Topic: TAR36 LIVE STREAMS AND COMMENTARY HERE! EP 6 4/17/2024 8:30-10PM CENTRAL TIME

[RachelLeVega]

We come back to Angie giving it her physically all today. Angie gets back up. "Please, please, please don't hit me."

Sunny & Bizzy begin the Detour. Yvonne & Melissa and Sunny & Bizzy work together to do the beef task. You're kidding right...

Amber falls over and scores! Angie ends up scoring as well leaving in 6th and 7th respectively.

Derek & Shelisa says athletic tasks will be where they will excel.

Detour together for Group 2ers as called by Danny.

[RachelLeVega]

And... Juan & Shane arrive on the mat! They are TEAM NUMBER ONE! They win $5,000 each!

Ricky & Cesar follow in on the mat in 2ND PLACE!

Yvonne & Mel and Sunny & Bizzy go into the task. Bizzy knows her cuts... in English. "Asado asado asado..." - Bizzy They want to split the memorization together with Yvonne & Melissa. Uhhh.... Anyways, Group 2ers also arrive. "The struggle is real. Looks so easy at the other place."

Derek & Shelisa rock-paper-scissors for the soccer task while Derek wins their battle. Derek immediately gets knocked over and scores very quickly. 

[Bookworm]

Bizzy saying "I love scoring of all kinds" and "I eat a lot of meat" in the way she did is quite the double-entendre

[kyleisalive]

Ricky & Cesar follow in on the mat in 2ND PLACE!

With the remaining legs, the best Ricky and Cesar can do this season is match Rachel and Dave's record-- not beat it.  Seems like people were overreacting a little bit to the speculation?

[RachelLeVega]

Sunny & Bizzy and Yvonne & Melissa get checks and aren't correct. Group 2 work together again and take certain cuts of the beef to memorize less and divide and conquer.

"Two other teams are there." / "Oh, here we go."

Sunny & Bizzy feel they are going in dark. They have to go back. Yvonne & Melissa are also heading back with incorrect cuts.

"The second we see a team come back, let's go over there." - Danny. They realize there are now vacant spots and occupy those other two spots. Sunny & Bizzy and Yvonne & Mel realize they can't go to their spots now since there's a limited number as the Group 2ers have them taken.

"Torture." - Melissa

Commercials.

[RachelLeVega]

Would be really smart to just go to the fingerprints Detour in this case. If they do that, I won't be AS mad.

That's made for Derek & Shelisa.

[RachelLeVega]

We return to Sunny & Bizzy and Yvonne & Mel left out to dry like aged beef. Angie & Danny, Rod & Leticia, and Amber & Vinny are roundtable chatting about the cuts in the restaurant. Rod & Leticia are correct and open up space for Yvonne & Melissa. They catch a glimpse of them in the background as Angie & Danny finish. Angie shuts down the girlfriends as well as Danny. Sunny & Bizzy go in and Sunny is distressed they lost their lead.

Meanwhile, Derek & Shelisa are hoping the challenges next will be one and done.

[RachelLeVega]

Yvonne & Melissa gets it correct and help Sunny & Bizzy. This is 32 all over again. They move on from the DT.

Rod & Leticia can't figure out the way while Amber & Vinny and Angie & Danny are ducks in line. "I just don't want the girls to catch up." - Amber

Meanwhile, Yvonne & Melissa making progress on the road.

Foot race and... Rod & Leticia, Amber & Vinny, and Angie & Danny are teams number 3, 4, AND 5! Yvonne & Melissa run in as well as Sunny & Bizzy and they are teams number 6 and 7. Surprised none of them started just screaming at each other on the mat.

It's a skipped Detour for Derek & Shelisa and they are the last team to arrive. They have been eliminated unfortunately.

[Bookworm]

Words can't express how bad I wanted Sunny & Bizzy and Yvonne & Melissa to pass the alliance to the Pit Stop

[RachelLeVega]

Shelisa admires Derek not getting frustrated and Derek says Shelisa is an inspiration. "This is how you start up a retirement." This is a memory they will never forget. "At least they didn't have to come get us."

End credits and stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

[RachelLeVega]

NEXT WEEK!

Show content

All bets are off! "We want to run our own race today." - Danny. As some hit the wrong notes and others sing a familiar tune. "We're over there! / Stop talking to me like that." - Amber & Vinny. Melissa harmonizing with herself.

[RachelLeVega]

Finally someone other than the boyfriends win a leg 

The alliance thing gets annoying and then by the end of the leg the two FF teams start teaming up together 

Can we get over this the next week?

[Maanca]

I see we have a redux of the "Six-Pack" alliance from Season 10 - three weak teams who continuously helped and waited around for each other. One of those somehow made it to the final 3.

[Pi]

Shelisa's reaction to Derek's boleadora throws was the best thing about the first half of the episode

Super disappointed at Amber wanting to stay and help at the first RB. At a Roadblock, your own race partner isn't allowed to help you, yet someone from another team can come over to your workstation and give you the answer. Ugh. It takes the "Amazing" out of "Amazing Race" to see a racer be able to take that kind of escape hatch.
That said, as it stands, I do concede that helping other teams can be a strategic move in some circumstances. So there has to be something that can be done to remove the incentives teams might have to gift other teams with help to this extent.

Rod getting the sports RB on the first try was the most predictable thing ever.

Too bad we didn't see anyone doing the fingerprinting detour; forensics is quite an intriguing topic. It's possible Derek & Shelisa chose it given their occupations but they were too far behind to catch up via either Detour.

They didn’t do the second Detour. That’s how far behind they were.

[G.B.]

"In response to criticism from critics and fans about answer-sharing among alliance members [during season 32], Amazing Race co-creator and executive producer Elise Doganieri stated in an interview after the season that the show was considering challenge-specific rules to limit answer-sharing."

I guess that was a lie, then.

It would be a lie if she said they were changing it.  They said they were considering it.  You can consider changes without implementing them.

Per the same interview, she said:

“I don’t mind the alliances—I think there’s something really exciting about that, and when other teams don’t even know there’s an alliance or they think that they’re part of an alliance,” she said. “I like all that intrigue; I think that’s kind of fun. But, you know, helping a team that might be struggling because you want them to advance over another team? I think we have to look at that, and I don’t know what the answer to that as yet, but it’s definitely something we’re going to look at.”

So, like...she's fine with the alliances in the same beat.

Considering doesn’t necessarily equal actually doing it

The existence of alliances, and helping others that are struggling, is not the same as abjectly providing the correct answer to someone and solving the Roadblock for them. THAT is what I assumed was going to be banned in future seasons after the response to Season 32.

I guess that's in the eye of the beholder then.

I miss when tasks weren’t so consistently answer-based
