First of all, I REALLY wanted to call this thread the "Recrap Show" after reading someone else calling it that last night (that was funny,) but decided against it. Anyway, the title of each episode I've noticed is usually a quote from a competitor on that given show. The title tonight was "They Saved the Eyeball." I watched the whole show in excitement trying to figure out what eyeball they saved and totally missed it. Anyone catch who said that and what it was referring to?

.... and for lack of anywhere else to say this, tonight's show made me really wish TAR would do not an all-star show, but an all almost-star show where teams who left the game early, but were still very entertaining were allowed a "do over." Since there is so much of this game left to chance and luck, it's not like other reality shows where the best team wins and seeing the Bubbas (and I use that term affectionately) tonight made me really miss seeing more of them on the show. They were a hoot. I'm sure there have been other teams from previous seasons who we'd all like to have seen more of.

That might be interesting. I’ve noticed that some of the really successful teams (ones that last near to the end) often get off to a very slow start and are almost eliminated in the first leg. For example, this season Ron and Kelly were very close to being eliminated in the first show. I thought they were hopeless the way they played early on, but they have done relatively well since then. Some teams just seem to take a while to get into the game and understand how it works. Makes you wonder if they have ever watched any previous seasons. The recap show was fairly entertaining but I enjoy watching TAR so much I’d practically watch anything they wanted to show of it.

Backpacks started out huge and became smaller on each episode. I did not know you could take a calculator.

Did the eyeball thing refer to Patrick nailing his eye on the bus on the first or second leg? They had to take care of his eyebrow, and I wonder if the quote was a smart remark he made to his mom (it sure sounds like something he'd say). I've got it on TIVO, so I'll watch again and see if I can catch it (after DH goes to bed, of course -- I'd have a hard time explaining why I watched it twice right in a row when it's all "review" anyway!LOL)

I really enjoyed the show last night. We finally got to see the lighter side of more of the contestants and their interactions with the locals. I loved the brothers on the truck with the children...that was sweet and very funny. The blond ladies also had sweet encounters...putting make up on the indigenious women...and I laughed out loud at Uchenna's hand springs in the airport!!! It was nice seeing more of the others and a little less of the self proclaimed stars... I think the other contestants actions and special moments would have made for great TV too... too bad the producers didn't think so...

I liked some of the lighter moments too.. loved Amber poking fun at Rob.. and his grin (in a vehicle) and the bit with the brothers and the lost clue had me laughing with them.. that was so cute!! I think that was my favorite segment but I liked the truck scenes.. Also was reminded why Rob is so good at this.. when his truck had a problem, he didn't moan and say "why me? why MY truck?".. he jumped right down and helped fix the problem.. Sure he was cocky about it; who wouldn't be pleased about that? The producers, sigh.. yes.. I always wanted to see more of what happened at pitstops, too.. Oh and I'd forgotten about the blonde girl team.. completely and now reminded of that "connection" with the brothers, I think probably it was better for the brothers that the girls left early.. the brothers would have been more and more distracted, perhaps feeling like they had to travel with the girls.. I just think the brothers made it deeper into the race on their own and they wouldn't have wanted to miss AFRICA.. and I wouldn't have wanted to miss them..

I enjoyed this recap-mainly because I missed the first few shows. I loved it when the brothers said they didn't do TAR to test their relationship, "we're brothers, and we always will be". The "test our relationship" comment cracked me up as being a dig to many couples who do TAR. And I never thought I'd say this (never say never) but I actually liked the way Rob and Amber are playing. Maybe a little dirty with the cab thing, but you are in a competition. From what is shown, their mutual love and respect combined with the ability to laugh at themselves and acknowledge they've been really lucky have won me over. So, okay, kill me now. lol
