I really hope the breakdown they describe next week means that Nate/Jen are gone. She makes the show less enjoyable to watch for sure!

Loved how when Nicholas realized he was not supposed to count the gate posts, he did not go back and start over. He just finished counting, then went back and counted the gate posts and subtracted the number from his total and got the right number.

What was it with Jen. She kept interupting Nathan to tell him how to count. Good Lord there was enough distractione with the characters around him without her yelling at him every two or three minutes. That was just stupid.

I am wondering if the "uber-leg" starts next week (we're due for it)...It would make sense because having a TBC would be good to keep interest for 2 weeks (remember, the Survivor finale is the week after next, so TAR gets bumped)...

Didn't you just love Ronald yelling at Christina not to put pressure on him while he was doing his task, when that is all he does to her when she is trying to do something. Yell at her, critize her, and tell her how she disappoints him. I am just ready for him to leave.

I was surprised that Christina and Ronald chose to do that task. With his hernia, it could have been a disaster.

The counting task didn't seem that difficult to me. Some of them just shot themselves in the foot.

Yes, I noticed that bit of irony too. The things that gets me with Ronald isn't really that he criticises, it's the unhelpful and posturing way that he does it. Like with the woman looking up the flights, why not say to her, "what about other ailines?" Instead he goes on his rambling speeches and makes such a big deal out of everything. The man has issues I tell you!!

Good to see the blondes go - very frustrating to watch. I don't have anything nice to say about Jen so I won't say anything at all. Next out please!

My heart absolutely broke that the Blondes had to suffer for a few weeks without facials, manicures etc. What a hardship!!!

Rosie-the thing with the counting task is that it seemed like the festival people were instructed to attempt to distract the teams as much as they could, combined with the pressure of seeing some of the other teams doing the stilts and finishing, I could see a lot of mistakes being made over the heat of the moment.

Still I think the blondes probably should have done the other detour option. If you could get the hang of it early, they might have had a chance to finish that task before N/D finished the counting, or at least been close-and if the blondes were close, they could have beaten N/D in a footrace.

The blondes will now have time to help Taylor put the makeup on those ugly chickens.

86, 87, 88, 89, 100. Jen can count.

GREAT DISCUSSIONS! PLEASE drop in here at least once each during the coming week to let me know that I am not alone on the "Love TAR" planet!

I was so glad to see the blondes go - NOTHING like the BQis of the previous two seasons who jumped right into mud, picked up shovels, and generally did what needed doing with NO complaints!

I agree. They were a major letdown after the BQ's.

I am enjoying a couple of the teams this year. Well mainly TK & Rachel and Kynt & Vyxsin. I like the way they are enjoying the experience and that they treat each other and the local people with respect.

YES! They're both fast becoming my favorites, plus last week both those teams tried to treat their chickens gently. Laughed when Vyxsin said hauling the Gnome was easier than hauling the chicken, I had noticed she was petting/soothing her chicken last week in the cab!

Glad the blondes made their exit! Couldn't believe that Jen kept screaming while Nathan was TRYING to count posts. Like there weren't ENOUGH distractions, so she had to add to the mayhem? Stick a cork in the mouth lady and get to work yourself!

WHICH couple was it that some poster labeled as the "Cheaters" because they couldn't remember the names? You know, from 1st ep, where guy cheated on gal so they had the requisite TAR couple "with Trust Issues"? I checked the teams info thread and it doesn't give the "Trust Issue Challenged" info. Wondering if that might be Jen/Nat. She seems WAY too young for him, he should have left her home with a babysitter.

I agree. My fav teams always have the same qualities:

1. Competitive
2. Patient with each other/Respect one another. (Some teams truly know how to deal with stress and don't take their frustration out negatively on their teammate.)
3. Show respect through speech and behavior towards foreign cultures.
4. Positive/optimistic outlook.

The one team that set the bar for me was the Hippies!! I the Hippies!! They were great teammates and fun-loving people.

Of the seasons I watched my fav's were:
1. BJ and Tyler
2. Derek and Drew
3. Tyler and James
4. Dustin and Kandice
5. Rob and Amber
6. Brandon and Nichole

Each of these teams showed great sportsmanship. My one "guilty pleasure" team was Eric and Jeremy. They were just so FUNNY!!!

p.s.

(Kynt and Vyxsin are growing on me too)

I adored Vyxsin when she was cradling the chicken in her arms at the end of the show. I swear she was shifting side to side and rocking the chicken in her arms!!! It really endeared me to her.

I also loved to hear her thoughtful comments on her time in Africa. You could tell she had really opened her heart to the experience.

Kynt hasn't impressed me all that much but I am beginning to really like Vyxsin. She seems like a cool chick!

Biscottiii -- yup, Nathan and Jen were the 'trust' issue couple. Based on the lovely names they've been spewing at each other, I'm wondering if they'll even make it to the next event as a "pair"! LOL

It wouldn't bother me in the least if he finally had enough of her and dumped her in the middle of a leg! As a matter of fact, I think that would make some FABULOUS TV!

Nathan not only admits that he cheated on Jennifer and they are trying to "repair" their relationship, but in the first few episodes he kept comparing her to other women!!!

Sportsfan, I got the same vibe about Azaria as you did.

Hope to see Nate/Jen go next too.

Hey Wilson...mabye one of your next questions in your game should be...."how many times will Ronald utter the words, 'My Hernia'...."

Really, I do sympathize that a hernia can be painful and all. But geeze, he sure does bring it up a lot. Now, to be fair, I do see how his head is turned so we don't always see his mouth moving. So I wonder how many times its edited/dubbed in. Like he really didn't say it as many times as is represented in each episode.
