When I heard "He's the smartest person I know", I thought for sure that team would be the first eliminated. But, yes, not knowing where the sun rises and sets was comedy gold!

After the kick-ass second season of TAR Canada, we in the Bat household will be holding TAR, original flavour to a high standard. The dentists are gross, but part of me thinks that it won't take much for them to melt down. Am I the only one who thinks that they keep mini vision boards tucked in their dog-eared copy of The Secret?
So glad the agents got their just reward. Not surprised that they went out in a hail of hypocrisy.

I second the fact that I miss the casting of regular folks. Who do we need these perma-tanned, bleached and over botoxed reality TV wanabess on the show? I just don't find them to be interesting to watch or have a shred of personality.
The dentists are frightening. I'm hooing they go soon although their pass gives them obe save.
I rolled my eyes at all the people claiming they were "gonna Kill the competition". I'm all for a little competitiveness but man some of those teams would probably push their fellow racers under a bus for a win.

(almost a full 2 months since the last post. What an exciting season this has been.... not.)
I would just like to thank the producers for making Team Wrestler Guy strip down to his brightly colored skivvies for the greasy pole task. I do love me some muscle bears.
Otherwise, I almost always nearly forget this in on when I get home on Fridays. I don't know if there is anything they can do to liven up the format, but it might help to create more exciting tasks than cleaning rust off helmets.

The cyclists are my clear favorites, so it's disheartening to see other teams turning on them. That also cemented my dislike of wrestler chick. All she does is complain and whine, and now talk shit about the cyclists. I think some of the reason this season has seemed a bit bland is that most tasks seem doable (or there's an alternative) so there haven't been any major breakdowns or freakouts. Maybe they need more teams who aren't quite so physically fit and just more average contestants.

The Malta episode really highlighted the lack of geographical skill these players have. Even the scientists were like, "Where's Malta? Is it a country?". Sigh. It's rather embarassing.

Moving it to Friday was the death knell. Plus, TAR was always a top ten show in Canada, and now that we have our own version, I know a lot of people who don't watch the original version anymore since original starts shortly after the Canadian version ends. TAR-fatigue or something?

Yeah, I've only seen the first couple of episodes this season. I'm too used to watching TAR right before The Good Wife, I don't even remember to watch on Fridays.

There was more of an event feeling to TAR when it was on Sundays and I miss that. I DVR is on Fridays and completely forget it was on until I see it in my list.
I hope they're not trying to get rid of the show, it has so much more potential to be smart that Survivor does and dwarves the same chance.
Really liking the bikers too. What is it with CBS reality show cast members being so out of touch with reality this year? The wrestlers -- all they do is complain about the race and then talk to the camera like everyone in the world is as annoyed as they are with the bikers, who take absolute joy in all they're doing. Same with Big Brother, everyone patted themselves on the back for being against Donny and Nicole and they were fan favorites.

I don't understand what happened to the wrestlers? They were dumb, but harmless. Then Brooke just decided that the cyclists were enemy #1. It has to be more than the girls being standoffish on the ferry. The wrestlers need to run their own race and stop focusing all of their energy on what position the cyclists are in at any given point during the leg. They're lucky the food scientists are being hobbled by an injury, because the wrestlers a mentally weak team, and likely to go home in the next couple of legs.
Team Soul-surfer.
