TAR 27 Ep 4 LIVE SHOW Updates & Commentary!

I think TAR needs to work on the leg designs more. We don't have many chances left and if this is what TAR becomes, the show is a goner. :gaah:

They definitely have to step it up, but ratings and the Emmys will be the defining factors.

The same reason why TAR sometimes has a literally impossible Detour option on some detours; to force the teams to do otherwise. That really isn't hard to figure out. It's why the old "strip 'em of their cash" penalty for coming in last on a NEL was used, and then subsequently avoided in poor countries before being dropped completely as it was unseemly for teams to be begging for money in such places, which fits with the use of the orphanage for the U-Turn Board and the check-in mat in this leg.

I don't really think that's the same idea, personally. I understand having one Detour be harder to force teams to do the other option which is more exciting/looks better on TV/other such reasons. But while the race might gain something from a Detour option being unvisited, the race doesn't actually gain anything from a U-Turn being unused. We could get a lot more drama from a better-positioned U-Turn on a different leg in my opinion.

It is great in certain aspect :
1) We will see how last place teams react to prevent potential last-place
2) Phil's attitude on the u-turn
3) Brutal to see the team get u-turned just before getting checked-in :yess:
The u-turn adds more point this leg because of a KOR setting instead of a NEL
So the effect of u-turn becomes more powerful to determine the result of the second half :yess:
Hope they will do this more in the future :hearts:

I agree to this! :hoot:
With today's leg design, perhaps a 2-hour episode airing Legs 4 and 5 will lessen other's hate tension. ??? Anyway, I still enjoyed it. :lol:
