Yay at them actually editing the elimination nicely, rather than a quick, meaningless 15-second send-off. But it's really upsetting that they were first to go. I wouldn't have been fine with any of the bottom three leaving.

I was disappointed Brittany & Jessica didn't get 5th after a [pretty] good Detour performance.

Overall the second half of the episode was better than the first half. The Roadblock was visually appealing and provided for a great mess, but that's about it. The Detour added more drama. Speaking of "drama," wasn't expecting bickering from Matt/Dana (well, just Dana).

LOVE: Tyler & Korey, Burnie & Ashley, Erin & Joslyn, Zach & Rachel, Jessica & Brittany, Scott & Blair, Darius & Cameron

I thought this is a well-edited episode. In fact, it is the best I have seen since season 20. Though some of the teams had to make me lower the volume almost 33%, most of this Leg was solid work. The Detour could have been a lot better, but editing made up for it. It reminded me of TAR13-style editing. Fortaleza anyone?

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a418/reillyqueens/tar28chartrff2.png)

I didn't like the editing. It was a compilation of teams doing parts of the task, but as a Casual Viewer™ I didnt know who was near to finishing, or who was close and whatnot. I just saw a bunch of teams finish in groups within 20 seconds. I must have blinked when Sheri finished because I got blindsided when Blair and her Daddy finished in 9th..

Anyways, I'm meh.

Sheri is still my favorite, but she spoke like one sentence so I was on my phone during most parts.

I love Scott and Blair. Scott is my 2nd fave racer and Blair is a lulzy wreck. Packs a hair salon but only packs thongs for water challenges. Also she was very helpful in keeping me updated in who left when, and who just arrived. Bless her. #Kisses4Pesos

Marty & Hagan were robbed. Now the season outlook is turning bleak in their absence. The editors were not nice.

Jessica & Brittany were glam. They were being such business entrepreneurs scouting out locations for their next photoshoot! Remarkable.

Yellow is ok. I suppose. Idk them. I liked Erin/Joslyn, and the Rachel girl. Brodie is better this week! But his friend kinda sucks.

Dancers are annoying. Please be next boot after the other people in dark red.

Brothers - season ruiners.. Whatever episode they get booted in i will jump for joy.

Tyler - why do they name drop him in every confessional? I didn't know that annoying thing who got 2nd last season was back as a tar editing device to feature in every ep. ovr it over it.

Overall - episode dominated by red. ppl in blue/green got 0 screentime. i dont have much to say about anybody because this ep bored me. save my soul. when does bbcan4 start? (:

I'm gonna stop watching The Amazing Race's Facebook page because fans on there are like... well, I'm not gonna say anything because... shame.

I'm so sad for Marty & Hagan. They fought a lot to stay on the race, and they were the most "normal" team because they are not internet celebrities like the others. I wouldn't mind to see them again on a returning players season.

After rewatching the episode…

 :funny: at Blair bringing fashion stuff to the race but not the essential stuff like swimwear. :groan:

The flight drama was somehow fun to watch. I haven't seen one on quite a long time. ??? If Marty & Hagan had gotten on the 2nd flight instead, I think they would've survived. Meanwhile, if Scott & Blair were on the 3rd flight, I think they could be out. Blair was lucky Rachel could lend her something. I'm pretty sure Darius or Cameron can't do the same. :funny:

The detour was cultural and fun to watch, especially with 11 teams! :luvya: :hearts: :hrt:

The roadblock shuffled some placements; also fun to watch. :cheer: :conf: :trampb:

The intense fight for last was also fun to watch. Darius & Cameron made so many mistakes this leg, but Marty & Hagan's one mistake was more costly. :( I really wish I could see them race further or see them back in another season; both of which are doubtedly possible. :(

I don't find any of the teams annoying… yet? :lol: All the teams seem really likable to me. Tyler & Korey proved themselves to be a threat. They seem stronger than I expected. Dana & Matt were more inconsistent this leg. It's obviously shown when Dana said she has a hot personality. :lol: I thought they'd be dominating the whole race like Justin & Diana or Misti & Jim, but it's actually a good thing they're not. Brittany & Jessica lost their lead again. It happened last leg when they were 1st to Phil but last to the detour. This time, they finished the detour in 5th, but got to the pit stop in 7th. If they lose their lead again next leg, I'd probably classify them as weak. ??? I really think Scott & Blair would've been eliminated had they not gotten on the 2nd flight. ??? With their mistakes at the detour, having to do a speedbump, and the mistake of not bringing a swimwear could've cost them the race. They were just lucky the last team was almost an hour behind them.

Brittany & Jessica and Sheri & Cole were 2 of the most invisible teams this leg, but their invisibility is not that serious. (Under the radar?) Anyway, that means every team got enough screentime to be recognized, and with 11 teams racing, that's just great! :luvya: :hearts: :conf: :cheer: :trampb: :hrt: :hoot: :yess: :wohoo: :bunny

Overall, this is the best episode of the season so far. :wohoo: There was enough culture shown, even though it gives some sort of Indonesian vibe on some parts. We have 11 teams racing the 2nd leg, on a country never visited by TAR before, with frequent shuffling of placements, and enough flight, task, and mistake drama.  This episode was so good it inspired me to continue working on my fanfic. :hrt:

After rewatching the episode…

 :funny: at Blair bringing fashion stuff to the race but not the essential stuff like swimwear. :groan:

The flight drama was somehow fun to watch. I haven't seen one on quite a long time. ??? If Marty & Hagan had gotten on the 2nd flight instead, I think they would've survived. Meanwhile, if Scott & Blair were on the 3rd flight, I think they could be out. Blair was lucky Rachel could lend her something. I'm pretty sure Darius or Cameron can't do the same. :funny:

The detour was cultural and fun to watch, especially with 11 teams! :luvya: :hearts: :hrt:

This season is SO GOOD!
I absolutely love every single team.
I'm gonna stop watching The Amazing Race's Facebook page because fans on there are like... well, I'm not gonna say anything because... shame.

I'm so sad for Marty & Hagan. They fought a lot to stay on the race, and they were the most "normal" team because they are not internet celebrities like the others. I wouldn't mind to see them again on a returning players season.

TAR 28 >>>>>>>> TAR 27.

I agree with everything you just said I'm so into this season I love it and Facebook fans - I just gave up on them they dont seem reasonable enough for me and if the ratings hold tonight I'll gladly post that info there  :funny:

Just rewatched.... And it was hell good....

The Rb was good but the star was the detour... Provided massive mess and drama and really worth to watch.... Also airport drama <333 and mistakes drama at the end of the leg :( ...

So far:
Leg 1: A-
Leg 2: A-

And my top 3 favorite teams this season:
1. Sheri and Cole (super fun and glam team...)
2. Zach and Rachel
3. Scott and Blair (Blair glamness is undeniable :lol: )

This Season is blowing me away.  I honestly never expected it to be half this good, especially after how poor last Season was.  ???

Where to even start? ..... Blair!! Lets start with Blair! :lol:  She's just amazing.  Loved the pre-intro scene of her and her Hairdryer.  It seemed more like an Insider Clip, so it was really nice to see put in the actual episode.  And then we got a FULL Intro!  :yess:

Loved the whole Airport drama.  It seemed like there was quite a bit of time dedicated to the it - I can't even remember the last time we got this much Airport screen time this early on?  ???

The Roadblock was good, though it could've been very linear.  Thank God for Dana not knowing her colours.  :funny:   And Blair not packing a swimsuit?  I watched the video she uploaded telling us what all she packed, and I distinctly remember her saying she packed a bathing suit incase there would be water challenges?  Unless she dumped it in favour of her Hairdryer when she was lightening her load so to speak.  :funny:
The Detour was better though.  It shuffled some placements, and I loled at Rachel asking Zach if they should be setting up beside a Truck with Music.  :lol:

Didn't care for the Speedbump however.  It seemed reeeeeaaaaally easy.  But I'm glad, because had it been any harder we may have seen Scott & Blair eliminated.  :iok

Finally, Bravo to the editing team for this Leg.  :<3  Based on the entire edit, I was certain Cam & Darius would be eliminated.  It was the most obvious form of Foreshadowing I've ever seen.  All the talk of how smart they are, and the comment "We've got this in the bag", all hinted towards their downfall, so when they survived my mind was blown.  The entire episode, I was so annoyed at the editors, thinking they made it extremely obvious who would be eliminated, but NO, I was sooooooo wrong. :wohoo:

I liked Marty & Hagan, and they had a really unlucky elimination, but I really like Cam & Darius.  I don't get why so many people dislike them?  They haven't done anything to warrant all the hate.  And what about their jump in airtime between this week and last week?  Glad too see it.  :hoot:

Overall another great Leg.  I only hope they can keep this pace up.  Looking forward to hopefully another great Leg next week.  I just hope it's not another S27 Leg 3, where there's no hope for the last place teams catching up.  :groan:  :gaah:

Team Ranking:
LOVE: Scott & Blair, Cameron & Darius
Like: Sheri & Cole, Marty & Hagan, Zach & Rachel, Burnie & Ashley
Neutral: Tyler & Korey, Erin & Joslyn, Brittany & Jessica, Matt & Dana
Dislike: Brodie & Kurt
HATE: ---

It's sad that one person didn't know that emeralds are green. She must not have had the big box of crayons when she was young.

Scott seems to be racing with Fred (Amy Acker) from "Angel."
There are multiple colors of emeralds.  Dana was only confused because she was the first person to find a gem.  No one knew if there were fake ones or not.

Yey Tyler is running for 2 teams! :cheer:
I must repeat that I also expected to see Tyler camwhoring and not be as likeable as he is.

flight drama on 2nd leg  :o

The last time was TAR 21 right?
Loved the episode for this especially!
But I have to say that overall I'm REALLY enjoying this season!! I can't remember the last time I was enjoying TAR this much!! :wohoo: Probably during the end-race of TAR26, but anyway, this cast is really diverse and proving to be more likeable than expected! Erin & Joslyn grew on me this episode and Brodie wasn't really annoying. :tup:
The placement shuffling was great and I was extremely happy with the editing this episode - I don't know how they managed to do it, since there was both a detour and a roadblock that were given a significant amounts of airtime, there was a lot of airport drama, there was also a speedbump and a great display of a fight for last place. LOTS of action, but everything was included and we really got to know the teams and their attitudes during all of this, too! :hoot: So this episode is definitely a lesson for the future and I hope it's a lesson that's been learned after the disastrous editing of TAR27.


EDIT: forgot to mention, probably the only things I hated this episode were to do with Phil. :groan: He didn't mention a lot of placements and OH GOSH HOW I HATE THOSE UNNECESSARY LIVE BROADCASTING STAND-UPS :groan:

This was just a random screen but two thing I noticed:

A. Sheri & Cole are fixing their bags in the middle (something probably happened which was withheld to us by editors)
B. YOU CAN SEE THE CAMERA CREW ON THE RIGHT

After TAR27, it's kinda funny to still see that the show isn't that afraid of showing production on screen anymore.

And another thing:

WTF happened to the Speed Bump sign? The ones on 23-26 were pretty good and this one looks like a Chinese knockoff :lol:

Well, if she had to wear a thong, it would have been blurred out, so she wouldn't have to worry about what the whole world would see. And also, I agree that it would be incredibly awkward for her dad/family member to see her in a thong.

There are multiple colors of emeralds. 

No, there are multiple colors of beryl. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald#Color (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald#Color): "Emeralds occur in hues ranging from yellow-green to blue-green, with the primary hue necessarily being green. Yellow and blue are the normal secondary hues found in emeralds. Only gems that are medium to dark in tone are considered emerald; light-toned gems are known instead by the species name green beryl." Pink beryl is called morganite. I make jewelry as a hobby.

According to Secret Scenes, Brodie & Kurt went to the Detour first before getting the clue :o

I guess editors left it out to make it look like they were closer to Tyler/Korey and Burnie/Ashley, but still surprising, they could have easily won the leg!
