TAR 31 EPISODE 5 & 6 LIVE UPDATES & COMMENTARY WED 5/22/19 8PM EST *read Post 1*

<< < (14/15) > >>

Marionete:
I wish this head to head was cut from the episode, too, and we saw more from each team during the episode instead.
... also we wouldn't have had to endure Phil's cringeworthy attempt at impersonating Jeff Probst.

But overall, both of these episodes seemed much weaker than the Vietnam legs to me:/ Maybe it was the lack of suspense, but the tasks as a whole were pretty boring. Uganda really could have used a second leg, I don't understand why they didn't stay there longer.

dryedmangoez:
I think they kept the Head to Head here just so they could include the #MomSquad moment at the end. And the whole idea of two BB teams and friends having to face off against each other for elimination. I would guess if it were any other teams, they'd have edited it out here too.

They sped through the other matches in a way that was the minimum in order to have it make sense and allow them to use all that footage between the Reillys and Janelle & Britney at the end.

stunami:
They had no choice to show it, if not you cant explain why the two teams checked together at the same time and just J/B be eliminate

Marionete:
That's true, I didn't think of that.
Still, the head-to-head was the worst part of the episode for me.

Xoruz:
Leg 5

After the terrible ending to Survivor, I needed a palate cleanser. Thankfully, I have TAR and Survivor SA. Dubai is the most overrated location in the Middle East, so I wan't thrilled to see it again. Several of the legs in this location tend to blend together with the international franchises as particularly egregious examples. To the show's credit, aside from the random visit to the desert, the tasks were pretty different from previous visits to Dubai. We didn't get camels, and we didn't get water parks. It was also fun to see Dubai at night. This leg was pretty simple, yet it brought out a lot of emotions between Janelle & Britney at the Detour and Rachel & Elissa during the entire leg.

Elissa: "This is my show." Rachel: "Well"  :funny:
Tyler & Korey's taxi driver taking a selfie.  :funny:
Elissa: "At least we got to see more of Dubai." Rachel: "Yeah"  :funny:
Becca & Floyd were meant to be dinosaurs.  :funny:
Bret mocking Chris's accent.  :funny:
Colin's dance moves  :funny:
Rapping Phil Keoghan  :funny:

Fall: It was fun that the clue was made vague to cause confusion. The clue told teams to be watchful, yet they were still surprised with a quiz. This task also brought quite some drama with teams considering switching from Find.
Find: This was pretty much a HaMerotz LaMillion style task, and I loved it. This was a lot of fun to watch.
Silent Disco: I find the amount of crossover between TAR 31 and Belgian Mole 7 pretty funny as The Mole also had a silent disco task. It was a nice variation on a needle & haystack task.

3/5
