TAR 30 EPISODE 9 & 10 LIVE UPDATES/COMMENTARY WED 2/14/18 9-11PM EST
Platrium:
About the retrieved travel documents in past seasons, don't forget we also had Team Fun nearly going to waste in Leg 3.
Now to the recent episode...
The pure-ARI leg was fine. There may be a lack of variety in task types when we only get a detour or only a roadblock or even having a pure-ARI leg, but it's all fine. I guess that's TAR's way of trying something new like the HtH and the Partner Swap. I would've preferred not having 3 legs in a row without roadblocks though. That was too much. We had 2 legs in a row without roadblocks in TAR25 (legs 2 and 3), then we had no roadblock again in Leg 10 during the F4. It was spread out at least. The good thing with this season is that these 3 legs of not having roadblocks are split into 2 2-hour episodes. If that wasn't the case, I'd miss the roadblocks so much. The race would've felt dry by the Bahrain leg.
The elephants task was really awesome! I think it was the fun task that took longer.
Soon... I'll just lay out an outline of my detailed comments per leg. :funny: I don't know if anyone from TAR reads the reviews, but I'm hoping that pointing out the goods and bads per leg would help TAR improve in future seasons, because TAR is my favorite show hands down. :)
Edit: Oh also, I love how TAR added classic TAR music into the Thai leg. Wonderful! I want more of those from time to time.

Am I the only one who reacted to the fact that Cody & Jessica got to go shopping during the, extended, pit stop?
Jessica said she lost her sneaker after the pit stop so I guess production felt partly responsible and that's why they were allowed to do that during the pit stop. Or have I misunderstood something?

In the previous episode, we had a confessional from Henry & Evan after they checked into the pit stop in Harare.
It caught my eye that they looked very glammed up, Henry was even wearing shades and had his hair done. It looked to me like they were probably all given time to walk around.
I don't remember any other confessionals where it looked like teams had had time to clean up.
Maybe Jen could clear this up?

Hey all! Jess didn't buy her shoes during the pit stop. Jess & Cody went to buy the shoes after they ripped their clue at the start of the next leg and saw that it was a travel day. They were the last team to leave, so it wasn't going to make any difference if they went straight to the travel agency to try to get a better flight. They had to use leg money to buy the shoes. They weren't given any extra funds to do so.
As for Henry/Evan after the Harare leg, we didn't do interviews until we got back to the hotel. We did that in Morocco as well. So we had a little bit of time to "spruce up." Most of us were racing in long sleeves because of the Malaria concern, but once we were back in the city and hadn't even seen a single mosquito, a lot of us took of the extra clothes. It was so hot...

Thanks Jen. I actually saw Cody (I think) holding their clue in his hands while they were on their way out of the store shoe shopping. It had already been ripped.
I'm so curious how much extra money teams had and how they skimped and saved.
