Everything about this episode feels rushed. I have no opinion about most of the teams rn. :lol:

Same here... all I know is that Justin cries a lot. Tiffany&Krista's backpacks look really heavy. Is hard for me to understand chacattack and that Tmz girls get bully at work.

I don't think it's that the girls get bullied at work. It's more getting teased and picked on in a friendly manner rather than getting bullied or picked on maliciously. It might be hard to understand if you've never worked at a place where this happens, but it's fairly common in places I've worked. When people are liked by others, they get friendly ribbing. (For example, if they were in my office they would have come back to work to find slide puzzles all over their desks.) When people are not liked, they get ignored. I don't watch TMZ, but I've caught episodes from time to time and it seems like that type of work place.

Oh don't worry I understand the context of TMZ. Is basically their job to make jokes about people, report a celebrity coming out of dinner among other things. TMZ can be really funny sometimes, it airs here usually around 5 or 6 in the morning for like 15 minutes or so and I watch it whenever it's on and I can't fall sleep. It was just a jab at the edit of the episode.
TARUSAFan:
It would have been better if it was a 90-minute premier. Everything was simply rushed. If it was longer, we got to meet the teams more. :didimiss:
Looking back at Season 25, Phil introduced the start line place with a few descriptions, then he proceeded to introduce the teams one by one, then what would you expect in the race + the prize in Leg 1.
(For Season 27, there were shots of all the teams running in the sand as seen in the live sightings thread. It implied to me that these will be the clips of them that will be used in the introduction. How come the backstory of Kelsey & Joey, Kelly & Shevonne and Ernest & Jin were shown while they were in the cabs during the premiere?) ???
>>>>>>>> Because the cast was diverse it was easy to determine who was who. Good job with the casting. :hoot: :yess:
In Season 19, the "Umbrella" Start Line Task was edited enough for the viewers to see and understand how the teams reacted. In Season 27's "Water Bike Race" Start Line Task was a breeze. We did not even get to see how Tanner & Josh got to shore after their bike bogged down.
In previous seasons, we got to see teams mingle at the airport. In Season 27, We only saw a glimpse of Tanner & Josh shaking hands with Kelly & Shevonne, Kelly & Shevonne giving their impressions of Tiffany & Krista, Tanner & Josh and Denise & James Earl, Tiffany & Krista "saying Rio!" and Kelsey & Joey boarding.
Going to Rio De Janeiro, I was underwhelmed. This is such an awesome destination. :'( In my opinion one of the best premieres in the HD Era (Seasons 18-27) from TAR was Season 20, 22, 23 and 25. If they simply did it like Season 22's premiere then it would be a winner to me.
It would have been better if there was a Roadblock after the Helicopter task. Something that would involve Brazilian culture, such as:
> A task where one team member had to eat Brazilian food and identify what they have eaten. It's like a memory task.
> A task where one team member had to participate in Rio’s Jockey Club. (Horse-Racing)
> If the weather was good, I would have turned the hang-gliding task a Roadblock
> Carnival inspired task
For the Fast Forward, knowing that the Express Pass is up for grabs, it should not just be given easily. I would change the hang-gliding task to a harder one like replicating an intricate sandcastle on Ipanema beach so as the team that would take it would not see the teams in Copacabana beach.
Phil said, they listened to what the fans want. They did it with the route, with the cast, going back to roots, the throwback theme but not the editing based on the 1st episode. Hopefully the next episodes will be better. One more thing I'd rather see team's relationship rather than hashtags.
gamerfan09:
I noticed a problem with the new TAR era (25-27) and idk, I just feel like the editing needs more improvement now than ever =/
IDK but I just miss everyone reading the clue, Phil announcing Pit Stop placements, and even smaller touches. It seems to have started with 24, since I noticed that 24 marked the beginning of:
*X finishes task*
*Y omg good job*
*subtitle flashes of their team and placement*
*cut to other team*
in the editing.
I hope they return to the old style editing of even 23 tbh, look at how the new era of TAR25 onwards are amazing, it would be 99999x better with snappier editing.
I also noticed the 27 premiere was only 41 minutes, which is shockingly less than the 45 minute average. Did they have to cut the budget a little for more ads? :(

Jobby:
Just a question...do you think Justin and Diana should have waited for the Fast Forward?... :/
