Misti & Jim depart at 6:37 AM.

Teams must now make their way to Malta and upon arriving, they'll have to pick up a tray of drinks and deliver them up Swiss stairs to the knights of Malta!

They are ready for more wins.

Kym & Alli depart at 6:42 AM.

Amy & Maya depart at 7:10 AM.

They have no idea where Malta is :lol:

Amy's leg is painful apparently. Brooke & Robbie laugh at their jog.

Brooke & Robbie want to get rid of the Cyclists.

They make a deal with Misti/Jim to U-Turn the Cyclists. Everyone is against the Cyclists.

An alliance is born.

Robbie changes his name to "Sniper". :lol:

Brooke & Robbie finally find a taxi. Kym & Alli see a sign for tickets to blue grotto. They find necklaces. There are 3 7:30s and 3 7:45s. Tim & TeJay wanted their speedbump to be there. :lol:

Amy & Maya cleaning up the dropped glass.

Kym & Alli, Tim & TeJay and Misti & Jim get 7:30.

Amy & Maya finish the task in last on their 6th attempt.

Surfers and wrestlers picked up the 7:45 necklace. Amy & Maya last to the necklace.

Tim & TeJay and Kym & Alli talking about where to sleep... They don't want the rats and nasty bugs. All teams camping out for the night. :lol:

Group 1 gets the roadblock clue. Teams will have to rappel 20 stories down a cliff into the blue grotto where they'll meet their partner. They'll search the cave for their next clue. Teams are getting on boats to the cliff.

Group 2 gets the RB clue. Weird out of order placements here. :lol: Teams boating to the cliff too.

Tim, Alli and Misti are doing the RB. All the other team members in boats watching. Misti is quickest at the start. I can sense the competition between dentists and cyclists. Jim and Kym keep updating their partners about where the other one is. Tim is slowest lol.

Misti first in water I think. Alli right behind. Alli jumps into the water. Misti jumps in, followed by Tim. They're searching for the clue. Alli saw a blue light at a boat and she just followed it. She got to the clue first. Tim: "I have too much clothes on me." :lol: Misti and Tim got the clue and are swimming back.

Brooke says that as always, cyclists get the clue first... Brooke says she hopes their plan to U-Turn them works.

Proceed to Church of St. Scholastica and search for the next clue. Cyclists first, dentists second, T&T third.

Bethany is going down really quickly. Brooke says of course she's quickest lol. Amy is slowest. Phil does a live standup! Kym: "Have fun Phil!"

Bethany first to get the clue. Brooke said her feet look like a propeller on a boat. Brooke: "How is that possible?"

Adam & Bethany in 4th. Bethany was so quick! Amy in 5th. Brooke: "Amy beat you swimming. How is that possible?" Robbie finishes in last lol.

Cyclists get the detour clue. Flag or Shine. Teams will blindly select which side they will pick... Arrows going to both detours. THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! :o Speedbump is there. Cyclists are going to go to flag...

Flag requires people to grab a flag at the end of a greasy pole. One team member must grab a yellow flag and the other must grab a red.They'll receive their next clue.

Alli got a yellow flag on her first try! She went super slowly, but she made it. Kym falls. Kym: "I hate you for getting the yellow one." :lol: Kym went on her 3rd attempt.

Omg. Tim & Te Jay didn't even find the detour decision point but they're putting on equipment for flag... They decide to look for the detour clue and they find the speedbump. Paint the Maltese cross on a shield. When a knight approves it, they can continue racing. Misti & Jim doing flag as well... BUT THEY DIDN'T GET THE DETOUR CLUE EITHER? :groan:

Commercial.

Misti & Jim realize they didn't even make it to the detour decision point. They take off their equipment to go find the cluebox. Misti says at least they know they don't want to do flags.

Kym's upset that Alli got the yellow flag because she's the one afraid of heights. They're switching. Alli apologizes.

Adam & Bethany and Misti & Jim looking for detour cluebox. Amy & Maya find it in 2nd. Dentists and surfers find it. Amy & Maya pick shine.

Brooke: So sick of being in last. They're doing shine.

Shine requires teams to polish each other off. When the knight feels like they're knights in shining armour, they can get their next clue. All 4 teams at shine.

Adam & Bethany hand in their EP at flag. Pit stop! Fort Manoel! :hearts:

Tim & TeJay think there are 2 teams behind them.
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 8 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on November 21, 2014, 07:41:05 PM
Tim & TeJay complete their speedbump. They think 1 team is behind them.

Amy & Maya are at flag now...? Tim & Te Jay at flag too. Tim falls. Te Jay gets the yellow flag.

Amy couldn't sprint... She said she can't run... She has a leg injury? They're going back to shine? ??? Did they go to shine first or am I just crazy? :lol:

Brooke: "My mom made me polish her silverware when I was younger." lol what.

Wrestlers not sure if they should switch or not. Robbie says they shouldn't. Amy & Maya arrive.

Tim can't get the red flag.
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 8 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on November 21, 2014, 07:43:36 PM
Adam & Bethany are team #1! :hearts: They've each won $10,000! :hearts: Bethany's very thankful for getting to do this with Adam.

Pit Stop:
1st - Adam & Bethany

Omg Maya is talking about the chemistry. She says she thinks there's an acid to remove the rust... :funny: *ORGANIC CHEM SUCKS.*

Brooke keeps complaining and Robbie tells her to stop complaining. Jim's very quick. Robbie asks if Brooke wants to try the other detour... OMG THEY'RE SWITCHING? :o

Misti & Jim getting judged... They're done the detour in 2nd. Make your way to the next pit stop.

Tim & Te Jay on their 10th attempt. Wrestlers at flag now.
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 8 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: Polaroid on November 21, 2014, 07:46:44 PM
Tim falls. 11th attempt.

Brooke: "Where do they come up with these sports?" :funny: Robbie and Brooke both fall. Brooke: "OMG I JUST BROKE MY BUTT... if that's possible. It's my moneymaker." :funny:

TeJay sees Robbie fall and he laughs. Omg they slow-mo'd Robbie's fall. Wrestlers wasted about 30 mins at flag and they go back to shine.

Kym & Alli need more polish. Amy & Maya getting judged... Need more polish too. Kym & Alli done in 3rd. Wrestlers at shine.

Misti & Jim are in 2nd place. Phil says they still haven't pulled their save out... Excuse me what? :funny:

Pit Stop:
1st - Adam & Bethany
2nd - Misti & Jim

Amy & Maya done the detour in 4th. "Chest bump!" :funny:

Brooke: "This part of The Amazing Race is not amazing."

Tim struggling. Te Jay says the only hope that he has is that someone else is super slow at the other side of the detour. Tim says that they can't switch and he knows he has to get it...

And we're back. Tim & Te Jay are going to switch detours...

Kym & Alli are in 3rd place. Phil asks the greeter if he thinks they're tough... He says no... :lol: Kym shows him her guns.

Brooke is so excited that Tim & Te Jay are at shine.

Amy & Maya are team #4. LOL MAYA IS RUNNING AROUND HAHAHA. Phil asks if this is a candy rush. MAYA SAYS THIS IS A LIFE RUSH. SHE LOVES LIFE. <3333333 :hearts: :hearts:

Pit Stop:
1st - Adam & Bethany
2nd - Misti & Jim
3rd - Kym & Alli
4th - Amy & Maya

Robbie compliments the judge first before they get approved. :lol: Brooke & Robbie see a taxi but it has Tim & Te Jay's bags... MORE TAXI TROUBLES. They can't find a taxi!

Omg Tim & Te Jay done the detour...

Wrestlers sound so desperate right now. They get a taxi...

Phil asks Robbie to show him what number they think they're in with his pecs. He did 6 pec movements... "That extra one's for you." :funny: :funny: :funny: Wrestlers in 5th.

Tim & Te Jay are the last team to arrive... And they've been eliminated. TeJay: I think we did team purple proud.

Pit Stop:
1st - Adam & Bethany
2nd - Misti & Jim
3rd - Kym & Alli
4th - Amy & Maya
5th - Brooke & Robbie
6th - Tim & TeJay (ELIMINATED)

Tim & Tee Jay should have switched when Brooke & Robbie did!  Then maybe Tim & Tee Jay might have survived the leg.

Next week on The Amazing Race...

With the 2x U-turn in play, the scientists feel the pain. Omg that does not look like fun at all.

Adam & Bethany risk everything while Jim fights to stay on... Jim looks like he's about to fall off the rope wire thing.

I really liked this leg! I thought the blind Detour was an interesting twist and I would like to see it more often! I'm fine with Tim & Te Jay leaving, because I like most of the cast besides the Dentists.
Title: Re: TAR 25 East Coast EP 8 SHOW updates and commentary!
Post by: theschnauzers on November 21, 2014, 08:31:18 PM
A deceptive tough active route marker task at night, the first "blind detour," a tough roadblock (unless you're Bethany) and I think Adam and Bethany smartly played the Express Pass, seeing how all of the other teams ended up struggling with both sides of the Detour.
A tough leg for all the teams, but someone had to go home. Tim and TeJay played well -- 8 legs is no small achievement.

LEG 8 (Sicily, Italy --> Malta) EPISODE ANALYSIS
BETTER TITLE QUOTE: "Where Do They Come Up With These Sports?" - Brooke
Dreams actually do come true: an official new country being visited! :hoot: Right off the bat, the teams had to carry a heavy burden, a set of wine coups and a bottle of rum, to a medieval table filled with knights. Sweetening the deal, teams got to experience the hard-hitting truth of the race instead of fragile checklist activities. In the end, I found the episode very intriguing from the beginning to the credits.

ROADBLOCK: (Who's feeling craggy?)
Team members had to rappel down the jagged Malta coast into Blue Grotto where they had to search for their next clue. The ultra-blue waters of the grotto are brighter than the Floridian side of the Gulf of Mexico. The aquamarine hue made me fall in love with the Roadblock immediately despite the generic great heights task.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 8.9/10

SPEED BUMP: (Tim & Te Jay: Paint Maltese Cross)
Tim & Te Jay had to paint a Maltese cross on a shield. Nothing too boring or non-befitting, but the extra task could have at least been a bit more entertaining than watching a team paint a symbol.
SPEED BUMP SCORE: 8/10

DETOUR: (Flag or Shine)
First thing I have to address, I LOVE the new "Blind Detour" twist of having no descriptions presented in the clue! Very refreshing, and much more difficult for teams to decide whether to do the former or the latter, and should they switch option if their initial Detour choice clears the fog and finds the task too tricky to finish. In Flag, teams had to sprint up a slanted pole to grab a yellow flag and a further red flag. This task was INSANE, and I believe this has been the most challenging task any HD season (not only season 25) has aired thus far! Excellent work, route creators. You guys nailed it with this one! Much love! Not only did the task seem simple, it became very daunting that Adam & Bethany had to use their Express Pass (kind of), forced Kym & Alli to switch Detours, sent Brooke & Robbie fluctuating, overwhelmed Amy about her injured foot, and made Tim & Te Jay flamboyantly upset about wasting their time on this very task. Well played! ;) As for the Shine option, I didn't really enjoy the task because I couldn't actually tell who was ahead and who wasn't. Completion was all based on the judges' perception. What made up and did more for the armor task is the amount of vacillation with this Leg's Detour choices. Again, I highly praise the Flag Detour. :snics:
DETOUR SCORE: 10/10 

OTHER SCORES:
TEAM DEVELOPMENT: 10/10 (Teams beginning to find Kym & Alli isolated from everyone else was not fonding, but interesting; Brooke & Robbie's taxi fiasco happens again twice; the Detour )
TEAM DRAMA: 8.5/10 (Can't stand the anti-antisocial team squad, but savored every bit of the drama that happened dealing with the Detour.)
EDITING: 8/10 (Pretty decent although it felt rushed at some parts of the episode)
SOUNDTRACK: 8.8/10 (Felt like the good ol' pre-HD editing of TAR with a TAR Asia infusion.)
PIT STOP CONFIGURATION: 5/10 (Even with SIX teams, the editors still can't seem to fit in Phil saying the 2nd and 3rd team placements. Seriously?!)
TIM & TE JAY's DETOUR NEGATIVITY: 8/10 (Although annoying, I believe they were given the star scenes of this Leg next to Brooke & Robbie with their slowly aggravated attitudes.)
BETHANY BEATING EVERYONE ON THE RAPPEL: 10/10 (That was simply awesome! :wohoo:)
OVERALL SCORE: 9.2/10 :hearts:

Best episode of this season!

I usually put a personal spin on Roadblock quotes and Detour wordplay in episode analyses. :lol: I didn't feel like twisting the Detour choice title tonight. Thought the blind Detour was enough twist for one night.

Post by: Pi on November 21, 2014, 09:09:35 PM
I kind of like the new twist; it's like a RB where they have to select which team member does it with only a small bit of information. I'd like to see this 2-3 times per season. Played at the right time, this could make a lot of drama.

Btw, i'm worried because i'm sure Cyclist will be uturned on the next episode. :(

Amy won't have fun on the next leg.

Amy won't have fun on the next leg.

I don't think it's simply because the Cyclists won 2 legs.  I think the Cyclists had also tended to separate themselves from the other teams.  That would probably be annoying.

Post by: NMC on November 22, 2014, 09:30:57 AM
Thoroughly enjoyed this Leg, and there were some great tasks, but a couple of things really bugged me.

Firstly, after such a great ARI Task, why would producers just plant an equaliser.  I'm sure there would've been loads of interesting tasks teams could've done at night. 

Also, WHY do Kym & Alli constantly switch Detours? They were more than capable of completing that Flag Detour, and they could've got 1st.  The same thing happened on Leg 6 with the Butter and Tent Detour.  Their biggest detriment is themselves. :'(

Finally, I don't understand why, when a team is in last or close too last, and know they're at the back, do they just stand and look about.  Key example - Tim & Te Jay at the Flag Detour, when they see Brooke & Robbie going back to Shine.  They should have just got on with it and kept trying, but Tim was just standing about complaining.  Chances are they would've finished before the wrestlers finished shining the armour.

Apart from that I've nothing but positive's for this Leg.  Great locations, great tasks, and I love most the teams remaining.  The only exception being Jim.  I just hope it doesn't get nasty between Kym & Alli, and any of the other teams, because I don't want to start disliking anyone for potentially U-Turning them. :groan:

Post by: naejae91 on November 22, 2014, 10:38:04 AM
IDK why I'm thinking on this thing :crazy: but I feel Kym & Alli in this leg are getting the edit that somewhat similar to BQ in Season 10 where almost all the remaining team are start to against them and want Kym & Alli to be eliminated because Kym & Alli start to separate themselves from the other teams and run the race on their own.

i like the wrestlers before this leg, but suddenly they become annoying (esp Brook). Persuade the other teams to U-turn Kym & Alli. She also whined many times along the race, like saying "I don't get it/ I don't understand". She hates the cyclists because they always ahead of them. I was like ???
If she is smart, she should U-turn the dentists because they are stronger than the cyclist

At least this "alliance of all against one team" drama is better than last season, AND all teams are rootable enough for it to not matter :lol:

Totally agree. The "Accidental Alliance" on last season totally awful, even somewhat more awful than the Six Pack Alliance back in Season 10.

Apparently the dentists are as good in polishing armour as they are in polishing teeth!

I laughed when they named themselves molar and cuspid.

Maybe the plan is to U-Turn the dentists and have them U-Turn the cyclists.  It would be a smart move -- assuming that any team can beat the dentists to the U-Turn, that is.

I'll keep this short, I'm very busy these days.

ARI:  :hugs:
Detour:  :hugs:
Roadblock:  :hugs:

Great leg! I'll give this a 11/10, thanks to the ARI.

Teams:
Adam & Bethany: Glad they won the leg. :hrt:
Misti & Jim: They can't beat the record now, but they can still be tied with it. :lol:
Kym & Alli:  :hoot: They're still being fun!
Amy & Maya: They have lots of energy, especially Maya! :hoot:
Brooke & Robbie: They're still being funny, but more time was shown on them planning against the cyclists. :ascared
Tim & TeJay: After that leg, I somehow think I wanna see them in the next all-stars. :hrt:

Great ARI task! Just WHY would they put an equalizer after that? :'( Though, I think if they did not, the Food Scientists miiiiight have been eliminated.

The Roadblock was okay. The scene/set of it looked too much like Leg 1, where they had to jump off that rock. I liked that they had to swim inside to get their clue.

Blind Detour was an random/interesting twist. Imagine if they did that in every leg and caused teams to waste time by going to a choice that ended up not being worth their time. But to be honest, seeing teams constantly switching Detours kinda got annoying.

Onto the teams...

1. Adam & Bethany - Can't believe Bethany dropped the glasses at the very end of the task! They're just so positive all the time. Love 'em.
2. Misti & Jim - Just glad they weren't number 1 :lol: I'm also happy to see that they weren't the ones who drove all/most of the teams against Kym & Alli.
3. Kym & Alli - They really do remind me of TAR 10 Dustin & Kandice. The strong F/F team that made it this far and somehow is disliked by most of the other teams. But tbh, after seeing this and TAR 24, if I were on the race, I'd probably NOT isolate myself from the rest of the teams... seeing that it will only gain you enemies.  :res: I HATE that they give up so easily! I think if Kym just stopped for a few and then continued trying, she could have gotten the red flag & they could have been number 1 or number 2.
4. Amy & Maya - To me, it looks like Amy really brings this team down. From her weird running (as pointed out by Brooke :lol: ) to dropping all those glasses to not being able to do the Flags Detour because of her leg injury... Loved seeing Maya run around the Pit Stop :lol: That's true dedication to the Race!
5. Brooke & Robbie - Like someone else pointed out earlier, I liked them a lot in the previous legs, but I wasn't really a fan of them this leg... Brooke's complaining is getting really old... and this time, she's not only complaining about her abilities, she's also complaining about other teams, aka Kym & Alli.
6. Tim & Te Jay - Sucks to see them go. Had Tim gotten the red flag, they could have been 2nd or 3rd or anything other than last!

It'll be painful to see Amy & Maya, who are such a positive team, be in pain next week.

Is it just me, or is Kym & Alli's edit becoming a little negative?

LOVE: Adam & Bethany, Kym & Alli
LIKE: Amy & Maya, Robbie
NEUTRAL: Misti & Jim
DISLIKE: Brooke

Am I the only one who has issue with an impossible side of a Detour? That task was potentially worthy of being a really memorable TAR challenge, but I think the red flags were almost impossible to retrieve (even the guys demonstrating by the side just fell straight into the sea).

And one thing. I hope that they could switch position. Like Te Jay got Yellow Flag so Tim had to get the red flag, but after some failing, they could switch, Tim went to get another yellow flag now and Te Jay could try to get the red flag. They have 2 flags each colours on the pole so why not?

Why not one person must get one each of the red and yellow? It is hard to get 2 red flags, but one should make things easier and help teams to remain more optimistic.

???

Each of them only had to grab one of the flags, one yellow and one red. So actually, you're making it more difficult???

Gasps. Just one? Then I apologize. This Detour is fair then. They should have strategised to get the person who's better at the task to go further. Or if the task needs to be improved, make the 2 flags to be at the same distance in between the red and yellow flags' actual location.
