RachelLeVega:
Next week on TAR!
Show contentCamels! Teams dive into Dubai! And the competition revs up (Fast Forward!!!) with an ending you don't want to miss.
RachelLeVega:
And that was the bookend of our Indonesian outing with a heavy sting for a strong team. They raised their frequency of confessionals this airing, so in relation to that, please confess what you think of tonight's episode below. Anything is on the table - comments, critiques, positives, and disappointments. I encourage everyone to join the thread below and I'll see you all same time next week!
Maanca:
I sympathize for Ana. Two friends I've known since junior high, now married, had a daughter who wasn't expected to survive 5 minutes but went on to live for 6 years. Sadly, she just recently passed.
Jonathan at the end reminded me of Nick from Season 17, who just didn't care anymore in their last couple legs (You could practically see the disappointment in him when they caught a Non-Elimination)
Xoruz:
This episode did feel like it was pulling a lot from other legs. Still, it made for a physical leg during summer in Bali. The tweak with a Traitors style vote rather than an open discussion worked better though I still think private voting works best. At the very least in this instance, the vote added to the stress of Scott & Lori and Jonathan & Ana. Hearing the extra context about Ana's ectopic pregnancy does a bit to flesh her and Jonathan out, though I doubt a certain corner of the internet will care.
Pi:
Not really a fan of these voting U-Turns (or any U-Turn before a Detour, for that matter). I don't like how it creates an emphasis on the discussion of a team's "social game". Also, having a voting U-Turn the leg immediately after the Driver's Seat just feels like forced drama. It's almost too heavy-handed. I would have preferred a Yield so it's not as much of a grueling penalty (two Detours in the hot sun). Or, letting a leg or two go by, changing countries and letting things develop further between teams before going to a U-Turn vote would have been more interesting IMO.
I like how the Roadblock allowed for the potential for placement changes (and thus, potential for a comeback), even though major shifts didn't actually materialize.
Scott & Lori were legitimately a strong team, and the others picked up on it enough to identify them as a threat. I'm not sure they could have done anything different. No reason to hang their heads, they ran the race well.
