Post by: Polaroid on October 02, 2015, 07:01:27 PM
Previously on The Amazing Race...

11 teams began a race around the world. Justin & Diana left Tanner & Josh in their wake to get the earliest flight to Rio. However, their risk to win the FF backfired and sent Justin reeling. At the detour, Cindy & Rick were puzzled while Kelly & Shevonne struggled giving Justin & Diana the chance they needed.

Team Texas won the leg and the EP. In the end, the cheerleaders won a battle of wits, sending team TMZ home first.

10 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Cheerleaders: "See, we're smart." :lol:

Justin & Diana haven't gotten a chance to meet everyone since they were on the first flight. Their goal is to get to know everyone and to make some small alliances.

Tanner & Josh - 9:40 AM. Head to Buenos Aires, Argentina. When you arrive, search for the clue at the church Pope Francis was baptised. They're going to use the EP for their favour.

Jazmine & Danielle - 9:44? AM. They showed the other teams that they're a strong all girls team.

Cindy & Rick 9:48 AM.

Denise & James Earl - 9:56 AM. JE says he was much closer to his fam before coming out. This is the most time spent consecutively in 10 years with his mom.

Earliest flight to Buenos Aires leaves at 8:25 PM. Everyone's getting on the same flight.

Alex & Adam using someone's phone at the airport to find out the church where Pope Francis was baptised.

Denise & JE and Justin & Diana know the location and they agree not to share? Tanner & Josh asking Denise & JE for info lol. Paparazzi getting the address too. Justin: So much for the agreement. Tanner & Josh don't trust Justin...

Ernest & Jin doing a great flight attendant dance thing. :lol:

All teams on the same flight to Buenos Aires. Teams getting taxis. First few teams arriving at the church. Take a number. Church opens at 7:30 AM. Paprazzi got 2nd. Justin & Diana got 1st. Tanner & Josh got 3.

And now it's morning lol.

Justin & Diana entering the church first. Detour: Cartoneros or Fletero.

Cartoneros: 100 kg of cardboard for their next clue.
Fletero: Bring statue in a truck. One person directs while the other holds the statue together in the back. It must be displayed for teams to get their next clue from the park director.

Justin & Diana pick cardboard. Paparazzi pick statue. Tanner & Josh pick cardboard. Paprazzi switch to cardboard. Alex & Adam pick cardboard. Cindy & Rick cardboard. ok literally everyone doing cardboard lol. Track athletes last to get the clue.

There are 8 carts available. First come first serve.

Justin & Diana found another great box with tons of cardboard. A local let Justin get a drink lol.

Tanner & Josh... 84.5kg. Tiffany & Krista literally look like they don't have any cardboard. Ernest & Jin making noises about how disgusting the bin is loooooool. Omg one of Alex & Adam went into the bin and then the other just shut the bin.

Justin & Diana got 110 kg! They're done the detour in 1st. Make your way to Bartolome Mine? Tanner & Josh done in 2nd. Tanner & Josh telling track stars where their cart is.

Kelsey still giving directions. Joey saying the statue head kind of looks like Kelsey lol. Speaking in Spanish.

Ernest & Jin - 59.5 kg. Logan & Chris done the detour in 3rd. Cindy & Rick - 59.5 kg. Maybe subtitle typo because Rick said 41 kg?

Justin & Diana first to get RB clue. RB: Who wants to get sideways? Teams must learn a tango. Practice the steps on a floor and now rig up and dance on the wall to get their clue lol. Diana doing the RB.

Totally agree on that point. Only saying is more complicated due to the heavy Buenos Aires traffic on a work day.

Am I really gonna have to do this every week?

This was a dull and boring leg.

Pitstart. Taxi to Airport. Taxi to HOO. Taxi to Detour. Taxi to Roadblock. Taxi to Pitstop.

If I see the pitstop clue at the half hour mark I just get annoyed and disappointed by the race. Whoever designed this leg was just checking the boxes. Especially if all there is to see after the first half of the episode is just another dancing challenge. Whoever is in charge of the leg design of the past few seasons really likes dancing. I'm surprised they didn't have to dress up like every other leg of last season.

Ernest & Jin first to get out of the taxi...

Not sure what's going on. All teams basically out of their taxi.

Jazmine & Danielle are team #8.

Ernest & Jin think that they've been eliminated. They're crying because they have to go home but they have no home to go to and they both work a bazillion jobs. Phil tells them that they're team #9.

Alex & Adam are the last team to arrive and they've been eliminated from the race. They're disappointed that they only got to run 2 legs of the race. They're proud of everything that they did.

Pit stop:
1st - Justin & Diana
2nd - Tanner & Josh
3rd - Denise & James Earl
4th - Logan & Chris
5th - Cindy & Rick
6th - Tiffany & Krista
7th - Kelsey & Joey
8th - Jazmine & Danielle
9th - Ernest & Jin
10th - Alex & Adam (ELIMINATED)

The game by the pit stop reminds me of TAR16's detour. :colors I remember a 3-way competition for last place during that task.

The tension between Justin and Team Texas continues to build. Denise & James Earl hit a snag and teams scramble to avoid elimination.

Terrible leg. One of the worst of the new TAR (post-25) era, down there with the 26 and 27 premiere :res:

Hopefully it's onwards and up from here on like 26!

If they've only made teams drive and deal with the inferno of Buenos Aires traffic (and drivers)...

Am I really gonna have to do this every week?

This was a dull and boring leg.

Pitstart. Taxi to Airport. Taxi to HOO. Taxi to Detour. Taxi to Roadblock. Taxi to Pitstop.

If I see the pitstop clue at the half hour mark I just get annoyed and disappointed by the race. Whoever designed this leg was just checking the boxes. Especially if all there is to see after the first half of the episode is just another dancing challenge. Whoever is in charge of the leg design of the past few seasons really likes dancing. I'm surprised they didn't have to dress up like every other leg of last season.

Really? I think it was an interesting leg. A few surprising movements. Didn't expect Green Team to win and the black dancers to do badly.

Buenos Aires has a bunch of activities to offer. That does not mean choose the obvious and pointless stuff. But I am smiling that placements kept fluctuating this leg. I think this was a minor step up from the recent Rio leg. But I got to point out... where is someone thinking like a dog?!

LEG 2 (Brazil --> Argentina) EPISODE REVIEW
DRINK: Argentinian cocktail
Agreement deals from the start? Since when does anybody truly need an alliance on a race? At the end of the leg, everyone is looking out for their teammate and theirselves. Nobody is going to be voted out, evicted or fired. If you are really worried about a U-Turn, just race smarter and faster. Now that is a hymn from a church choir.

DETOUR: (Be Trashy or Be A Statue-Napper)
I found myself enjoying the cardboard collecting task. :ascared Seeing people rush to bins and frantically stuff bags with the discards was a spectacle. Does that make me seem trashy, no, but perhaps I should consider beginning new hobbies. As only Kelsey & Joey made a run being statue kidnappers, I can not tell a lie. That was a very boring task.
DETOUR SCORE: 8/10

Bartolome Mitre... that's a fun phrase to say. Too bad it only means a meter on Bartolome. There are tons of them for cars to reserve if I have to guess.

ROADBLOCK: (Who drank a little too much and is mesmerized by a camera rotating every time someone is dancing on a wall?)
This dancing task beats all other dancing tasks in the past few seasons. Although it made me feel a bit nauseous when the camera made a 90`turn, I loved watching this task play out. Best of all, Tanner & Josh got some hater karma. Karma is on an all-time high this season. "You're the woman, I'm the man."
ROADBLOCK: 8.5/10

When Denise & J.E. almost outleaped the Tyler & James wannabes, I would have been laughing all of tonight. Sadly, I am disappointed that Alex & Adam fell short. Well, I would have been disappointed for any of the bottom three team's to go.

Much like this review, the episode was boring... but a nice spectacle.
OVERALL: 8.2/10

Green team got first to the church, first to the detour, first in line to the roadblock, first at the pitstop. They were probably sitting in the front of the plane.

Ernest and Jin didn't do anything particularly bad... they were probably in the back of the plane, so they were in the back of the pack the entire leg.

No. That's Tanner and Josh, not Ernest and Jin. And the girls did not want to change the Detour. They wanted to go to the truck to see if any team finished so that they could take their cart.

Really weird, upon watching the secret scenes there are some moments omitted from the episode that could have increased the editing a little, story-wise (the tasks were still meh, don't get me wrong, but these moments could have increased the episode's merit by just a little):

Kelsey & Joey bicker and get lost at the Detour.
There is a short 20 second segment of 2nd-4th talking about wanting Justin/Diana out :lol:
Alex & Adam's elimination was due to their taxi taking them to the wrong place en-route to the Pit Stop, not entirely due to the traffic.
There's also a short moment of tension that they could have sneakily edited with Jazmine & Danielle being (surprisingly) 8th because there was a scene of them running into the wrong entrance and just being lost at the Pit Stop.

Just some things to ponder upon about what was left on the cutting floor.

With regards with the Detour tasks, the subpar one for me was with the Statue Delivery Task, it would have been better if it was a self-driving delivery task. The Garbage Collection one was fine with me as it really let them immerse in the daily life of some Argentinians. The Tango task was also fine with me. Editing was slightly better that the 1st leg. Also, why did Tanner & Josh not read where they are going at the start of the Leg. The winning team from the previous leg always gets to read the clue. This is the 1st time I think has happened with the editing. ???

This episode also let me get to know some of the teams better:

> Tiffany & Krista's enthusiasm is  :hearts: (TAR has casted really good F/F casts since TAR New-Era [S.25]. We have, Kym & Alli, Amy & Maya, Shelley & Nici. Now we have Tiffany & Krista)
> Tanner & Josh's determination and being gentlemen to Jazmine & Danielle, one of those Amazing Race Random Acts of Kindness Moments.  :yess:
> Logan & Chris, I did not get to see them that much in the 1st leg. Now I like them.  :yess:
> Kelsey & Joey, I really like this couple, they have fun attitudes despite small screen times based on the 2 episodes.
> Denise  :hearts:. James Earl, I know you're here. Tell your mom, she 's awesome and rockin those lipsticks.
> Ernest & Jin, They really want it so bad that even they did not do well this leg, they still want it. They want to give themselves a better life and for their mom.  :hoot:
> Cindy & Rick, are still Cindy & Rick


I will have to rewatch the Episode for a follow up review. Still I know TAR could have done a better job. It was a step up from the premiere so I'm hoping things get better and better the next legs.  :hoot:

I'm going to talk about edit first... omg the TEAM ANIMOSITY EDIT IS BACK AGAIN. I hate it but IT GETS ME EXCITED AND WANT TO WATCH WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END.

But that's not good, Justin and Diana are getting the evil/annoying/proud team edit... which means they don't win? Remember TEAM DENTISTS? But then at the same time, Tanner and Josh just seemed like sore losers at the same time.. IDK.

I like Denise and Earl James and Ernest and Jin a lot. I have no idea how Jazmine and Danielle fell behind but dang, they need to up their race??

Cardboard detour was meaningful but delivering art piece?... hmmm. LOVED THE ROADBLOCK.

Still getting used to the edit. And oh, am pretty sure Justin and Diana and Tanner and Josh will make it darn far. The amount of edit is.... ??? Kelsey and Joey and Logan and Chris are almost invisible.

So I saw the second episode:

Justin needs to shut up ... he is super annoying keeps commenting on everything LOUDLY and repeating and smiling for no reason whatsoever ... This guy is a drama queen .. I feel sorry for Diana she's always quite standing there watching Justin literally blabing nonsense.  The  airport scene  where Justin was annoyed because the mom son team told the rest about the church where the pope was baptized was so sad and childish ... like really there is 100 ways to find out this info no need to act like a mentally ill person that early in the race. I never hated a team that much that early in the season.

The rest of teams I like till now with Josh and Tanner, Reporters and Ernest and Jin my three favorites.

In general the leg wasn't entertaining at all .. I was done from amazing race canada like 2 weeks ago and legs were designed in a much better way than this one! Anyways hopefully things will get better as season progresses.

Based on their backstory, I initially thought Justin & Diana were going to get what I like to call the "they can do no wrong" edit (Adam & Bethany, cowboys, etc) where the bad moments are never shown to make viewers love them.
But it appears they may actually be this season's villains.

The edit is definitely something needing to get used to. Denise & James Earl are my absolute favourite right now! Great energy and attitude!

Justin is definitely getting the villain edit because everyone is nice. Kelly & Shevonne prolly were the originally slated villains, they just couldn't back it up with a good performance. I am interested to see if the other teams share Tanner & Josh's view of them, or if it had more to do with the fact that they're a threat to Team Texas.

Gamerfan09 mentioned something about the secret scenes and mentioned that the 2nd-4th place teams (Tanner & Josh, Denise & James Earl and Logan & Chris) of the 2nd leg want Justin & Diana out. I get Marie (of Tim & Marie) and Jim (of Misti & Jim) vibes from Justin based on the edit.

I would be amazed to see how Tanner & Josh perform with Tanner's injury. Amy (of Amy & Maya) from Season 25 had a leg injury but kept on going and definitely won, Amy did not want to quit and let her injury hinder them from the Race. I don't want Tanner & Josh going out a la Dave & Connor sometime in the Race.  Hoping that they make the finals along with Tiffany & Krista and Denise & James Earl.

After rewatching the episode, I actually think it's not that bad. It wasn't as underwhelming as the 1st episode.

Ernest & Jin at the airport: I love it! :funny: It was actually memorable for the episode. :)

Justin seems to be getting the annoying edit, but I'll see how this will turn out.

There were shuffles in placement this leg, but Justin & Diana constantly stayed on top for the whole leg. It shows that they're really strong, but they just made a big mistake last leg. Imagine if they were eliminated on the 1st leg. :stare

The detour was actually good in my opinion. It's a choice between looking for garbage and delivering something.
The roadblock was nice too. I never saw tilted tango before the episode, and I know the task is not that easy.

Editing was better compared to the 1st episode. Each team got a good amount of screentime. Also, drama is starting to show between Justin and the Beefcakes. :lol:

Alex & Adam were just unlucky. :( They left the church in 4th, but arrived at the detour somewhere at the back of the pack. Furthermore, they fell behind while going to the pit stop. I could see so much potential in them, such as winning a leg, too bad it wasn't a NEL. :( I'd want to see more of them for an all-star season, but I know they don't let 10th place teams return. :( They remind me of Amy & Daniel from TAR21; they had so much potential too. :( I just wished Alex & Adam got the NEL.

In general the leg wasn't entertaining at all .. I was done from amazing race canada like 2 weeks ago and legs were designed in a much better way than this one! Anyways hopefully things will get better as season progresses.

This episode had something similar to Amazing Race Canada - wading in garbage!

Still Canadians were better at it :snics: till now. the majority of the Canadian episodes were very exciting to watch with very unpredictable outcome while American is not as much.  :nana

Justin and Diana didn't really get an evil edit but more like Justin is incapable of shutting the bleep up. If your mentally ill, you can be sure the editors will use this to their advantage and that's the case of Justin. he started crying cz they made a wrong decision on the first leg, I mean what the hell.

“We were really proud to be able to show-off our great city and its facilities. It’s a high profile show that really showcases Edmonton on a national stage.”

*says showcases Edmonton on a national stage* *goes to a gas station and a dump* *shows irrelevant tasks to the culture of the area*

Sure TARCAN is definitely better!!!

US TAR can be hated on all we want, at least we're not stuck in the home country 75% of the time with mainly irrelevant first-world tasks  :<3

No way The Amazing race US is awesome and I used to enjoy it way more in past seasons but I am only comparing this season (27) to Canada's latest season and so far Canada's was better in my opinion. Seriously Americans can't handle hearing that Canada is doing a better job at anything they will lose it  :funny: Anyways let's see maybe this season will get better.

Reviewing eps 2...

I think this leg was not bad at all, it was such a big improvement from the premiere, I loved the cartons detour side and the RB while the delivering statue is kinda boring but balance with the other side...

With the rivalries between #team texas and Justin seemed delivered and I can't wait for rest of their rivalries...

Argentina itself deliver some good legs and had never visited since 20, so kudos for that...

Editing was (still) poor but as stated, improved from the premiere....

Ernest and Jin at the airport tbh <3 and Alex and Adam   :(

If only Amy & Daniel and Dennis & Isabelle made it further in Season 21 & 25 respectively, 2 very likable teams that had potential and got booted very early. Alex & Adam now join them. :'(.  I just realized that all the seasons mentioned by gamerfan, those that placed 10th were beaten racing to the pitstop.

I don't understand the hate for Justin...I actually think he's a very emotional guy and is excited and overwhelmed that he's on the Amazing Race and can't quite keep that in...I don't like #TeamTexas for hating on them...#ILoveJustin!!

I think I found out why Ernest & Jin overtook Alex & Adam en route to the Pit Stop. Eliminated by Galería A"polo".

I just realized that one thing that made me like the episode was a 3-way race for last to the pit stop. I remember TAR22's Botswana 2, and 3 teams were fighting for last that time. The suspense was better because I don't just guess between 2 teams, I have 3 teams to guess from. :)

And the exciting part was that the order of the teams DID change, meaning the suspense wasn't fake... which is why I'm glad they didn't show Alex & Adam's taxi get lost. Normally, when we see 2 teams racing to the Pit Stop, we see them arrive to the Pit Stop in the same order they left the last task.

I actually thought this episode was really good? Both tasks were something we haven't seen before even if they weren't overly amazing. The teams really made it better with footrace. Denise was such a bundle of joy running to the pitstop :lol:

Ernest & Jin are also really fun to watch! I'm just waiting for Logan & Chris to explode its gonna happen :lol:

I hope the next episode isn't full of Justin saying "gracias mi amigo" I've heard enough of that to last a lifetime!!

All the teams are delivering but hope we get to see more of Kelsey/Joey, Chacattack & Logan/Chris in the future, they're a little under-edited.

But overall this episode wasn't as bad as reading this thread made it out to be!

This is one of my fav so far from this season. <33

Chaotic yet beautiful Buenos Aires. <3 Cardbox Recycle <3 Sculpture Delivering <3 Wall Tango OMG SUPER COOL <33333 (Also Tiffany & Krista's reaction when they find out it's dancing task. <333)

The Cardbox is good physical task although I think it's pretty unfair for the back of the pack? Since all the box will be already picked up by the forefront. Delivering is OK although I think the assembly part is too easy. Wall Tango is def my fav task since it looked so cool and fun to dance in the way like that. <3
