TAR 27 Ep 3 LIVE SHOW Updates & Commentary! Tonight at 8PM EST

<< < (13/18) > >>

RaceUntilWeDie:
Something about this season is just off for me. I can't put my finger on it.

I think the problem has to be the tasks. I'll admit, I enjoyed watching the episode. Seeing the teams scramble through the Detour and make many mistakes was fun. However, the way they had fake horses was so lame and uninspired. I hate that the Race is becoming more and more of a setup if that makes sense. Like, before, it felt like you were in the world that they're in... now it feels like we're just watching teams in a private location with a private setup with fake equipment that will be put back to storage afterward. Again, I don't know if I'm making sense but that's the best way I could put it :lol:

Remember Leg 3 of Season 25? Pretty dull leg but it had the sheep task! Idk, that task just felt more real than what we got in this episode.

Manufactured drama is what I dislike about this season. I'll take TAR 25 any day. Peach, I'm sorry but i'm not enjoying this season at all so far.

The teams are not the nicest to each other, nobody is edited saying something positive/appreciating the places they are going to and the surroundings, or the teams are not even witty or funny. I miss having inspirational teams like Adam and Bethany, witty teams like Amy and Maya, funny teams like Brooke and Robbie, and the presence of a crazy competitive team like Misti and Jim.

Just WAY TOO MANY competitive teams.

WAY TOO MANY teams who dislike each other.

The only thing that made up for this leg is the leg design, requiring teams to look out for DETAILS at the Roadblock, then DETAILS when picking up the tools for the DETOUR, then details again when performing both DETOURS.

The country theme behind this leg is so cool as well. But other than that, this season's teams are so MEH. The only teams delivering so far are Denise and Earl James, Diana and Justin and Josh and Tanner.

And of course Ernest and Jin, but they are eliminated now... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :'( :'( :'(

Just gonna stare at this and smile.

It's so true - I can't begin to fathom why they penalised you guys. ???

I think in this case it was a details oriented Roadblock? I can't remember a season where a non-Roadblocker gave specific tips and didn't get a penalty?

cbacbacba1:
The detour would be much better if both tasks require teams to deliver their items to a new place rather than the detour decision point
It makes the guiding part become useless  :(

Tanner & Josh got a really high average placing after 3 legs (1.33) :ascared

I have a feeling that the next leg will be a NEL
If so, is it the third time that a U-Turn is placed in a NEL? (After 13-09 and 15-10)
That will somehow make the U-Turn drama less interesting  :(

Now I get it. Those U-turns were unused or unaired after all. :ascared
