:waves: ya'll know the rules. If you are watching TAR on AXN you are minutes ahead of us as they do not get the commercials so please be aware of that when commenting. We like to watch together which is 8:00pm ET, so please don't "Joab" us :lol:

Its crazy I know but its more fun to find out what happens as it happens.

great day for cbs go illini!!!
-
There will be no overruns tonight. If the 4 p.m. game goes into OT and runs past the 6 p.m. ET local window, the news will be cut short so the primetime lineup can start on time at 7 p.m.
-
It'll start on time for me, either way. I'm in MST, not EST or CST, so all our shows here start on time since they're not shown live like they are in the other two timezones.
-
You're special. ;)

I'm officially avoiding this topic until 10am. 10 mins till it starts! :sucks
It's really great to have TAR live here in Singapore. Even Survivor isn't given this privilege and gets delayed until like 6 or 7 hours before we get our first telecast.
And, they have put TAR in a primetime slot finally after 10 seasons! (Previously TAR3) It's now at 8pm here, which means more people get to watch the show during/after dinner.. rather than at 11pm.. which most people would have chosen to go to sleep!
So all's good news for TAR here in Singapore! More recognition finally! :yess:

odd opening ..
-
We're on like Donkey Kong!
-
Home with 2 minutes to spare! :wohoo:
I will either be crying or screaming with joy tonight, so get ready either way! :hearts: :hearts:
We are off!
-
I like this new opening.
-
At least there was no Margie & Luke show this time around. I have a feeling they're going to feature a different team in the opening each week.

peach :jumpy: :waves:
-
Extended pitstop. No way did Tammy & Victor arrive at 10:13 p.m. in the last leg.
-
PREVIOUSLY ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:
Phil: Eleven teams are racing around the World. Luke/Margie won the first leg, exceeding expectations. Mel/Mike confessional about it. Mother/Son developed an alliance with Jamie/Cara. Father/Son Mel/Mike struggled with his groin injury but soared ahead on the paraglide, to a 2nd place finish. Stuntmen/brothers proved their mettle in ep 1, while flight attendants Christie/Jodi barely escaped elimination 2 weeks in a row. Lawyers/Sibilings Tammy/Victor went no holds barred and came in 1st in the 2nd leg. Coming tonight, after 2 legs of solid teamwork, they begin to unravel in Rumania. And it threatens their position in the Race. (Wow, this is a helluvan intro!)
Credits roll.
-
Second place apparently an hour and 45 minutes behind.
-
So far, Tammy & Victor are breezing once again, but as we have seen, that ends ..... TODAY!!!! :lol:
-
Phil: This is Salzburg, Austria, birthplace of Mozart. Scholss Helbrunn, palace, was the 2nd pitstop in a Race around the world.
Tammy/Vic, CLUE, 10:13 am. Make your way to Bucharest, Romania.
Phil: Travel to Munich, land in Bucharest. Take a taxi to the place where Nadia Comaneci trained for gymnastics.
Vic is barking at her already, with a multi-hour lead. WTF!?
Describing flight times, travel agency woman: It's half past three. Then quarter to five ...
They'll train to Munich.
Mel/Mike, 12:01 pm.
(1 hour 48 minute lead for T/V)
Amanda/Kris, 12:12
Margie/Luke, 12:30. Luke signs something about wanting to be able to communicate with the other teams and know what they're talking about.
Mom thought Bucharest was Hungary. Kellie Pickler much?
Tammy/Vic, airport in Munchen get the 3:20 flight.
Brad/Victoria, CLUE, 12:53 pm.
Brad was a drug addict and alcoholic. Now he's just a R O B O T
Jaime/Cara, 1:17 or summat.
Mel/Mike get on a train. As do Margie/Luke, Brad/Victoria
Amanda/Kris find a nice man on the train to help them get 4:45 flight reservations, but what a tight connection - 20 minutes from the train station to the gate. Ummm ... I thought you needed 30 minutes for int'l flights??
-
And so far, no mention of The Sound of Music, unless you guys heard something I did not.
-
Tammy & Victor turn back around to Munich.
-
Teams 0on train find out it'll be another 5 hours if they miss the 4:45 flight. So they've gotta run or be innovative.
Kisha/Jen 1:51 pm
Mark/Michael 2:00
Christie/Jodi 2:42 pm
-
Tammy/Vic leave on the 3:25 flight to Bucharest.
Next bunch makes it to the airport from the train, plenty of time to make the 4:45 departure. Yay?
Uh-oh, Tammy/Vic have mechanical issues with their plane.
They'll have to turn around in mid-air (no, I'm not making this up) and return to Munich for servicing the aircraft or another plane or summat.
-
So far, Tammy & Victor are breezing once again, but as we have seen, that ends ..... TODAY!!!! :lol:
Actually, right now!
-
Teams are now taunting Tammy & Victor and they are in the back of the pack.
-
Brad & Victoria's flight has taken off from Amsterdam. Without Brad & Victoria. Damn. :groan:
-
Jodi's shirt with her daughter!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooooooo! B/V!!!
-
Brad/Victoria get a 7:30 departure thru Amsterdam, but boarding find out they'll be delayed in Amsterdam!
AIRPORT DRAMA RETURNS IN SPADES!
Uh-oh, they find out their flight LEFT ALREADY. Stuck like Chuck, in Amsterdam.
And the only thing missing is the woman's voice, "MIND YOUR STEP! MIND YOUR STEP!"
COMMERCIAL.

-
Brad: We have to be there immediately.
Woman at reticketing counter: Sorry they all left for the day. Earlest is 9:15 tomorrow morning.
Brad/Vic hug, knowing they're falling behind and they can't do anything about it.
Teams arrive in Romania at night. They head to the Sala Gimnastica.
CLUE, Kris/Amanda, ROADBLOCK.
Phil: One person must engage in gymnastics. Three moves, balance beam, parallel bars, floor exercises. Must perform all 3 moves correctly and in order for the next clue.

Amanda, Margie will perform.
-
Amanda rocked this task!
-

-
Good Job Marge an Mike!
-
Margie got through it. Mike seems to be having fun at the gymnastics task.
-
Amanda and Margie both begin.
Margie will have to start over.
Of Mel/Mike, the younger will perform.
Amanda's done!
Kris/Amanda, CLUE: Travel to Brasov, Transylvania.
Phil: They have to get to Biserica Niegra (black church) for the next clue.
-
FOG..no outgoing flights! Hellfire, it is the clowns(??) all over agin!
Amanda rocks it!
No title from Kris...my second choice will be Mel!
Drink please puddin!
-
You know so far, Margie has really done exceptionally well in all three legs. I like her a lot.
-
Victor goes the wrong way to the sports complex. What is he doing?
-
Kisha having trouble on the parallel bars. Tammy having trouble on the balance beam.
Christie rocks the gymnastics task as does Mark.

The young ghey is done too!
Kris/Amanda find out tomorrow morning is the first train to Brasov.
Possible equalizer??
(Correction ... Sorry, the clue said travel by TRAIN to Brasov!)
Tammy/Vic reach someplace by taxi in Bucharest, but it doesn't look like the Sala Gimnastica.
Meanwihle, Kisha/Jen and Stuntmen reach the Sala. As do Jaime/Cara.
Tammy/Vic aren't far, though; it's walking disatnce from where they are.
Kisha nails a routine.
Stuntdude is doing well too.
Tammy/Vic arrive in 8th to the Sala.
Kisha bumbles the parallel bars. Oops!
Tammy bumbles on the balance beam.
Tammy conf: We fell behind, so I got stressed thinking how we'd get out, as opposed to what I had to do.
Midgets leave for Transylvania in 5th, Jaime/Cara get ready to leave in 6th.
Kisha and Tammy both do floor exercises at the same time.
Tammy does a very bad straddle.
Kisha/Jen leave in 7th.
Tammy stumbles doing a cartwheel.
Vic: Do a better cartwheel!
Tammy: I dunno how to DO a cartwheel!
Vic: You got to kick your leg up! Tumble! You're dropping on your head instead of placing your head.
Vic, to the camera: She's (hits his head) ... right now we're just totally behind.
-
Tammy about ready to take Victor's head and slam it through a wall.
-
Tammy finishes, in 8th.
Vic: Your brain just froze.
Tammy GLOWERS at Vic.
Vic: You have to you know, just .. think.
Tammy: I don't want to talk about it.
Vic: Fine.
Tammy conf: It's frustrating. When we're racing, he won't listen to me. He thinks I'm weak. He thinks he's accommodating for me. I'm not sure how to deal with it.
COMMERCIAL.
-
off topic! WOOHOOOOOOO Kyle Busch!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Train bunching, but Brad & Victoria have yet to leave Amsterdam.
-
Tammy about ready to take Victor's head and slam it through a wall.
That would be really awesome.
-
Remember they were at the train at 430AM...B/V can't leave Amsterdam till what? after 9AM?? :crybabe:
Good job Tammy! That was hard! I can't do cartwheels either :lol:-- :ghug: for Tammy!
-
off topic! WOOHOOOOOOO Kyle Bucch!!!!!!!!!!!!
Booo down with Bush, Sorry I mean Busch...
-
The guy doing the CBS Entertainment Stimulus package promo looks a lot like Tom Brokaw, but he does not sound like Tom Brokaw.
-
Tammy about ready to take Victor's head and slam it through a wall.
That would be really awesome.
I'd pay to watch that.
-
Eight teams are on the train.
Brad & Victoria are still in Amsterdam.
-
SHOW US BRAD AND VICTORIA!!! darn it all....
oh okay, thank you! :lol:
-
Will Brad & Victoria be eliminated in Amsterdam?
-
Cara & Jaime communicate with Luke. He appreciates it.
Brad & Victoria are just leaving Amsterdam at 9:30 a.m. the following day. :'( :'( :'(
-
I see it now. Amanda & Kris and Brad & Victoria in a footrace to the mat.
And Vlad the Impaler reference. Not a Dracula reference. Damn!!! Damn!!!
-
Jaime & Cara get the cab driver from hell.
Meanwhile, it's a raucous caucus at Gypsy Town!
-
It's 6:30 am, and the Bucharest train station is EQUALIZED between the top 8 teams.
All of 'em are on the road.
Together.
No sign of Brad/Vic, whose plane doesn't leave for another couple of hours from AMS.
Jaime/Cara conf about communication with Luke. They're all lovey-dovey apparently.
Brad: We have to get off the plane and race hard.
Victoria conf: If one team is as screwed up as us I'll be really happy!
Their flight leaves as the others arrive in Brasov.
Teams get taxis. Tammy/Vic somehow got back in the lead.
Amanda/Kris seem to be in 2nd with a much better driver. They take the lead.
What a wonderful church! Wow.
I'm impressed (and it takes a lot to impress me)
DETOUR: Gypsy moves, or Vampire remains?
Gypsy moves: Make way to gypsy settlement, load family belongings onto a cart and navigate it to a new camp, unload it for the next clue.
Vampire: Drag a coffin to a clearing, unlock chains, reveal antiques inside. In the spirit of Vlad the impaler, impale the frames on a stake to reveal a hidden flag for the next clue.
-
Gypsy Town is fun! But not so much for Mel's groin.
-
Kris and Amanda owned that detour!
-
The music at Gypsy Town is hilarious!!!! :lol: :lol:
-
Victor goes off the beaten path while Christie & Jodi are rocking the task.
Gypsy Town music is just making me laugh. :lol: :funny: :funny:
-
Vila Panoramic is the Pit Stop.
-
Brad/Vic land in Bucharest.
Brad: Everything has to fall into place for us.
In taxis, Teams get confused as they try to find the places they have to go for their chosen DETOUR option.
Love the gypsy music!
Hopefully I'm not the only person here whose parents used to make them behave by threatening to give them to the gypsies. (Like I knew what gypsies were?!)
Mel/Mike load family belongings.
So do Amanda/Kris.
Eww .. Who is that hag dancing!?
Jaime/Cara have a bad cabbie. He's driving like, on the sidewalk or summat.
Other teams have already loaded belongings on to horse drawn carts.
Stuff falls off Mel/Mike's cart as they follow behind picking stuff up.
Tammy/Vic reach the castle, having chosen the Vampire graveyard thingy.
So have Christie/Jodi, who arrive along with them.
They trundle down a semi-marked path in the woods.
Vic shlepps uphill, huffing and puffing.
The SIGN (yes the Sign!) in the woods says one way to coffins, one way to impaling.
Did they go the right way?
Jaime/Cara have a language barrier with their cabbie.
Kris/Amanda unload gypsy stuff. Mel/Mike close behind.
Tammy/Vic rumbling through the forest are lost.
Christie/Jodi have a coffin.
Jaime/Cara arrive at the graveyard.
Tammy/Vic find another marker.
CLUE, Kris/Amanda: Travel by taxi to the Vila Panoramic.
Phil: This inn, overlooking the castle from Dracula, is the pitstop. Last team to check in may be eliminated.
-
Victor is going to be the death of his team yet. Stubborn and he's not listening to Tammy.
-
Tammy begins to speak out against the stubborn Victor and Amanda & Kris find their fanny pack.
-
MEL & MIKE #1!!!! :jumpy: :jumpy: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam:
-
Could Victor lead their team to elimination?????
-
Margie/Luke have a coffin.
Jaime/Cara seem to have one.
Margie fumbles with keys trying to unlock the lock/chains.
The keys don't fit all the locks. Hit/miss.
Tammy/Victor still very lost.
Vic: We're NOT going back down!
Victoria finishes her gymnastics routine. Brad/Vic head for Brasov.
Kisha/Jen do gypsy move.
Amanda/Kris get back in their taxi.
But they are missing their fanny packs!
Mel/Mike not far behind.
Kris: It had everything! Our passports! Money! This is terrible!
Christie/Jodi do impaling.
Tammy/Victor are following red and white markers which apparently lead into the woods and nowhere else.
Tammy: It's frustrating.
Vic: I know.
Tammy: Frustrating that we follow YOUR gut instead of mine!
Kris finds the fanny packs. Somebody had them. Meh.
They're in 2nd now, behind Mel/Mike.
K/A run, M/M walk up the hill toward the Amazing Bathmat.
Flautist plays a pan flute. Welcome to Rumania!
Phil: Mel/Mike, you're team #1. You've won a trip for 2 to Costa Rica.
Mel does a confessional about how special Mike is. And not just because he's Mike's father!
Phil: Kris/Amanda, you're team #2.
-
Could Victor lead their team to elimination?????
No, but it would be awesome.
-
I see it now. Amanda & Kris and Brad & Victoria in a footrace to the mat.
And Vlad the Impaler reference. Not a Dracula reference. Damn!!! Damn!!!
Wrong on all accounts. :groan:
-
puddin is going to cry...... :'(
-
^offers a shoulder.
-
Brad & Victoria are catching up. Nice.
-
Me thinks Tammy and Victors cameraman is cussing up a storm!
-
peach is already crying... :'(
The last team may be eliminated....
-
And my local CBS channel is ruining my TAR DVD by running a massive weather banner. Hey WPRI-TV, f**k you!!!!
-
Me thinks Tammy and Victors cameraman is cussing up a storm!
:funny: SAME HERE!
-
Tammy is ready to impale Victor.
-
Mel and Mike's team number one was :wohoo:
They are officially the first all male team favourite since Derek and Drew for me. :funny:
-
Tammy: Victor, I don't think this is right.
Vic finds a marker.
The arrows point BOTH WAYS!
Tammy: I don't think we would have arrows pointing both directions.
Vic: We need to go, please?
Tammy: Aiight.
She follows him, somewhere.
Kisha/Jen finish the gypsy move in 3rd.
Margie moves on to impaling picture frames.
Jaime/Cara finally find their correct keys.
Margie/Luke leave in 4th
Mark/Michael finish DETOUR in 5th
Tammy: Victor. This is not right.
Vic is crying. He's down on hands ahd knees.
Vic: If you want to make the decision, go back.
Tammy: I say, let's turn around.
Vic: Okay. Let' go back. I agree.
They return down the hillside.
Christie/Jodie finish their impaling in 6th.
Jaime/Cara finish in 7th.
Guess that leaves Tammy/Vic and the folks who aren't even there yet.
Phil: Kisha/Jen, you're team #3. Margie/Luke, you're team #4.
Tammy/Vic trundle back down the hill.
She makes him keep going.
He finally finds THE arrow (not the ones they've been following).
Vic then finds THE SIGN with the impaling one way, coffins the other.
He's like, all humble now.
Phil: Mark/Michael, you're team #5. Christie/Jodi, you're team #6.
-
Tammy is ready to impale Victor.
I know Victor is all "chauvinistic", but i like it that Tammy don't scream and shout back at him. If I were Tammy, i would have gone..
F**K IT VICTOR, STOP BEING SO STUBBORN, FOLLOW ME. :funny:
-
Vic slides downhill with a coffin in tow.
He's still barking instructions about the keys!
What a jackass.
Oops, they can't find the correct key to unlock their coffin. Did they lose a key?
Brad/Vic conf: Could another team possibly have screwed up this bad?
Phil/Jamie/Cara, you're team #7.
-
Tammy & Victor are not working well today.
-
And Christie and Jodi ain't second-to-last place anymore!! :jumpy:
-
Be careful Joab!!
-
Victor cries. THERE's NO CRYING ON THE RACE, VICTOR!!!! :lol:
-
Be careful Joab!!
I know... :res: I'm following mswood's commentary. Whatever she has posted i'll comment! :funny:
-
Brad & Victoria. Brad & Victoria. Brad & Victoria.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Victor cries. THERE's NO CRYING ON THE RACE, VICTOR!!!! :lol:
I think it's really sweet. A big man crying over his own mistakes and feels sorry about it. I still like them alot! :funny:
-
OH ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssugar!!!
-
Brad & Victoria. Brad & Victoria. Brad & Victoria.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Anyway, our local channel cut off our preview for next episode again. :groan:
-
I LOVE YOU VICTORIA AND BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i need a moment ....................
-
Brad & Victoria were too far behind the 8 ball. So sad.
-
Vic finds the key in the grass. He unlocks the coffin. He impales picture frames.
They leave in 8th.
Love the grim reaper dude who hands the clues out.
Phil: Tammy/Victor, I'm sorry to tell you that you are ... pause ... the 2nd to last team to arrive. You're still in the Race.
Tammy: Second to last? Wow.
Vic cries.
Vic conf: The older brother - little sister dynamics don't work in the Race. We need to work better. It's unintentionally hurtful.
Tammy conf: I need to hurt his feelings a little bit when I think I'm right and he's wrong. Hopefully we'll have as strong a relationship as we had coming into the Race.
Brad unlocks a coffin and impales a frame.
Victoria had fun.
Brad conf: Can't think of a better person to share this with than Victoria.
Phil: Brad/Victoria, you're the last team to arrive. Sorry to tell you, you've both been eliminated from the Race.
Vic conf: We both understand and accept our differences. This Race will change the way we view our lives together.
-
My recap is going to be missing some pics tonight thanks to stupid local crawl. Thanks, WPRI-TV.
-
Anyone went LOL when Brad was "bloody" all over. It was seriously like he was bitten by a vampire or something. :funny:
-
I will be so sad to see Brad & Victoria loose in a few hours.....
-
And i think Tammy and Victor really seriously got lucky here. They would have been eliminated had it not been Brad and Victoria's flight. Would have been a Azaria and Hendekea shocker!!
-
NEXT TIME ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:
Phil: In the icy cold of Siberia, teams' walls come crumbling down.
Wall building challenge in the middle of nowhere. Looks like a couple of their houses of cards came crashing down.
Phil: .. and Luke takes the ride of his life, but hits a dead end.
Something to do with matching up numbers on a hill. Luke makes groaning noises and exhibits frustration.
Margie: Keep trying!
-
Thank you mswood, good job!
I am mad at TAR right now....
-
Thank you mswood, good job!
I am mad at TAR right now....
Why are you mad peachy! :(
-
Brad and Victoria are gone! :crybabe:
-
This episode is definitely better than the last! More interesting at least, like we finally see teams stress up on the race!
I love how Kisha and Jen worked well together this leg. This just proves my point that when a team is constantly leading and in a comfortable position, they rarely quarrel and when they know they are in dead last, they stress up and start cussing out each other. Good job Kisha and Jen! And Kisha has a sexy back. :funny:
Love the Roadblock, i think Mike looks seriously "cute" in it and i was laughing non-stop. Kudos to them clinching first, i was hoping it would be them than Amanda and Kris.. because i think it will be quite hard for them to take another first, which means other teams will come in first again. :yess: But Mel and Mike seriously work well and it's nice to see the dad keep giving praises to his son.
Amanda and Kris with the fanny pack, and they weren't shouting or stressing out with each other. Love them and their attitude!
Margie and Luke still beat everyone despite with the weird detour choice. Seriously i would have done vampire.. it seems interesting at least. What i hoped was producer have something like a "jack in the box" idea, put a fake vampire doll in there which will spring up and scare the teams when they open a casket. Would have been hilarious to see the 2 all-female teams who did that freakout and shriek like mad. :funny:
Yay for good job done for Jaime and Cara and Christie and Jodi! And i have to mention.. after 3 legs.. Kisha and Jen are the only all-female team to finish in the top pack! Great job girls! And if all the 3 all-female teams survived next leg, we will finally have a confirmed all-female team in the final 5 (at least) since the new format of the race (TAR12).. alright, i know about the spoilers with Cara and Jaime.. but.. let's hope all of them miraculously make the final 5 OR better, final 3.. :funny:
No comments about Mark and Michael, good team, worked well.. but not rooting for them.
Love Tammy and Victor despite for their mistake. I liked how they fell from first to eighth, more variety and surprise factor for the viewers. I think they're going to like it this week! And anyone noticed the extremely long "last week on the amazing race" introduction? I think they knew not many watched last week episode, so they had a long introduction to let people know what went on last week.
Brad and Victoria were really a good team, but it sucks that they went out this way.. :(
Great episode!! :hearts:
-
The Vila Panoramic (http://www.panoramic.ro/poze_en.html). There's a photo in the gallery that sort of resembles Luke's conf.

While it is of course true that teams near the end have more stress then teams at the front. Personally its one of the reasons I like certain teams. Teams that keep their cool and don't play the blame game and don't fight with each other when things get tough are usually teams I like.
It's one of the reasons I liked teams like Eric & Jeremy (when they fell to the back, oh in one episode we didn't see them fight), Tyler & James (didn't fight until the plane issue in the final leg, even though in three episodes they were very close to elimination), Kris & Jon (who always treated each other well) for example (there are others).

Thats it Slowhatch! I'll get some pictures up in the EP3 thread in awhile.. I'm still really sad here :'(
-
I think Brad & Victoria are the only middle aged team or older that I not only liked (I have liked several Dave & Margaretta, Don & Mary Jean, and Gretchen & Meredith) but honestly seemed physically able to fully compete (not just survive off of the errors of other teams).
Damn it.

how awesome Margie and Victoria looked in the leotards
Schipol's dirty little secret is FOG, i found out the hard way one year after a transatlantic flight with a 2 yr old and a 3 month old and no sleep, We were stuck there half a day - not fun :'(
What was up with Victor OMG even when Tammy was explaining that the marker would be red and yellow and it wouldn't be both directions! granted its red and white in Vietnam but they were in Romania!
And my son (age 2) started copying luke when he was signing - it was very cute
loved that Mel and Mark finished 1st even with a groin injury
-
Seeing Tammy struggle with Victor is a bit painful for me because my sister and I are like that as well. She's Type A. I can be Type A. She's stubborn when she feels she's right. I'm stubborn when I feel I'm right.
Watching Tammy get frustrated like that is the same way I get when my sister goes off and doesn't want to listen. But I'm sure she feels the same way when I get that way with her. But at least when I get that way, I'll stop and rethink what I'm doing. I'm more open to listening to her opinion, but then again, she's not willing to listen to me. We're funny that way.
I'm not that way with my other sister though. Strange. We listen to each other and communicate better. Just the dynamic, I guess. And they were born on the same day so go figure. :lol:

I agree, the ladies looked incredible in those uni's. Was hoping to see Brad in spandex, DARN :lol: :-[
Congrats to all the teams that moved up :jam:
Brad & Victoria will be sorely missed but still, they never gave up and are damned good racers! They fought to the very end :jam:

I agree with you! It's just like how Ron and Chris stressed up badly when they were at the back and then they started patching up when they rocked. :funny:
-
This was decent episode. I wanted to punch Victor-what a stubborn fool.
-
I feel for Victor. I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing.
-
I feel for Victor. I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing.
Yes, and that sure looks like a marker too. :funny:
-
I'm with you Neobie, mistakes happen! Victor was truly sorry! Lesson learned! They are still in the race thats all that really matters. Chance of a life time ...........
-
Ok, I do like Victor and Tammy. But seriously Victor that was a huge error. I am now very curious on who was lost longer Linda (and her 4 hours lost) or Tammy & Victor. Both are huge. I don't know of another time racers have been strictly on their feet and been that lost.
-
ANd unlike Linda, this is when he has a partner that almost from the very first step is telling him this is wrong. Now teams do get lost on tasks and while driving.
But I seriously can't think of another time one team member was so set in his (or her) ways that they over road the other persons point taking a team, far, far off the path.
I can't wait to see the check in times.
-
Yet another fine episode, though a bit anticlimatic once the ousted team missed their flight. I'm amazed by the level of competitiveness shown by the teams. And I'm also amazed by the shuffling in the ranks throughout the leg! My thoughts on the teams this week:
Mel & Mike: First place, and well earned! I do like this team, and I do like that they're still thriving in spite of Mel's groin injury. They raced well and smart and deserve to still be in it!
Amanda & Kris: I don't know. I like them okay, but at the same time, they bore me something fierce. It seems that most of the things they say always has to have "babe" at the beginning or end of it. Plus, I feel like I barely know a thing about them, and it's already episode three!
Kisha & Jen: Nice to see them getting along a lot better, and great to see them make a huge jump from seventh to third! I'm liking what I see of them so much more, and I'm loving their abilities in the tasks.
Margie & Luke: They're still in my heart, and I'm still finding myself enjoying them a lot, but the editors need to stop pushing the angle of Luke's deafness. I'm not blaming Margie or Luke for this, but I could get annoyed with them very quickly, anyway. I do love their bond with Jaime & Cara, though.
Mark & Michael: Made a nice rebound after their flight error last week. Despite their small sizes, they show no fear or caution in anything they do, and can even outrun taller people, as shown by their footrace with Christie & Jodi. Good job to see them both still in it.
Christie & Jodi: The flight attendants made a nice jump up in the ranks after their close shave last week. I'm glad they weren't anywhere near last this week. They did well on their tasks and richly deserved to survive.
Jaime & Cara: Ouch. An incompetent cab driver was not what the cheerleaders needed tonight. They probably could've scored a slightly higher placement without that happening to them (like at least finishing in front of Mark & Michael), based on their speed in finishing the Detour (although that coffin did look like a bitch to drag). They're still my favorite team, though, and their bond with Margie & Luke certainly does help them.
Tammy & Victor: So the siblings were hit by hubris. Mainly, Victor's. They faltered at the Roadblock, got lost at the Detour, broke down when they messed up badly (well . . . Victor did), and only escaped elimination because one team had so much bad luck. I'm still loving Tammy, but Victor's officially starting to annoy me.
Brad & Victoria: Aw. These two definitely were the new Bob & Joyce -- they were an older couple who did well early on and then got screwed over by a bad flight. Unlike Bob & Joyce, however, Brad & Victoria did take an ill-advised risk on a flight with a tight connection and missed it only because their first flight got delayed. So while they kind of didn't deserve it due to that bad luck, they also kind of did for making that bad luck. Sorry, guys. But I hope you at least have fun with Preston & Jennifer and Steve & Linda in Thailand!
The tasks were interesting, although the Roadblock was a bit of a yawner. I'd have easily had my partner do it. For the Detour, I'd have done Vampire Remains, as it looked easier on paper. But Gypsy Moves turned out to be faster in practice, so it probably would've been better to do that one.
And after three episodes:
LOVE: Mel/Mike, Kisha/Jen, Margie/Luke, Mark/Michael, Christie/Jodi, Jaime/Cara, Tammy
LIKE: Amanda/Kris, Victor
NEUTRAL: No one
DISLIKE: No one
HATE: No one
Still good casting! Still don't hate anyone, at least no one left!
Can't wait to see Siberia next week!
-
Yeah, while I hate to see Brad & Victoria go, this was something they had a huge amount of control over. They were warned that it was a tight connection, and warned that their flight was late. And they still took it.
Unless the other flight was full (which I doubt) then they had ever opportunity to take the flight that had 4 other teams on it.
It was a huge, huge mistake. One that they took.
Now compare that to Tammy & Victor's flight. They had no idea that their flight would have to turn around, that was bad luck and something they had no pre knowledge of.
So yeah, Brad & Victoria as much as I really liked you, you dug your own grave.

No "special thanks" in the credits this week, but there was a mention of Bow and Axe (http://www.kftv.com/company-16299.html), a Warsaw production company.

OMG a panflute greeter!!! :hearts:
I've played that instrument since I was a little girl (that makes it 15+ years) and Georghe Zampfir, the Romanian panflute god was undeniably my idol. Now that makes me wonder why I was surprised to see such a greeter in the first place....
-
This episode was great, I thought, except the new preview style bothered me a bit. No mention of Steve & Linda? But either way, I thought the whole "NOW TONIGHT: Tammy & Victor etc." was kind of interesting.
Hey, speaking of Tammy & Victor, were they supposed to have a 'mat meltdown'? That didn't look quite like a meltdown, but I was happy that Victor realized he was acting ridiculous towards Tammy. I'm not sure, this season has been full of surprises, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had a rebound and came in 1st again next week.
And, also, speaking of first place, way to go Mel & Mike! Had I not looked at spoilers (or Joab's game) I never would've seen it coming!
And neither Brad & Victoria's elimination, either. I still thought for sure it would be Christie & Jodi. Eh. Congratulations to the flight attendants for not coming in second-to-last and starting a new round of Dandrew-style jokes. As for Brad & Victoria... :'(
Romania was interesting, and the tasks were as well. I felt sorry for the poor girl gymnasts, getting up at around midnight for that. :P Otherwise, Brasov/Bran was pretty cool, too.
An interesting episode overall, and I thought it was better than last weeks, even though elimination was pretty much inevitable once B&V missed their flight.
-
Brad and Victoria are gone! :crybabe:
Peach, they were a favorite team of mine based on their excellent performance the first 2 legs and their attitude. However, you have to admit that they took unnecessary risks in an effort to get ever-so-slightly(15 minutes) ahead. Call it the Uchenna/Joyce syndrome. Trying to make close connections in busy major European airports is never a good thing (also true here in the U.S.). This almost happened to me with a 2 hour gate hold delay coming back from Bucharest to Warsaw. We had 10 minutes to connect and there were multiple security checkpoints and way more than 1/2 mile of running(I can't really, but I had no choice here). Only having an escort from the arriving plane to the departing plane who got us instant priorty at the checkpoints made this possible.
My conclusion is that Brad/Victoria got greedy! Just as it was for Uchanna/Joyce in Frankfurt it did not take much in the way of problems to blow down their house of cards.
-
I feel for Victor. I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing.
Yes, and that sure looks like a marker too. :funny:
Pretty ironic that there were those tree markings anyway. They were not quite right, but right enough to confuse. I wonder where they really led to? You would figure that after a few hours of hiking you'd think 'I'm sure they wouldn't have put the detour this far away'...
-
And i think Tammy and Victor really seriously got lucky here. They would have been eliminated had it not been Brad and Victoria's flight. Would have been a Azaria and Hendekea shocker!!
I completely agree, from the start Tammy & Victor reminded me of Azaria and Hendekea.
It'll be ineteresting to see how far T&V make it (we know they go quite a bit farther) because they 'owe' it to Brad & Victoria... well, not really owe it, but really they would easily have been eliminated had it not been for B&V missing their flight. Always interesting how every little choice one makes alters the whole game.

On a side note:
I live in Portland, Oregon and during one of the commercial breaks for this episode I saw Phil's face but it looked like an infomercial. Turns out it was an ad for Phil's program "NOW: No Opportunity Wasted" and led you to the website www.ditchtheexcuses.com
Apparently there are two Ditch the Excuses workshops in Portland this weekend. I was excited until I saw the small print "Phil Keoghan will not appear at the event".
Booooooo!

Mel and Mike - Great job done! I was very happy to see them clinch first place. They work really well together and I'm liking them quite a lot now, I hope they stick around. And I just love it that for these three episodes, we've had three different teams coming in first! That is why I just LOVE TAR 14!
Amanda and Kris - Well thankfully the loss of their fanny pack did not jeopardise their chances. They could have been first, but at least they weren't eliminated, and second place is awesome. I just love how they're so nice to each other, no argument even with the misplacement of their fanny pack. And thank God they found it. =)
Kisha and Jen - Nicely done! Other than their bickerings, I think they're a pretty nice team. But seeing that this season's teams are so likeable, they're one of the two teams I kinda don't mind seeing eliminated soon hee... But still, great job this episode, they soared ahead from nowhere!
Margie and Luke - Still working fantastic together, I simply love this team. Margie was awesome at the Roadblock! They're indeed a strong team, having stayed so consistent since the first episode. Margie and Luke for another win!
Mark and Michael - I wish they'd lost to Christie and Jodie in the footrace but well... This is another team I wouldn't mind seeing eliminated soon. They're alright, but yeah, the team I like the least out of the eight teams remaining.
Christie and Jodie - Yay, they're finally not second to last! I still feel amused sometimes when I see them dragging their suitcases everywhere. Doesn't that slow them down? It's amusing to watch though, and I still love this team. =)
Cara and Jaime - Bad luck with the cab there, but I like how they're still nice to each other and the other teams. I'm hoping they'll get out of the "backpacker zone" soon. Win a leg or something!
Tammy and Victor - I must say, this must be a shocking moment, them getting eighth place. A strong, competitive team, coming in second and first for the first two legs, falling to eighth place! They're indeed lucky that Brad and Victoria missed their flight, otherwise they'd have been toast. Still love this team, I love how Victor admited his mistakes and actually cried cos he felt bad. I believe that after this race, they'll love each other even more deeply. They remind me of Ronald and Christina totally, and I'd love for them to go far!
Brad and Victoria - The team I liked the least out of the nine teams, so I was happy that they were eliminated. I admire their perserverance though!
LOVE TAR 14!!!!!!!!

Phil: This is Salzburg, Austria, birthplace of Mozart. Scholss Helbrunn, palace, was the 2nd pitstop in a Race around the world.
Tammy/Vic, CLUE, 10:13 am. Make your way to Bucharest, Romania.
Phil: Travel to Munich, land in Bucharest. Take a taxi to the place where Nadia Comaneci trained for gymnastics.
Vic is barking at her already, with a multi-hour lead. WTF!?
Describing flight times, travel agency woman: It's half past three. Then quarter to five ...
They'll train to Munich.
Mel/Mike, 12:01 pm.
(1 hour 48 minute lead for T/V)
Amanda/Kris, 12:12
Margie/Luke, 12:30. Luke signs something about wanting to be able to communicate with the other teams and know what they're talking about.
Mom thought Bucharest was Hungary. Kellie Pickler much?
Tammy/Vic, airport in Munchen get the 3:20 flight.
Brad/Victoria, CLUE, 12:53 pm.
Brad was a drug addict and alcoholic. Now he's just a R O B O T
Jaime/Cara, 1:17 or summat.
Mel/Mike get on a train. As do Margie/Luke, Brad/Victoria
Amanda/Kris find a nice man on the train to help them get 4:45 flight reservations, but what a tight connection - 20 minutes from the train station to the gate. Ummm ... I thought you needed 30 minutes for int'l flights??
Flight departure times compared to airport arrival can vary a great deal from airport to airport. 30 minutes is the minimum I have ever seen. Much of the time the airline personnel at checkin prevent you from proceeding by not giving you the necessary papers if you are less than the minimum, but sometimes asking very nicely or sometimes very assertively can get them to let you try. There are numerous examples from earlier Amazing Races.

Hey, speaking of Tammy & Victor, were they supposed to have a 'mat meltdown'?
Check their mat chat in the Insider footage. He's sobbing quite a bit in it.

I didn't like this episode very much. The editing is starting to bother me with it's extremely high amount of footage for Margie & Luke, Tammy & Victor, and Mel & Mike. Tone it down, CBS editors! We've got Christie & Jodi, Mark & Michael, Amanda & Kris, and Jaime & Cara as practically INVISABLE teams! I was also very annoyed by the freaky "previously" segment that only featured the teams that are already overfeatured. I really want more of these invisible teams now, before it's too late! (:;) :knuckles:
Okay, now to the teams:
Mel & Mike: Very interesting to see them come in first, but I wanted Amanda & Kris to. It's really unusual for a team like this to be doing so well, and I kind of enjoy seeing the weak beat the strong. But the team I like more is...
Amanda & Kris: They are impressing me with how well they are getting along. I was hoping when they finished just about everything in first that they would win the leg. Oh well. Second is amazing too, I guess. I'm just glad Tammy & Victor weren't up here!
LaKisha & Jennifer: They got along better this time, but to me they just feel sort of empty. Like they don't have any real story to them. I want more footage of them so I can get to know them better.
Margie & Luke: We still got too much of them this time, but thankfully not as much as the first and second episodes. The Tammy & Victor fiasco prevented that, which was both good and bad. I like them, but I want to see the other teams, too.
Mark & Michael: Practically none of them this week. They were just sort of there, but I was surprised when they came up and passed Christie & Jodi. I don't know why.
Christie & Jodi: I didn't see much of them this week, either (sound like a broken record, yet?). Not much else to say but I'm happy they are in a different (and better) placing now. I still don't know whether I like them or not. Not enough footage to decide.
Jaime & Cara: Ditto the above, though they got more footage this time. They seem very competitive, and that makes me happy!
Tammy & Victor: I couldn't believe how awfully they did this time! It was amazing, because I find them annoying. I just kind of wish they had gone home instead of Brad & Victoria. This was one of the rare instances where it seemed like one team member was actually trying to sabotage their teams' chances. It reminded me of Rob & Amber when they were eliminated in All-Stars...like they were trying to get eliminated. Call me weird for saying that, but that's what it looked like, and I was surprised to see that from them.
Brad & Victoria: They were truly amazing racers who actually had a great chance of winning, and being one of my favorites, I was very unhappy to see them go, but it was a foregone conclusion 15 minutes into the episode. It made me leave the episode with a really bad taste in my mouth (especially after the bad editing), because we didn't get enough footage of them, either. At the mat, the second-to-last place team got more airtime than they did. It shouldn't ever be like that.
So yeah, overall, the tasks were excellent and would-be entertaining for me, but the terrible editing imbalance prevented me from enjoying this episode. Hoping for better next week. :jam:

Hooky:
You do understand that this race was completed on Nov.22 and the editing was completed before the beginning of the telecasts of AR14. Wishing that the coverage of specific teams were different is fruitless.

Also, at least The Amazing Race is still here! We were starting to think that there wouldn't be a TAR 14! I like this season a lot more then the past two seasons!
I also wonder where those red and white marks led to.
Perhaps it leads to vampires!

I know exactly what Hooky means though. It is very frustrating as a viewer to want to get to know all of the teams better, and to be given so little on some.
And yes, that was interesting to see what T/V were struggling with, but it also would have been interesting to see what B/V were struggling with, and more about the decisions they were making.
And Mark and Michael have truly been invisible almost, until this episode, and they are a dynamite team that I would like to see more from.
I'm sure it is frustrating for the editors as well, to have hours of fabulous footage and not enough time to show it all.
What do you all think about the "freaky" intro that leaves out Steve and Linda?
-
Here's what I think about the teams so far:
Mel & Mike: Nice job. You did a fine job with the Roadblock and the Detour -- even if the Detour was a hard task for you. You would've come in second if Amanda & Kris hadn't misplaced their fanny pack, however.
Amanda & Kris: You really rocked for most of the leg! Unfortunately, you really shouldn't have misplaced your fanny pack! Lucky for you that you didn't lose it altogether.
LaKisha & Jen -- wow! You were the highest all-female team this leg! Didn't expect it from you. And at least you did better as a team this leg!
Margie & Luke -- not bad, guys. Not bad.
Mark & Michael -- good job with the Roadblock and Detour. Nice recovery from your mistake last leg. And you had enough leg strength to beat Christie & Jodi.
Christie & Jodi -- for once, you weren't in the next-to-last spot! Great job!
Cara & Jamie -- ouch! The Curse of the Bad Taxi Cab Driver hit you this leg! Not what you needed. But at least you managed to avoid coming in last.
Tammy & Victor -- sigh. This was just a terrible leg for you. I think the stress of falling from the front of the pack to the back of it caused things to go from bad to worse from you. At least you're still in the Race.
Brad & Victoria -- maybe in retrospect, you should've gotten on the same flight as the later teams did. If you had, Tammy & Victor might well be gone. But you didn't, and you paid for it.

-
What's interesting is seeing how Margie and Luke fared in comparison to Cara & Jamie. With those two teams traveling together in the final aspect of the leg. 4th and 7th.
What was also nice was seeing Luke and Margie keeping their word in telling Cara & Jamie if they found the path.
-
Cara and Jaime have proven themselves good people to Margie & Luke and you have to imagine in their lifetime they have been confronted with some bad hearted people...
<3 Cara signing to Luke <3
Any freeze frames or photos of Cara in the leotard? She really pulled it off well! :-[

Cara is beautful ....

Thanks Puddin :-[ She really is beautiful and seems so sweet.
