubai)
realshowfan:
The briefcases at the start and the James Bond comment by Tiffany just further solidifies my thining of the season's theme as 'TV'. =D

45 minutes?! No wonder the Globetrotters caught up! Mika must've really had a hard time going down that slide!

Ruth:
Meghan and Cheyne - Meghan's starting to lose her cool, but it was still an awesome leg ran by them. They got stuck at the Detour, but still finished strong. This team's really unbeatable and unstoppable!
Maria and Tiffany - Wow, who'd have expected such a strong finish from these girls! Honestly, I take back what I said previously, about them trying so hard and never being able to do well. They've just proved me wrong. Poker girls rock at Math! :D
Sam and Dan - It was smart of them to bring a calculator, very smart. I just love how they're working so well with Maria and Tiffany. This is one really cute and sweet alliance, they're really helping one another out and all. =)
Brian and Ericka - I totally LOL-ed when they were up at the slide, Brian saying that Ericka probably wouldn't have gone down the slide had he gone first. Loved their expressions when they ended up in the water, lol. I still really love this team, but I wish that Ericka will pull a little more weight instead of just talking.
Gary and Matt - Mel and Mike minus the humour! They're just doing so good and still working well together. It's just so awww seeing a good relationship between a father and his son.
Flight Time and Big Easy - My impression of them has dropped quite a lot by them being so discouraging to Mika. Well I mean, yes, it's a race, they need not be the ones encouraging her and all but all those harsh words weren't necessary. Meh.
Mika and Canaan - Canaan has always been the one pushing the team, and ultimately, it was Mika that cost them the race. I do feel that Mika should have just tried to overcome her fear and gone down the slide but at the same time, I thought that Canaan should have been more encouraging. The way he did it was rather threatening, saying stuff like, "You're gonna regret if you don't go down." Come on, that wouldn't work, seeing that the girl was on the verge of going crazy. And he actually attempted to throw her down the slide, HE'd be the one regretting had he done that. I understand Canaan's frustration, but I kinda feel that had he been nicer and all, Mika MIGHT have gone down the slide. Either way, it sucked that they had to go out this way. I wish that they'd have stayed over the Globetrotters, it's so boring having a physically fit all-male team dominating. But well... Mika has just got to learn to be stronger. I still love them though, Canaan was really sweet at the end.
Current ranking of teams:
1. Brian and Ericka
2. Maria and Tiffany
3. Meghan and Cheyne
4. Sam and Dan
5. Gary and Matt
6. Flight Time and Big Easy
Caelestor:
I'm revising my scoring system:
Japan gets a subpar from me.
Vietnam leg 1 gets a good and Vietnam leg 2 gets an average.
Phnom Penh gets an average.
Dubai leg 1 gets a good.
This leg on the other hand gets an outstanding. People will remember this episode due to Mika's breakdown :groan:. (I still think the Dubai legs should've been merged into one.) I liked how this leg focused more on the drama and revealed quite a bit about the teams. (There should be stronger woman participants on TAR 16.) Quite a few other stumbles in this episode.
Poor Globetrotters, they got stuck on the roadblock and lost a lot of time. Yet, they're probably my top team right now for their calm composure and AWESOME one-liners. Don't blame them for being mean to Canaan; it's a race people!
Plus, finally a decent detour! :hearts: I'm still ashamed of Dan and Sam for screwing up WITH a calculator.
Great to see Maria and Tiffany be competent. They're not going to win this thing though :P Team Miss America gets a pass due to the long division (and the changing numbers). Surprised so many teams did the hookahs in that heat. The detour judges rocked by being much harsher than the ones we've seen.
apskip:
Winning poker at any level involves complex mathematical calculations which Maria and Tiffany must do in their heads. They must have great mathematical aptitude. Having a calculator to do $5000 / Gold price per ounce would have been a piece of cake for them.
