4th season to have KOR/NEL on the first leg :bump:
I'm fine with the position announcement being cut since we know that this would be KOR legIt's fine by me. Just a bit disappointed we don't see other teams reacting to the news of a "However".
I love Hung & Chee and Michelle & Victoria- iconic moments already :funny: Poor Hung with the hard fall thoughCBS better have screen-recorded Hung's fall and upload it to YouTube tomorrow. :funny:

Phil said the last team to arrive would be eliminated though.
I was super confused when Nathan and Cody were eliminated. Thought for sure it would be a keep on racing for everyone, not just teams 1-10. Weird. Anyway, I wouldn't say well worth the wait considering the fact that we had to wait TWO DANG YEARS for this to air after filming, but I'm glad the show is back.I guess this shall be called a Pit Nonstop. :tup:

Lmao exactly. Like, Nathan and Cody rightfully finished last, but part of me feels like they were robbed just bc they were the only ones that didn't get the KOR

Really interested to see how the new Yield works. “Everyone gets to Yield”...what does that even mean?!Probably a voting Yield like HaMerotz
Really interested to see how the new Yield works. “Everyone gets to Yield”...what does that even mean?!I'm guessing it could be something like multiple teams can get Yielded on the same Leg depending on whether a team chooses to do so. ???
The first ten-fifteen minutes certainly felt rushed. Not sure if we ever got a full intro for Hung & Chee? No airport scenes, either. The Roadblock benefitted from being as fleshed out as it was and I'm glad, based on the episode, that goat racing wasn't a standalone task. I'm very glad TAR is back, but perhaps the premiere should've been 90 minutes.

That, or nothing really standoutish happens. Usually, the only times we've seen airport scenes in the new age of TAR is when teams were at risk of missing or making a flight (Nicole & Victor) or some ticket counter drama occurring (Nicky & Kim vs. Tim & Marie).The first ten-fifteen minutes certainly felt rushed.

Per the airport scenes, I feel like those have been few and far between in recent seasons in general. Back in the earlier seasons when teams had to search for their own flights, buy their own tickets, etc., there was more to show. Now that, if I remember correctly, everything is already reserved for them for the most part, it kinda takes that out. I could be drawing a blank (I probably am because I feel like there was an episode or two last season) but the last time I remember teams having to find their own flights and buy their own tickets (or at least that being shown) was final 4 of TAR 30 and I think that was the only time that season. That was also what felt like the one time we randomly learned about the dynamics between the teams too so it was pretty weird. Anyway, it's just the new age of TAR editing, I guess.
Don't know if it just a coincidence, but that RB is my RB of the leg in Trinidad & Tobago in one of my games. :cheer:

I remember putting a firefighting task under the wishlist way before TAR27 even happened. Sometimes I think the task producers go here just to steal some ideas. :lol:Don't know if it just a coincidence, but that RB is my RB of the leg in Trinidad & Tobago in one of my games. :cheer:
Welll. ...CBS does read here! :funny:
It occurred to me that the Yield might have elements of the old and lamented Fast Forward. Each team will get once chance to Yield another team during the Race. This Yield would remain available as long as there’s a team remaining that hasn’t used it. How long a team will be yielded I have no idea, but this will bring back an element that has been missing since the FF disappeared from aTAR.TAR5 had a Yield on every leg and I liked that so it would be cool to see that back!
It was a good opening leg. They were very careful not to use the words “pit stop” so it was clear that there wasn’t going to be one, and be a KOR leg.
I enjoyed the episode for sure! But I also agree with some other people here that it also felt very rushed from an editing standpoint at times. Will have to re-watch it to notice anything I missed the first time around.
I think having it be 90-minutes or even 2-hours long (like originally planned) would have immensely improved the editing on this premiere. But I guess CBS showing a rerun of S.W.A.T. immediately after was more important to them?

"This season, TAR hits ONE. MILLION. MILES." :martini:
Along the way, more than 300 teams have experienced:
The extreme! "This is amazing!" -Tiffany from season 27
The exotic! Tyler's shock face from season 28
And the unforgettable! Right in the kisser, show that knight who's boss!
Relationships have been pushed to their limits. My favorite Rachel racer's most incredible quote :funny:
Some dreams came true. Congrats Lucas & Brittany and Kisha & Jen again!
While others were shattered. Luke :2hearts: and my least favorite Rachel during that open ballot U-Turn

I am not sure however I am pretty sure that in S18 they stopped the Double Length leg and replaced it with the No-Rest leg. (Double Length leg), "You are the x team to arrive... however this leg isn't over, here is your next clue." (No-Rest leg), "You are team number x (cuts too what prize they won, if there was a prize) however the next leg of the race starts right now... your still racing, here is your next clue."

Also excited to see the return of the Yield, but I'm not too thrilled that each team has one chance to Yield another team? Didn't know we were going back to TAR5! :lol: :funny:I wonder if any team will give Dustin & Kandice a run for their title of Yield royalty? :funny:
