Episode 3 Thoughts
That episode was awesome! The tasks were all awesome to watch and they were quite difficult! I agree, my neck got extremely sore from watching that fez task! That soap stacking Roadblock was extremely difficult, it was hilarious to watch teams paint a huge step with such a tiny paintbrush and that last task with the "Blue Maze", well let me just say you'd hate to live in Chefchaoeun if you hate the color blue! :funny: :lol:
I thought the merge went really well! It was extremely funny to watch the Racers reaction when they found out that their chances of winning the Race had gone down from a 1 in 9 chance to a 1 in 18 chance! I'm also looking forward to seeing some drama and tension between Flick & Gabby and Angel that's for sure!
This season is amazing so far and it's quite sad to see that the season Ratings aren't translating to how awesome the season's been so far! Hopefully, the ratings pick for next week episodes, which look even better then this weeks!

Episode 3 Thoughts
Probably one of the wildest rides of any TAR, ever. 36 humans running every which way!
Highlights:
Jodie and Claire rocking the tassel task. First place over SEVENTEEN younger teams.
Seeing some of the more positive team interactions. Jake/Holly and Heath/Toni having a lovely bonding moment over their cancer, and Jake's confessional about Toni. Lauren/Steph gamely offering to carry Toni's bag for a few seconds after she fell shows that you don't always have to step on peoples' toes to get ahead; it's a marathon, not a cage match. I'm betting Lauren/Steph earned more than a few karma points from that one from Heath/Toni.
Lowlights:
Jake and Holly's quit. Granted, it seemed much more justified than the Rachel quit and the Bren/Anja quit, since they'd been at it for two hours, but the next task was a giant equalizer, and had they kept going...but hindsight is 20/20. I did like the fact that they seemed pretty genuine, especially Holly, and not whiny or complaining at all. And now Jake can get some rest, he sounded like he was suffering from bronchitis or laryngitis, and if so, if it's not treated right away with medicine and rest could have possibly led to a medical removal for their team; if he had either one, the constant changes of air due to cabin pressure and changing climates due to the locale would have only made him even more sick.
The soap task seemed to be on the tough side for Leg 3. Not the assembly part, but the one tiny clue part.
Teams Who Were Borderline Invisible:
Heard and saw very little of Fliss/Tottie, Stuart/Glennon, Tammy/Vincent, and Morgan/Lilli.
WTF Moments:
Why the hell did Tiffany and Cynthia look like they'd been in a massive paint fight, while most of the other teams looked relatively clean?
Why didn't any of the teams dump the paint on the steps, were they not allowed to do that?
Also, congrats to Heath/Toni, Cynthia/Tiffany, Reem/Crystal, and Jodie/Claire for setting records as the first teams to come in 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th and be safe in TAR history. However, sorry, Jake and Holly; Heather and Eve from TARUS 3 beat you as the first team to check in first but get eliminated (rumor has it though, that in spite of Heather/Eve's massive mistake, that leg in particular was riddled with production errors, as were several others on that race). However, Jake/Holly do now hold the franchise record for most spots dropped, so there's that. Overall, I would not mind seeing Jake/Holly have another go if TARAUS does an Unfinished Business (and while they're at it, casting Shane/Deb, Sefa/Jessica, Chris/Aleisha, Amanda/Ashleigh, and Jaskirat/Anurag).
Joberio:
Well, that was fun. A whole lot of fun. But very tense, as well.
Don't know how I feel about things turning into Melbourne Group vs. Sydney group. For the most part, the teams are helping those in the group who started with them. Don't like the clique-y feeling of that.
Was sad to not see a Detour, but the Roadblock was definitely a well-planned task. And I liked that the three racers from each group could work together, since that task would be draining to do alone.
The steps task was much ado about nothing, as I barely understood what was going on.
The door search looked grueling. I can't believe that Jodie & Claire's guide turned out to be as useless as he was. But that whole area looked like a total maze.
Congrats to Flick & Gabby on the win! With seven women's teams remaining, one of them, at least, had damn sure better win at least one leg! Pity the rest of them, save for Steph & Lauren, finished so low. Jodie & Claire and Fliss & Tottie, in particular, came out of tasks in first, yet still finished so low!
Sorry for Jake & Holly to go out like that. If they'd just stuck with the tassel twirling and not taken the penalty, and every other event happened as they did, they'd have gotten the win, and Jodie & Claire would've been gone. But too bad. And I can totally see Holly crying over the loss, but I was shocked that Jake did, too. Guys don't usually cry over this.
Great episode, all the same, though!

Fun fact - with the exceptions of the Vegans and Morgan & Lilli, every single one of the 20 teams this season has already been Currently in 4th Place or higher at BEST this season in a matter of only two legs (at least top half) and even then the Vegans technically got to the first clue of Group B's leg in 4th place!
This cast came to compete :2hearts:

Jake's voice sounds like this is because he had cancer.
