Topic: TAR 27 EP 11 LIVE SHOW Updates & Commentary!

[LeonardTheKoala]

I'm speechless right now and I don't know what to say  Please Logan and Chris win this season!

[gamerfan09]

Tanner & Josh had hilarious shade going Justin's way and an alliance with the best team this season.

Kelsey & Joey were interesting but now they've morphed into REALLY BLAND gamebots whose goal is to beat Justin. They became even more FLAT than they were.

Ugh.

[Bookworm]

When he's winning, Justin's smugness is infinite. But the SECOND something goes remotely wrong, he cries or yells at Diana. He feels so entitled just because this is "his dream" or some bull**** like that. People like that disgust me, and the fact that the editors love him and their luck is incredible just make it worse. They are one of my least favorite teams ever, and the fact that they beat out the most likeable and positive team this season is horrid. I hope karma bits him in his green ass and he finishes in third by hours, or second by minutes, whichever is more emotionally painful.

*MOVES THIS TRASH BELOW ALLSTARS 2*

I am deeply considering this. Brenchel has a lot of star power and Dave/Connor weren't as cocky/smug

also moving Justin/Diana to bottom five tar teams lmao. They're TARs Russel Hantz (cowboys are Colby/Rob)

At least TAR24 gave us two good teams in the final!

So you mean L/C and K/J are not good teams?

Are you kidding? Logan and Chris are such an annoying and incompetent team. There are a million other bickering couples that bickers and are a hundred times more interesting than them.

Kelsey and Joey for the love of God are such a mediocre team. Can't win a leg, always focusing on trying to get first but never getting it? WHAT IS THEIR STORY? Always missing out on first? THAT IS SO STUPID.

lol So you should root for Green team now 

[WinTar]

LET'S BE REAL HERE EVERYONE. LOGAN AND CHRIS' EDIT IS SO BAD, THEY'RE NOT WINNING. KELSEY AND JOEY'S STORY IS LITERALLY WE ALWAYS GET 2ND, SO THEY'LL ALSO GET 2ND IN THE FINAL LEG. JUSTIN IS GONNA WIN. OK. ACCEPT IT. I HATE THIS SEASON. KRIFFANY WAS THE ONLY SAVING GRACE, NOW THEY'RE GONE. BYE.

Kelsey/Joey are MORbores and Logan & Chris would be a small saving grace 4th-6th as final 3 would be so much better

I agree with D/J and T/K but no with Tanner and Josh. They are boring, too.

IF they didn't dedicate 30 minutes to dustbin then maybe we would've got to see the amazingly cute alliance these 3 teams had but NO. WE NEEDED OUR 34823043294023 CRYING DUSTBIN SEQUEENCE

[Jobby]

I can type a 5000 words essay on anti green venom. Paradox, like I said, leave us alone.

[RachelLeVega]

I'm going to say it for the major minority bundle here (AKA me): I can't wait to watch the finale!

[gamerfan09]

There are three major reasons why I hate Justin & Diana.

ONE. The key to a good Amazing Race team is to enjoy the experience.

Justin enjoyed it, sure, but he seems so FORCED when he's enjoying. Justin "enjoying" the Race is like a kid disappointed with a Happy Meal toy but still flaunts it around irritatingly and acting like it's the best thing ever. I literally cringe every time he yells or dances.

All of the teams say: "I love The Amazing Race!". Justin does it with Caps Lock and multiple exclamation points for emphasis along with overused smileys. That's how my metaphor is basically.

TWO. The show literally overfocuses on him.

I wouldn't mind Justin if he popped out only once in a while, but when he pops out MORE THAN TEN TIMES IN BARELY FIVE MINUTES IN THE SHOW ITS IRRITATING. Not only that, watch the previews for each week at the end of the episode.

Episode Two: "The tension between JUSTIN and Team Texas..."
Episode Three: "It's between Team Texas and JUSTIN AND DIANA..."
Episode Four: "JUSTIN AND DIANA walk with royalty..."
Episode Five: "JUSTIN flips out..."
Episode Six: "The tension escalates with JUSTIN AND DIANA..."
Episode Seven: "It's a hard day's work for JUSTIN AND DIANA..."
Episode Eight: Nothing but they end it with Justin laughing
Episode Nine: The first episode this season where they DO NOT show up, but other teams have not gotten the same editing experience? Really gross.
Episode Ten: Nothing because NO TEAM was mentioned but they focus on Justin crying
Episode Eleven: THEM IN THE FINALE FOCUS ON THEM STRUGGLING

Even the recaps are now affected.

On Episode Ten, Phil's recaps have: "At the Detour... Justin & Diana stacked it up. While the OTHERS cut it up." So they mention only THEM and ignore the OTHERS? They couldn't selectively use at least ONE other team to say in the other Detour?

They are so forced down our throats that it's really bad. I (as part of my project) have been analysing these episodes. In TEN episodes there is a total of ONE AND A HALF HOURS OF JUST JUSTIN.

Considering there are a total of at least 450 minutes of the show by now, that means Justin has ONE FIFTH of the screen time. Like.... wow

To further give proof that he is obviously production's number one fave:
-On Leg 6, on the bungee jumping Roadblock, they only showed Denise & James-Earl and Tanner & Josh reading the "Fly to Paris" clue. After third place (THEM) got it, they IMMEDIATELY just super-cut EVERYONE doing it and cut to the airport without them reading the clue.

This is also self-explanatory.



NEARLY HALF OF THE QUOTES ARE FROM HIM. HALF! ONE AWAY FROM SIX!

Plus, the edit has already omitted ENTIRE STORY ARCS AND RECURRING JOKES in the favour of MORE of these two

We never got:
-Kelsey & Joey bickering and not being 100000% PERFECT COUPLE (Leg 2)
-Tiffany & Krista running out of money but Texas gave them (Leg 3), thus giving them a reason to work together and how LEG 8-9 IS INFINITELY SADDER AS A RESULT and PLUS they had like a LOT of scenes where they talk about each other that are only dumped to secrets
-Denise ALWAYS celebrating and singing and dancing in the Taxi when James-Earl completes a Roadblock successfully
-Alex & Adam's entire elimination story arc which was them getting dropped at a wrong place
-Jazmine & Danielle running past an Hours of Operation board FOUR times (In Africa)
-Not showing teams crying about being concerned for their team member (on the bungee Roadblock in Africa before flying to France)
-Teams running past the Detour clue and getting lost for finding the WRONG clue-giver (In France)
-A full explanation of how Denise & James-Earl did so bad in France (they went to a restaurant with the SAME name but no Detour)
-Extended Pit Stop chats are omitted (all with many fun extras!)
-NO. PHIL. CALLING. TEAM. PLACEMENTS.
-NO. FULL. INTRO. WTF? (The TAR24 days are OVER. No NEED FOR A SHORT INTRO!)

And for what? Just so we can see another confessional on how happy Justin is to be on the Race, how EXCITED he is to do a task, how HAPPY he is to be in first, and ANOTHER laugh or dance or boastful comment. And not only that, this season GEOBLOCKS EVERYTHING.

Here is my final point in regards to this:
You can never blame just the edit. Justin makes the content. Do the math.

Considering how this cast is my favourite since TAR17, it's very heartbreaking to see the other teams not get the justice and screen-time they need. Almost everyone is so one-dimensional except these two. These two are like Jeremy and Tasha on this season of Cambodia: They are IRRELEVANT to the week's story but they are STILL SO CP (Complex Personalities via Editing)

THREE: HE. IS. COCKY. AS. F***.

On the first leg AND LEG 11, he was more concerned about not coming in first than being eliminated.

He has had multiple confessionals and statements of: "ANOTHER FIRST PLACE IN THE BAG!"
"HAHAHA WERE FIRST"
"If we get there and there are other teams there, we're leaving in first"
"HE SAID NO HE MEANS NO" (in response to Tanner & Josh failing the meat Roadblock)
"HAHAHA I COULD DO IT BETTER THAN HIM" (in response to Tanner/Josh failing the first Argentina Roadblock)

He LITERALLY assumes they will GET TO U-TURN the MINUTE they start the 10th leg. How confident is he that he already ASSUMES he will get first?

He is also frustrated the minute things do not go his way. Look at how he reacted during the Amsterdam Roadblock. He was more concerned with not getting first instead of avoiding elimination when Diana failed a little. In the Secret Scenes, Tiffany said it best: "Everytime something doesn't go his way, he just frowns, grabs his hat, and starts huffing and puffing." He wants everything to be in his control and the minute it does not, he is more pissed at NOT WINNING than NOT BEING LAST.

If you've read this far, then I'm sorry for being over-negative. But I just had to get this out of my system. I've never had this much hatred for a team since Dave & Connor or the Hippies. *sighs*

Requoting this here. And no. I'm no longer sorry. I am OUTRAGED.

I don't care if they see this. I frankly could not give a ****.

[Vitoko]

IMO this is one of the best episodes of the season but overall a really lackluster leg. The only highlight was the roadblock and not because of the task but because of the setting and the show and performance and the drama.

If Krista doesn't fail that many times
If Justin&Diana don't go to a different location

I don't know where would they get another 30 minutes for the show.

[Theo]

Meanwhile on the ideal world.

Previously on The Amazing Race

Five teams continue racing in India.

Joey has fun at the party.
Joey: "I feel like being in Up."

While Justin crash at the party.
Justin: Oh, crap! All of my balloons fly away.

Logan & Chris seeks for revenge.
Chris: We're U-Turning the green team!
Logan: Sayonara, baby!

Kelsey & Joey won their first leg.
Joey: Finally!

The green team barely avoided the elimination.

But it was the mother/son team who must go home.
Phil: You've both been eliminated from this race.
James Earl & Denise:

Four teams remain, who will be eliminated next?

*commercial break*

I stopped watching this season like 3 episodes ago and I couldn't be happier cz from what I read here it is just getting worse! 

[Andre]

the dilemma is if they win the finale, it will be a nightmare for me, and if they don't win it, they are likely to be included for upcoming UB or AS. That sucks

[Bookworm]

Requoting this here. And no. I'm no longer sorry. I am OUTRAGED.

I don't care if they see this. I frankly could not give a ___.

Then post it in their individual team thread

If they win I sure will.

I havent watched 5 episodes but watched this in HOPE it would provide the outcome to get me through the rest.

[Keepcopz]

I still cannot accept the fact that Kriffany is eliminated and those two survived. REALLY.

Right now, Logan & Chris winning is the only redeeming factor that will move this season up a bit. But I won't hold my breath.

[Jobby]

Can somebody ask Phil a question on twitter?

Does he really think ALL fans will like Justin? Is he even unaware of the type of teams fans like after 27 seasons?

[Bookworm]

I hope Logan & Chris win just so Justin and Diana know that they lost to a team that argued every leg and were a complete trainwreck <333

My plan was to check the results from you guys and if the outcome was the elimination of the green team I would then watch it just to see Justin cry!! I stopped watching this season bcz of him I hope he doesn't win
