Phil would love to meet everyone, but gets started introducing twists. First time starting outside the race, and... teams are allowed to complete tasks in any sequence. AND NON-ELIMINATIONS ARE BEGONE! Audrey & David say this is a do or die situation.
Meanwhile, Aastha & Nina finally get in their cars to drive off!
INTRO!!!
And that is a WRAP on the premiere of TAR34!
Give your comments, concerns, critiques, compliments, and everything in between here. I know I had fun! Such a very unique and explosive leg.
Pretty underwhelming cast IMO, which is a shame because there's 12 teams this time around. I haven't felt this indifferent about the teams since maybe TAR 30. There's no big personality standouts besides Derek & Claire (and I wouldn't even say they're my favorite team) - and when they're also evidently one of the stronger teams (just based on this first episode alone), it could make for a boring watch.

I really like some of the teams and am very eager to see them in action. Bit much on dancers though. :funny: And y'all know I am not much (hate??) the use of other CBS casts although I understand it MIGHT bring in more viewers. I want ordinary people doing extraordinary things please.
Derek & Claire are doing recaps this season. Episode 1 went up last night

The Scramble was fun once, but hopefully this is the only time they do it. It was just a weird, unstructured hour of pretty lame tasks imo.
Often times, first episodes aren't a good gauge of teams' personalities. They're still too relaxed and part of the airtime is eaten up by their introductions. We should start seeing what they're really made of in the next episode or two.
