--- Quote from: Mr.Nuke on November 25, 2020, 09:20:47 PM ---Yielding Kaylynn & Haley once let alone twice seemed like a tremendously short-sighted thing to do in terms of the overall outcome of the race.
--- End quote ---
Rewatching the ep and after some thinking, their move with the yield is starting to make sense. The goal of mine five to keep them into F5. Let's say if The beard bro's and W/J risk themselves to break their promise by yielding one of the rest alliance members, not only it would break the promise, but the yielded team would also have extra motivation to retaliate and bite them back, and even since there is a U-Turn remaining. They knew the rests of the alliance are pretty competent racers and have bigger chance to survive from the yield, so they would decide the safest risk, which was yielding the blondes. The blondes had a little chance to get into F5 anyway (altho it was mostly because their taxi driver on this occasion )

Oh I get why they did it, that is why I said it seemed like a tremendously short-sighted thing to do. From the get go they wanted to be in the final 5 together and they got their wish at the expense of going nuclear on a team that wasn't really a threat to any of them. Especially if Hung and Chee end up winning there is going to be some second guessing based on this leg. If the gay guys or the volleyball brothers get eliminated next week instead of one of the 2 fringe alliance teams there is going to be second guessing based on this leg.

Oh I mean I didn't disagree with your point at all. Just quoted because I wanted to explain how their move started to make any sense
Kamineko:
Gonna post my comment for both episodes here because the other thread is pretty quiet, but I'm really loving the leg design, especially the first half. As a software engineer myself, I'm really happy to see some IT-related tasks finally happening and really became the focus for the first half of the mega-leg. Both the Detour and the Roadblock are not "forced" and I'm pretty sure that the preparation for the "Number Trap" task was not easy.
I really wonder if the game they played already exist before this, because if they really create the game just for the sake of this task, I want to applaud whoever design this challenge. :clap2:
I just want to say that I never saw the "Mine Five" happening from the start, because all I see is a 3+1 alliance. The 3-core are already tight with DeAngelo & Gary are just kind of a "leech". However, I never saw Eswar & Aparna really included in the alliance. Perhaps it's because Eswar & Aparna were almost always behind the others, thus I don't think the siblings were benefited in any way. Perhaps the talks with Eswar & Aparna happened off-camera, I don't know.
In the end, a really well-planned leg with great and solid tasks, showcasing all aspects of India, but ruined in the execution because of the "Mine Five Four" alliance.

The leg design has been really stellar this season. It’s a really good route too.

--- Quote from: mnicole on November 25, 2020, 10:17:36 PM ---I like Hung and Chee, But Hung does not appear to like being a mother. In an interview she said that "for the past 10 years, it has been work, and kid, and kid, and kid"; the way she said it seemed like she considers it a chore to be a mother. And today, she said children's fluids are DISGUSTING.

I personally doubt that Hung' statements of being parents proved her not liking being a mother at all. I might not notice on the former, but on the latter, you gotta admit, even if you love being a parent, taking care children's fluid is something that you wish you would have avoided, especially in the early stage of being parents :lol:

This is an awful and baseless thing to say. Hung quite literally said that handling children's body functions has desensitized her to what might traditionally be seen as gross. I'm sure she and Chee are wonderful parents.
