TAR 32 EPISODE 2 Live Show Updates & Commentary 10/21/20 9PM

NELs:
Wow, another great episode of the Race. I loved the new Yield rules, where you get a 10 or 20 minute hourglass, and can use it whenever a Yield comes up. 

The mini-task after the overnight rest was so great, and I loved how teams had to transport the emerald or gold back to Bogotá.

The circus task was a quick task that no one struggled in except Alana. Many team members seemed to get it done quickly, which is fine but would have benefited with something extra.

The decoration task with teams struggling on attention to detail was fantastic as well. Many teams not reading the clue, a TAR staple, and with many teams still in it was very hectic.

Overall, every team is delivering so far.   :2hearts: :cheer:

I also liked the old-school TAR music when the last three teams were fighting to stay in the Race, also I loved the taxi drama in this episode as well.

Show contentSad to see Kellie and Lavonne go, they were strong competitors and just had bad taxi luck.
Rating: 4/5

Theo:
I also like this leg, wow I think it's been a while since I enjoy the first two legs in recent seasons.

(or is it because I miss TAR so much that I will devour everything they put)

Marionete:
I think y'all have rose colored glasses on. Which is understandable, given the show's long hiatus.

The episode was good if not great. Editing was much better than 1st episode and again seemed like we got to see (most) teams an even amount of time.
The leg? Cmon, it wasn't good at all. Sure, there being no detour allowed for better editing, but had there been a detour, this would be a top tier leg stuffed with a variety of tasks. In reality it was extremely linear and only Michelle/Victoria managed to make up significant time.

Bad design, great execution.
Big shame as I loved Colombia's first visit in S28. With them only going there for a single leg this time, my expectations were higher than they should've been.

Next episode looks like it will be the best one yet though, in all aspects.

ovalorange:
Yeah this leg was pretty shiethouse, I'm glad someone else can call it as it is. The tasks were pathetic and a waste of Bogota.

That said though, the episode was better than I expected given the previews for this week. I think that's probably most attributed to how strong this cast is.

I'm really not sure why Phil made it seem the teams wouldn't know about the horns when it was in the clue card and also played by the judge during the check. How none of the teams caught onto that I don't really understand.

Bookworm:
The Circus task was just bad. It was super linear and not terribly relevant to Colombia (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). I at first thought Phil was going to segue into a FARC connection with the circus as rehabilitation when he mentioned "peace and nonviolence" in the demo, but there was no such follow-up.

I liked the gold/emerald task, it added a little bit of culture without much effort, plus it was a cute start to the Leg. I even liked the Yield Gamble, though I think 30 minutes is too far apart to place teams on Leg 2. The first 20 minutes of this Leg, with the Yield hourglasses, felt like they were setting up for the season rather than an independent Leg in of itself. For that reason, I think this Leg should've been a NEL. 80% of teams' placements were more or less determined by their taxi ride to Nemocón the night before most of the racing. That's just bad design.

I enjoyed the Volqueta task and the intro to the Leg, but it was severely weakened by such a linear and anticlimactic Roadblock. Colombia has more to offer than that.
