-
Yas the feet quote <3 SLAY QUEENS
-
Could Tanner & Josh be getting the Ron & Christina style edit? Ron suffered a hernia after that Dutch bike task in Leg 2 and Tanner has a twisted tendon? on his second leg.
-
Tanner & Josh look on their torn hamstring. They say that God has a plan for them.
Justin & Diana leave at 5:45 AM and teams must now take a bus to San Antonio de Areco. Justin says that the other teams see them as a threat. He's said that he's seen every season and they have an advantage over the other teams. They leave on the first bus.
Tanner & Josh leave at 6:12 AM. Denise & James-Earl leave at 6:13 AM. Logan & Chris at 6:14 AM. Cindy & Rick @ 6.21 AM. Tiffany & Krista @ 6:28 PM. Kelsey & Joey @ 6:30 AM.
Ernest & Jin are nowhere to be found as they head to the bus station.
Justin & Diana take a connection and end up with Tanner & Josh and Kelsey & Joey on the first bus.
Everyone else is on the second bus.
-
I missed the intro, and now I have a terribly buffering video. :pity I could not understand anything. :groan:
I will have to rewatch the episode thanks to the terrible internet. :wall: Anyway, I'm here. :hello2:
-
Justin & Diana are first out on the pick-up trucks as the first bus arrives.
The first three teams get to the Roadblock! Phil stand-in lol.
Roadblock: Teams must grill the gaucho a proper way and if it is right they will
Justin, Tanner, and Joey doing the Roadblock.
-
Justin looks excited in this leg
No switchback unfortunately
-
Ernest & Jin are on the last bus. Yikes!
Commercial.
-
RIP dancergods </3
-
Roadblock is okay. It could have been more interesting. What were the three meat-aging techniques?
-
FYI, the travel to San Antonio de Areco on bus is around 1.45/2.00 hours, depending on the bus company and how many stops has the travel.
-
Here we go!
I like that teams had to work to arrive to San Antonio.
I really like this roadblock. Layers of difficulty and culturally apropiate. Potential for the back of the pack to catch up.
Crossing fingers for Ernest&Jin to catch up.
-
I love the dog scenes in this Roadblock.
-
All three teams are still at the Roadblock.
Joey has the bones on the wrong side.
The second bus arrives. All the cars leave except for Ernest & Jin who are still on the way.
Justin has it wrong when he asks for a check. All the other teams (bar Ernest & Jin) arrive!
Tiffany & Krista say that other teams underestimate them but they are athletes and can do it.
-
Like the roadblock since it needs details and phsychcal challenges
-
Okay, I'm a loser. I choose sleep over TAR
-

Both Detours being delivery? :res:
Tanner & Josh choose Horse.
-
Kelsey & Joey get the clue and choose Horse.

Danielle gets it in 6th place!
Ernest & Jin arrive as Krista worries.
Commercial!
-
#ChacAttack SLAYAGE <3
-
I'm gonna have to agree with Tanner&Josh... Justin is really obnoxious... He is excited and having fun which is fine, but a bit too loud for me to enjoy watching him. He was fine last leg because he was being obnoxious but effective, this time not so much.
Woah, Rick on his first try! :O
OH no! Chacattack forgot their thing for the detour.
Mom gave a hint to son (forgot their names lol) this is sure to be a penalty. This might be bad!
-
yay rain of penalties <3

The Justin villain "annoying everyone else" edit while messing up at a task <3

-
Ernest & Jin arrive and do Carriage.
Tiffany & Krista forget the whip and have to go back! :o
Commercial.
-
This penalty is literally nonsensical. It's been done at every RB ever played.
-
I like the competition between Tanner & Josh and Justin & Diana. We haven't had one on one competition since like Vanesa & Ralph and Brenchel???
-
That's an underwhelming pitstop :/
Tanner&Josh are so done with Justin&Diana is getting funny at this point.
Phil just told them about the double u-turn for the next leg... Why? That's weird.
Denise&James Earl's fight was way overplayed by the promos.
A 30 minute penalty for helping at the roadblock... I thought it was gonna be more.
Ernest&Jin are way in the back, even with all of the mistakes of other teams I don't see them surviving this leg.
NEL please!
This penalty is literally nonsensical. It's been done at every RB ever played.
She was too specific about it. I think that's the problem.
-
The penalty seems to be taken from the TARLA books of penalties.
-
This penalty is literally nonsensical. It's been done at every RB ever played.
She was too specific about it. I think that's the problem.
How was "check the big piece" too specific?
-
Hey everyone. Sorry for not showing up but I'm currently dealing with a friend emergency right now. :( Thanks for updating gamer. :luvya:
-
Cindy & Rick finish the Detour in 7th!

For Carriage, Tiffany & Krista get the whip.
Ernest & Jin start moving their carriage.
Cindy & Rick are lost, they see the Pit Stop but don't know how to get across, but they eventually check in as Team Number Seven!
Both teams doing Carriage are on the way to the Pit Stop!
Tiffany & Krista are Team Number Eight!
Ernest & Jin are last and eliminated :(
-
This penalty is literally nonsensical. It's been done at every RB ever played.
Just gonna stare at this and smile.
-
The W-turn will be exciting to see, especially with the Top 2 teams' rivalry.
I thought ChacAttack was penalized, but I guess my net failed me. :groan: Surprisingly though, I didn't expect ChacAttack to fall behind like that. I better rewatch the episode later.
From the looks of Ernest & Jin, it looks like they're too far behind. :( So even if Alex & Adam survived last leg, they probably wouldn't make it past this leg. I just wish those 2 teams can be brought back for all-stars. :(
Oh, I heard the title quote from 1 of the dancers.
-
Ernest and Jin :(
-
RIP ERNEST/JIN </3
Better episode than expected - so many teams delivering rn <3
-
Next week on The Amazing Race...
Teams head to Africa!
Some task involving locals spitting at teams? :lol:
And with a Double U-Turn in play, it's #TeamTexas vs Justin & Diana!
-
I'm glad the cheerleaders didn't have to push the carriage back but I feel like in previous seasons they would've have to.
Cindy&Rich look defeated, they probably haven't seen a team in a while.
Lots of running around in this leg.
Ernest&Jin are dancing their elimination away! :funny: and :(
Even with my concerns I ended up liking them.
This penalty is literally nonsensical. It's been done at every RB ever played.
She was too specific about it. I think that's the problem.
How was "check the big piece" too specific?
I think it sounds specific enough to be penalized considering the roadblock is basically a puzzle that you have to put together... Something like "check for details!" would've been fine, I guess.
-
This penalty is literally nonsensical. It's been done at every RB ever played.
Just gonna stare at this and smile.
It's so true - I can't begin to fathom why they penalised you guys. ???
-
IMO this is easily the best leg of all 3 legs broadcasted...
The RB and the detour is just <3 the editing still constantly basic but better than two previous...
Can't wait of the rivalry of #TeamTexas and #TheGreenTeam on W-turn
-
I wonder if the next leg will be a NEL. ??? The US seasons never had a W-turn and a NEL on the same leg. If they are doing an EL on every W-turn leg, it becomes predictable, and even if their intention is to eliminate the U-turn victim, they have to put some twist to make the teams and the viewers expect the unexpected.
-
I have no idea that The Dancers was so far behind the Trackstars last leg. I think they would be in the same bus :( But i'm glad that it meant Cheerleaders were safe.
I think the penalty was because she said checking one particular meat piece (pointing out where the mistake was). If she said "checking the details, re-read the clue...", it would be okay.
-
I really liked the horse challenge (but I love horses, so). I was DYING when I saw TeamTexas put the saddle on backwards. So much for "making everyone proud", haha! :funny: And this is the silliest little thing, but I loved that all the fake horses were different colors.
Seemed like forgetting the whip was getting to be a regular thing (ChacAttack, Cheerleaders). Also seemed to me like the Dancers did fine but just couldn't manage to make up the lag from their late bus departure.
There really were a lot of dogs in this episode, weren't there? Sad as it was to see that one trotting alongside Tanner & Josh with a hurt leg, the fact that it was limping beside Tanner-- who also has a leg injury-- was kind of adorable, in an "aww, you poor things" way.
-
I almost forgot... :funny:
The 9th place curse: Ernest & Jin were too far behind to catch up. :( It's something like Team New Kids' curse from last season: Even if some teams made big mistakes, there's barely any hope to catch up.
-
If I had a drink for every time a dog appeared on my TV in the hour, I would have two wine bottles downed and be eliminated for the night. Luckily, I am not stupid so that is not the case.
LEG 3 (Argentina) EPISODE REVIEW
Drink: Fernet & Coca-Cola
The episode started off very quickly with a bus and taxi ride to San Antonio de Texas (de Areco if I was intelligent). No wonder Tanner & Josh had a solid lead throughout the leg. I felt the native Texans showing off their side of Aaron & Arianne against a team was almost laughable yet cringing. It was like they were jealous of Justin & Diana that they had to mention them in almost every aired comment this episode.
ROADBLOCK: (Who has the guts to put dead meat on a cross?)
In my opinion, I thought the meat-hanging task could have been a little more interesting and challenging had they made a cult circle of carne instead of differentiating the three different roasting techniques. On an upside note, the teams made this task very fun, yet creepy. Great for a little Halloween sneak peek.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 9/10
DETOUR: (The Whip or The Neigh Neigh)
The carriage and fake horse options seemed similar to me since they both had to be delivered to a mini festival at the city square. But the part that really stood out were the disgruntled and frantic faces from the teams. I loved all the drama that happened from Cindy & Rick misinterpreting their clue to Denise & James Earl's tiffs to the final few minutes of true TAR foot races.
DETOUR SCORE: 8.8/10
In othe news, Denise & J.E.'s penalty! Was it justified or not? Filling in for Kelsey & Joey tonight, leave me your comments on the latest development. Sadly, Ernest & Jin ended up not catching up or recovering from near elimination. We will surely miss their charisma.
OVERALL SCORE: 8.8/10
-
Something about this season is just off for me. I can't put my finger on it.
I think the problem has to be the tasks. I'll admit, I enjoyed watching the episode. Seeing the teams scramble through the Detour and make many mistakes was fun. However, the way they had fake horses was so lame and uninspired. I hate that the Race is becoming more and more of a setup if that makes sense. Like, before, it felt like you were in the world that they're in... now it feels like we're just watching teams in a private location with a private setup with fake equipment that will be put back to storage afterward. Again, I don't know if I'm making sense but that's the best way I could put it :lol:
Remember Leg 3 of Season 25? Pretty dull leg but it had the sheep task! Idk, that task just felt more real than what we got in this episode.
-
Manufactured drama is what I dislike about this season. I'll take TAR 25 any day. Peach, I'm sorry but i'm not enjoying this season at all so far.
The teams are not the nicest to each other, nobody is edited saying something positive/appreciating the places they are going to and the surroundings, or the teams are not even witty or funny. I miss having inspirational teams like Adam and Bethany, witty teams like Amy and Maya, funny teams like Brooke and Robbie, and the presence of a crazy competitive team like Misti and Jim.
Just WAY TOO MANY competitive teams.
WAY TOO MANY teams who dislike each other.
The only thing that made up for this leg is the leg design, requiring teams to look out for DETAILS at the Roadblock, then DETAILS when picking up the tools for the DETOUR, then details again when performing both DETOURS.
The country theme behind this leg is so cool as well. But other than that, this season's teams are so MEH. The only teams delivering so far are Denise and Earl James, Diana and Justin and Josh and Tanner.
And of course Ernest and Jin, but they are eliminated now... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :'( :'( :'(
-

Just gonna stare at this and smile.
It's so true - I can't begin to fathom why they penalised you guys. ???
I think in this case it was a details oriented Roadblock? I can't remember a season where a non-Roadblocker gave specific tips and didn't get a penalty?
-
The detour would be much better if both tasks require teams to deliver their items to a new place rather than the detour decision point
It makes the guiding part become useless :(
Tanner & Josh got a really high average placing after 3 legs (1.33) :ascared
I have a feeling that the next leg will be a NEL
If so, is it the third time that a U-Turn is placed in a NEL? (After 13-09 and 15-10)
That will somehow make the U-Turn drama less interesting :(
-
DETOUR: (The Whip or The Neigh Neigh)
I was thinking of that too. :grins: :funny:
I have a feeling that the next leg will be a NEL
If so, is it the third time that a U-Turn is placed in a NEL? (After 13-09 and 15-10)
Now I get it. Those U-turns were unused or unaired after all. :ascared
-
Tanner & Josh got a really high average placing after 3 legs (1.33) :ascared
Misti & Jim also did it in TAR 25, before their meltdown in Leg 4 which they placed 8th (non-elimination) despite placing 1st, 2nd, 1st in first 3 legs.
-
+ I hope Phil tells everyone that the next leg will feature a Double U-TURN and not just to those two teams, sufficiently giving them loads of opportunity/time to strategize. -_-
-
What a surprise Argentina failed to deliver anything good TAR please stop going there
-
I didn't mind the episode but I really didn't like the fact that the dancers were so obviously gone from the get go.
-

I think in this case it was a details oriented Roadblock? I can't remember a season where a non-Roadblocker gave specific tips and didn't get a penalty?
Charla & Mirna sorting through envelopes (coincidentally also in Argentina) is the most obvious example. They shouldn't have been penalised for that back then (and they weren't) and the same thing should have happened in this episode (but it didn't...).
-
Comparing the previous episode from this one, the previous one was good, but this one was great! :hoot: There are so many things I wanna say, but I don't know if I still remember everything. :lol:
Justin & Diana vs Tanner & Josh: This rivalry is fun to watch as of now. It's interesting how Tanner & Josh is trying to get Kelsey & Joey to their side, even though the reporters seem neutral to either side. Maybe it's just the edit. ??? The W-turn next leg and the EP is making things more exciting for the next leg! :hearts: The only way Justin & Diana could avoid the W-turn is if they are 1st on the W-turn board. I wonder how this will turn out. :colors
Tanner's hamstring problem reminded me of Dave's Achilles problem. It was on a footrace on the 2nd leg, and both their teams placed 2nd. :stare Coincidence, but this one is less severe than the one in TAR22. Also, Tanner & Josh winning footraces with such a problem shows how strong they really are, especially Tanner. :hoot:
ChacAttack dropped from 3rd to 7th... :oh Now I see what I didn't see earlier. It was that bad after all. They lost their good lead, and that would've been frustrating if I were in their shoes. Also, funny coincidence how ChacAttack and the Cheerleaders left the whip in different ways. :funny: It's like person X is about to go shopping without money and has to go back home and get it, and person B forgets to pay something he bought from a store. (I hope the metaphor is good. :gnome )
Also, unlike last leg, the teams here are separated in groups. It reminded me of TAR16's Argentine leg, the 3rd leg too. There were 3 teams who are ahead of the others, and a 2nd set of teams trying to catch up with the 1st batch. Again, it is coincidental, but not completely.
The roadblock was a detail task. I like it because it shuffled some placements and it wasn't linear compared to last leg's. :hrt: The horse detour was okay, good enough; however, the 2 teams' mistakes on the whip made the other detour more interesting, and funny. :funny: Also, I like how there are permanently limited slots in each detour side this leg. We've seen detours with the 1st come 1st serve policy, but any team can just wait all they want to get their chance to do the detour. Also, we've seen the random detour in Monaco last season, but my point is, the permanently limited slots detour this leg was unique, and I like that kind of twist because we get to see both sides of the detour by default. I don't remember seeing a twist like that back then, aside from fast forwards of course. There might be, but it doesn't happen very often. :hrt:
Denise & JE got some attention from the roadblock, and from the somewhat exaggerated clip from last episode's preview. :lol: Meanwhile, I think Jazmine & Danielle got the least screentime this episode, so I hope to see more of them next leg, even though I'm expecting the W-turn and the rivalry (and also the EP) to be the highlight next episode.
Ernest & Jin were really unlucky this leg. :( There was no way they could catch up, and they didn't even see a team this leg. :( 3 teams made some mistakes, and it wasn't enough for them to catch up. :( Jin finished the roadblock in 1 try, and he and Ernest never made the mistake of leaving the whip behind during the detour. ( :lol: to the other 2 teams with the whip, but :( because this team still couldn't catch up) They did their best from how I saw it, and if they were at the front of the pack, I think they could even get 1st! :ascared :( It is a 9th place curse because of those points I just mentioned, and it really makes me sad to see them go. :( How I wish it was a NEL instead, including last leg. I really wanna see more of the teams who were eliminated early in the race, which is why I prefer earlier NEL's compared to later ones.
One last thing, a lot have been saying that the cheerleaders might be (or are) the new CaroJen. I disagree with this, and they are actually better than CaroJen. They do the physical tasks on their own, because they're athletes! :wohoo: This makes me want to root for them too. :hoot:
I think that's almost everything I wanna say. I might have forgotten something, but it might just be a small detail. Saying this much just means the episode was really exciting, and it was amazing! :trampb: :cheer: :wohoo: This episode really delivered! :conf:

We saw one team say something good about the places they visited. Ernest & Jin, I like how they handled their elimination. Of course they are disappointed because the Race was their stepping stone to have a better life but they are grateful for their time on the Race and the places they've been to. For inspirational, Alex & Adam fit right in this category. They had the potential, their elimination just boiled down to a bad cab. I have to agree that there are competitive teams, a lot of them.
~ Compared to the last episode this was a huge step up. The editing was great, tasks were also great, really Argentinian. :cheer: :cheer:
-
^^NICE!! I liked this episode too. I hope you all will try to see the Insider Vids...they add so much MORE to the story.
-
I think I might be the only one that really hated this Leg. :groan:
It was so linear. Ernest & Jin had no hope of catching up, and it was evident they'd be last within the first 10 minutes. I can't understand why producers don't make the more linear Legs, or those with very little chance for a trailing Team catching up, Non-Elimination Legs. (:;) I'm not saying always do it, but once in a while would be nice.
Honestly, I've never been a fan of Legs that start with teams catching buses to the next destination, because it always ends up with 1 or 2 teams on the last bus, and more than likely one of those teams are the ones sent home. :gaah:
With 3 Elimination Legs so far, I would guess that Leg 4 may be a Non-Elim, which makes nooooo sense now we know there'll be a W-Turn. ???
Maybe I'm just extremely bitter over Ernest & Jin's elimination, but the whole way through the episode all I was thinking was WHY IS IT SO LINEAR! :lol: (But seriously, there was hardly any placement changes)
But trying to put that aside, I don't think the Detour was all that great. The RB was brilliant however, so at least that's one positive. :lol:
Team Rankings:
Love: Ernest & Jin
Like: Cindy & Rick, Chris & Logan, Jasmine & Danielle, Tiffany & Krista
Neutral: Denise & James Earl, Kelsey & Joey
Dislike: Justin & Diana, Tanner & Josh
-
TARUSAFan, yep, pretty much Ernest and Jin only. Maybe I had too high expectations, and forgot about this amazing team's attitude towards the race.
I'm sure other teams have said positive things while being on the race too.. I think whoever is in the editing team should be dragged out and shot.

Just WAY TOO MANY competitive teams.
WAY TOO MANY teams who dislike each other.
This is also why season 20 was not very likable to me. Bopper & Mark, Dave & Cherie, and Misa & Maiya were the only teams not part of a giant all-out feud. The editors are playing way too much into the Justin & Diana v. Tanner & Josh dislike that it's becoming pathetic. Even the shoving incident between Kisha & Jen and Margie & Luke in 14 was not sugar-coated after the Guilin leg.
-
This is a very sad leg. When I saw the first team depart on 6-ish am and will be taking a bus, I was pretty sure that there won't be an equalizer since buses are abundant during that time of the day. I just hope that the dancers were given the opportunity to catch up but there wasn't. The editing made didn't even hide that fact. :( :( :(
I'm so, so, sad for them. Hope they will be invited for another season and will be luckier and better.

At the end of the day, they're not a strong team. Even if they had survived this leg, still it would've been very hard for them to go much further.
And Justin is quite annoying so far. Unfortunately, the editing makes it like they will stay very long in the race, which is painful to watch )-** )-**

This episode was actually okay? I didn't think it was bad at all apart from the constant GAUCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That got on my nerves fast. If Ernest & Jin had a chance it might've added the extra suspense that was needed.

I don't really like the design of this leg. 3 ASSEMBLY TASKS + ATTENTION TO DETAIL scramble into a leg? (With 2 of them involved navigating to the exact SAME PLACE). BORING. And why don't let teams drive there from Buenos Aires since it wasn't that far? What's the point of putting them on the truck for an ENTIRE leg? Some more navigation would be better? Also, have a Pit Stop during last leg at Polo Club and then we have the fake Polo task on the next respective leg, wtf. :res:
I still prefer leg 2 over this. This one is really boring and we all know who will gone after first 5 minutes.

If you take a minute to read the statistics about road accidents in Argentina you'd understand why is safest not let the teams use self driving, specially on routes/highways.

But it's OK for them to drive in TAR20, Alen? ???
I'm not trying to be mean, but I just want team to do something rather than sitting on the back of the truck and do nothing. :lol:

Argentina had on 2014 a toll of 21 persons dead on road accidents, daily. The province of Buenos Aires - where San Antonio de Areco is located - had over 2.000 deaths on 2014 for this reason. Do you really want to put the teams behind the wheel on a risky scenario like that?

OK, thanks for the information. I just thought if 20 can handle teams driving in the small cities of Argentina then it MIGHT be OK for them to drive in San Antonio de Areco too. :(

If I remember correctly,
only 5,7 and 16 have teams self-drived in Argentina right?
-
One thing is the teams self-driving on secondary roads or not so crowded routes as in Salta (or Mendoza, or the Patagonia) and something different in the city of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires, where is concentrated almost half of the population of the country.
Keepcopz, I know the road. I did it a lot of times while going to Pergamino - that is located two hours distance from San Antonio on the same route - for work, and although the first part of the travel is on a highway, once you take the National Route 8 it becomes a single lane route that is used not only by cars and buses but also by hundreds of trucks carriying from grains to livestock and manufactured goods. And after watching the numbers, probably you have already figured that we are not the most disciplined drivers of the world.
