Wow this is interesting and tense, one mess up and you are done

[RachelLeVega]

Kellie & LaVonne arrive at the Pit Stop in 9th Place. The goats outrun them.

DeAngelo & Gary arrive in 10th Place.

Nate & Cody are the last team to arrive and have been eliminated from the race. "Tough day."

[Leafsfan.]

I really liked this episode. 90 minutes would have done it justice though.

"I love goat cheese" or "He must play piano, he's Asian" 

[RachelLeVega]

Why wasn't carrying the other teammate while holding onto a goat the task?

"Stay tuned for scenes from this season of TAR!"

[cbacbacba1]

First ever KOR with elimination in TAR US

[Jro]

I was super confused when Nathan and Cody were eliminated. Thought for sure it would be a keep on racing for everyone, not just teams 1-10. Weird. Anyway, I wouldn't say well worth the wait considering the fact that we had to wait TWO DANG YEARS for this to air after filming, but I'm glad the show is back.

[elthemagnifico]

Wow what a twist.... Kinda actually had a spot for Nate & Cody 

This seasons is promising, I really like the premiere. Chaotic, frantic, and challenging.

SNEAK PEEK OF THE SEASON

Show content

This season of TAR! Over 30,000 miles with hair-raising challenges, stunning locations, frustrating moments, and new surprises.

The new Yield sign is so ugly. Ugh.

Who will win TAR?

"This is baaad." - sarcastic Kaylynn or Haley.

End credits.

I guess this shall be called a Pit Nonstop.

Wow was not expecting that elimination. It threw me off when they said "will be eliminated" but then had them keep racing. Not necessarily bad though.

Not bad for a premiere! I'll do a full write up of my thoughts later.

Lmao exactly. Like, Nathan and Cody rightfully finished last, but part of me feels like they were robbed just bc they were the only ones that didn't get the KOR

[Theo]

A good leg but not a fan of the way they eliminated last team on a KOR leg.

[nrh2110]

Also, separate not can we please continue to put spoiler notes on sneak peeks like we did last season? 

Thank you!

Yeah. It’s funny that if it was just a normal leg then no one would bat an eye but with the KOR somehow a team finishing last and going feels weird despite that being most legs of the race

Best Flimflammed in recent memory 

[Malcooolm]

Really interested to see how the new Yield works. “Everyone gets to Yield”...what does that even mean?!

[Bookworm]

The first ten-fifteen minutes certainly felt rushed. Not sure if we ever got a full intro for Hung & Chee? No airport scenes, either. The Roadblock benefitted from being as fleshed out as it was and I'm glad, based on the episode, that goat racing wasn't a standalone task. I'm very glad TAR is back, but perhaps the premiere should've been 90 minutes.

Probably a voting Yield like HaMerotz

[stunami]

I liked the leg, it's true that 90 mins would have worked best (to see teams go to LAX, more filming in Trinidad, etc.)
Like all the teams so far, most surprised by the Cajun Sisters, I think they will be a good team.

Liked all the tasks, and I don't mind that it was a Keep on racing but with an elimination, it added a little twist.

[fossil-racer]

This was a twist I wanted for a while and I thought it would happen at some point.

I'm guessing it could be something like multiple teams can get Yielded on the same Leg depending on whether a team chooses to do so.

[Xoruz]

The teams went through a lot, and it was only one leg.

While it has happened internationally, it was crazy to see an elimination on a KOR.
Trinidad provided a fun start, but teams were thoroughly taxed once on Tobago.
Having teams fly to one location to get tickets to another reminded me of TAR 7. #BackToBasics
The fish was a tough mental task with many things to remember.
Some racers really had a hard time carrying a tune, which made for a fun to watch Roadblock.
One leg and some team members are already snipping at each other.

Pretty crazy premiere.

Per the airport scenes, I feel like those have been few and far between in recent seasons in general. Back in the earlier seasons when teams had to search for their own flights, buy their own tickets, etc., there was more to show. Now that, if I remember correctly, everything is already reserved for them for the most part, it kinda takes that out. I could be drawing a blank (I probably am because I feel like there was an episode or two last season) but the last time I remember teams having to find their own flights and buy their own tickets (or at least that being shown) was final 4 of TAR 30 and I think that was the only time that season. That was also what felt like the one time we randomly learned about the dynamics between the teams too so it was pretty weird. Anyway, it's just the new age of TAR editing, I guess.
