From  a friend:

Quote
Read in a few of the forums to check your DVR to make sure it was still being recorded, as something changed about how the episodes were listed after episode 5 didn't air. I checked - my recording schedule did NOT have the episodes set to record any longer. Figured this was worth passing along again.

AND WE ARE ON THE AIR!

Previously on TAR, eight teams traveled from the lush Amazon Rainforest to Asuncion, Paraguay! After surviving a U-Turn, Leo & Alana confronted Will & James. At the RB, the alliance of five, continued to work together and Will & James' steady balance gave them their second win. Meanwhile, De & Gary fumbled and Kaylynn & Haley found a reason to celebrate. It means a Speed Bump. Eight teams remain, who'll be eliminated next?

FLY TO PARIS, FRANCE and travel to Domaine de Chantilly! Will & James depart first in 1st at 1:00AM. Will reveals he learned how to drive a stickshift. Michelle & Vic leave 1:55AM in 2nd as they talk about spending time together.

Michelle & Victoria on their way to the airport. Leo & Alana depart in 2:35 AM as they talk about crushes. Riley & Maddison depart in 4th four minutes behind the couple. Eswar & Aparna depart 5th and how their weaknesses were highlighted.

It's morning. First four teams on first flight.

All other teams on the second flight. No news of how far behind DeAngelo & Gary and Kaylynn & Haley were in reality at the Asuncion Pit Stop. First set arrive in Paris, and self-drive out of the garage.

Will & James are struggling. :clap2: "Now Riley & Madi are up ahead because these boys suck." - Alana :funny:

Leo sprints to Will & James' car to confront again. "We'll help you back up." :funny:

Leo sprints back down while Michelle & Vic surpass them in 2nd. Leo & Alana are 3rd as Will & James are behind.

"Be one with the car my love, you've got it." - James
"I don't know what to do." - Will

INTRO TIME!

And we come back to Will & James still having accelerator problems on the automotive mule ramp. "You need to focus." Will realizes he was pushing his gear shift into third.

2nd flight arrive as Hung & Chee and De & Gary quickly leave the parking. Kaylynn & Haley has a Will & James moment as Eswar & Aparna pass them.

Riley & Madi arrive at the cluebox. ROADBLOCK: Who has an eye for art? One team member has to match one of nine Renaissance gala attendees to paintings in the art gallery. After matching, they have to state who the painter of that particular character is to receive their next clue.

Volleyballers are daunted by the paintings.

Leo & Alana take a left on the highway as Michelle & Vic turn off the highway. They are having a communication breakdown. Will & James talk about their encounter with Leo.

Meanwhile, Riley has a strategy and finds someone with facial hair. Beards stick together. :funny:

Riley gets his clue!!! Whip Chantilly cream and fill four pies at Le Vertugadian.

Kaylynn & Haley are having stick problems while Michelle & Vic ask for directions from a local. De & Gary haven't seen a sign for Chantilly yet.

Riley & Madi reach the whipped cream task.

"Our dad owns a cookie restaurant, but we haven't whipped cream before." They are tired before they even started. "I would charge $60 for a pie."

Alana begins the RB by herself. She has a considerable lead against the other people on the first flight.
Title: Re: TAR 32 Episode 5 Live Show Updates & Commentary 11/11/20 8-9PM*
Post by: RachelLeVega on November 11, 2020, 07:17:06 PM
Meanwhile, Will & James arrive as Alana shortly finishes the RB and move on to the cream.

"Welcome to my beautiful home." - James in the art gallery

Leo & Alana catch up to the volleyballers. Maddison ask to see the baker's forearm.

James finds a lady and their guess is incorrect. Hung & Chee read the RB clue. James gets it right on the second try. They leave in 3rd place. Hung found "Jesus" and looks for the right gala attendee. She's right. :funny:

Victoria starts the RB in 6th while Aparna starts in 7th. Kaylynn & Haley are meanwhile stuck in traffic and an ambulance passes them by as they recount how much they have to do to finish the leg.

Commercial break.

We come back to the episode with Kaylynn & Haley assuming Chantilly is in the countryside, still in Paris. They are considerably lost. Meanwhile, Hung & Chee arrive at the Chantilly cream bakery. Riley & Madisson bring their pies to the tent and is bombarded with an Austrian folly.

ROUTE INFO: Drive back to Paris and pick up the next clue at Musee Des Artes Fontaine.

The volleyballers continue alliance talk.  :groan: Victoria and Aparna are making their choices at the RB. Vic finishes in 5th while Aparna is incorrect on the 2nd time. DeAngelo & Gary finally arrive in Chantilly while Kaylynn & Haley are way behind.

Leo & Alana give their pies and his ears are covered by Chantilly cream, as well as Will & James. Hung's hat gets the best treatment. :clap2: Michelle & Victoria quickly catch up.

This RB is umm... interesting. The three games are can knock, horse race/skee ball, and target throw.

DeAngelo & Gary arrive at the RB. Aparna says this task is really hard. Gary explains he is an art enthusiast. DeAngelo says the title quote!

Kaylynn & Haley find horse poop and feel sorry that the horse had to wait for them. They continue wiping down the leather.

Gary finds the correct guy and receives his clue in 6th. Aparna is much more confident about her choice and is incorrect again. "I just want to be done with this challenge."

We come back to Aparna continuing to go art-insane with the RB. "I don't want to let my brother down." She and Eswar discuss their family's American dream. "Let's hope this is the right guy."

Correct. 16th attempt. Meanwhile, Kaylynn & Haley get their saddles checked and move on to the RB.

Volleyballers at the carnival and Maddison finishes the second game. He focuses on a grain of sand to shoot through the hole. They shoot the target as a finale to reveal their next clue.

PIT STOP: Pont des Arts - the famous bridge which had a massive amount of love locks. Last team to check in may be eliminated.

Leo & Alana arrive at the second RB with crazy efficiency.

"Chef Boyardee in the building." :lol:

Eswar & Aparna and DeAngelo & Gary start the Chantilly cream whipping while the blondes are behind at the RB.

Riley & Madisson arrive at the Pit Stop and are TEAM NUMBER 1. They win a trip for two to Phu Quoc, Vietnam sponsored by Travelocity. Hung & Chee reach the second RB as well.

Chee passes Leo with his stellar hand-eye coordination. "Chee and Hung are made of magic fairy dust." - Alana :funny: Both finish and move on while Michelle & Victoria try to find the arcade. Will & James arrive with a considerable start.

DeAngelo & Gary get covered in pie as well as Eswar & Aparna. Eswar's cloche gets hit off while Aparna tries to lick the pie off of her face before moving forward. Kaylynn & Haley still at the Renaissance RB.

Hung & Chee are 2ND PLACE at the Pit Stop. The Pit Stop placement announcements being cut again.
Leo & Alana are 3RD!

Michelle & Victoria are driving in the wrong direction.

DeAngelo and Eswar do the second RB, wondering where the blondes are. Kaylynn & Haley keep grinding at the Chantilly cream task. They don't even bother to wear a cloche and their hair gets covered.

Will & James are 4TH PLACE with Phil saying the French authorities want to revoke Will's driver's license.

Meanwhile, Michelle & Victoria are completely lost while Kaylynn & Haley are low-key struggling. DeAngelo & Gary and Eswar & Aparna get the second RB done.

We come back to Kaylynn & Haley stuck in traffic. Michelle & Victoria ask a post office for directions.

DeAngelo & Gary and Eswar & Aparna are team numbers 5 & 6!!!

"Once you get there, it's the last time you'll have to drive this car again." / "Look at this, it's all museums."

Kaylynn & Haley reach the second RB and hope they are not lost. They quickly are making as much progress as possible and finish the RB in 7th. Michelle & Victoria have spent 6 hours in the car lost.

Meanwhile, Kaylynn & Haley are TEAM NUMBER 7 and are still in the race.

Kaylynn & Haley keep pulling rabbits out of their toques. Meanwhile, Michelle & Victoria reach the second RB in dead last and are making progress on the task as best as possible. Victoria is hopeful with the outcome.

They reach Phil as they are the last team to arrive and have been unfortunately eliminated from the race. :( "We are so grateful for everything." They have become best friends when they haven't been in each other's lives that much.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode!

Another episode I was able to catch live! Great job on the updates as well Rachel!  :2hearts:

I enjoyed this episode, however, I found the Roadblocks to be a little boring? Maybe because I'm not interested one bit in art and because I suck at those stupid carnival games and just end up wasting my money.  :lol: :funny:. The pie task was quite hilarious to watch and I had many laughs watching it!  :funny: :lol:

Watching Will drive a manual car is probably the exact way I would react to driving a manual car.  :funny: :lol:, gosh I really should practice manual before I decided to apply for TAR Aus!  :lol: :funny:

Poor Michelle & Victoria! Driving around Paris for six & a half hours would SUCK big time! I know there's going to be some really upset RFF fans here...  :'(

Overall, another good episode, really looking forward to next week!  :conf: :cheer:

Overall a great leg, not your typical paris leg. The first RB has cool concept and cool execution, the pie making and throwing is fun to watch , while the second RB is interesting to watch, it is unique and fun task, and I actually end up liking it. Self driving drama definitely the highlight of this episode tho as some teams struggle to either driving with stickshift or getting the direction. It's a great Paris leg.

With all of the talk about back to basics with the Yield, this season is bringing out a lot of Amazing Race 101 with reading the clue, driving stick, and navigation.
The tasks as a whole were decent with the pie task getting a lot of laughs, but the leg was buoyed by the teams and driving.
This leg was a prime example of it's never over until Phil eliminates you. Devastating though to lose Michelle & Victoria to such poor sense of direction.

Leo trash talking Will & James only for them to walk in seconds later.  :funny:
DeAngelo's reaction to Renaissance man Gary.  :funny:
Hung & Chee are beasts, and Alana's magic fairy comment.  :funny:

I was teaching so I only caught the second half of this episode- from what I saw, the art RB was fantastic! Second RB was boring. It felt more appropriate for the opening of a leg rather than the ending- it was only entertaining when multiple teams were there (Chee/Leo), so it would've benefitted for teams being clustered after a flight. It also felt more fitting for a leg entirely in Paris. It felt like an entirely different leg, tbh. The Paris part felt abrupt compared to the countryside. The cream task was also quite good; it was linear, but entertaining. Almost a perfect ARI tbh were it not for it being followed by another relatively linear task.

Not production's fault everyone ended up spread apart due to self-driving issues with the two girl teams hours apart from everyone else.

Starting to think that no one end up using the yield in this season lol
Historically, the Yield has never been that powerful early in the race until Family Edition. :duno: It's best used in final 5 scenarios.

I was teaching so I only caught the second half of this episode- from what I saw, the art RB was fantastic! Second RB was boring. It felt more appropriate for the opening of a leg rather than the ending- it was only entertaining when multiple teams were there (Chee/Leo), so it would've benefitted for teams being clustered after a flight. It also felt more fitting for a leg entirely in Paris. It felt like an entirely different leg, tbh. The Paris part felt abrupt compared to the countryside. The cream task was also quite good; it was linear, but entertaining. Almost a perfect ARI tbh were it not for it being followed by another relatively linear task.

I agree.
There should have been a Detour in Chantilly. Maybe make both the Road Block and Speed Bump more difficult and have those be the Detour tasks. Creme task was good to fill out the Leg. And the carnival RB should've been the only RB of the Leg. But it's also a task best done with lots of teams there at the same time.

They also could've flipped the Leg around and have the carnival RB first and the art RB last.

Love the episode, so sad about the elimination  :'( Hope to see them in another season, second chance style!

I wished they did all the episode in Chantilly and around. What the point of coming back to Paris for just one task (that was not that great) and the pitstop. They could have made them drive to Compiègne or Beauvais. Paris is a bit overused at this point.

Love the self-driving, this season is giving old-season vibes and I LOVE IT
Can't wait for next week in Germany (It would have kind-of made sense to have France and Germany as a back-to-back episode no?)

I hope they take the train from Paris to Berlin, and have them do a task along the way.

What some are calling the art gallery roadblock has been seen before, but not in many seasons. I recall something very similar in a Venice leg as a roadblock, where teams were given a photograph of a masked performer and had to find them inside a mask party. All the teams that season struggled mightily with that roadblock. This task definitely had those vibes, but different racers with different skill sets produced widely divergent results. Actually, a pretty well executed task.
The carnival games roadblock definitely had a Moulin Rouge feel to it. The cream pie task was hilarious, especially when the teams getting hit by cream pies while they tried to deliver the pies.
Driving stick. Always an issue every time it rears its head in an episode of TAR. Most people these days have to specifically learn how before filming the Race. It takes practice to master it, and enough practice before filming to feel natural driving stick.

This was a really fun episode (although I would have liked it be more rural France than going back to Paris).

The Speed Bump was OK, was just your typical Speed Bump.

The first RB was fantastic, having to look at all the paintings and look for one that has a person who's at the party was brilliant.

The pie making task was so hilarious, teams didn't expect to have pies thrown at them. :funny:

The carnival RB was OK, having teams play carnival games was not that interesting.

Show content
So sad to see Michelle and Victoria go. They were a fun team to watch in their five episodes. :'(

Rating: 4/5

Lol still can't fathom about how the heck Michelle and Vic were lost in Paris for 6.5 HOURS to the carnival task, where almost everyone had no trouble navigating to it. I mean race stress and sleep deprived factor (also luck) could be the factors, but still...

I know I shouldn't be surprised since they had to find the clue on the U-Turn spot for like 34 minutes where the clue and the U-Turn spot were in the same spot, but holy cow....

I loved this leg from top to bottom.
Also, the girls surviving was the high point of the episode. Incredible! Such high energy and excitement for this team!
I'm cheering a lot for them.

They got lost going down a one-way street LOL.

They must have check-in way past 7 hours at the pitstop. Wonder if they got lost to the pitstop as well :funny:

My sense is telling me that having the last task and the pit stop in Paris has more to do with releasing teams for the next leg is a timely way in order to compensate for the self driving in this leg. As was apparent, some teams were clearly there in the afternoon, the last couple of teams were at night.

This seemed to me like a leg that got put together real last minute. Both Roadblocks were incredibly easy and boring to watch

Tbh I  just couldn’t understand why Leo and Alana was complaining about how will and James

If they do think they are a strong team they should move on and prove themselves but not hoping that “ the car issue  would have them eliminated ” or hope that they were still stuck in the airport. If you are on the show, you should be prepared for being uturned

Strong competitors like Tyler and Korey from s31 will just accept the fact and move on and even mended fence with team fun who had had uturned them

It’s really irritating to watch  :duno:

Now that I remember, a freeze-frame said that they were physically in the car for 6 and a 1/2 hours. ??? That includes time traveling back from Domaine de Chantilly which is around 1 and a 1/2 hours. Not sure if they included the part where they drove to the Domaine.

A good 3-4 hours lost on a one-way street though... :lol:

Driving in Paris is a nightmare. Narrow streets, tons of pedestrians, Lack of street markers. Parking scarce.

And if you aren't really comfortable with manual shifting add that in.

That driving and navigation was a TASK all in itself.

Oh, and Tyler & Korey careers are directly linked to social media may also have something to do with it.

That's the thing about reality competition. Physical health affects mental health. If you recall, Brazil Leg was really tough, chaotic and hot. Combining with a hard detour, u-turn and the confusion about the reason for u-turning can easily mess up any team sanity.

As for Tyler & Korey, the situation was much easier to cope. U-turn before the detour at the start of the leg, knowing that Team Fun got U-turned first, their second time on the race, the humidity, the excitement from getting to ride the elephant, the pride of finishing above 3 teams including Team Fun even with the U-turn. Yeah, there's no comparison.

Oh, and Tyler's & Korey's careers are directly linked to social media may also have something to do with it.

In an insider video, Michelle mentioned they found the second RB not until after 5pm, and at one shot they mentioned being lost at around 3pm. So they must had driven for around 3 hours at least for the trip from pie to carnival.

Late to the party but, when I saw Paris, France in the spoilers 2 years ago, I wasn't expecting that much. True enough, it did.
It felt like a replacement leg for me. The tasks were kind off-easy as compared to what Manaus, & Asuncion offered.
Looking for a match in a painting, playing carnival games and whipping cream & placing it on a pie.
A wasted opportunity. They could have replaced the leg in a different European country rather than France again *sigh*
The self-driving aspect of the leg saved the episode for me.

Gary loving art & art appreciation, went to museums, has art pieces at home, much to the surprise of DeAngelo. Very surprising for a 6'6 guy that's a football player. "You do not strike me as a Renaissance Man." That small exchange between the 2 was one of the highlights of the episode for me.

I thought Will & James would never recover from the driving-a-stick issue. I found it odd at first because they were superfans, they are the least team that I expect to make such an error. Amazing Race 101, learn to drive a stick.

While I do like Leo & Alana more than Will & James, the rudeness was unnecessary and uncalled for.
It reminded me the annoying Father/Son team, Dave & Connor from S.22 & S.24 where they were sour toward Brendon & Rachel. But then again, inter-team drama adds spice.

Michelle & Victoria are solid Racers, They were strong in terms of performance but the smallest of mistakes and errors contribute to their biggest downfall. In the Manaus leg, we saw them commit to a lot of errors, going down to the port instead of the market, missed bringing the listed items and missed the clue where they wandered around the route marker for 34 minutes which cost them 6th Place ending in 7th. I knew that these girls are bound to make another mistake in future and it did. Since Paris was a self-driving leg, I knew Michelle would drive as she works for BMW, you can't be a car saleswoman if you can't drive but I did not expect them to get lost for 6 hours and 30 minutes, could have been more.

Kaylynn & Haley pulling through despite the odds. Everything was not in their favor initially. Can't drive stick, Speedbump.
"Don't give up" attitude is strong with these ladies.

Hung & Chee making it back to front of the pack, this couple is not to be underestimated. Quiet racers. I cannot wait what these 2 has to offer more in the succeeding legs.

Overall a below average episode for me. 4/10
I found the episode painful to watch as the episode unfolded, you clearly knew who will be gone by the end of the episode.
I got flashbacks of the eliminations of Kym & Alli, Tanner & Josh, Marty & Hagan, Matt & Redmond, Alex & Conor.
It's a loss as I rooted for them. I wanted them to pull through...Ugh.
I still have Gary & DeAngelo and Hung & Chee to root for...
