--- Quote from: Chuckl8 on February 14, 2016, 01:44:05 AM ---I was hoping that Cole would place last, since he is annoying as hell. Does he even realize how loud and obnoxious he is?  (Added emphasis on LOUD! :cheer:)  I realize that he's "only" 19, but most other 19 year olds know how to act in public, especially when travelling abroad. 

Then again, just about the entire cast of this season seem to have problems relating to others in public. I'll give it a few more episodes to be sure, but my first impression is that it's possible that those who are social media stars might lack normal social skills when they are actually in public social settings.

I realize that that's a very broad statement, and it could be that the casting of the current TAR couples unintentionally brought together some less than socially adept people. I'd hate to think that the producers did it on purpose!  Time will tell, I guess.  I just hope that the racers don't insult or annoy the wrong people and get us into another conflict!  blahblah

I can't agree more, Chuckie. I think most of these over-the-roof social media personalities have grown familiar to being in front of a camera almost all the time that their minds have altered to being less self-aware and being more narcissistic and grown to be "stage present", but that's just in my point of view. There are several racers I like (Dana & Matt, Marty & Hagan, Sheri as a mother, Cameron & Darius) who seem quite sincere even without their social media notoriety, though they aren't necessarily living up to their hype as entertainment on "my" TAR standards.

theschnauzers:
You also have to remember that the editors pick and choose, and the camera crews have been known to ask for redos, might have something to do with it.

Platrium:
This team has placed (in no chronological order) 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th in pit stops.
Let's hope they collect more different placements as they go on. :lol:

theschnauzers:
This last leg was a first place tie in all but in name. So that 7th place is a little deceptive.

gamerfan09:
Sheri is one of my favourite racers of all time.

Cole is one of my LEAST favourite racers of all time.

I'm so conflicted on rooting for them or not :lol:

Hopefully they can pull off and survive next week!  :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
