Title: EP 10 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Post by: georgiapeach on November 28, 2010, 04:44:40 PM
Even though we are a spoiler board, we do NOT want to have the episode spoiled while it is airing.

If you are watching anything but an EST US feed, it is your responsibility to be sure you are not ahead of us if you want to post in this thread. Canadian and Asian satellite feeds are often way ahead of us.

 SO PLEASE ** NO WIKI UPDATES or Satellite Viewer updates** to be posted before the show is done airing East Coast time! Anyone breaking the rule is at risk of being banned. 

Otherwise, come watch with us for the best weekly viewing party in town!! :party:

I hope to have a live steam or at least links  posted  HERE  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23401.new.html#new). For those who are not on the East Coast time, you can follow along and PLEASE help update as the show unfolds! Everyone is more than welcomed to join in the fun!! :wohoo:

Depends where you are.  I'm in an area getting the late Kansas City-Seattle game, so we're probably looking at a 15-30 minute overrun for those getting that game.

Well, that's not me!  I'm currently in the Tampa area on a vacation (and will be heading to Walt Disney World from there), and they had just a 1 pm game on CBS!  For once, I don't have to worry about the Race running late!

N&V:  FLy to Hong Kong  "Thank God", Nick. 

Nat & Kat, Kat's been to Hong Kong.

B&K:  Get to see Thomas.  BRook & Claire are the only team to survive a U-Turn.  Obviously they haven't really watched season 12, with Nicholas & Donald having no problem with someone using a U-turn on them...,.

B&C blame Thomas but not Jill,  THomas and Jill go up to the girls, so not to be asses.

All teams are traveling through singapore to Hong Kong.  Again I don't see anything.

And Peach is right,  its asthema.  Or however you spell it.

Jill & thomas feel that everyone is going to catch up at the last minute.

Boat is leaving, and I have no idea who is on it, its a half hour later is all I hear.  Sounds like Nick & Vicki are the only teams who missed.  I am sorry.  I am sick of you being sorry.
Title: Re: EP 10 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Post by: mswood on November 28, 2010, 07:15:08 PM
I have to admit, it really does suck to lose your lead when waiting for transport, especially transport that leaves often so you just start to feel you have the chance to stay out ahead when everyone starts catching up.

I can only imagine how many racers have felt this over the seasons.
Title: Re: EP 10 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Post by: Belle Book on November 28, 2010, 07:15:22 PM
Nat & Kat caught up, and so did Brook & Claire!

Nick & Vicki missed the first ferry thanks to Vicki's asthma flaring up at the wrong time.

Brook is all over Claire again...Hell why is it that THomas is nicer then Brook is.

More sucking from Nick as their ferry finally leaves.

Jill & Thomas get to next clue, teams must now travel on another Ferry go to Restaurant.  Brook & Claire is next.  More pushing from Brook, more let me do what I can.

Lets not Talk.

Seriously how hard is it for Brook to have any sympathy for her partner. Even driven people like Colin had sympathy for Christie puking, and Kendra was so supportive about Freddy puking.

Oh and we are back, and here we finally get Brook being nice.  Thanks.  I was going to get pissed.

Claire gets through the RB.

Jill & Thomas team number 2 (and boy to lose primarily to waiting for transport at three different parts of the leg, has to suck, I know I would be burned about that aspect).

Vicki is having a lot of problems and sounds like vomit number 2.

Nick offers for them to take a penalty instead of Vicki throwing up all night, it thinks thats stupid (and in all honesty I really hate food challenges when it causes people to actually get ill).
Title: Re: EP 10 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Post by: mswood on November 28, 2010, 07:46:13 PM
Clearly with the odds being a non elimination its smart to take a penalty as opposed to getting so ill that it stays with you.

THough of course Nick might just be hoping that its an elimination leg as well, who knows.

Nick wants to quit, Vicki is tired but doesn't want to quit.  Nick is pretty certain that they quitting.  Talks about a 6 hour penalty.  No sleep in two days, no food today, not worth it.

Nick is sleeping, Vicki is still looking and pissed at Nick.

I'm not surprised Nick & Vicki quit -- I predicted it.  I am surprised they quit over the Detour and that the penalty was 6 hours!  I thought it was 24 hours!

Then again, maybe it's just as well for Nick & Vicki.  Imagine how hard it would be to recover from a 24 hour penalty!  A 6-hour one isn't impossible to recover from -- it's just almost impossible.

While I don't think Nick wanting to quit is disgusting, as many racers over the years have reached a plateau where they couldn't go any further, I was more upset about his talking to her at the start of the leg then any behavior later.

Hell we have had a bunch of racers quit before even trying tasks, let alone after being this far back on a leg, where you know the chances are you aren't going to be the team that wins.

What I think made this quitting so pathetic was Nick refusing to give a damn and even acknowledge Vicki's tremendous and valiant effort and guts at the roadblock. Your girlfriend just fought her heart out at a task and you can't even be bothered to look around for a number on a boat? That's pretty pathetic.  (:;)

ANd while I have mentioned that I feel bad for Jill & Thomas this leg, as they did actually run the better leg, I have no problem at all with them not winning the leg as it is part of the race.  I just get a little bummed (pretty much no matter who it is) to see a lot of points of equalization, where you lose any time you have gained.  Luckily the race isn't nearly as bad as it used to be in this regard.

Nick's worse than Flo from Season 3!  At least although Flo often quit or nearly-quit, at least she never took a penalty!

Well it really depends, did they spend much time looking?  Did Nick just say screw it I am going to sleep, or was he serious when he said he just couldn't do this anymore and was getting ready to pass out?  As different people have different thresholds of endurance (and yes women can have greater endurance then men), it really depends if he was literally dead tired where he couldn't look anymore.  It did sound like both of them were easily tired enough where they probably couldn't even focus to see.  I know I did this while driving from Wyoming to Alaska with my brother after not eating for a day, and not sleeping much for two days, I literally fell asleep on the wheel nearly killing both of us.

And you must also realize that Vicki for being sick and hating the roadblock also got energy in the form of the food she was able to eat.  Thus she should have more energy at this point if they were both running on empty (even though she should also feel like crap).

Really it all depends on it Nick just wanted to quit and out of stubbornness wouldn't do anything else, or if he was truly exhausted.

Again I will really need to see this episode before I can state one way or the other I feel is more likely.

Vicki had the title after completing Roadblock.

Thanks.  Anyway, I think we have our final 3 teams set.

Nick's worse than Flo from Season 3!  At least although Flo often quit or nearly-quit, at least she never took a penalty!

Belle Book

Sorry not even close.  You have to remember that back in season 3 one racer could do all the tasks.  Even the one detour where they each had to do their own boat, she had Zach come and pull her, and Zach had to get locals to do the other part of it for him (they honestly thought this would get them a penalty as it was against instructions, I don't know why they didn't get a penalty).  And she didn't do this for one leg, or two, or three, she did from Europe through to Asia.  And again thinks to the rules she really didn't have to do much at all.  Well flirting with Drew does that count.

I'd probably go with the fact that since the leg started in midday maybe (as in when they got to Hong Kong) and then carrying out to 4 am (as stated by Nick) that it was pure exhaustion.
While I don't think Nick wanting to quit is disgusting, as many racers over the years have reached a plateau where they couldn't go any further, I was more upset about his talking to her at the start of the leg then any behavior later.

Hell we have had a bunch of racers quit before even trying tasks, let alone after being this far back on a leg, where you know the chances are you aren't going to be the team that wins.

I think Vicki is doing really well. But I hate to dog on a racer for "possible" reaching their end, especially when we have seen that Nick has been doing his share in fact more of, so far (even look at the detours and see who's had the heavier load during those tasks) and that left Vicki a task she had great difficulty with.  Certainly he has a temper and he has certainly been an ass to Vicki at times, but it isn't like he hasn't been racing through the season.  We have had other racers who literally have had their partner do almost everything for them before giving up, that wasn't the case with Nick.

Obviously part of the issue is how he has treated Vicki in some of the legs (including this one) and the fact that he's a man and she's a women.  

But those two issues aren't necessarily connected to the issue of him quitting and it being a terrible thing.

However, since Vicki said she had to do the Roadblock, I'm guessing the RB limit is back on 6.

Penalty for quitting Detour not RB...

Post by: theschnauzers on November 28, 2010, 08:44:45 PM
Clearly, the big news out of this leg is the change in the penalty for quitting a detour. It had been 24 hours (that was the case a couple of seasons back when Maria and Tiffany quit the detour in the Netherlands in TAR 15. But it's apparently now 6 hours -- but the detour choices are becoming even more difficult.
And the fact that Vicki did the roadblock seems to confirm that Nick has reached the maximum he's permitted to do, as I suggested after last week's episode.
And the placement average for the top 3 teams continue to be as close as you can get without having ties. (0.2 placements between the top three teams.  Nick and Vicki are now averaging 5.4000 and there are only four teams left!)

True Peach.....but I think  Danooky was talking about the roadblock limit a team member can do.....Nick has done 6 RBs so far and thats why Vicki said she had to do the Roadblock.

I now wonder if TPTB changed the penalty starting this season to six hours for quitting a detour after that U-turn that eliminated Joe and Heidi last season in France with a task that they couldn't complete (the Morse Code one).

I dont recollect there being any time penalty mentioned in that episode from TAR 15...having said that.....I dont remember any time being mentioned. I do remember the 24 hour penalty in Season 1....and thought at the time it was way to much for taking a taxi and not the car/bus deal in the detour. As far as I remember, The Poker girls were last and quit the race.....not took the time penalty......They were last and it really didnt matter if it was 6 hours or 24 hours,......it was an elimination leg and they were toast either way, but I am sure going back to watch it again.

We probably need the Peach lady to make some discreet inquires of her numerable contacts and find out just when teams go the change in the pre race briefing.....lol

EXACTLY. Nick and Vicki is like Adam and Rebecca V2.0.. Rebecca and Vicki OWNED their partners on the race. WTH, you complain about Vicki not being able to run because SHE CANNOT BREATH. But then you quit on the Detour?!

This leg was really boring, with the exception of the fight for first place, the rest of the episode was kinda boring (in terms of teams progression) To be fair, the ROADBLOCK was really creative! This is one RB that i'll remember in TAR's history! Whoever thought of this RB should be given credits!

And to be fair once again, the Detour, the Billboards one.. was really creative! One who has been to HK.. will know how many thousand billboards are on the streets.. to find 3 which says PITSTOP STATUE SQUARE = KILLER.

And the boats detour was really creative as well.

I'm just glad that based on who we know are the final 3.. these three teams are indeed the top 3 most deserving team to make it to the end.

And Nat and Kat won 4 legs already. They beat the Dustin and Kandice record already. :lol:

Yay for Nat and Kat claiming first place! I was so happy when Nat got the Roadblock first. But they were rather slow at the Detour weren't they. Jill and Thomas did the other one, switched, and over took them at the Detour. I thought that Jill and Thomas were gonna snag their fourth first-place finish, but it went to Nat and Kat! The fight for first place was a real exciting one, with Nat and Kat and Jill and Thomas swapping positions constantly at the end!

I just love Nat and Kat SO much. Seriously, have we ever seen them being even a little bit frustrated with each other, with the race, or with any other team? At least I haven't. They're so nice to each other and everyone, and they're so calm, cool and collected it's unbelievable. LOVE the doctors!!! :hearts:

I must say that Brook and Claire have started to show signs of struggles. They started off the race a force to be reckoned with. Along the way, they did okay and towards the end, they're kinda constantly at the back of the pack. They've been the most consistent team in the race I feel, with their worst position being 6th place. But at this point, I think Nat and Kat and Jill and Thomas are the real contenders for the million. I still love them though! They're always so energetic and crack me up all the time.

I loved the Roadblock! Not only was the task great, I loved the energy too. It was nice to see Kat, Jill and Brook enjoying themselves on stage! Not to mention Brook and her getting the audience to cheer for Claire. Lol.

I was seriously pissed with Nick this episode. I actually expected Vicki to quit the Roadblock, but no, it was Nick who let the team down. He's such a disappointment. All the while he was chiding Vicki for slowing him down, for doing the Roadblock so slowly... But in the end, he was the one who gave up on the Detour. And it sucked to see him lie there and sleep while Vicki was working so hard. It was a painful moment to watch, I felt so sad and indignant for Vicki.

Now, with Nick and Vicki so far behind, I feel that it's gonna make the race for Final 3 so boring. Even if we know the eventual result, I'd prefer some drama and not have one team totally out of the running. But well, I just love this season and it'll be just perfect if Nat and Kat win. Geez.

Nick really knew his time penalties.  At the Roadblock he quoted 4 hr; at the Detour 6 hr.  I wonder if production (camera person) staff keep a rule book handy.

During Nick/Vicki's Detour, it would have been prudent to rest until the sun rose and then search again.  I think they would have finished in less than 6 hr.  If it had been an elimination leg, maybe Phil would have come to them for the Philimination.

They were likely not expecting the NEL.  Hindsight is always 20/20.

I tried to listen over and over again but have no clue yet, their singing is awful...

For the detour, I really wonder if the time penalty has been changed because it seems like Nick/Vicki could not choose the other detour (Ding Ding) as they were so far behind and probably everything was closed at that time, but it would also be possible that the race rule just changed.

I am really surprised that not so many people taking pictures of teams at the Avenue of Stars, there are so many tourists every day!

As a local, I feel the tasks in this leg are quite interesting (especially the RB and the tram detour), but too many search tasks and not so much team interactions in this leg

Also their legs all had bunching points.  Before season 12, only one other leg of the race was linear without any points designed to have teams start on a more level footing.  Since season 12 they have had at least one leg each season with bunching, in fact one leg I think might have had three.  That really gives the first team a huge, huge advantage.
