23 MINUTES UNTIL THE 4TH LEG BEGINS!

In TAR-related news, I am incredibly confused what's going on at CBS primetime tonight. Word through the grapevine says a special will cut out the fifth episode supposedly starting at 8PM and move it to next week.

Just in good faith and measure, here is a quick link for the 5th episode's thread in case it does air tonight:

Meanwhile, enjoy the pre-game tailgate! Have a light snack, and don't forget to drink water (or a boot of beer).

CBS has tweaked their primetime line-up (as have other networks) to accommodate special election coverage at 10pm ET.

Deadline is reporting TAR will only air ONE episode tonight at 8pm with a SWAT repeat airing at 9pm. But the CBS website and press website still shows both TAR episodes will air. Deadline might be incorrect.

From Deadline:
Quote
CBS will air its regularly scheduled episode of The Amazing Race from 8-9 PM, followed by a S.W.A.T. repeat from 9-10 PM and then a live special, CBS News 2020: America Decides – Still Counting, at 10-11 PM ET. The special will air from 7-8 PM on the West Coast. Another S.W.A.T. repeat will air from 10-11 PM in the West.

Also, breaking news could affect the schedule further. So be on the lookout and stay tuned! NOT YET CONFIRMED!

AND WE'RE ON THE AIR!

Previously on TAR, nine teams traveled from Bogota, Colombia to the Amazonian city of Manaus, Brazil! Will & James officially forged an alliance and set their sight sets on Leo & Alana. The alliance proved valuable while a major mistake sunk Jerry & Frank early. In a tribal village, Will & James angered Alana with a U-Turn while Kaylynn & Haley returned a favor to help their friends. Will & James arrived 1st while Jerry & Frank were eliminated. 8 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next.

We come to teams spending the night together on the boat. Alana goes into "supervilana" mode.

Will & James depart at 11:11 PM 1st. Travel to Asuncion, Paraguay and find your next clue at the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura!

Will & James and Hung & Chee arrive at the airport and work together to find the quickest flight to Asuncion. Kaylynn & Haley depart in 3rd and talk about moving out of their childhood homes early. Volleyballers depart 4th and talk about the parallels between their professional life to the race. DeAngelo & Gary arrive as Eswar & Aparna read their clue.

Aparna believes Paraguay is in Africa. :funny:

Leo & Alana realize everyone will be on the same flight.

I have no clue why they are going through all this trouble just for an alliance. I'm surprised the "outsider" teams haven't caught on to this especially when they were all together on the boat during the rest period.

Michelle & Victoria *

I'm really starting to dislike Will & James (esp. the later) with THIS much alliance stuff going on.
I don't mind teams working together from time to time, after all it does make sense to help each other when you're ahead to maintain that lead.
But I would also prefer to see each team run their own individual race.

We return to teams arriving in Asuncion and they break free from the floodgates of the airport to score taxis. They react like seagulls. :funny:

All teams in a mad rush to the orchestra and it's like classic TAR again! Michelle & Vic's taxi driver doesn't know where it is and they have to switch. Will & James' driver doesn't know either. They get out as Michelle & Vic enter another taxi. Leo & Alana are happy they are struggling as they pass them.

Eswar & Aparna are reminded of India with the rural qualities of Asuncion.

Riley & Madisson and Eswar & Aparna arrive at a weirdly shaped clue box. ROADBLOCK: Who is feeling instrumental? One team member has to repurpose items from a landfill to construct a working cello. Eswar and Riley work on the RB.

Leo & Alana arrive at the RB in 3rd, zooming back to the top. Leo reveals he has a musically-inclined family and does the RB.

DeAngelo & Gary and Hung & Chee arrive 4th and 5th.

Eswar believes his software engineering skills will work for fabricating a cello? ???

Will & James arrive 6th.

Teams huddle around the example cello and are explaining the RB.

Kaylynn & Haley's taxi is completely lost and their driver reveals the road ahead is closed and they must go the wrong way. Michelle & Victoria are in the same boat. Pit Stop foot race music plays as they comment on the driver leaving the taxi unattended to ask a nearby resident with a cheerful dog directions to the orchestra (or a friend).

Commercial break.

Dang, Paraguay looks extremely rural and third worldly. I know they had entourage with shotguns in Bogota, but personally this seems more unsafe.

I fear one of the sister teams will not be able to recover this leg :(

We return to Kaylynn & Haley's taxi disaster where they narrate as if their life is on the line. Meanwhile, Michelle & Victoria arrive 7th at the RB. Leo tries to start drama with James while Hung, Eswar, and James are helping each other. Again.

Michelle carries in a huge drum reciting the alphabet. :lol: They reveal they are well-tuned to the symphony.

DeAngelo gets an APPROVAL and has to deliver the cello to the nearby recital hall to listen to a performance before he could receive their next clue.

ROUTE INFO: Travel to Terere Vendor at Mercado 4! Yield ahead! Get yo' hourglass ready!

Meanwhile, the blondes arrive in last with Kaylynn doing the RB.

The volleyballers, Hung, and James are continuing to do a roundtable help session as Riley's cello drops to the floor.

DeAngelo & Gary chooses not to Yield.

ROUTE INFO: Teams must make terere, place it in a traditional canteen thermos, and carry it for the rest of the leg.

DETOUR: TAR20 Switchback - Stack watermelons 10x10 pyramids (Bopper & Mark and Rachel & Dave throwback), and bottle dance (Art & JJ switchback, disappointed but not surprised)

DeAngelo & Gary reach this first and they choose the melons.

All other teams are working on the cello. Kaylynn is completely confused at the sight of the construction. James finishes and is currently in 2nd place.

DeAngelo and Gary arrive at the watermelons and immediately start "Claire"ing the watermelons. :funny: Will & James choose not to Yield and muddle the terere.

Michelle keeps working while Hung moves ahead in 3rd. Leo sees what he did wrong and gets approved in 4th. Michelle almost drops her cello while Kaylynn finds a mistake in hers. Volleyballer is struggling.

DeAngelo & Gary are working on their first layer. "I think this is gonna be easy." Famous last words.

Will & James arrives at the bottle dance DT. Do they get the same penalty this time as TAR20's for using up all the bottles?

Will and James are failing miserably while Chee & Hung arrive at the terere. They choose not to Yield and do the watermelon Detour. Meanwhile, the people at the cello task are losing their minds. :clap2:

Riley gets approved and moves to 5th.

Michelle finishes in 6th and gets their clue. Meanwhile, Eswar & Aparna and Kaylynn & Haley are competing for last. Eswar explains strings had to be tied tight enough so they could be plucked, but not too tight for it to snap when pressure is added. Lots of unfiltered whipping sounds before it cuts off to commercial break.

We come back to Eswar and Kaylynn struggling. Leo & Alana quickly get the terere task done, choosing not to Yield as Will & James are ahead, and go do the bottle option. Hung & Chee are helping each other very well while Will & James are struggling with the floor technique.

Leo & Alana arrives at the bottle dance, while Will is a spotter for dance saying it's hard to translate it to choreograph for himself. Alana is at the bottles. Michelle & Victoria complete the terere, no Yield, and go do the bottle dance. DeAngelo & Gary are consistent.

Everyone is struggling with the bottle dance Detour while Michelle & Victoria arrive. Hung & Chee switch Detours.

Will & James do their first attempt at a live performance and fails. "What the hell"

Meanwhile, Kaylynn and Eswar are having a meltdown at the RB, elapsing 1 hour and 40 minutes at the task.

Riley & Madisson and Hung & Chee both arrive at the same time at the watermelons and begin stacking.

Leo keeps dropping his bottle.

Eswar finally finishes the RB, leaving Kaylynn & Haley behind in the dust.

Will & James check-in in 1st place and win $5,000 each. "I think we are surprising ourselves and every other team."

Hung & Chee are arguing and having a communication breakdown. Meanwhile, DeAngelo & Gary's watermelon pyramid rolls away under the dump truck.

Leo & Alana keep struggling while Michelle & Victoria DID IT!!! Currently in 2nd place. Eswar & Aparna do not Yield and move on to the Detour.

Michelle & Victoria are 2nd place! "We've never been this close in our lives."

Leo & Alana finish the bottles in 3rd and smash a bottle on their heads to celebrate. :funny: Eswar & Aparna arrive as they leave.

Meanwhile, Kaylynn has a Paraguayan audience watching her struggle. DeAngelo and Gary keep struggling and Riley & Madisson finish the Detour in 4th.

Leo & Alana are team number 3 while volleyballers are team number 4!

Kaylynn goes in to get it checked and finally passes. They need to hurry.

Meanwhile, Eswar & Aparna: "We have to finish before the blondes get here!"
They finish in record time with Aparna having a party.

Hung & Chee finish the stacking in 6th while DeAngelo & Gary are making a mess.

Eswar & Aparna are team number 5 and Hung & Chee are team number 6! Chee explains he needs to be a better communicator in a post-Pit Stop confessional.

The night does dark as Kaylynn & Haley arrive at the terere and make their way to the bottles. DeAngelo & Gary pass 3 hours and 15 minutes at the watermelons, oh my. I take my complaint about the Switchback back. :funny: WRP wins.

So Vanessa & Ralph and Elliot & Andrew-esque. Commercial break.

WOW WHAT
Michelle & Victoria with that random jump to 2nd came outta nowhere :funny:

Also, are DeAngelo & Gary about to go 1st to last after the detour? These tasks are killer, and the bottle dance seems like a harder task skill-wise on paper. Glad they used these for a double Switchback, just wish there was another leg in Paraguay for some new tasks. They should've saved Colombia for another season, and come up with better tasks there.

DeAngelo & Gary show up and De goes on a finishing speech. They jump the shark because Phil reveals they are not last (7th).

Kaylynn & Haley are the last team to arrive... however, this is a non-elimination Leg and they must complete a Speed Bump.
Kaylynn reveals she wants to make her dad who is undergoing treatment proud.

Are you defending them because they're a F/F team?  If it was a M/M team or a M/F team, would you not be as defensive?
Where is the sexism coming from?
I'm defending them because they are my favorite team, by far the most entertaining this season, and I will not allow you to call somebody idiots for not knowing some useless geography trivia or what not.

A great leg overall, proving that Paraguay leg is (really) not for everyone, all the tasks are great and challenging, including the double switch backs, and we still experience deja vus from TAR 20 (starting at noon, and ending at night, and two teams battled avoiding last place). Great job for Michelle & Victoria for picking the right detour and blast themselves from second to last to second place.

I never rewatched S20, should maybe watch the Paraguay leg again for comparison, but just from memory that first visit was a bit more chaotic, especially with penalties from the bottle dance.

Still, even with a fully replicated leg, I'm not complaining and thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Second best (after last leg), by far.

Shame that we couldn't get two hours of TAR this week, but I guess reality is more important than reality tv.
It was going to be hard to emulate the craziness of TAR 20's visit, but it was still a pretty great and tough leg.
The editors had to work overtime with the amount of time elapsed chyrons this week.
Michelle & Victoria randomly getting second.  :conf:
DeAngelo & Gary have become the most inconsistent team this season after finishing in the bottom, top, middle, and now bottom again. One bad decision can really be a killer.

That's a very interesting off-the-grapevine spec. I'm still considering this as a coincidence. We had a good amount of designated taxi drama back in Bogota and Kellie & LaVonne were unfortunately on the short end of the stick on that one.

Teams have gotten bad taxis before. Although it seems that the taxi drivers were provided- a possible mea culpa on production's behalf if there was a noticeable difference in results. That being said, it seemed like Hayley & Kaylynn were in the right area even when lost?

I am now curious to see the departure times next leg. If Kaylynn & Haley were really just minutes behind the NFL stars, then it all really was due to their taxi. Sucks how much of an impact these things can have sometimes.

But changing it to a NEL because of taxis?? That's unheard of, I'd be very surprised. Only time I remember them doing something even remotely similar was in S17 when Nick & Vicki got NEL'd in Russia after the judge falsely disapproved their Detour. But that was very fair and understandable, I'm not sure how I would feel if this leg was really turned into a NEL mid-leg.

First episode I was able to catch live this season! Below are my thoughts!  :conf: :cheer:

I actually didn't mind at all that the Detour was a Switchback to Season 20! It provided good drama with always changing positions and I found it quite funny when the watermelons had a massive slide for some of the teams!  :lol: :funny:

Taxi drama was also good to see! (finally!) and I also felt some "classic old school TAR" decided to pop up this episode? Does anyone else agree with this, or am I the lone black sheep on this issue?  ??? :funny: :lol:

The rest of the leg's tasks were also great to watch! I had great enjoyment watching the Roadblock and also the terere making was akways great to watch, I love culturally relevant TAR tasks!

Really happy that this leg was an NEL! I love Kaylynn & Haley (one of my favorite teams for the season) and I was glad they was saved this leg!  :conf:

Overall, very good leg this one was and I seriously cannot wait to watch next week's episode, in one of my favorite cities in the world!

It was funny that the editing made it look close between the last two teams, while we know there was a big difference... Can't wait to see the difference next week.

Yes, it's definitely become less and less rare these last few seasons. And that's a GREAT thing. TAR trying to hide camera and sound crew has sometimes been to the detriment of the editing and being able to capture the full picture of events on screen.

If you can, please remind me to type out DeAngelo & Gary and Kaylynn & Haley's Pit Stop departure times next week a little bit before the show. :2hearts: I am also curious about the time gap.

If the Panthers were originally in 1st when they read their Detour clue and spent around 3-1/2 hours at the Detour, and Kaylynn spent about 2 hours assembling the cello, I can guestimate there is probably an hour and 30 minutes disparity. Of course, this is very rough.

Paraguay always delivers!

Amazing tasks. In a way, it was pretty similar to TAR 20's leg in concept as it also had a musical instrument task on it.

The bottle Detour delivered in a fun epic way! Eswar & Aparna did amazing there, as well as...well every other team. Specially Michelle & Victoria.

I'm so happy the girls survived!
I'm trying to stay spoiler free, so far i'm doing good on it. Don't know who i'm cheering for (yet) but i think my faves are Kaylynn/Hayley, DeAngelo/Gary and Eswar/Aparna. Huge respect for the other teams though.

About this Will/James + Leo/Alana drama i don't mind much for both teams and i think the U-Turn thing was unecessary.

Will & James are surprising me though. They are incredibly smart and capable. Would say at this point they're favorites to win it.

This episode was a great return to Paraguay.

The Roadblock is a task I always love seeing on TAR, which is making something for the locals.

The mini-task was really quick and had teams make the local beverage and drink it. (I wonder why the teams who chose the watermelon Detour didn't save theirs)

The Detour was a great double switchback that provided a lot of great moments.

So far every team is delivering as always.

Top 2 teams:
Michelle and Victoria
Gary and DeAngelo

Rating: 5/5

Tereré lady goddesss <33333 love her camera-readiness. And also there's a kid who exudes "mom come pick me up I'm scared" energy. It's been a while since we see iconic non racers in TAR.

And also I love how Gary & DeAngelo (especially them since they're competent racers, but somehow trainwrecking their way to the end) and the brothers are not dominating the race, unlike similar teams from previous seasons.

I wonder how many teams would've struggled with the Roadblock if not for the 5-team alliance. Would've made for better TV and an even longer leg for more teams. I think this definitely played a huge role as to why the episode felt rushed (aside from the rushed editing pattern in recent seasons).

This reminded me of the Roadblock in S28 that got Brittany & Jessica eliminated. Teams definitely would've struggled and had meltdowns if it weren't for them working together.

Michelle & Victoria making a huge comeback again. From 7th at the Roadblock to 6th starting the Detour to 2nd at the Pit Stop. What?!? Lol

What a great episode. This beats out the first 3 episodes for me!

Loved how it started where everyone gets shown at the Pit Stop some drama in the Amazon.
Then we move to the Pit Start, a couple of insights from teams, then we move on to the airport scenes with some drama.
Great editing by the team. It felt absolutely nostalgic. This is the TAR that I have come to know and love about.

A couple of taxi dramas for added spice and suspense

The Roadblock was definitely a game changer as it broke some teams. A non-physical challenge that tripped the "physical" & "smart" teams.
I would have loved it if the search for the materials for the cello was on a wider area for added difficulty.
It also sort of paid homage to the Harp Detour in S.20 as both instruments were stringed instruments.

The Switchbacks absolutely were the crown jewels of the episode. I love how the Bottle Dance was modified from a Roadblock to a Detour, which is now requires a team effort to complete the task rather than the other team member waiting anxiously while the other performs. The watermelon stacking is already a killer, I knew teams are gonna get tripped up with this one.
But I do note, that it did not feel as much as the S.20's watermelon stacking where there were meltdowns, switching Detours.

Interesting snippet of Will & James practicing the Detour at home the Bottle Dance.

Last 2-team footrace gave me flashbacks of the S.20 of Vanessa & Ralph vs. Elliot & Andrew footrace to the Pit Stop. But it wasn't as suspenseful as S.20's

Overall, this was an amazing episode. For me, I could not fault it, if I did, that would be nitpicking.

10/10

_____________________________________________________

Some thoughts & analysis from the episode,

I personally, now am getting annoyed with Will & James and their alliance agenda. They were likable early on, but now it's starting to wane. Their over the top spoonfeeding of information and scheming of things is just overkill. It's like they're running the Race of others
Seriously, printing maps of Paraguay for each of their alliance mates and staging a distraction to ward of non-alliance members (Kaylynn & Haley). Let the other teams figure it themselves. Let them run their own Race. The 2 Sisters teams + Leo & Alana are on the outs. Man, they're outnumbered, they're the easy targets. What is this? Survivor? Hahaha. It gave me flashbacks of S.28's Brittany & Jessica where it cost them the Race in Switzerland & France where they were left out by the other teams. Had they made it there alongside Sheri & Cole, whom they have a connection, they would have survived. I just hope that this does not repeat, but I think, it will happen.

Being a super fan myself, it is indeed important to make relationships/alliances with teams on a strategic standpoint, as it could come in handy on the Race, such as dodging a potential U-Turn. But at the end of the day, these people are your competitors and there's only 1 team that will win the Race, of course, ideal is that, you get the threats out early on like the teams of physical background. It is an obvious choice. Case to case basis, but if it meant advancing further while others struggle should be the priority as the main goal is to make to the end. Overly aligning yourself with your alliance could be your downfall, like S.22's Caroline & Jennifer, they aligned with Max & Kate and Bates & Anthony, 2 strong teams and stayed with them till the penultimate leg which led to their downfall, it just wasn't a smart move from them. Getting rid of Joey & Meghan + Mona & Beth.
As S.17's Katie & Rachel said. might not be the exact statement but the context is "This isn't Amazing Friend, this is Amazing Race!"
As an old adage goes, anything in excess is bad, it should be in moderation. a 5-Team Alliance. Whoa there! This beats S.10's Six Pack Alliance of the Cho Brothers, Lyn & Karlyn and David & Mary.

Michelle & Victoria were one of the stars of this episode they just killed it. From back of the pack to 2nd.
They should have won 1st place if it weren't for their taxi fiasco. Whoever, casted these 2, should get an increase!

The other stars of the episode were DeAngelo & Gary. They have an interesting relationship. I just love how they interact with each other.
I can't help but notice, they matched S.27's Kelly & Shevonne's elapsed time at the Detour at 3 Hours & 45 minutes even surpassing it by an additional 2 minutes. But the Watermelon was harder obviously.
They absolutely join the roster of likable M/M Teams I root for: Andy & Tommy, Tanner & Josh, Matt & Redmond, Alex & Conor,
Leo & Jamal....

Finally, Hayley & Kaylynn are getting some character development as the episodes go on. Early on, I found them quite like Caroline & Jennifer, but the "Lite" version. They're growing on me. I want them to go further on.

Leo & Alana, I want them to get a 1st place and get their payback/revenge on Will & James. Props to Leo & Alana on their sort-of villanous attitude at the Pit Stop and animosity towards Will & James.

Eswar & Aparna, are sort of monotone for me, I think it's because of the edit for these on the first 3 legs. But in this leg, they get enough airtime for me to like them even more. Eswar kept his composure and did not get flustered despite being 2nd to last at the Roadblock. I did note that everytime they talk, it feels articulate and well thought off and I could really tell they are really geniuses and he knows Spanish! What a surprise. Every Indian that I know & met are smart.

Hung & Chee, is quite quiet, well Chee only. Hung is the more dominant force on their team. She's a little rocket.

Riley & Maddison, I really don't care much for these guys as they were boring in this leg.

Finally, Hayley & Kaylynn are getting some character development as the episodes go on. Early on, I found them quite like Caroline & Jennifer, but the "Lite" version. They're growing on me. I want them to go further on.
I found them quite like Liz & Marie from S19 when they talked about their dad and the fact that they have one good Leg and keep finishing in 8th place.
