TARAus 3: Episode 6 LIVE SHOW Updates and Discussion *SPOILERS*

<< < (13/14) > >>

NMC:
In total contrast to the majority of comments, I'm quite annoyed with John & Murray's Elimination.  They did get on pretty much everyone's nerves, and were the "Villains" of the Season, but for some reason they were my favourite team the whole way through.

I think the most annoying thing is knowing they had so many chances to stay in and just screwed up.  They would have knocked out Boil had they chose that, if John had listened to Murray at stacking the wood it wouldn't have collapsed, and possibly the biggest downfall was not staying with the other Kiwi teams while doing the Nesting Doll challenge.

I understand why Daniel & Ryan didn't opt to save them, but I cant help but feel pissed off towards them.  :groan:

I guess Cat & Jesse are my go to Team now!  :hoot:

Great episode! Everything happened! Really exciting now that I love all teams left in the race :lol:

Some random thoughts about this episode:

The country vs country challenge was well designed. It would have been fairly fair even if the number of teams on each side had been different. It was also hard and I think the NZ teams lost quite a bit of time. I don't recall them even seeing any of the Australian teams later in the episode.

I love the fact that they give each team a limited set of resources in one detour option. In this case the fire-making stuff. This forces teams to be careful with what they have, and they always have the option of switching if they run out. We saw the same in TAR Canada with the fish detour.

The wood stacking detour option is actually quite evil. The task is heavy and the closer to finish you get the bigger the chance is that it collapses and you have to start over.

Finally I think John & Murray had their pile collapse at least one more time and they left the detour quite a bit behind Carla & Hereni. In the episode it looked like they were very even while rebuilding their stacks. But suddenly Carla & Hereni are done and then editing tried to make it look like the guys were very close but we never actually saw them in the same frame as the girls so it seems John & Murray actually got to the road block after Carla & Hereni left.

Dånooky:
Another parallel: the team that got engaged was U-Turned by the team that got eliminated.
