TAR 23 East Coast EP 8 SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**

<< < (13/15) > >>

Quoc Nghia:
Bunnies went home and was u-turned by Tim&Marie.  :tantrum

Beside this sad elimination. This is a really good epidsode. All the tasks are awesome. I'm really happy because Nicky and Kim finished all the task. I don't know why CBS have to pull 7 person come back for the 3rd time while there're a lot of good teams from S19 to S23. :(

And Afganimals  have grown in my list. Maybe they're annoying but they're a good competitor.

Jobby:
Even with the U-TURN, Ally and Ashley are 5th. :funny:

Even without Leo and Jamal continuing with the lead, Jason and Amy are 2nd.  :groan:

LEG 8 (United Arab Emirates) Analysis
This episode was okay, but I didn't really feel the race love. The vast sand dunes of the Emirates worked well in the beginning and I wish they had just held the race there instead of driving to Al-Ain. Traveling in dune buggies would have been more challenging and emotionally irritated that it would make for good Race material. Having an Arab local get a clue down from a tree was so pointless. Why not let the teams poke down the clue with a very long stick? :res: But I guess TAR is too "high-maintenance" with their VIP teams now. Whatever (with an attitude).

DETOUR: Wedding And A Feast or Beauty With A Beast
These tasks were so race generic. It lacked much challenge and uniqueness. Chopping vegetables and deboning a chicken, that's basically simple cooking! Dressing up a camel was just as much challenge as making a bowl of instant soup.
DETOUR SCORE: 2/10

ROADBLOCK: Manmade whitewater rafting
A twist to TAR17's Kiruna husky dog sledding, this task proved how challenging it is to stay stable on the level 4 jet-propelled rapids. Some did find it easier than others, but remained a slight challenge to Nicole, Ally, and Nicky. By the way, has anyone noticed that the Detour always comes before a Roadblock this season?
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 7/10

SPEED BUMP: (Nicky & Kim) Swim through wave generating pool
I like this extra task, it's a little challenging, but still quick. However, I'd tweak where Nicky & Kim had to start to swim by having them swim towards the charging waves to make it more emotionally challenging for them. :lol:
SB SCORE: 8/10

OTHER RANDOM SCORES:
U-TURN SCORE: 5/10
SAND DUNE TROUBLES SCORE: 8/10
CAMEL DIVA ATTITUDE SCORE: 11/10
MARIE-BEING-A-BIT¢H SCORE: 6/10

Dånooky:
I don't think Marie's decision was purely sentimental. I mean, they just got lost running around aimlessly, so obviously the only way to give themselves a cushion would be to U-Turn the team that you know is behind you and that you know still has to perform the Speedbump. Revenge was just the icing on the cake.

Zachary:
GREAT! Another one of my pick went home!

when will those dumb blondes go home already!!!  (:;)

This leg was better than the last one though!

Roadblock was good detour was good all is well ...

Pit-stop was okay too ...

Leo and Jamal and Nicky and Kim are U-turned ... I called it folks!

Even if Tim and Marie didn't U-turn Nicky and Kim chances are they're still going home cause they struggled on that speed bump

Man! the speed bump looks physically though!

Looking forward to Bandung. Indonesia is always Intense!!!!  :wohoo:
