Has Ford dropped out as a sponsor? Usually we'd be hearing "teams will choose an all-new Ford..." yada yada, but no mention of them this season

They would have been in the credits by now. So sadly, I would say yes.

So, we'll get less self-driving leg?

So TAR can use any car for self driving? Not just Ford.

So the team came first in KOR leg had no prize any more? Justin and Diana won last two KOR then received nothing.

It's called bad luck, but I don't think it's fair too since there used to be a prize back then.

I remembered in TAR7, for every 3rd episode (if you split the double leg in India into two episodes), no first place prize was given. Lynn and Alex, Uchenna and Joyce and Ron and Kelly (x2) didn't receive a prize in those episodes, while Rob and Amber came in first only in the episodes that gave out the prizes. I remembered that led to one member in Sucks saying that the race was biased against gays, veterans and blacks.

Also, in TAR 25 Leg 11, there was no prize given for Brooke & Robbie for coming in first place.

I get it. The rule changed in TAR25, but why?

Disappointed, that there are no self-driving legs. If Ford dropped out as sponsor then they just should get other brands as cars. In previous seasons, contestants got to drive Mercedes Benzes, Nissans, Toyotas, Opels... Also disappointed that there are no NEL's and Speedbumps.

RaceUntilWeDie · « **Reply #129 on:** November 01, 2015, 12:50:52 AM »

It's really sad that there may be no more self-driving (at least for this season). It's like taking away the Roadblocks or the Detours. It doesn't feel right without their inclusion.

Jobby · « **Reply #130 on:** November 01, 2015, 01:22:32 AM »

I'm not complaining about the self-driving YET. It might have killed Tiffany and Krista early on.

I get it. The rule changed in TAR25, but why?

Didn't Blair & Hayley get their trip to Goa as prize while they encountering Final 4 KOR?

I think it depended on the agreement with the sponsor.

But Ford is not sponsors for this season made me feel sad since Cars are still the best prize for the winning leg and I'd love to see at least 3-4 self-driving legs per season. Hopefully the next two legs somehow featuring self-driving or else it'll be really disappointing.

inb4 the self-driving is in the finale

elthemagnifico · « **Reply #133 on:** November 01, 2015, 05:52:12 AM »

Wow, shocked... I just realized why we hadn't any self-driving leg yet...

I'm curious why Ford dropped out as TAR sponsor... And why TAR didn't find the replacement

Bookworm · « **Reply #134 on:** November 01, 2015, 06:16:06 AM »

There's also a chance for NO self driving the entire race
Teams can take taxis in Rotterdam
Krakow is a maybe
Teams typically take taxis in India
A team was seen taking a bus in HK

Back to Episode 6 Discussion please.

This race is NOT for anyone scared of heights. I think only Leg 3 had no heights task (Leg 2 had the sideways tango, I guess that counts??)

I'm not fluent in French, but hearing the mispronunciations made me both cringe and laugh (not necessarily at the same time

). Kelsey's first rap attempt especially made me laugh

So far no outstanding legs, but this was a good one as a leg (as opposed to last episode which works as a tour itinerary

). Poor Justin & Diana for their second KOR win, but it's nice to see Diana getting some screentime even though it's her arguing with Justin, just nice to see that she's isn't totally quiet.

The focus of the season at the beginning was Justin & Diana vs. Tanner & Josh. Now, it's more on Logan & Chris

They sound very pessimistic though

Over all, this was a really weak episode in my opinion. The first Roadblock was rushed, had no effect on anything and the bungee jump was a very simular task to the gorge swing that we saw last week. And can I say, the FitBit sponsorship is TERRIBLE!!! I don't care about the teams' heart rates, so basing what felt like a whole leg around it, with a task involving it next week as well, is

Also, the biplane Roadblock is very simular to the microlight plane Roadblock that we had, ONLY TWO FREAKIN LEGS AGO! The first part of the episode kind of felt like a redo of some of the tasks in the previous two legs.

The detour was decent, however. But the bad start of the episode made me lose some interest in the episode overall. Without the team dynamics and partially the detour, this leg would have gone down as one really bad episode in my eyes. Or that will say, considering the leg in comparison to the season up to this point. Had we had this leg in another season it could have been okay. Still, the large focus on the FitBit and the Roadblock that did not have any effect on the result, makes me disappointed, because I know that the race can do much better. Don't give us this crap

, when you have the potential to do something great

I know no French, but fraternite, egalite, liberte are so similar to fraternity, equality, liberty I think I would have said them better.
The French rap I have no rhythm and terrible pronunciation. Would have loved to see the dancing brothers at that one.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #140 on:** November 02, 2015, 03:29:08 PM »

They would have been great at this challenge!! That would have been fun to see!

Dånooky · « **Reply #141 on:** November 02, 2015, 11:10:34 PM »

I kind of like how this season is trying to try things outside of the normal formula, we had two RBs and a detour in the same leg and both RBs will affect something in the following leg. Even though some challenges seem redundant, I like how the producers are messing with the predictability of the race.

cbacbacba1 · « **Reply #142 on:** November 03, 2015, 12:51:19 AM »

And we have a u-turn on front of pit-stop and two NEL s

And for us that don't live in The States, what does the video show? Did Denise & James Earl get really bad directions or what happened?

Plaidmoon · « **Reply #144 on:** November 03, 2015, 02:38:18 PM »

The video shows Denise and James Earl borrowing a phone and getting the address for La Coupole restaurant. However, when they got to that address, there was a La Coupole restaurant but no sign of anything related to TAR filming. Apparently there is more than one restaurant named La Coupole and they went to the wrong one. The video ends with them confused and wondering what to do next.

Slowhatch · « **Reply #145 on:** November 03, 2015, 02:45:17 PM »

Maybe the guy used a navigation app instead of a regular search engine. La Coupole (diner) was closer to Montmartre than La Coupole (restaurant). Here are the two locations:

Plaidmoon · « **Reply #146 on:** November 03, 2015, 02:51:10 PM »

The video is clearly shows Denise and James Earl at the diner location.

This episode is pretty fun. However, its entertainment is probably coming from Detour and team messing things up. Both RB are cool and I'd love to try both of them but it's really boring to watch 4 consecutive 'Dealing with Height' RB in a row (And the concept of the task is super similar to the task before is not helping either). The Detour is hard and really detail-oriented in different way so I really enjoy it. So kudos to WRP for that task!

Just really wish that all teams were bunching up at the train from the airport. So Kriffany can slay all other teams can claim their deserving first place! <33

gamerfan09 · « **Reply #148 on:** November 05, 2015, 10:28:27 AM »

If I had to be honest I hated the leg lol, it didn't really become fun until teams got in Paris =/
