TAR 27 Ep 9 LIVE Updates and Commentary!

<< < (37/48) > >>

RachelLeVega:
After much pondering, my opinion about this leg has changed.
They gathered, lathered, and rather built much emotions to serve our eyes and ears tonight - no matter how much of our inner bitch resurfaced or cried in disbelief and relief. I felt spiced by tonight, perhaps it's my chai tea concoction, but I don't sense the cinnamon and ginger in the editing this leg. On account of all this, let me get this review over with.

LEG 9 (Poland --> India) EPISODE REVIEW
Drink: Masala chai tea
We started watching this leg, and immediately, dirty laundry about the upcoming U-Turn tumbled off teams' tongues like Swiss cheese from season 14. After flying into Delhi, there was dirty laundry indeed, especially the first task.

ROADBLOCK (SPEED BUMP): (Who feels "sari" for this season?)
The laundry task brought some good TAR scenes like a bike crash and decent struggles, but I feel like the everyday clothing chores task has been way overdone. Luckily, Denise singing "If You're Happy and You Know It" saved this task from being simply a mark-off. As for Tanner & Josh's Speed Bump during this task, I like the concept, just not how much time that was consumed.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 8.4/10

After laying the fabric, a Detour followed once teams received a priceless blessing by a Hanuman Temple priest.

DETOUR: (Un"can"ny Coincidence or Sugar Coated Facts)
Just the basics, two delivery tasks to a certain place. Maybe too substandard for my savor-bound taste, but the editing throughout this bit was better. Not totally interesting, but pretty good interactions between teams.
DETOUR SCORE: 8/10

At the end of the day, a 6th win for Justin & Diana comes through, closing in on bumping Nick & Starr down on the leader chart, and nearing Rachel & Dave. Unfortunately, Tanner & Josh lose by a shave.

OVERALL: 7.8/10 (causes of lower score by lackluster and insufficient/inconsistent editing)

That is all because they friendly allow Tiffany & Krista to check-in first last leg

Otherwise, either T & K or Denise & James Earl is eliminated this leg  :ascared

The outcome of this leg could be very different considering the following
(1) Tanner & Josh got 5th and T&K last for Leg 8 > T&K / D & JE out
(2) T&K did not use the u-turn in Leg 4 > They can u-turn D&JE to save the boys > D & JE out

_____________________________________________________________

Tanner & Josh officially ties the record of Abbie & Ryan of not improving for 7 consecutive legs (Coincidently Leg 3 - 9 too):(

______________________________________________________________

Seriously hope Kelsey & Joey and Justin & Diana will be the next two boots and miss out the final three  :gaah:

One flaw with your logic: We were super close with Texas and the Cheerleaders. None of the three of us would have u-turned one another.

Reilly Queens:
Justin posting that he wanted to win every leg in his thread(lol at no qstns last week) has really spoiled this season for me.

1. Tiffany & Krista out because the other detour was quite physical.
2. Since Denise & JE got ahead of Tiffany & Krista to the U-turn, the latter team would be wasting their U-turn power as well, albeit smartly wasting it this time. :lol:


Additional coincidence with Abbie & Ryan: Both teams won Legs 1 and 3, then getting the boot in Leg 9 due to a U-turn.
