"IT'S A MILLION DOLLARS, I'LL BUY YOU NEW FEET"

Why is this not the title quote? Would be the best title quote in about 10 seasons.

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)

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!

But at least this season's title quote is back on track. It's definitely better than, let's say, Baby Bear's Soup or Welcome To The Jungle, or anything from season 24

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.

Next week on The Amazing Race...

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

Ahh, Alex & Adam... :'( I will miss them. They gave me better Mark & Michael vibes.

And I have finished my cocktail. Let's see what I come up with for an episode review.

That was really quite a pathetic attempt at designing a leg. It's like they don't even remotely care.

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

To go with the Buenos Aires adventure, I made an Argentinian cocktail from gin and rum with a few generous squeezes of lime. Very excited to watch tonight!

Gin and Rum together? Guess we'll see you in a week!  :blaster

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.

:lol: Fizzed out for tonight especially after watching the 90 degree dancing. :iok
Figuring out next week's drink will be a challenge though. I'm not big on coffee after noon. I heard fernet & Coca-Cola is an Argentinian classic.
