TAR15 EP10: "We’re Not Working With Anybody, Ever, Anymore!"
georgiapeach:
This is a present!! :hearts:
Guess who came back for B/E after all?? :yess:
mswood:
I wouldn't be surprised if Brian & Ericka won based on the edit, but I don't think Ericka has been portrayed nicely at all. Brian I haven't seen anything really negative at all from, but her. Lord, bitchy, demanding, controlling and weak are all things that they have shown about Ericka. Hardly an edit not showing negative aspects from her.
In fact all four teams hhve had good and bad shown about them that could indicate a win.
As for someone pointing out that we didn't see Uchena & Joyce arguing in the first episode, well that might simply be due to the fact that Uchenna & Joyce really were non entities in that episode. Neither the team's that were close to elimination nor the teams that were out front which are the teams that get the main focus of the openers.
I would actually be a little disappointed if Brian & Ericka win, simply on the fact that they really haven't raced well.
I know for many people thats not a factor on who they would like to see win, but for myself it is.
Its one of the reasons I didn't mind Eric & Danielle winning (because when you eliminate the plane factors that were outside their control) they actually ran a good race (well except for three legs, and one of those was too deliberately get the Guidos eliminated). And had three episodes that they actually performed all the tasks faster then any of the other teams.
But I do like them so there is that. In fact I would be happy with any of these four teams winning, and I think that is a first.

The only team I really don't want to see win is Sam & Dan, and that's less because they seemed like potential alpha males when I first saw them than because they bicker so much! Alpha males, bickering teams and villainous ones are my top three least-liked teams and I prefer alpha males to bickering and villainous teams, while I prefer villainous teams (as long as they work well together) to bickering ones. So bickering teams are the one type of team I like least.

For me its isn't just black and white. It all depends (bickering wise) on how the teams really react to it. If I feel that after the bickering teams are pissed off at each other or holding grudges then yeah I hate it, but if after the bickering the teams are fine with each other then it really doesn't bother me).
Two examples
Kevin & Drew and Charla & Mirna.
Kevin & Drew bitch and yell at each other all the time, yet they would soon afterwards be laughing at each other. SO it looks like its just how they communicate but doesn't reflect a pissed off state at each other.
Then we have Charla & Mirna and I recall several episodes where they bickered and yelled at each other, and we see footage of them even at the Pit Stop still harping on the same issue and neither seems happy with each other. I hated that.
In the specific case of Sam & Dan, after they bicker and yell at each other they don't seem mad at each other (one time Dan seemed mad at himself, when he was crying), but even right after the haybales they are goofing off with each other on the way to the Pit Stop. That so far seems to have been their worst day, and when a team member immediately is showing concern for you, and apologizing (in a really heart felt way) it doesn't bother me. It seems that they truly care for each other and its just how they talk to each other.
To me its always, see what emotion is there not just words or volumes. At least when you are interacting with someone who really knows you.
You be rude to a local, I don't care what reason and I really am going to have a hard time liking you.
I was actually more bothered by Cheyne's casual dismissal of Meghan in the cab then the bickering between Sam & Dan. Thankfully we haven't seen much of that.
We have had lots of bickering teams that seem unhappy throughout large parts of the race. Those are the teams that bother me (on the bickering side).
Its why I like these teams a lot. Even the teams the complain, bitch or harp seem (so far) to really care about their partner.
Ruth:
In my opinion, I feel that this season's kind of like TAR 13 in the sense.
Meghan and Cheyne are getting the Nick and Starr edit, very likeable at the beginning, then their nasty and scheming sides show later but if you noticed, they weren't portrayed in too villainous a way, such that while they lose some fans, they still remain largely likeable to many.
Brian and Ericka are getting the Ken and Tina edit, lots of bickerings through the race, but they were nice to other teams. Remember Tina always giving directions and helping other teams? They got a good edit towards the end but they still finished second, which I predict will be Brian and Ericka's ultimate placing. What's more, they haven't won a leg, and it hardly occus that teams who haven't won a leg will win eventually, besides Eric and Danielle.
Sam and Dan are perhaps getting the Andrew and Dan annoying edit, BUT the former's a million times better than the latter.
That's my take, I think Meghan and Cheyne win eventually. Which will be boring because for one, they've won SO MANY legs and for another, I don't really like them now and I really want Brian and Ericka to win. But well, my favourite team winning doesn't happen to me often, in fact it hardly happens, so I'll just prepare for a Meghan and Cheyne win and not get my hopes up. =(
