TAR 31 EP 9 LIVE UPDATES & COMMENTARY WED 6/12/19 8PM
RaceUntilWeDie:
I think this was the best designed leg since TAR 29's Greece. For the first time I think this season, the tasks felt brand new and not like a rehash of previous tasks (yes, even the seemingly impossible needle-in-a-hay-stack Detour felt new). It really felt like a first-time visit to Croatia but it wasn't.
1. Tyler & Korey - They should've given 1st to Nic & Vic seeing there's a U-Turn on the next leg (but they obviously don't know as much as us viewers lol) but it doesn't seem like they're on anyone's radar even after four consecutive 1st place finishes.
2. Nicole & Victor - Even though Team Fun didn't really cut, I liked seeing them make a "comeback." They've had a rough few legs.
3. Becca & Floyd - I think this leg would've been theirs if their flight wasn't delayed. I think it's kind of hilarious how both of them can apply their real life skills to the most random challenges every episode lmao.
4. Colin & Christie - starting to see them as less dominant and just more consistent/level-headed. Nicole & Victor came close to 1st more times than these two ever have all season. Also, I was excited to see Christie do this Roadblock on her own but her and Leo working together ruined it lol.
5. Leo & Jamal - what were they getting wrong at the Detour? I thought they were doing fine ??? They continue to amaze me week after week, with how after dominating the first two legs, they are like, a weak team lol.
6. Chris & Bret - As much as I liked these guys, they deserved to go. Blowing a near 3-hour lead on a Detour?!
The rushed editing at the end ruined what was a really good leg. We could have done without 500 poem attempts and had a nice, suspenseful race to the mat. I will somewhat let it slide since Leo and Christie worked together at the Roadblock (and Chris & Bret were that far behind) and killed the suspense for the editors. How epic would it have been if all Leo, Christie, and Chris did the Roadblock at the same time though.
Oh, and airport drama. :conf: There is absolutely no way the editors could have left all of this drama out lmao.
LEG RANKINGS:
9 > 4 > 2 > 8 >>>> 7 > 5 > 3 > 6 > 1
BoxOfficeR:
^ I agree with your assessment of Leo\Jamal. They seem to struggle on every leg yet still survive somehow :duno:
NELs:
It's so great seeing airport drama return to TAR. If only they can do this on every leg where teams need to fly somewhere. The two short ARI tasks before the Detour were fine. Serving up drinks, and doing something with the gnome were fun little tasks. The Detour was great and challenging. The treasure hunt Detour was basic, but had challenge to it. The Raft Poem Detour was great, but the episode took too much time on it. The Roadblock was fun to watch (especially for the visual). Also two Pit Stops in a row where they have to use boats to get to it is a way to spice things up.
Rating: 4/5
