TARC 6 Episode 5 LIVE UPDATES and Discussion Thread!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Maanca:
I actually loved the "traps" on this leg, lol. 4 teams ending up in Oshawa 2 hours in the wrong direction, and then the surprise Pit Stop to catch everyone without their backpacks.

Leanne and Mar struggling this leg UGH  :groan:

Leafsfan:
This leg was quite good! All the tasks had more than one element too them, which made it harder for teams.

Also, I am pretty sure I saw a photo with all seven team members not doing the RB sitting at the theatre in Stratford (and now I cannot find it anywhere). However, during the episode, it was clearly indicated that not all seven teams were there at the same time. ???

Also, the next looks promising, and hopefully it delivers.

Xoruz:
Leg 5

I thought that it was a good episode. I liked the idea of fake outs and the clues not being straight forward. While the assembly plant was an HOO, teams that correctly figured out the correct location were given a time advantage. The clue at the end of the Detour made no mention of the Pit Stop, so I liked that teams were thrown off guard. We got a lot of placement shifts and plenty of fake outs over who would finish first and last. After flying to and from Jakarta, this was also a good spot to put a KOR.

Martina's recipe analogy.  :funny:

The side glance Nancy & Mellisa's judge gave to the camera.  :funny:

"I'm dying." 5 seconds later...Dies  :funny:

Assembly: Pretty intricate task.
Sword: I'm an avid fencer (foil not sabre, which was used in the episode), so I have a personal bias towards this task though some of those bouts were cringeworthy. Overall I enjoyed it.
Pedal: Easy task to jump ahead or fall behind on. The fact that Dylan and Kwame stumbled onto the Pit Stop by luck without having to solve the puzzle does detract from this task.
Package: A tedious task, but I liked that there wasn't an ongoing demonstration that way teams could figure out on their own that they had a tool to speed up packaging. Also liked the stickers tripping up teams as well.

4/5

TARC really needs a strong casting department, cause at these subpar legs only the cast carries them.
2 Assembly lines tasks in the same leg :|
the Stratford upon Avon boating task had no substance to it, other than solving the emoji rebus (cringe.)
The roadblock was good, but it was ANOTHER Choreography oriented task (and as you can see in the sneak peek there is another dancing task in Ontario :|) and it could've been made harder.
The overwhelming number of product placement we've had so far.
You can already sense they're running out of tasks to do within Canada.

Thank the lord the cast is carrying this season <3
Nancy & Mel <3 and Martina & Phil <3
Leg 4's u-turn was pretty decent so I'm looking forward to Leg 6, even though it's in the most generic Canadian city. Seriously, if they wanted to spend another leg in Ontario they could've visited Kitchener instead.
