Guys, did you realize that the eps are way shorter this time? Now I afraid the number of episodes will double because of this. Their current Survivor version, which I thought was 'too much' of an ep with 61 atm, I also thought the same to it.
But I can't wait to the continuation of this great start! Do you guys need help on the tasks from what I can understand?
-
I think the episode ended. No pitstop yet. It's nice to get some Amazing Race even though I had no clue what teams were saying :funny:
If you haven't used to HMLM yet, they usually tend to have more than one eps for a leg. Maybe to showcase even more details, which differs from the rest of the versions we knew.

But my feelings said it might be longer this time because of the duration but idk. My understanding is limited as well but I'm watching because of still learning Hebrew so~

The tasks from what I can understand (excuse this flashback this is how I'm trying to understand things):
- A bit flashback to HMLM 5 with the tiramisu, no not tiramisu like in that Italian leg now. This time, one member of the team has to go up there while the other has to pull?! The goal is for the one up there to unscramble those letters given to the one below. In one of the local languages' alphabet but I forgot what it was.
- Then, the teams have to go to the Pasai Market (I forgot the name?) and have to gather those type of fishes (local fishes?) listed in their clues, and give them to the chef in exchange for the next clue.
Some facts I've noticed from this leg:
- Excluding the continental version like Asia and Latin America, HMLM 8 is the second season to me that started NOT from their original country. Australia 4, as far as I remember, started in South Korea–so this is the second.
- As you guys said above, in the middle of the first task Gili & Tali stopped by and bought ice cream 🤣
- Anne has phobia of cockroaches? I can feel her~
Idk why the Double Battle in the next leg's ads reminded me to Wipeout than a Survivor immunity challenge?

I see~ HMLM 7 was my first complete Israeli season though, then followed by HMLM 5 (31/36, thanks my first years of college). I watched half of their Survivor season (Tiltil's season, which was Honduras), before I don't think I could keep up with their latest one. I'm interested on how long I could keep up with HMLM 8 though~ ready to jet lag even further

Don't forget that there'll also be an episode today, after the news on Reshet 13. It's most probably 1.30am here in Indo the next day, which means it's on 9.30pm IDT. Get ready, guys--something that I hope is interesting is coming...

SEASON 4 FLASHBACK REALNESS: Vova & Alla Yielded?? I- not only oofed but trying to comprehend~
Meanwhile this is how I understood everything:
- In the Double Battle, it looked like jumping rope but no it's on the water: the pair will switch places between those who "swing" and jump. The one who jumped the most times will be given their next clue.
- The next Route Info looked like kind of 'charades' in the water, when one member has to mime or give a clue of what kind of fish to the one member who dived down and take a selfie when they found that fish. Once they're done, they'll be given the next clue.
In between there was the Yield voting and reveal. And I could notice:
- Sadly, I understood Lian had that trauma where the Double Battle triggered it? I didn't understand the whole details by far but 😭 so sad.
- Michal & Ruti had to walk over the Double Battle because Michal's slightly ill, from what I could understand, giving Ori & Ben the win.
- BAHAHAH GILI & TALI~ wait they were sleeping before they continue the leg or did I miss something? Somehow- 😂 chillest 2020 by far went to them imo
- The flashback realness, how- (Vova & Alla Yielded again?? Omg I personally hope they can survive...)
-
A bit confused but the leg started out at night but it ended with teams running in the daylight. Was their a break in filming or were teams running non stop?
Was thinking the same.

I could notice the times where the teams arrived at Manila Ocean Park though. Some of them arrived at dark and went out in sunlight (e.g. Shay & Shani, Yael & Yosiel). I couldn't imagine this leg ran non-stop, hmm... back to that long first leg again (then my mind told me 'well this is like FvF so, toughness went higher' excuse this mind but the leg-)
-
A bit confused but the leg started out at night but it ended with teams running in the daylight. Was their a break in filming or were teams running non stop?
Legs sometimes last two days with an overnight break.
Looks like teams arrived at Ocean Park at night, spent the night at the oceanarium's hotel, and performed the task in the morning.

Finally got into it and caught up. Half All-Stars is a nice breath of fresh air, and this might be the first time ever that I like every single returning team in an All-Stars Race.
So, we seriously got a Tali & Gili on this Race, who are completely different and unrelated from Tali & Gili who were just on LAST SEASON. How in the world did that manage to happen? That's going to make Wiki work fun...
Did Vova & Alla walk away without casting a vote at the Yield? I swear it didn't show them picking anybody...

OMG am I the only one who felt that S5 Cambodia flashback or just those several flashbacks that the Yield ended up with footrace with the last place?? Omg.
But otherwise, from what I can understand:
- Feel what's it. Kinda like Bean Boozled or like the seventh season pre-finish line with toothpaste but this time they had to feel it with their legs. When they got the sequence of those things correctly, they'd get the next clue.
- TELEPHONE! It's everywhere. There are loads of one-liner lyrics out there (every phone rang rip), like Miri Mesika's Hozer Bachazara or like Avi Peretz's Kashe Li, but they had to figure out that those four lines are from Eden Ben Zaken's Malkat Hashoshanim and from there, they'd be handed their next clue. This needs competency, because you had to find the right lyrics for the right song and yes for that moment too. [PS: I learn from songs and this really helped me hunting songs lol ngl]
Some fun facts:
- Yael had to bargain to pay the taxi and even they tried to ask Lian & Eviatar to lend their money?! But they pulled through so yes~
- I could feel Vova & Alla somehow. I remember Alla said "they didn't know any Israeli song" [the struggle is real], hence the "alliance" between them and Ben & Ori. Oh whew. There the Yield went, and thank goodness they survived.
Oh well next leg would still be in the Philippines and yes I can't wait for that sequence! That one part in promo feels like, if in Indo, "bakiak" 😄 (like they wore sandals but nope it's big and it could be filled by two of them or more ah this homeland nostalgia hits me)

Don't forget the first part of the second leg is today, guys!
-
I'm putting this in the mark so it won't ruin those of you guys who haven't watched yet. Well, my inferences are getting wild once again so-...-since it might contain spoilers so I spoiler-tagged it.
Show content
This leg's summary to what I can tell:
- Teams go to that one center in Bohol (I forgot the name) to climb that one "coconut tree" and they have to get like 6 coconuts. Each member, kind of, will get 3 minutes to pick the coconuts. When the three minutes is over, they have to switch members to get the rest even if they haven't finished yet. When they complete this, they'll get the next clue.
- But before that: VOTING U-TURN!!! That means we're going to see a Detour. Oh well. (get ready for this random wild inferences)
- DETOUR: In the first option, they have to carry something to the other side of the road (like kind of outbounds with one rope) and once they got to the other side, they'll get the next clue. On the other option, they have to walk together on that big sandal (here in Indonesia we say "bakiak") with one of the members blindfolded, they have to pick that one stone and bring it to exchange it with the next clue. I don't remember the names of both options, but that's how both works.
Some fun facts, which some of them brought my wild inference back:
- Potential alliance in Shay & Shani with Ash & Alis and Asaf & Netanel with Shiri & Noga? Or is this my limited understanding that leads to wild inferences?? Then when I see the vote on the former -- BLINDSIDE ALERT!!
- Vova & Alla so far got 3 votes, and the rest got one (Netanel & Asaf, Ben & Ori, wait I forgot the other one people voted)
- This first part hasn't finished yet, but to be continued tomorrow. Same timeframe, after the news.
That's all the summary and the wild inferences I understood during this time's airings, see you tomorrow for this coverage!
-
Ah, forgot part 1 was today!

They've still got it out for Vova & Alla, eh? This is a team who survived multiple Yields and U-Turns in their first season.

Bohol! Nice! I remember this little island from a remarkably unremarkable leg on TAR Philippines 2, so I'm excited to see more of it.
Did anybody catch whether or not each team member has to grab at least one coconut? I don't believe Ron said anything about it, but Yael and Alla's sulking seems to indicate they need to get at least one.
-
Part 2 tonight don't forget! I wonder how hot this leg is going to be...
-
Oh, here we go again.
Show content
This is basically what this episode contains:
- DETOUR! Yep the continuation of the Detour. [Now idk why I feel both options tested the teams' "togetherness" looking at the ways teams complete both tasks]
- U-Turn reveal >> do things start getting hotter?
- Oh welp. The continuation of this leg will be tomorrow (for those who watch, notice "also tomorrow" (גם מחר) on the top of the TV). All right then.
Some fun facts for this time, and perhaps I shall say the reasons why things are getting hotter:
- I'm trying to comprehend why people targeting Vova & Alla again as if... oh welp. They're U-Turned with four votes... "Welcome back to the fourth season" (yas Vova this realness)
- "Making alliances, are we on Survivor?" (omg if we got quotes for an ep title this deserved it). This is what I got from Alis while talking Shay & Shani voting them for the U-Turn, but wait aren't alliances are what I occasionally see in the US version, and what I wildly infer from several U-Turn/Yield voting in the past HMLMs? Hmm. Guess I'll be thinking hard or verify this further (yep I need verification, this limited understanding sometimes haunted me).
- Yass @ Yael & Yosiel caught up so fast from that Route Info to Detour~ I'm so glad :D I'm not gonna lie
- The task with the ice cube gave me a flashback to idk what previous version and season was it (a past HMLM or a US version I forgot, between those). Oh, well then, if that leads to looking for that one single mark... that sounds tricky but we still need to pay attention to details nevertheless.
-
Oh, here we go again.

The episode was titled "Vova & Alla Against Everyone". That's funny and depressing at the same time. Wondering why they have to be the eternal targets for a second season when there are also winners.
The music choices when Vova saved Alla. :funny:
-
They must be targeted NOW because they keep overcoming them, which shows their strength. But idk, I also feel like that would show how useless it is to punish them because they WILL overcome it.
Taterz.

The third part of the second leg today, guys! It seems like things are getting hotter over there race-wise, hmm can't wait to see how it goes...
-
Show content
So this is what happens this part:
- Route Info in that Santisima Trinidad Ice Plant: they have to "break the ice" using the smallest to the largest utility out there (from fork, nails, to hammer??) to find that spoon something (I don't get what exactly it was) before exchanging it with the next clue. To my knowledge, this requires paying attention to details too because if we break the ice everywhere without seeing where the spoon really is, we wouldn't get it.
- Route Info (wait I didn't really catch where?): Wait this task personally reminds me to this tradition in one part of Indonesia (welp this similarity to my homeland I- wow) >> MOVING THE (SMALL) HOUSE!!! Not literally a house, though, it looked like a shack. They have to convince locals to follow them to "move the house" and place that garment (or flag?? idk) somewhere along with checking more things on that shack. If yes, they'll be given the next clue.
OMG NEXT MONDAY THE FOURTH PART OF THIS LEG?? WHOA. Things spiced up over here.
And I saw there are teams that had difficulties finding masses? (They had to find 12 people as far as I remember, and for that night I admit it wasn't that easy).
But before closing my message, I have a question: shall I write tasks like this on spoiler mark, or leave it as it is and shall there be any spoilers, I'll spoiler tag them? What do you guys think?

Similarities between this season and the last one: Both had a team of female twins eliminated in the second leg, and both eleventh place teams were eliminated not due to a luck task but due to a cab driver getting lost. Probably wasn't the best idea for Shiri & Noga to jokingly introduce themselves as Noy & Hadar.
Can't imagine what Anne & Yarden were feeling considering they thought they lost a footrace to stay in.
Next episode has ditch vaulting in Ransdorp. Between this task and the Kafka challenge, this season really loves TAR's Switchbacks. :funny:

I have been saying for years, ever since the second season, that the Israeli version is the best version of The Amazing Race by far. But, if I'm being real here...Every time there is an unfair luck task before a Pit Stop, my opinion of the version lowers just a little bit. Eventually, it's going to knock the Israeli version out of the #1 spot. It hasn't happened quite yet, but it's getting there. Very, very disappointing.

All right now I can imagine how zigzagged the route is before the finish line.
Speaking of the pre-Pit Stop task, guess what I caught is right: Show content
like "there's no such thing as this, or rare, back in season 4" (this is how I understood one of Shani's lines?)
but btw I'm still in shock and awe when one of the teams I consider arrived later than the other teams, but they found it in all of a sudden. I'm amazed: is this the power of... luck or competence. But the places shook up a little bit so- (well I'll wait if the next leg's pre-Pit Stop needs extra competence. Bring back the riddles, this requires extra competence for example - Italian leg in HMLM 5 reference on Roman numerals)

The previous leg had a flirtation between Shiri & Noga and Neta & Assaf. Now this episode had a new ship between Alla & Neta. :2hearts:
There's been a boiling tension between Shay & Shani and Yael & Yosiel the past few episodes, yet nether want to take a shot at the other. We'll see if this erupts later on.

At times Reshet's scheduling really annoys me. All throughout last episode they stated that the next episode is on Monday. Now they announce today that it's airing tonight.

Where are they going next after the Yield board? "Iran Hwaba"? Google Translate is not helping...
It's funny that Shay & Shani and Vova & Alla, this is the second time they're doing a Christmas task in Europe. I still remember Vova dressing up as Santa and going "Ho, ho, ho! Happy Birthday! Oh no, wait..."
Would have been interesting if the Saudi Arabian had agreed to do the task with Y&Y o.O

Well gee I can't imagine why there are a ton of clogs in the preview...could it POSSIBLY that thing they do at the end of every HaMerotz leg that I'm really getting tired of.
Honestly why do they split legs up into three episodes that are 45 minutes to an hour long when none of it matters because it comes down to random BS at the very end? Might as well just start the leg, have a luck task, go to the pit stop, and you would have missed nothing.

Welcome to my living hell.

Also I noticed on the wiki that the title of episode 4, "התרגיל של שני", was translated to "Monday's Exercise." Are we sure that's correct? Because "שני", the word for Monday, is spelled the exact same way as Shani's name, so there's a change it's referring to her.
-
What would specifically be referring to Shani in that episode? Because that episode also aired on Monday, if I remember correctly

Probably the deal she made with Ash & Alis? That's what would make the most sense to me.

Boy, I get this question a lot. I personally feel you don't need to speak the language to watch any version of The Amazing Race. As long as you understand what the tasks are (usually through Wikipedia), it's still an enjoyable time even if you don't know what anybody is saying. The essence of travel, beautiful destinations, and exciting tasks are still there. Not to mention they usually speak a lot of English when out and abroad, trying to communicate with foreigners.
Furthermore, all Israeli TV is subtitled with Hebrew text. With the help of an online Hebrew keyboard (https://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/hebrew.htm) and Google Translate, I can stop and translate anything I really want to know the meaning of.

Also let me get this straight: when the only TAR that's majority Jewish goes to Amsterdam, they don't do anything involving Anne Frank, one of if not THE most famous Holocaust victim (someone pointed out a mural of her but that doesn't count) but they have an entire task devoted to a holiday that Jews don't celebrate...wow that's not a good look.

My random hunch is that maybe they'd like to introduce them to another culture (per the Race intentions mostly), which also makes sense? Interesting point of view though.

Season 2 visited the former home of a Holocaust survivor. Don't know though if a task related to Anne Frank would be viewed as insensitive in Israel.
Fun fact: the Pit Stop was at the former location of the I am Amsterdam sign, which was removed 3 days before the leg was filmed due to overcrowding.

well as an israeli jew i would find it a bit offensive if there was a task where Anna Frank memory was involved. in Israel we deal with the memory of the holocaust all the time. we don't need to see it in a humorist show.

On the last leg in Amsterdam: omg Vova & Alla whyy~ they're lost on their way to Pit Stop but that task- hopefully the pre-Pit Stop this time doesn't go that way but idk. But things are getting hotter omg, any wild inference I should explain on
This latest ep (ep11, the first part of this Armenian leg) made me think that there's something between Omer & Netta and Ash & Alis, but I still have to understand why and on how. Meanwhile, I started to remember (after watching the Amsterdam leg's pit stop) this sad fact back on season 5, that time when Yael & Yosiel was first on the Vietnam leg, they were last on the Cambodian leg. Hopefully not this time around~ then on the start of this leg I thought there's sth between them and Shay & Shani (another deal? idk?) but Yael & Yosiel ended up yielded. No one can stop them hopefully I believe.
MEANWHILE... Eviatar, why again why-

The task was to recreate a family photo of the Kardashians. Teams were given a 'shopping' list of items needed to recreate the photo. Stuff such as lamps, a carpet, stuffed animals...but also on the list were the five people who would take the place of the Kardashians in the picture. All of these items, including the live human beings, needed to be borrowed from locals who live in the nearby apartment skyrises. One of the people needed was a female over the age of 60. Shay & Shani found a lovely old woman and brought her down to the holding area, but they still needed more items so they gave her a blanket and asked her to wait for them. When they came back, they found the old lady helping Ash & Alice instead. Unless I misunderstood, Ash & Alice basically poached their old lady by asking her to come help them.

Shalom! This day was very fun to do. I was booked via a casting agency. Originally, the filming was planned in the Museum van Loon (the museum werd contestants had to study) but as it is a small museum and other visitors were in the museum, we moved to The Grand Hotel. There were two separate rooms for the TAR filming, one for the contestants to prepare their guests with all the answers and the other one for me to question them. They litterally picked passers-by in the streets. One of these guys they took out of a coffeeshop. He had a bit of trouble answering the questions as his mind was off but in the end he did okay. All the TAR couples were a joy to meet! Very enthousiastic and funny. Between taping I talked a lot with the cameraman. He told me about his life in the peaceful country side where he lives and the always present state of awereness people live in. I have never been in Israel and we see reports of your country in the news, but hearing the stories of the cameraman it came very close. This day had been the best experience in casting so far Thank you all for helping me out with the episodes! Enjoy the rest of the season! Greetings from Amsterdam, Dave

Bull****.
Liane has hurt her hand or her wrist or whatever, and the doctor says she can't compete in the Head-to-Head. The challenge is to balance on a rolling log as if it were a horse, two team members fight, then the other two team members fight, followed by a tiebreaker. Since Liane can't do it, Eviatar has to do it alone, giving the team an unfair advantage as Liane probably doesn't have good balance and would have lost.
Let me take you back to season 4. Alexa badly hurt her leg on that season, and then she and Raz came to a task where they had to roll on a log in the water. Alexa obviously cannot do this task, so Raz has to do it alone. But they had to serve a 1-hour penalty before he could.
Also in season 4, let me take you back to the likes of Roni & Yael and Gal & Liel. Both teams had one member hurt themselves during a Head-to-Head and could no longer compete in it. In both of those cases, the teams forfeit the Head-to-Head and had to wait until all other teams passed them and then serve the 15-minute penalty.
Eviatar & Liane should have forfeit their Head-to-Head and ended up in last place. Bull****.

I've watched the broadcast live for several periods of this one and I afraid the duration of the episodes were cut off. Like instead of 1 min 30 secs one (in syndication I mean without the ads), sometimes they cut it into like 1-hour episode (including the ads) that resulted into the ep having 30-ish minutes duration.
I afraid when this happened in the latest Survivor edition there, it resulted into 60-ish episodes as I saw over there (instead of 30-ish usually) and I oofed. Idk if we're going to have 40-ish eps again since HMLM tend to have average of 20-40ish eps with the 2-3 hours airtime, but with the airtime being cut that much I really, really worry on this tbh. And it's just my hypothesis.
Anyone have any info on the broadcast duration as well, as in why they're cut this much? It's unusual to me too tbh.

Looks like there was a mistake made somewhere. The task at the school was to spell out the name of the man who invented the Armenian alphabet in 405AD, according to Shahar's explanation, and the man in question is Mesrop Mashtots.
However, the name they actually had to spell out was Komitas, an unrelated priest and musician from the late 1800's...

Had Shay & Shani been eliminated that would have been harsh with Lian & Eviatar checking in right before them.
The fact that they started the next leg at the tail end caught me off guard.

So GB, what do you think about Assaf & Netanel? Hope you like them, because two straight legs without your least favorite aspect of HaMerotz has led to two straight leg wins by the most boring team left.

With the exception of a couple of tasks, I still admire this season's task creativity. Chile has been the site of many earthquakes, so let's have teams stack blocks on an earthquake table.

I don't understand the first task of the Chile leg. From what I understand they listen to a lecture that describes the four famous poets of Chile, and then they transport 50 books. They also get a passage written in Spanish that translates into the lyrics of "Salaam", a Hebrew/Arabic song. But from there, I'm lost. What does this song have to do with the books or the poets?

From what I could gather, each book had different lyrics which corresponded to the styles and writing of one of the poets which they had to match at the library? I think?

Something doesn't feel right about that explanation though, because some teams like Tali & Glil filled up their board with only two kinds of books. I believe they only had red and purple, or something like that. Wouldn't that make the task twice as easy for them if they did that?

Oh my god. Even though a team I like got first place and a team I don't like got eliminated, this was the worst episode of this season. This might even be the worst episode of the Israel race ever.

A disgusting unfair re-used luck task.
It's time to END mass-eating tasks on The Amazing Race. They are just awful. If you get full, then you're just full. There's no other way to go about it, you're full. There's no skill involved. There's no show of strength or ability. A person just gets full and that's that, and overstuffing a person's stomach with more food doesn't prove anything and is not safe. The only thing you can do is vomit, and that's not exactly good for one's body either. When you vomit, your stomach is telling you there's something WRONG and this food needs to get out of you right away before something bad happens.
It's not fair, it's not healthy, and it's not fun to watch. It's ****ing disgusting. End this.

Oh my god. Even though a team I like got first place and a team I don't like got eliminated, this was the worst episode of this season. This might even be the worst episode of the Israel race ever.
A luck task.
A re-used luck task.
An unfair re-used luck task.
A disgusting unfair re-used luck task.
It's time to END mass-eating tasks on The Amazing Race. They are just awful. If you get full, then you're just full. There's no other way to go about it, you're full. There's no skill involved. There's no show of strength or ability. A person just gets full and that's that, and overstuffing a person's stomach with more food doesn't prove anything and is not safe. The only thing you can do is vomit, and that's not exactly good for one's body either. When you vomit, your stomach is telling you there's something WRONG and this food needs to get out of you right away before something bad happens.
It's not fair, it's not healthy, and it's not fun to watch. It's ****ing disgusting. End this.
I'm wondering if quitting was an option, because it almost never happens on HaMerotz.

Apparently Nescafe is a sponsor this season, wondered when we'd get a little product placement.

Let's recap. This season had a car crash, Shani twist her knee, and now Neta ejected from a kart.
Seriously don't know why the show thought having teams speed down a cobblestone street in karts that easily swerve would be safe. I'm surprised more people weren't hurt. At least with the previous two, those were freak accidents.
-
Show content
Yeah, this is bad, terrible judgement on the part of task designers. HaMerotz tasks can be crazy, but they still have to be safe for the racers.

Omer and Neta are done after that injury
I think the rest of the season will play out like this:
Final 3: Yael/Yosef, Neta/Assaf and Ben/Ori or Shay/Shani
4th: Ben/Ori or Shay/Shani
5th: Ash/Alis
6th: Omer/Neta :'(
-
You guys do realize that this isn't the first time we've had a wooden cart racing down a cobblestone street, right? This is a re-used task from TAR13's visit to Bolivia.
Anyway, I've realized something now that Shay & Shani took on that task in a unique way... The producers of HMLM seem to be doing everything they can to avoid giving out any more time penalties. There hasn't been one since Season 4, and no-one has even considered quitting a task entirely aside from being injured, plus the alternatives teams have been given in this season. So, Israeli audiences must not be very keen on time penalties and they're trying to phase them out.
...Which makes it all the more baffling that almost every leg has a YIELD now...
I liked this episode, though. Very creative and fun to watch.

Relieved to see that Neta wasn't seriously injured. Guess they're thankful the QR task was so hard that they could catch up.
Ben & Ori tried to break the QR task by getting every location, but the school was both the furthest away and hardest to find.
Brutal that Ash & Alis saw the one team behind them check in while at the Yield.

On that note, did they ever say where the pit stop was? Since there was no specific clue directing them to it, they just boarded the bus at the Fundacion Ninos place and never said where they were going.
-
It's Plaza San Francisco. I recognized that one just by sight.
They also didn't board the bus at the Ninos Foundation. They rip open their clue for the bus at an entirely different location. It's possible something at the Foundation went unaired.

Well, Ben & Ori have officially improved their finished from their first season. They got 6th in season 5.

I was just reading the comments on the Facebook page today and a lot of them seem to be suggesting things are being production rigged to keep Shay & Shani in. Haven't really noticed.

I feel like you complained about this too soon, because the stuff they had to drink this past episode was FAR more disgusting. At least churros are good enough for you to watch teams eat, but that gel...jeez it was very hard to watch.

Food that is just disgusting is an actual challenge than can be overcome. It's a mind game, and a person just has to overcome their squeamishness, ignore the taste, etc. It's gross to them, and sure maybe to the viewer, but it's still an actual challenge.
But if you're full, then YOU'RE FULL. Your body literally cannot take any more food, and trying to do so is unhealthy and unsafe.

Well yes, but someone did research and apparently too much aloe vera is bad for your health, so...

Guys, I think there was an unaired task that was cut out, and I'm pretty sure I know what it was.
They cut out the task where they hop on a plane and fly to British Columbia, where the totem pole task actually makes sense to take place.

What do we think of the final task? Is it good that it's not luck-based, or is it unfair for people who are colorblind, like Yosiel? I think it's fair, sometimes that happens on the race where a task is harder than it should be for someone through no fault of their own.
-
I get so many people who go "That's unfair!!" when I tell them about situations like this. At least three people cried foul when I told them about Elias being dyslexic in TAR Canada 3 and ending up with a newscasting Roadblock.
The bottom line is this: If you have a handicap of some sort, like being dyslexic or being colourblind, then you go into this Race knowing full well that you have this handicap, and accept the fact that some task might stonewall you completely because of this, and you accept it before the Race even begins. If the Race catered to every single weakness and handicap, it would be a very dull, boring Race.

And thus ends the chance at a repeat win for Shay & Shani :'( No returning TAR team has ever pulled it off twice. That'll quiet the comments on the Facebook page saying it was fixed for them to win.
Ben & Ori sure got lucky, though. Your taxi driver being pulled over by a cop would be like a team's worst nightmare when they're racing for last place.

Geez, Omer. Turn down the volume, other people in the room need to do the task, too :lol:
Now we know how old Neta & Assaf are, it was missing from Wikipedia for some reason. He said to her in English, "How old are you? 23, same as us!"

Just the traditional recap episode today. Though normally they'd air these around the middle of the season before.

At first I wasn't too excited about half the season spent in Latin America, but this season has honestly been blowing TAR32 out of the water. Even when I can't understand a word of their language.

The finish line segment is normally filmed in Israel about a week after the premiere to prevent leaks but that was during the second lockdown. The finale could be like 4 & 5 where teams found an empty mat and found out the results in Israel maybe this weekend.

I hope so, lol. If they're airing the season, they have to reveal who won somehow. It's like reading a book and the last page is missing.

Yael & Yosiel, my winner pick! :D
That was a hell of a finale, though the 2 year timeskip in the last 5 minutes made it hilarious to see the final 3 suddenly in masks, due to this version's way of taping the finish after the fact.
I do feel bad for the boys. The helmet cam was on his face when he passed out on the tightrope, that would be a sucky way to lose the race.
Omer and Neta were never my favourite, but the fact she had to wouldn't run to the finish and stopped to cry once she saw another there comes off as a bit of bad sportsmanship. They probably had their reasons that I can't understand in Hebrew.

For all of the talk about 32's winners having to wait two years for their check. Yael & Yosiel had to wait two years to finish the race and then find out they won.
Can't recall another instance of a team paying people to order an Uber.
That tightrope task was brutal considering the person on top lags behind meaning that the person on the bottom was pulling their weight.
When Neta's eyes rolled back and he went limp. 😮
