TARC 6 Episode 3 LIVE UPDATES and Discussion Thread

<< < (8/9) > >>

Musicon:
All the express passes gone, great.  Those using it at the very first task just didn't want to feel ill I guess.  In retrospect using it at the knot roadblock at the end would have been best if in any trouble.  But I understood the express pass at the fairy door task, if all other teams have gone you can't depend on there being an equalising task ahead.

The knot roadblock was easily the hardest part, the others seemed relatively processional.  I'd rather have the toughest part last.  The racing car task could have been good, but the time to beat seemed too easy.  The eliminated team seemed to go around slowly and yet still made the time.  The fairy door task could have been harder for teams at the back as the easier ones may have been picked up already.  At first when I saw the speed bump I thought it would be hard, but they didn't have to remember anything as the tasting was at the same point as the labeling, and the tastes seemed clear enough.

Not sad that they are gone from the game, but mostly annoyed about how they were used.

Such a weird leg design. Not sure how to feel about another double RB leg, without a Detour and we have yet to see a Face-Off this season. Liked that my favorite team won the leg, yet this has been my least favorite leg of the season so far.

A detour at the start where people could have fled the eating task would have changed things.  Though using the express passes at least meant we saw less people vomiting.

Idk how to feel about this leg.

I mean, that pie task was so stupidly easy yet it caused so much chaos, it was hilarious. I mean, I didn't expect the express passes to be washed away by 2 pies, but I'd be winded too if I had to eat an entire pie and run a leg.

Another Chevrolet sponsored car-circuit task *sigh* I didn't mind it but meh, too lenient of a time frame and only 1 team messed up.
The raptor task was also easy, but it was definitely the factor of a deadly bird of prey sitting on your arm and a 15 second time limit that caused teams to crack.
Didn't expect Joseph & Akash to fall flat on that roadblock, but oh well. Didn't really like them as such so I won't miss them, but thank them for their service to those in need <3

I'm praying for the Indonesia leg to be good!! A Blind u-turn ahead, can't wait.

Xoruz:
Leg 3

I guess we have a new leg 3 curse. :lol: I wasn't sure what to think when watching the episode live, but after rewatching this was definitely the weakest of the 3 legs. It didn't feel as fun as leg 2 or as competitive as leg 1. When you compare this leg to the TAR 29 Dar es Salam, TARUS did it much better despite both having a mid-leg ferry. When the show incorporates this type of leg design, you have to have either a very hard task or really great teams. TAR 29 had both. TARC's RBs weren't as hard as the ladle task and the teams aren't standouts so far. I like them all but I only have a couple of standouts, so that weakens the episode.

Joseph & Akash get lost while driving to the airport on literally one road.  :funny:
Wild boar Martina  :funny:
Martina naming dogs after cars.  :funny:
"Yelling my name doesn't make the mat any closer."  :funny:
Martina is the absolute best this season Show contentand she'll get the sewing task that she wanted

Salt: Seemed hard when described but Z/M made it look easy.
Pie: Always like when teams have to eat a large amount of food. Can understand why 2 EPs were used.
Fairy Door: Nice location, but not much to say.
Corvette: This task and the ferry killed the momentum of the leg. Really easy aside from Courtney's mistake, and it doesn't help that only one team could do it at at time.
Knot: Better RB, but Akash was really the only person who struggled to the point of dropping his team's placement significantly.

Hoping that the Blind Double U-Turn shakes things up and the fact that it's blind will make teams less afraid to use it due to their hero status. International legs usually deliver & we're getting an underused city in Jakarta.

2/5

Nyoman_SB1:
i agree that this leg is the weakest so far. I wish they did all tasks on Salt Spring Island, and i feel like we've seen so many ferries this season lol.. Glad that we have new winner in this leg, but sad Joseph and Akash eliminated. Can't wait for Jakarta leg, i don't really like the preview, but hopefully the leg will deliver
