Meanwhile, I like the episode overall. It was great with the difficulty of both the roadblock and the detour, and the drama towards the end. I may not have liked the result, but the episode was one of the best yet! :hoot: Better than the Indian legs in my opinion.

WHAT. A. WASTE. OF. TIME!  :gaah:

This Season is officially below TAR 24 for me.  Brenchel were the only team I really disliked in it, and even they're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than J***** & Diana.
Tiffany & Krista GODDESSES!!!  :cheer:  Please Return!  :luvya:
I'm over this Season - Bring on S28.  :<3

If J&D win, they'll go down as the worst winners ever, and this Season will be wiped from my memory, which is such a shame because the entire rest of the Cast, (maybe with the exclusion of Kelsey & Joey), is PHENOMENAL!!!!

This Season will forever be remembered as - The Atrocious Boot Order & Awful Leg Design Race.

The penalty time was long enough(the longest penalty we've seen at the mat since Rachel & Dave penalized for 2 hours in Paraguay). Can't believe Tiffany & Krista failed to check in during those longest 55 minutes in Justin's life.

I second that. J/D made this season unbearable for me to watch, I feel like I wanna wipe that smug grin off of Justin's face.

It's not the best nor the worst for me, but bring this to the Unpopular Opinions thread and you will probably be very welcome there. :funny:

Justin single-handedly ruined this season and all it's potential.

All of the teams were amazing this season... the worst one just HAD to win everything :res:

I was seriously disappointed with this elimination. Stupid taxi.

@Theo, did you do these "recaps" of other episodes as well? This one was great!

Cast-wise, it's a phenomenal cast sans Satan.

But really the tasks all season have been mediocre at best. Poland was the only leg I'd consider good enough for TAR, and maybe Leg 3.  Neither were great in any case. Today was a perfect example of this - that Detour was horrible and uninteresting and the Roadblock itself was a really pointless task that would have been completely forgettable had someone not struggled so much.

I'd wonder how this leg would have been edited if Krista didn't struggle with the Roadblock for so long. Considering half the cast had basically checked in halfway through the episode, would we get 345124085 extra Satan confessionals crying about every element of the leg or would we get 412240 more clips of people cutting fabric. Would've been an amazing leg!!
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

This season is officially below the ranks of TAR 9 and TAR 24 for me.

Loving all the "terrible season" comments and hope that it is enough to not warrant team who shall not be named an Allstar chance IF they don't win akin to BJ and Tyler.

But until that moment, it's plain obvious that they will win so to the rest of you please go prepare some buckets for vile vomit.

I would disagree that the penalty was huge for Justin & Diana, because it could have taken them even more than 55 minutes to get from Kowloon to the proper ferry and then to Macau depending on the schedule. It's about a 15 minute taxi ride from Kowloon, and the ride is about 25 minutes longer. That's already at least 40 minutes. If the ferry schedule is bad, they could have easily lost even more time.

The cab driver for T/K dropped them off at a BEA branch here, which is not that far from the pitstop; on the other hand, it doesn't resemble a pier or lake or...anything.

I am sure I am minority here, I just want to say this season is not that bad..

Obviously everyone is so over Justin, but as a racer J/D really do well, and I don't think that's the reason to hate them. Speaking of attitude, Justin is cocky type for sure, but part of it is because they win many legs so easily, it's just like other teams apart from Kelsey/Joey do not stand a chance to challenge them at all. That contributes to his over-confidence towards the end.

I would say he is more like Colin to me, too full of himself and cannot accept being lost. But frankly I don't mind seeing them on the race, they are unique characters there.

And for this leg, as a local in Hong Kong I am disappointed with the detour, it could be structured better than just cutting fabrics and finding phones, should involve them moving around the street market area.

For the result of this leg, the 55 min penalty is huge, I can't believe it cannot save T/K, but if such huge penalty isn't enough to save them, that means they are deserved to go. I quite like seeing T/K but tbh we have much better female teams before, though at least they are better than Caroline/Jennifer for sure, but not that great as everyone says. The worst thing I cannot accept is them accusing Logan/Chris and denying about them u-turning J/D, making L/C become target by J/D. Also, them begging Denise/James Earl not u-turning them in last leg was a pathetic move.

My favourite team so far this season is still Logan/Chris, Logan is really a good cast, always giving the most true emotions. J/D are ok to me, K/J also fine but kind of bland. I am ok with either L/C or J/D winning it. To me this is definitely better than TAR24 and Tyler/Laura winning last season.

I agree with you. Maybe T/K lying can be accepted as gameplay by some people, but I didn't like it, esp when they turned on C/L. I liked how J/D played straight.

My heart was racing this episode, and I am looking forward to the finale.
May the best team win!  :hoot:

I cannot believe that we cannot get any sightings for this leg 11 desphite they have been to such many popular locations :  :(

1) Phil's narration for the detour in Sham Shui Po
2) The Tsim Sha Tsui area for the Sam's detour
3) The City of Dreams, one of the biggest shopping centre and casino in Macau
4) All teams stayed at the pit-stop for at least 1 hour because of Green's peanality

Which all makes this leg awesome in terms of editing and watching (of course the result is not great)

Agree with all of this except the favorite team being Logan/Chris.  I don't have a favorite but I do like J/D and if they win I will be fine with it.  In fact, I'll be fine with whichever team wins. 

I see the season differently from most here at RFF.  I blame it on the editors. They chose to highlight J/D all the time... makes me wonder if that meant all the other teams were that boring!

I think it was Denise/James who begging Tiffani/Krista not u-turning them

I can understand your anger at Justin and Diana, but when you attack everyone that disagrees with you, I think you've crossed the line into unacceptable behavior.
