TAR 24 East Coast EP 1 SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**

<< < (14/25) > >>

Platrium:
It's the start of a new TAR season and here's what I can say about the 1st leg:
- Good intro...
- Even if Cowboys and Margie & Luke are a "likable" team, I don't like 3peaters, so I won't be rooting for them. (and I checked the spoilers, what's the point of rooting for a team? :P )
- And maybe this is too late to say for someone who checked the spoilers: I like 2 teams, I don't like 5 teams, and I'm neutral with 4 teams.
- Emotional intro...
- Starting line task! :hearts: With or without the hazard, I'm glad it's back.
- I found this coincidence on Team JJ: During the 1st leg of TAR22, they're the 5th team to get tickets; this season, they still got their tickets in 5th. Here's the difference: In TAR22, the 1st flight had 5 teams on; this season, it only has 4 teams. They were cut-off. :P
- This leg is just a search, luck, easy rb / heights leg. For someone new to TAR, I think they're fine with this. For someone like me, who at least wants to watch a race, I'm okay with this episode. In terms of this leg's tasks, it feels like there's a lot missing. I wish it was a 2-hour premiere.
- rb: Besides being a heights task, it looks easy.
- Canton Tower luck task and Wedding dress shop search simply determined almost everyone's placement in the 1st leg.
- Such a pity the Twinnies followed Country Girls instead of Afghan.
- Twinnies being a total trainwreck this leg. That sure cost them the race, such a pity. When I saw the spoilers, I was surprised. Now I saw the episode, it was partially their fault. Besides that, they bickered a lot this leg. #trainwreck

The first episode is expected to be short and boring, so I'm expecting more in the next episodes.
I also realized, as I watched the episode, I naturally ignored the sucky cast and enjoy the race. :)

WinTar:
I'm okay with this first episode. :) I actually liked the Wedding Shop task since it involved a bit of language barrier, but I feel like the Ferris Wheel task was all about a luck and that the Roadblock was too easy and pointless as it didn't affect the placements of teams at all. :/

Twinnies were so unlucky this leg, starting with the wedding shops. :( But there's just something that this episode had that I really liked that made up for the lackluster tasks that occurred in this leg (as well as this tragic elimination of NaNa :torche).

Hysha:
At first, my opinion about Caroline & Jennifer was neutral. But now, and after see the preview of the next episode, I don't like anything about these girls... :( I really really really wish that Cowboys don't give to her the Express Pass.  :funny:

The leg was ok. I'm sad for Twinnies, but well... I hope the next leg will be more cool. But now we know there will be problems with Team Kentucky.

Jobby:
Just watched the first 12 minutes and nearly wanted to cry when Mallory popped up. That was totally random but so heart warming. #maybethereshopeforthisseasonafterall #butthenwhogetseliminatednext #sigh

theschnauzers:
The other TAR detectives with more direct knowledge can correct me if I;m misremembering, but my understanding was that Mallory was among the alternates who were in LA leading up to the actual start, and as noted by someone (and mentioned in the spoiler thread during filming, Mallory and Mark and their teammates all know each other from charitable events in Kentucky, so the choice made a lot of sense.
What we learned last night was the why of Bopper's replacement. And yes, it did deserve attention and if you go back to prior seasons, TPTB have devoted similar attention in the past to medical problems during filming including Dave's ACL injury in season 22, Bopper's prior injury during filming of his original season, and other before those.
I'm going to resist the temptation to repeat what I've written in earlier posts in this thread but I will add that usually they'll devote more time to the start line task, and the roadblock, but the editing of the episode did directly or inferentially tell us why team order shifted prior to the roadblock; all the roadblock did was pace the teams heading to the pit stop.
