Hey Mods, can someone change the thread name to
3/04 ? Then it falls in line with the previous threads.

Right now it's at the top, but later when it falls as the season progresses, I like to make sure they stay in order & cause less confusion. TIA

This is my "carrot" -- if I get two sets of exams graded today, I can watch TAR before starting in on 15 of 29 essays. Ahhhhh...the end of the marking period and trimester.

While I am NOT a fan, I just can't see that they are that much worse than other teams we have had to endure!

Brendon and Rachel have done very well so far. I had a feeling they would either do very well or very poorly and it looks like it may be the first.

Thanks Karuuna for fixing the date. It makes me crazy when they (later on) get jumbled! We all have our idiosyncrasies, and that's my big one.

I agree with Dogdoc. Her 'crying face' makes me cringe. But I do like her when she's calm. Him? meh.

The teams start to rebuild, but Rachel/Dave say they might use the express pass.
When N/J see R/D leave they says that they are changing detours
M/B argue over to stay or go.
Dave can't believe they were on the second to last row when it fell.
M/B they decide to change. Just as K/S are getting there, they make it think that they were just finished and it takes two hours to do.
Kerry/S see that they had been fooled and that the Kentuckians had taken there cab.
Art/JJ get to the next clue and its a road block, who is ready to use their head.
Teams must now do the bottle dance. Balance a bottle on top of their head, performing a dance without dropping the bottle. If they drop all the provide bottles are broken they will receive a two hour penalty.
Art says this is insane as he must lay down
Joey/Danny are at the watermelons along with Brendow/Rachel
Vanessa/R show up and start
Rachel says that they aren't fans of V/R. B says the whole time they were there they were talking smack about us.
Rachel says that they need to cut their losses and go to the other detour.
Vaness makes comment about R backside, that upset R and she says she seems so nice, but discussing smile is painted on like her over done make-up.
Art still working on dance, finishes it and get clue.

They see everyone there so they do use the express pass.
Brendon/R then arrive.
R/Vaness think about changing, as there stack falls
Others are working on the stringing of the harp.
M/B says that they should have done this long ago, one starts to sing.
E/A are fighting one how to do it.
Rachel/D get to roadblock and he is having trouble. She thinks that they may have to take the two hour penally
They get the clue ad go to pit stop where they are the second team to arrive but must wait out the two hour penally.
Brandon/R complet the detour and get the next clue. Followed by Mark/B
Over at the melons, Joey/Danny complete the stacking get their clue. As V/R stacks falls again.
He wants to leave, she wants to keep going.
Kerri/S complet the stringing followed by the teachers

Elliot/Andrew SSfgal...

Rachel/Dave panicked- they should have tried to do the harp stringing before burning the Express Pass- that might come back to bite them later on.

All in all, I really enjoyed the episode tonight. I really appreciate the producers developing more intriguing tasks and I just love that when numbers are involved, like the counting of cattle from last week, the numbers change with the set of cattle being auctioned making it nearly impossible to cheat. None of this handing the answer to someone else - unless they are working as a team which I have no problem with. (I am still agonizing over the Cowboys not getting the number everyone else did. <sigh>)

Yes, I really feel the teams are having to earn every step of the way this year and I love it. It makes it really compelling entertainment. The watermelon task was a lot harder than it looked, but I liked the Harp Stringing since both took skill to develop a technique to move it forward. The bottle dance was interesting and I will never know how that one woman had the stack of bottles on her head without dropping them. She must be a well balanced person.

Excellent episode and I am really enjoying this season a lot. Nothing is predictable - just the way I like it.

Thanks Videomic!

I agree that the tasks have been much better this season. The show had sadly been slipping in that regard and it's great to see them making it more challenging and interesting again.

I was waiting for someone to pull a Rob. Break all the bottles and sit out the 2 hours.
