TAR16 - EP5: "I Think We're Fighting the Germans, Right?" (France)
Cocoa:
Uh-oh. To all the teams who hate TAR and this episode, you only got one choice: STOP WATCHING IT! :res:
Too much complain? STOP WATCHING IT. :res:
You are complaining TOO MUCH you think you can make another race based on your taste.

Personally I love the linear legs, finally we see the teams that have worked their way to the front get some sort of advantage for it. And the teams at the back have to bust their asses to get back in the game, which Brent and Caite tried to do, albeit badly, but I liked their spirit.
The whole point of the U-Turn is to sabotage other teams, and while I think they picked the wrong targets, given Joe's bad knee and how much that was likely to impact on their performance, it was the perfect time to play it. If I had finished the Detour first and known that their was a very challenging, if not impossible other side, my first thought would be who to U-Turn.

You can't blame Joe & Heidi for not being able to do morse code? Seriously? Then I can't blame Mika for not being able to go down a slide?
A challenge is supposed to be just that; when everyone can do it, it isn't much of one. And morse code? It should have been doable. Watching them struggle made me so proud of the thousands of soldiers who managed to get messages right in the middle of a REAL battlefield.

Louis and Michael had their pick of any team. I think they wasted it on Joe and Heidi when they could have given some trouble and time loss(although not guaranteed elimination) to Jet/Cord. I would have Blind U-turned Jet/Cord if placed at that Blind U-turn station. The appear to me to be the strongest team in the competition and Joe/Heidi were not going to last much longer; as soon as a major physical task required Joe to do heavy work, he would have been done in by his knee regardless of his macho and bravado. I have 2 knees soon to undergo complete replacement, so I know what he must have felt like.

Still, let's consider that the policemen U-turning the cowboys wouldn't have caused as much controversy and discussions among fans. It was dramatic gold.
