TAR 30 EPISODE 1 LIVE UPDATES & COMMENTARY WED 1/3/18 8PM EST *read Post 1*
NMC:
Now I've had a few days to reflect on the episode, I'm still rather disappointed with this Leg. :(
Don't wanna have a totally negative post, so the things I had a problem with.
- The chopping, all-over-the-place, editing! Think this was universally hated though.
- Phil once again not saying all team placements. :groan:
- The new intro! Really didn't like the new animations for the teams.. Would much rather the older versions. And the "Hosted By" bit was just :groan:
- Hated we weren't told about the 2 flights.
I know TAR isn't known for it's great premiere episodes, so I'm just really hoping it picks up next week, because I'd hate to be a new viewer tuning in for the first time, and THIS being the first episode I ever saw.
Maybe i'm just turning into an old grump. :funny: :cmas10

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but this seems to be where the recent episode 1 discussion is happening.
Jen Hudek of the skiers team posted a blog with her thoughts and more background information from episode 1. Much of it is stuff we already knew but there is some interesting stuff. Jen says that flight 1 did not serve any food to the passengers but flight 2 did. She said that by the end of the leg she hadn't eaten or slept in about 30 hours. Here's the link: http://jenhudak.com/amazing-race-30-1/ .
Also, I found a link that was supposed to be a 30 minute youtube video that Cody and Jess put up about their thoughts and extra information about episode 1. It appears to have been taken down. I tried to find their Youtube account but got lost in all the BB fan Youtube accounts. If any of you know a link to Cody and Jessica's Youtube account, you may find another version of this video. Here's the non-working link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcCzfVCEO00

Their YouTube Channel is called "Living Jody" and you are right... the video is no longer on it. The only video about TAR is the one where they showed what they packed in their 1 bag Cody carried.

Maybe Jessica and Cody helped ratings, I hope they last in this race, plus I liked them on BB (Jessica more, but Cody was ok too). :)
First ep I thought the spelling challenge was quite good and some navigation problems too.

If we're not getting 2 seasons a year anymore, I wouldn't be mad at all if TAR aired exactly like this each year!
... only, there could be a couple fewer double episodes. :cmaslol

Maybe it doesn't get interrupted by basketball or anything in this slot??
