Magpie Posted October 16, 2020 Yeah, I admit I don't follow TAR all that closely, but when Phil said they were "still racing", I didn't expect to see a team get eliminated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nixiechick Posted November 4, 2020 They held on the this season for 17 years, but now they are airing 2 episodes tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magpie Posted November 5, 2020 Turns out they only aired one, to make way for election coverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nixiechick Posted November 5, 2020 That's good to know, I'm DVRing them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGryn Posted November 5, 2020 When it looked like the football players were going to be the last to arrive, I was hoping for a non-elimination leg. When it was the blondes, I was not happy about it. Those are the breaks! I'm liking the married couple, especially when he said, "I should listen more" in a quiet, defeated voice. Yep, that guy is married. It made me laugh. I also like the bearded guys, the Vietnamese-American gals and the aforementioned football players. Really can't stand the nerds. They remind me of a knock off version of Christian and Gabby from Survivor, without their redeeming qualities (actual intelligence rather than just claiming to have it). The gay guys bug because they really, really remind me of all the bad things about Frankie Grande. I'm very annoyed they have managed to come in first twice!

Magpie Posted November 5, 2020 I agree with your assessments, MrsG, especially about the nerds. Everything they do is annoying to me! There's just something about their attitude that irks. Maybe they remind me of Nicole A. from BB and how much of a disappointment she became after gaining a bit of fame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nixiechick Posted November 6, 2020 The gay guys bug because they are NO where near as "cute" as they think they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyara Posted November 7, 2020 Great assessment, nixie. I can’t stand them or the two blondes that came in last. Really wanted to see them get eliminated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, the blondes are awful, too! What's up with telling the "we moved out at 15" hard luck story, then turning around and saying that they are playing for their parent(s)?

tlh9 Posted November 7, 2020 Yeah, going to work at that age is one thing -- but moving out? would tend to imply an estrangement from your parents for one reason or other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copssister Posted December 18, 2020 Completely fitting end for the year 2020 (yes, I know it was filmed 2 years ago). No real challenges the last leg and an ending challenge which required basic geology knowledge - requiring zero memory recall nor puzzle-solving. Meh - do better, Amazing Race!

Kyara Posted December 18, 2020 Ugh, what an awful season. I hated it. To echo cops.. do better Amazing Race! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magpie Posted December 19, 2020 I actually enjoyed the season for the most part. I was #TeamBeardBros and even though they choked at the end, I told myself "at least the nerds didn't win". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copssister Posted December 21, 2020 A Reality Blurred interview with the producers - they weren't thrilled with the alliance and hint there may be rules implemented going forward against just giving other teams the solution to challenges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
