The Amazing Race > Amazing Race 32 Start to Finish!
TAR 32 EP 11 LIVE SHOW UPDATES AND COMMENTARY 12/9/20 8-9PM
TARUSAFan:
DeAngelo's comments at the end surprised me while watching the episode. As a superfan, many people audition and dream to be on the Race. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and for his defeatist attitude and disposition at the Pit Stop was definitely uncalled for. That's one side of the story, as cliche as it sounds, there's always 2 sides of a story. Per Gary's revelations via Twitter, the frustration brought about by the alliance, blatantly helping & sharing answers in front of them. I can't blame DeAngelo, seeing that unfold in front of them was sickening to watch. It was like a slap in the face. An alliance and suddenly a sub-alliance emerging. It totally cost them the Race. I liked DeAngelo & Gary from the start, lost it when it went to Berlin but this Leg in Manila, I was rooting for them. It felt like high school where so called "cool kids" were hanging out and you're not welcome to be with them.

I agree that the cheating of some teams by helping each other "sucked". Weren't the teams given instructions not to help each other? Therefore, shouldn't the cheating teams have been given a time penalty? Some teams helping each other was unfair.
I am proud of the NFLers; they did a good job with the tasks. Agree with the post that the NFLers situation with the memory challenge was like the previous Evan and Henry situation with their memory challenge. Why was there a memory challenge on a non-final leg? It would seem to be that a memory challenge would be more appropriate for the final leg.
Also, agree with the post that the attitude toward the NFLers are like the attitude the other teams had towards previous players Leo and Jamal.
This was the Final Four, the playing field should have been equal. The result of the leg should have been on the merits, not by cheating.
Similar to other posters, I am taking a pass on watching the finale; I am going to wait for Phil's Tough As Nails to start in February.

NO teams were able to do it based om memory.
Was the task itself flawed?? Probably. Or was the failure to read the clue correctly part of it?
I would have much preferred a classic memry task. Perhaps we will see that in the Dome next week. I hope so!
Will be an interesting discussion in the overall dissection of this season after the Finale.
Was the alliance brilliant? Or was it a terrible thing for the race itself? I did find it AMAZING that Phil took the time to instruct racers about not helping each other at the start. That alone tells me that production was NOT happy with this alliance. Just IMO.
Tell you what...give me a bit and I'll start an alliance discussion thread so we can have this in one place. :tup:

Phil is clearly not happy with the alliance thing. He has been mentioning that since the elimination of Kaylynn & Haley.

In the exit press, Gary said that they were in and out of the France art roadblock within like 5 minutes and the music wasn't even playing while they were there. So they never heard that song and would've had no way of ever figuring out that France was one of the flags.

Yep, the alliance kinda ruined alot legs/tasks (is the show task now learn from it and find ways to not make it as easy...Least lenear legs would have helped it, rules about teams taking penalty for it. But no Deangelo, shut up. From the top 4 teams, yours was one that had more chances to be eliminated before this leg (even last leg, without the top 3 alliance, with that last task that you messed up big time Deangelo, you would have gone already). Also, with was the first team to ask for help/suggest a alliance at the last task, couple hours ago? Gary and Deangelo, right at the beginning of the task. At least the other three waited/tried and for Hung and Chee and sorry for you guys, but Will and James figured it out their main issue and won their spot. At least, three very competent teams. Gary and Deangelo? Not as good. We saw other teams this season (and in past ones) knowing they would be eliminated, and still finishing the leg, even during the night after a way harder leg, to at least say they made it. Sorry, this is the definition of a real loser, going out like this. Sorry Deangelo, is just a game. Donīt be mad about it, right? You signed for this game and for this strategy.
