TAR 31 EPISODE 3 LIVE UPDATES & COMMENTARY WED 5/1/19 9PM EST *read Post 1*
RaceUntilWeDie:
TEAMS:
1. Becca & Floyd - Nice to finally see them on top even though this leg was kinda sorta designed just for Floyd.
2. Nicole & Victor - Hoping to see them win a leg soon, they've been racing well. Also, Victor was the best karaoke singer and the only one who deserved to pass tbh.
3. Colin & Christie - They need to dominate a leg or completely melt down because right now, they're just.. there. I love Colin's energy lol especially when they arrived at the mat.
4. Tyler & Korey - It's kind of surprising they haven't finished in the Top 2 yet... they finished in 1st/2nd for the first 5 legs of S28. I'm not complaining, though. I like non-dominant Tyler & Korey better.
5. Corinne & Eliza - lol at them somehow passing Tyler & Korey at the Detour! They're definitely one of the more frantic/aggressive F/F teams (compared to, say, Nicky & Kim or Ally & Ashley from S23) and I like that about them. And their negativity is actually hilarious. I lol'd at Eliza annoying Victor at the Roadblock.
6. Janelle & Britney - They finally got airtime this week but I still don't have much to say about them other than that they're moms lol.
7. Rachel & Elissa - They don't know how to work together as a team and I feel like that's gonna backfire on them soon. It's always a blame game whenever they're struggling.
8. Leo & Jamal - Nice to see them at the back. Hopefully they're even slightly humbled but I wouldn't count on it lol
9. Chris & Bret - They were getting an unusually large amount of airtime so it was obvious they were coming in 1st or last. It's kinda weird tho how they seemed excited to make a comeback when their placements have been 7th-8th-9th so far.
TASKS:
Meh, I don't even wanna break them down this leg. They were all standard TAR tasks but they didn't belong in a single episode together. It just made the whole leg feel like a replacement leg (i.e cheap).
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- I'm sorry for complaining about the editing every week but not sorry. The editors have completely given up on consistency. Not showing "Currently in ___ place" after teams complete tasks, rarely ever showing "PROCEED TO: ______" Route Infos (something I forgot to mention in the first 2 legs), and even Phil's standups seem rushed.
- The teams are really carrying this season tbh. Best inter-team interaction since idk when.
Next episode definitely looks a lot fuller (and physical!) than what we got this episode. Hope it doesn't let me down like this episode did.
So far, in terms of legs: 2 > 3 > 1
cbacbacba1:
We have clear front runners already after 3 episodes. (Nicole & Victor, Colin & Christie)
Whereas Corinne & Eliza, Janelle & Brittney and obviously Chris & Bret are falling behind. :groan:
The situation looks like season 28 all over again. (Dancers, Tyler & Korey, Burnie & Ashley, Brodie & Kurt in front, Erin & Joslyn, Scott & Blair and Sheri & Cole always at the back)
nrh2110:
Thank you so much Rachel! Really appreciate it.
I’ll post my thoughts when I get back from the bar haha (or tm morning)

Completely agree. They've been so disappointingly boring so far imo.

In their defense, they still have finished in the front of the pack in 3rd and 4th and only finished 7th in leg 2 because of the u-turn. Even with the u-turn, they still finished ahead of two non-u-turned albeit weak teams and the team that u-turned them.
NELs:
This leg was just okay. Nothing in this leg stuck out. First of all this is three legs where all teams are on the same flight. Can this just stop, all teams being on the same flight is annoying, I'm glad they're showing scenes at airports, but its not scenes the fans want. The Detour was terrible and boring. Teams catching the prawns was boring, and the dancing task sucked. The Roadblock did not need to be there and felt repetitive after we JUST saw one side of the Detour being performing something. Also this leg felt extremely short too.
Rating 2/5
Teams I like:
Colin & Christie (To be fair, they didn't start to get their iconic moments until Legs 4-6 in TAR5)
Becca & Floyd
Corinne & Eliza
Teams I'm meh on:
Nicole & Victor
Janelle & Britney
Rachel & Elissa
Chris & Bret
Teams I don't like:
