Realtime clip of what I overcame on my way home this evening. :funny:
Speaking of which, we'll drift into another episode of TAR in less than 2 hours. Meet with me here then.

And we are back on!!! :-*

Previously on TAR, 9 teams continued traveling through Indonesia! At a live double U-Turn vote, Jon & Ana and Scott & Lori each received a devastating blow. Carson & Jack celebrated staying under the radar while Nick & Mike struggled and drove themselves coconuts, but it was Brett & Mark who triumphed. Jon & Ana felt the heat, but Scott & Lori were cut loose. Teams will be traveling into Dubai with a photo finish ending.

Brett & Mark depart 1st at 3:55 A.M. Fly to Dubai! Phil mentions the Fast Forward is returning!

Brett & Mark are going to another travel agency, Abbey Travel, whoohoo! :2hearts: Mark realizes all the teams will be on the same flight.

Carson & Jack depart 2nd at 4:04. They love that they are slipping by and Jack feels like a FF is coming with a positive twist.

Alyssa & Josiah depart 3rd at 4:09. Josiah is excited to see Dubai and Alyssa wants to maintain the energy.

Pops & Jeff depart 4th a few minutes after and Jeff (younger) describes his upbringing with his dad.

Jeff 2x are excited to do stuff in the desert while Vegas performers, DnD, and Alyssa & Josiah arrive. Han & Holden depart 5th. Han is excited to "make it out of Asia". Melinda & Erika depart in 6th. Erika is relieved the double U-Turn saved them. Nick & Mike depart in 7th. They are going for number one today. Jon & Ana depart in last, and Ana wants to get back in the top of the pack again. They feel like meeting up with DnD again will be awkward as they were U-Turned by them. They have a bit of bad blood with each other.

We get a food court confrontation. :lol: Carson & Jack and Alyssa & Josiah share a tense moment with Ana by herself next to a ramen menu board. Everyone is boarding a Batik Air flight to Dubai. Jeff 2x says it's crazy how the group has shrunk. Josiah wants to turn the competition up a notch. The plane is off!

Short intro and commercials.

We come back to towering Dubai shots. Teams must make their way to Platinum Desert Heritage Gate and pick out a coffee cup at a marked Bedouin camp of 5:10 or 5:20 A.M. as their departure time the following morning.

And a rush of the 8 teams coming out of the airport to the taxi stand!! Mark asks the taxi driver what he loves most about the city, they think he said "Wiz Khalifa".

Carson & Jack and Alyssa & Josiah drive by camels in the night, smelling camel poop and desert.

Aly & Josiah arrive at the cups first and choose the earliest one. All other teams running in with Han & Holden and Jon & Ana picking the earliest. Carson & Jack pick 5:10 as well.

Josiah says it was awesome to have the drummers greeting them in such a special way. Melinda & Erika, Jeff 2x, Brett & Mark, and Nick & Mike are left with 5:20 A.M. times. Nick & Mike aren't stressed because they are leaving with three other teams in the same situation. Everyone is tucking in for the night. "We had dinner, now we are having desert." - Josiah. "The dad jokes never stop."

Group 1 leave by camelback through the hazy desert scene. Carson & Jack feel this is the epitome of their nerd-dom. Han & Holden feel sad they couldn't share this experience with their sister.

Group 2 at 5:20 in a more HQ scene. Group 1 is caught up in fog. They pick up the next clue and the box.

ROADBLOCK: Who wants to drop into Dubai?
One team member must skydive about the Palm Jumeirah Island and meet up with their non-performing partner. They will then decide if they want to go for the Fast Forward. Oh, interesting, post-Roadblock.

All teams are essentially arriving at the same time.

Melinda and Pops are both talking about their skydive thrills. Jack, Holden, Aly, and Ana are on the first plane - now there's a more disparate split. Brett, Nick, Pops, and Melinda are on the second plane. Group 1 is over the island already while Group 2 is taking off.

Josiah is more worried about Alyssa than himself and is a little freaked out despite not doing this task.

So far very linear and a ot of bunch points. Wonder if the FF is hard enough that might actually be better to do the other challenges, or if it will be breeze a help someone take the leg.

Jack takes the first plunge and he is in the sky! :conf:

Holden makes a chipmunk expression as he heads out of the plane.

Alyssa and Ana dive next! Teams at the Palm Jumeirah landing zone are pointing out their teammates' dots in the sky.

Jack is the first to land and gets the clue. Holden lands right after. Alyssa comes down excited with Josiah crying with Jeff 2x speaking for them. Josiah is speechless with how happy he is.

FAST FORWARD: Find the orange luxury Audi and take a deep scuba dive to retrieve the next clue.

Han & Holden are trying to find the car and are having no luck.

Commercials.

We come back to our first Fast Forward since... Team Fun?

Han and Holden are searching while Carson & Jack immediately get into the car in front of them. "Dam it, we were so close!" - Han.

Alyssa & Josiah rip open the route info clue instead. ROUTE INFO: Atlantis The Royal.

Carson & Jack are excited for the scuba. Meanwhile, Group 2 is ready to dive.

Brett describes the gravity and pressure on his face not allowing him to stick out his tongue. Pops, Nick, and Melinda follow through!

Brett lands and Mark yells to get his butt over there. Nick receives the clue right after with Pops saying the only thing he wants to do left is bungee jump. Mel lands and says the dive was beautiful! Back 4 teams going to Atlantis.

Alyssa & Josiah and Han & Holden arrive at the Atlantis hotel first, tipping their drivers. It's a sprint to the box. Jon & Ana are 3rd at the box.

ROUTE INFO: Prepare afternoon tea, assembling a pastry display, to receive the next clue.

Meanwhile, Brett & Mark pass Mike & Nick. Jeff 2x also pass them with Nick having no luck telling their taxi driver to maintain their position.

Vegas, New York, Jeff 2x, and Mel all arrive at the hotel. It's too many pastry chefs in the kitchen now. :funny:

Carson & Jack arrive at Deep Dive Dubai and say goodbye to the Audi drive. Phil reveals more about this task - find the hidden FF plaque hidden in this replica of a sunken city, an Atlantis if you say.

Nick & Mike have catching up to do and are trying to learn from their mistakes.

Understand why it is only one spot, but kinda wished that competing for the opportunity for the FF was a bit more fairer.
