Previously on The Amazing Race...

9 teams raced to the Shetland Islands. Scott started the leg on the wrong foot. Misti & Jim met their match with their pony while Brooke & Robbie got hammered. As Scott struggled to overcome his injury, Tim & Te Jay couldn't get their sheep together.

In the end, Misti & Jim won their 2nd leg and the firefighters were eliminated.

8 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Post by: Polaroid on October 17, 2014, 07:07:31 PM
Teams getting up from their tents where they camped overnight.

Misti & Jim depart 1st at 10:36 AM. Travel to Copenhagen, Denmark. Teams will take a ferry back to Aberdeen and then fly to Copenhagen. They will find their next clue on a Ford car. Next ferry leaves at 5:30 AM. There's no travel agent so they searched online.

Adam & Bethany depart 2nd at 11:45 AM. Keith & Whitney depart at some time... lol.

Misti & Jim find a flight that arrives at 4:00 PM. Keith & Whitney and Adam & Bethany both getting tickets for ferry. Both teams saying they'll look for tickets at the travel agency.

A bunch of other teams . Brooke said "handy man spot." Robbie said "handycap spot."

Survivor and Surfers telling other teams that they're getting tickets from the travel agency. Now basically everyone is doing that.

Wow. Kym & Ali got a huge lead
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 4 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on October 17, 2014, 07:10:45 PM
Teams going to the airport or travel agency. At the travel agency: Kym & Alli get tickets that arrive at 2:00 PM. Tim & Te Jay arrive at 5:15 PM. Brooke & Robbie arrive at 5:10 PM. SO MANY FLIGHTS.

Other teams at a travel agency. Shelley & Nici 5:10 PM?. Amy & Maya 5:10 PM. Amy & Bethany 5:10 PM. Tim & Te Jay's flight got delayed to 5:35 PM. Shelley & Nici's flight got delayed to 6:20 PM.

SO MANY FLIGHTS AAAAH.

Cyclists have a huge lead over the other teams. Phil doing a live stand-up. Drive from Denmark to Sweden using 1/10th of a gallon of gas and they'll be rewarded with their next clue. If you don't make it, then you have to answer a local geography student's question. Cyclists caring about the environment <3333333

So Sweden and back? ok XD
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 4 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on October 17, 2014, 07:14:31 PM
Cyclists made it! They get their detour clue.

Parking Space: Repurpose a spot known as a parklet. Teams will choose between 2 parklet themes: garden or living room. Then they must set up before a 30 minute time limit. If the time is up, they will have to set up in a different spot.

Wedding Cake: Complete a traditional wedding cake at a bakery. Using a weird (:lol:) bike, they must deliver it to a restaurant where it will get signed in. Make your way back to the bakery where they will get their next clue.

Misti & Jim in 2nd. They're driving to Sweden.

Cyclists working on their cake.

Misti & Jim didn't make it. They were at 0.15 gal. Now they find the map. They have to name the capitals of the Scandanavian countries.

Wrestlers in 3rd, Surfers in 4th, Survivor in 5th, Scientists in 6th. All driving to Sweden.

Tim & Te Jay in 7th.

Post by: Polaroid on October 17, 2014, 07:18:35 PM
Misti & Jim got help with the geography question and now they're doing parking space.

Kym & Alli finish the cake and now they're transporting it. Their cake literally falls apart as they get on the bike, lol. They're just going to put it back together later.

Robbie: "So we're out of Denmark and in Sweden? Is that a different country?" Wrestlers are over. Survivor made it. They're in 3rd. They're doing wedding cake. Adam & Bethany - 0.21 gal. Scientists over as well.

Wrestlers and surfers worked together to answer the question. Scientists answered the question as well.

Shelley & Nici arguing about where the car is at the airport. They find it... Shelley said Nici owes her an apology. Nici said she was right. Shelly said that wasn't an apology.

Kym & Alli fixed their cake before delivering it. They deliver it but they can't find the reciept. The cake can't be accepted unless they have the receipt...

Commercial.

I'd do the parking space one too.  I'm not good with cycling.

I wonder if the Parking Space Detour will be as challenging as the RCMP Roadblock in TARCan1 Leg 5?
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 4 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on October 17, 2014, 07:23:41 PM
Back with Kym & Alli needing to find the receipt... They find it on the ground outside, omg. The lady signs the receipt. Now they're riding back. YAY. They're done the detour in 1st! The bakery guy let them take some baked goods! :hearts: Proceed to the Ida Davidsen Restaurant for the next clue.

Misti & Jim at the parking detour. They're going to do the garden setting.

Brooke & Robbie doing wedding cake. Adam & Bethany doing wedding cake. Keith & Whitney doing wedding cake.

Robbie: "Can I eat any of these?"
Bakery guy: "No." :lol:

Did Robbie say he can't ride a bike...? :lol:

Amy & Maya doing parking. They say luckily they're quite detail oriented.

Tim & Te Jay went over as well. They see the map. Te Jay gets it right away wow! Good for him. They pick parking.

Shelley & Nici under so they get their clue. They're doing parking as well.

Roadblock: Who has a memory for faces? WOW BEAUTIFUL SANDWICHES. There are ove 280 sandwiches on the menu. Waiters and take an order of sandwiches from 2 hungry customers. They must memorize the ingredients for 4 sandwiches and relay the information correctly to get their next clue.

"I'm about to be the worst waitress you've ever had." Kym got fired before lol. #128 and #35. Kym keeps repeating the numbers but she's not getting it right, LOL. This isn't even the hard part. Then she sees the list of ingredients... LOL. :lol:

Survivor, wrestlers and surfers all having trouble with the bike. Adam & Bethany's cake just tips over on the ground. Wrestlers are going SUPER slow. Cyclists are right behind the wrestlers who are going SUPER slowly, lol.
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 4 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on October 17, 2014, 07:31:09 PM
Survivor decide to switch detour.

Misti & Jim getting their parking space checked... It was incorrect. They have about 1 minute left... And their time is up. OMG THE ONY DIFFERENCE WAS 7 PETALS INSTEAD OF 8 PETALS. WOW. They have to move their stuff into a new parking space.

Oh I didn't know that teams had to go from Sweden back to Denmark lol. Tim & Te Jay driving back. Shelley & Nici driving back too. Tension between Shelley & Nici.

Kym correctly memorizes the sandwiches. They're done the RB in 1st! She gives Ida a bunch of kisses lol. She asks if they can eat the sandwiches too LOL.

Pit Stop: VM Houses.

Wrestlers transporting their cake... Brooke's arms are hurting.

Adam & Bethany at parking now. Survivor at parking now too.

Amy & Maya already doing the roadblock. Maya is doing it. Wrestlers arrive at the roadblock in 3rd. Robbie is doing the roadblock, lol. Wrestlers say they have nothing in their head because they get hit a lot there.

Tim & Te Jay arrive at parking they try to talk to Adam & Bethany but Bethany basically is just like SORRY SORRY SORRY WE'RE BUSY. :lol:

Shelley & Nici arrive at parking.

Misti & Jim arrive at the bakery.

Keith & Whitney arrive at the roadblock in 4th.

Robbie got 3/4 right... but his last one was wrong. Maya is talking out loud so Whitney's having trouble memorizing things. Maya goes to attempt but then she walks away before she even starts, lol.

Misti & Jim begin cycling.

Maya gets all 4 orders correct! YAY MAYA! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: OMG THE PERSON WHO ORDERED TOTALLY TRICKED MAYA INTO THINKING THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE ORDERED HAHAHA. Maya fell to the floor after she found out the person was lying! :funny:

Robbie is doing his last order. Keith is watching and he asks what Robbie's doing. It looks like Robbie's giving a performance. Robbie says that now Brooke's going to be a good baker and he's going to be a good waitress... But then he realizes he said waitress and he said he's not a waitress... He's a waiter. :funny:

Whitney out of the roadblock in 4th.

Adam realizes the flower petal pot. Adam & Bethany done in 5th. Tim & Te Jay see the flower petal pot too. They fix it and they're done in 6th.

Adam & Bethany driving. Shelley misses a road because Nici didn't tell her or something. More arguing. They switch drivers. They both can't afford to be lost right now...

Misti finishes the roadblock. Ida tells Misti it was her numbers that were wrong. Everyone clapping for her.

OMG MORE ARGUING BETWEEN SHELLEY & NICI. Shelley didn't tell Nici about seeing the pit stop because Nici was driving. They arrive at the pit stop. Nici trips over her bag. Omg. Shelley & Nici arguing on the mat. Oh lordy. Just a huge mess. Their confessional is just a huge disaster.

Adam & Bethany arrive in 7th.

Because technically they didn't actually use it. If you put US$1,000 on a table for me and I gave it back to you, it's still yours.

I'm sorry but I'm mad The Save didn't get burnt - yes it was an NEL but they get to keep it after racing horribly? Nuh-uh, at least if they played it, there would be no Speed Bump in the next leg or something

Lol, I know... but like MrDS said, they don't deserve it after running such a leg... At least make a twist like removing their Speed Bump should a case like this happen. Plus, I don't like them.

This GUARANTEES them another NEL before Leg 9. I reaaaally don't like it when teams get 2 NEL's.

Anyway, yay for Kym & Alli being the first F/F team to win since TAR 22's Pam & Winnie!

This was a great leg with four difficult tasks (Active Route Marker with the driving, Detours and the Roadblock), any one of which could scramble the teams, and taken together, they all got a serving of humble pie.
I'm surprised no one mentioned the Great Dane that wanted to make out with Phil. (Yes, those are Great Danes, the largest of all of the dog breeds) and I'm starting to think there may be a another possible finish line task with the dog breeds.)   :)

So NO speed bump for the dentist next leg?

Okay, my complete episode review...

Honestly, the tasks this season have been great! None of the tasks have been " :res: "-worthy, they've all been quite interesting and fun to watch.

The geography task was a nice touch. Reminded me of the Express Pass task in Leg 2. Wonder if this sort of thing is going to continue.

Phil on location with Kym & Alli ... awkward :lol: just like the past stand-in's

& Self-driving again  :hrt:

Onto the teams...
1. Kym & Alli - Finally a strong F/F team! First F/F team to win a leg since TAR 22's Pam & Winnie (although Caroline & Jennifer deserved at least one win last season :( ) But anyway, they're fun to watch.
2. Brooke & Robbie - HANDYMAN. That's all I have to say :funny: & Don't forget Robbie's performance at the Roadblock :lol: But such a nice change to see them in the top! Hopefully they can snatch a win soon. Just pick the right Detour and don't freak out when something goes wrong... and they could do extremely well.
3. Keith & Whitney - They've been doing pretty well these past 2 or 3 legs... don't really remember anything from them this leg  ???
4. Amy & Maya - Just like last leg, they finished all tasks in 2nd and fell to mid-pack? Except this week, nothing was shown about their fall. Probably navigational issues again. But Maya collapsing to the floor when she completed the Roadblock was hilarious.
5. Tim & Te Jay - I feel like we're not shown enough of them :( It's weird to know they were in 2nd in the first leg and now they're just slowly finishing in the back/mid-pack. But they did a great job recovering from their later flight.
6. Shelley & Nici -  :hearts: :hearts: :conf: @ them beating Misti & Jim!!!! But I hope they overcome their communication issues :( We still managed to get a scream this episode though :lol:
7. Adam & Bethany - Wow, I wasn't expecting them to fall this far behind. Bethany & her little moments are so funny. Adam is a smart guy and is doing a good job carrying the team.
8. Misti & Jim - I'm really angry/upset that they get to keep the Save. Okay... this might come from the fact that I don't like them, but like MrDS said, at least make the Save so that it could burn a Speed Bump should a team arrive in last on a NEL. This leg was basically what Dave & Rachel went through in Leg 3, only Misti & Jim actually came in last! :o That "Dominant" flashback to 36 hours ago made me :res:

So weird seeing the top 2 teams become the bottom 2 teams from one leg to the next. That doesn't happen very often...

Such great tasks, colorful teams... but there's one thing that keeps killing the episodes for me: the editing!!!  :gaah:  (:;) Idk if you guys got used to the random cuts to teams without Phil actually calling placements, but it really bothers me.

LOVE: Kym & Alli, Brooke & Robbie, Adam & Bethany

LEG 4 (Scotland, UK --> Denmark --> Sweden --> Denmark) EPISODE ANALYSIS
BETTER TITLE QUOTE: "She Still Owes Me an Apology" ~ Shelley
How do I start with tonight? Hallelujah for a Detour + Roadblock Leg this season, but the conclusion of the episode was simply... :res:. The eight remaining teams set off on the next step of the adventure flying to the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. While on Danish land (and touching Sweden lightly), we saw teams vying for fuel efficiency, eyes for detail, and emotional and egotistical meltdowns. While I thoroughly enjoyed the brief visit in Sweden and much of the main tasks, I was disappointed how low editing stooped tonight.

DETOUR: (Parking Lot Tailgate or Towering Wedding Cake)
In Parking Lot Tailgate, similarly to TAR18's final task, teams had to set up a roadside lounge using only a flyer to arrange the furniture. What lacked in originality made up for in modifications - a 30-minute allotted time and a seemingly tougher replication. Don't forget that Misti & Jim had to switch to the other option because of their lack of attention to detail. In Towering Wedding Cake, teams had to finish icing a Danish multi-layered cake and then deliver the bulky pastry by Bullitt bike along with a receipt to a restaurant. Again, this task was quite the challenge, sending Brooke (a pro wrestler) in pain holding together the heavy structure. With teams' towers toppling over by the slightest bumps, the task became the "filling of a strawberry danish" in this episode.
DETOUR SCORE: 10/10
 
ROADBLOCK: (Who is the sandwich king?")
A potentially "impossible" challenge to mix team placements a lot, the waiter concept of this Roadblock played it softer than I had anticipated. Though the teams advanced the task with their humor and miniscule errors, I only wish teams had to make the sandwiches then serve their respective clients strictly to enforce a more daunting experience. Other than that, I thought the Roadblock presented a decent source of laughter with a complementary side order of triumph.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 9.5/10

OTHER SCORES:
TEAM DEVELOPMENT: 8/10
TEAM DRAMA: 9/10
TEAM HUMOR: 9/10
EDITING: 5/10 (It went from bad to great to worse.)
SOUNDTRACK: 7/10 (Played at better times, but lacked suspense.)
PIT STOP CONFIGURATION: 0/10 (Horrible, horrible! I hate the new Pit Stop editing. It's like the PS isn't even an important race icon anymore. I can't even...)
REGARDING THE SAVE: -1/10 (I never want to see the Save ever again on TAR after this season. The rules of the Save cardboard are so vague yet powerful that it makes the Double Express Pass twist appear angelic. Believe me, I started doing a victory dance when I first heard the DEP were out of the picture this season. If the frickin' card is spent on a non-elimination Leg, it deserves to be spent and wasted, not returned back like a freebie! It's not a video game where you get a hundred chances to redeem yourself!)
NICI MELTDOWN: 9/10 (Immature reactions on Nici's behalf, but I feel it's what the episode needed.)
OVERALL: 6.5/10

It's a shame editing and Save exposure killed an overall 9/10 score because I loved the tasks and each team this episode. :(

Yay I actually got to watch the episode earlier than I usually did!!!

-This is a very great leg. You can really pick your pace with the detour, whether you want to go all physical or mental. The Roadblock was okay I guess.  I am surprised Bethany elected to not perform this one.

-So far this is what I have thought of every single team:

#TheSurfers : still very comepetent racers, not so much on a mental challenge I suppose. I want to see more of them though cause they've only had some very good supporting roles for a while now.

#TheCyclists : this leg they were so ahead. I honestly thought they already checked in before any other teams landed on Copenhagen. Such a strong a female-female team hope they keep it up

#SweetScientists : they picked the mental pattern of this leg and I was not surprised they were in 2nd prior to checking in at the pit-stop. I was so mad though they finished 4th probably getting lost before finding the pit-stop. We could have 2 female-female teams as top 2 this leg. Like the surfers I need to see more of them.

#CollegeSweethearts : Honestly I don't know. We never really get to see them at all in the last 4 episodes. They are the least exposed team so far.

#MotherDaugther : Like'em but to be quiet honest I don't think their whole schnenigan this leg was too necessary to be put on the episode. They clearly had something going on in each episode.

#TeamNashville : The team that I mostly want to see in the final 3. I was surprised they actually did very very well as the race progresses. They've got to win a leg. Hopefully this next one with the W-Turn!!!

#TheWrestlers : I call it from the beginning if one team is gonna entertain me this season it's them lol. They're the funny underdogs except when they are not the Underdog they become more entertaining and they don't like, rub it on your face, something you should have expected coming from this team

#TheDentists : they screwed up! And it's a friggin' NEL! Oh shoot me will ya! Jim seemed so vile and cocky this episode but I believe it was more of the editing worrks towards them. Guess the editors found their villains this season lol. Most likely getting U-turned next leg to make sure they were last again and the Safe was burnt.

Next in leg in Morroco oh yay! This is a new country for me. Did they go to Morroco before??? And these teams would be too moronic not to U-turn the dentist now since they will have a speedbump for the upcoming leg. But if it were me I would U-turn Adam and Bethany. A team with an Express Pass is always dangerous to have around because they can actually pick any moment to pull ahead.

The save is to be turned in to escape from elimination, a non-elimination is by definition not an elimination, therefore there was no need to hand in the save.

I don't see any problem with them keeping the Save. People just don't like The Dentists.
Even I don't really like their big ego last three legs, I think I see another side of them this leg. I think from the next leg, their attitude will be different. Let's see.

Post by: Jobby on October 18, 2014, 03:35:55 AM
I just wished that they took a lesson from Survivor and made the HII be played BEFORE the vote and NOT after a vote. So, it's like you arrive at the pit-stop (and Phil doesn't even tell you your ranking) and if you decide to use it, then you will be SAVED. If you don't use it, unless it's a NEL, then you will be eliminated.

It makes it fairer this way. If not it's just a free pass to keep one already strong team all the way till the end. Imagine all the teams like Debbie and Bianca, Allison and Donny etc who won the first leg could have helped themselves throughout the race with such a big reward. This pass is even better than the Double Your Money lame twist that Abbie and Ryan had. I bet they will take THE SAVE any day.

I happen to be one of the rare few who like Misti & Jim, but if a team like Adam & Bethany or Amy & Maya had the Save and had it returned to them, I still would have a negative reception towards the occurrence. I simply do not like the rules of the Save card.

The episode... :stare and the ending... :oh
~First of all, I like the places visited, and I am also glad Kym & Alli got a leg in their belts.
~I like the location, and the Scandinavian capitals additional task. :hrt:
~Too bad there's no more ARI. Luckily, the roadblock is back. :<3 :wohoo: :hearts: :conf: :hrt: :luvya: :) For me, it'd be better to have both a roadblock and an ARI in one leg, and don't forget the detour. :) I'm 90% sure producers are expecting us to complain more if they don't put a roadblock on the 4th leg. :lol:
~Both detour tasks are awesome. :hrt: I like seeing the dentists struggle there, because seeing a very strong team struggle is a major plot twist. :conf:
~The roadblock is cool. :hrt: I miss the roadblock, so I'm glad it's back.
~I wonder what's been happening to Amy & Maya. This is the 2nd time in a row they lost their 2nd place lead while going to the pit stop.
~I like the twists this episode. :hrt: Adam & Bethany are usually strong, and then they're at the back. Brooke & Robbie are usually falling behind and catching up, but they got a 2nd this time. :oh :conf: They might've struggled at the detour, especially Brooke, :funny: but they did well this leg.
~Lastly, Misti & Jim. I find Jim's face expression extremely intimidating and extremely funny at the same time. :funny: :funny: :funny: Seeing them win 2 legs and also finish in the top 2 in the first 3 legs made me think that they have both the brains and brawn to win the race, but this episode just wasn't their leg. They have the Save, but they get to keep it because they got extremely lucky by hitting the NEL. :stare They got very lucky with that. I can't believe they struggled both detour sides and the roadblock by the little details on the parking detour, the carelessness on the flag on the cake (probably it was just their bad luck on handling the cake), and the not-reading-the-clue mistake. It wasn't their day, especially for Jim. :funny: They were aiming for 1st after all, so even if they get a 7th, I don't think Jim's gonna be happy at all.
~Shelley making fun of Jim's disappointment: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny:
~One more thing: If this was like classic TAR (no EP, no Save, no whatever stuff like those) and if the NEL was in Leg 4 instead of Leg 3, Misti & Jim would take home the 9th place curse. :funny: We would have a better winner for that curse.
~Another one: If Misti & Jim had the EP instead of the Save, they'd EP the detour. I don't think they'll save up the EP especially since they, especially Jim, want a 1st and they are not the team who is fine with whatever placement as long as they are not eliminated.
~The W-turn! :hrt: Finally!!!
~I just remembered, I kept wishing for a NEL, and I think I got it this time. (Yay!) :lol: I just wished Misti & Jim actually burned their save. :funny: Too bad the NEL was taken by the most powerful team. :funny:

Overall: I'd give this episode another 10/10. :hrt: Amazing location, amazing detour, amazing roadblock, amazing (leg of the) race! :hearts:

Definitely the best Leg so far, BUT two major complaints that really dragged it down for me.

1. Phil, once again, not announcing all the teams placements, and NOW, not even saying their names when they get to the mat! Really annoying me!  :groan:

2. Misti & Jim getting to keep the Save!!! It's so much more overpowered than I first thought.  :groan:
Now they're basically guaranteed to race at least two more Legs.

As Jobby said, Phil should be asking them every leg whether they want to use it or not, BEFORE telling them their placement.  Whether it be a NEL or not, if they use it, it's gone, and if they don't they're either safe, or if last on an Elimination Leg, Eliminated. 
They could even have a twist where if the team with the Save is Eliminated without using it, then whoever wins that Leg gets it instead. (But this twist would only happen once, and not again if the second team gets eliminated before using it)

Apart from these, this was a great Leg.  TAR could finally be back on form.  :hoot:

This is my favorite leg at least since TAR22.

My TAR 6th sense was screaming NEL about ten minutes into the episode, so I knew everyone was going to be okay. Interesting to see M/J go from 1st to 2nd to 1st to last.

There's a TV Trope called Break the Haughty.  It occurs often in fiction when a character has an extremely high opinion of themselves and is too busy patting themselves on the back to see that disaster is headed their way and they get a major slice of humble pie -- right before our eyes.  This is pretty much what happened to Jim.  And I had a good time watching it!   :yess:

But at least Jim was humbled enough to recognize their weakness AND the fact that they immediately threw in THE SAVE at the pit-stop without much grumbling.. I still think they're a good team.

..Jim doesn't lose his temper on Misti when she falters. *cough Jon and Vic*

Now hoping that Jim and Misti's story can turn for the better and for editors to stop cutting parts where they were talking about their dominating performance from their previous interviews, just to steer viewers towards hating them.

I believe the fuzz is just because the dentists got lucky enough to screw up in a NEL (which has happened to a lot of teams in the past), so far the save has had no impact whatsoever in their race so I don't get why people are complaining. Would you be as mad at them if they didn't have the save?

1. Phil, once again, not announcing all the teams placements, and NOW, not even saying their names when they get to the mat! Really annoying me!  :groan:

...Apart from these, this was a great Leg.  TAR could finally be back on form.  :hoot:
Everyone has their own preferences, but I like that more time is devoted to showing the tasks, and less showing the arrival and conversations at the mat.

I want 90 minutes per episode next season! :hoot: I wanna see task performances, "full" pit stop scenes, drama and character development, and random shenanigans.
I think 90 minutes would be about right!
