I wish I had known the show was airing early in my time zone. I just caught the last 10 minutes and now I have little to continue watching the show for this season. Damn!

I agree Gidget. I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't seen it, but it'll be boring here on forward. BTW, has anyone noticed that the tasks seemed more daring in past seasons?

B4ugogo... AGREED!!! friends and i have been talking about that since the 2nd & 3rd episodes... they didn't seem as challenging or physical... maybe it'll step-up in the last part of the race... *crosses fingers* Gidget... again, AGREED!!! i felt like i was watching an episode of fear factor as well... i dunno, i couldn't eat ONE BITEof caviar, nevermind 2.2lbs of it! and i can barely eat one egg... an equivalent to a dozen wouldn't even happen LOL... kudos to all that did it... but i bet they were more the just a little bit sick... in addition to all that travelling and eating in all different places... their bodies must be put through hell!!

Gidget and Yyc, I agree with both of you. I could see them having to eat something representing the culture they are in, but to make them gorge themselves (twice) seems a lot over the top. I bet in that culture, those eggs are used to feed an entire family, not one person. In addition to being gross, it is a waste of good food where it may be badly needed.

Sorry, but I don't think eggs or caviar are gross. Or chocolates for that matter. Now if it were cows brains or maggots, then that is gross. Just my opinion.

I also doubt TAR would make locals watch the contestants gorge themselves in an area where the locals don't have enough food. They go to so many places that they could afford to choose suitable areas for the gorging tasks.

I would hope that the locals are fairly compensated for their part in the show's production, too.

Actually ever since I saw them eating the eggs, I have had a craving for a bowl of scrambled eggs! (Just not 2 dozen!)

Has anyone read this? http://www.tarflies.com/article.php?cat_id=33 It's a fictional account of a sound man who's working on the Race. It's pretty amusing.

That's right, where are they hiding the Yield thingy? No sign of it in tonight's epi again.

Sweet_tooth: Nope, no Roadblock this week. I couldn't remember one so I checked the CBS site and it confirms that. Colin's hissy fit took up a lot of air time.

Actually, the web site Photo Album has pictures of what looks like a Roadblock task in Dubai (something having to do with walnuts in a market). Maybe it was edited out to make time for Colin's jail trip.

Oh, I didn't see the Photo Album but my suspicion about an unaired Roadblock was what I was alluding to when I said that Colin's fit took up a lot of broadcast time. I guess it's not an impossibility that there was no RB that leg but it just seemed odd. Truth be told, I'd rather have seen the task (if there was one) than so much of Colin's ugly behavior. Ugh, I hope this doesn't mean my beloved TAR has been tainted by baser reality shows, lol. I've already gripped about all the eating tasks. Thanks for the head's up about the Photo Album btw.

Was last Tuesday's episode repeated at all, anywhere? My dh didn't get to see it (and I was on the road) and I'm dying to watch it with him before the new episode.

Oh No Yankee! I think you may be out of luck. We've been rather spoiled the last several weeks with repeats on Saturday (alongside Big Bro). But yesterday, Sat Aug 28th, they didn't show either BB or TAR at all. CBS had some silly football game on and were probably afraid it would go into overtime. Do you know anyone that might have taped it? Watch out, though! I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think this week's Tues BB and TAR have 'special times', perhaps an hour earlier doesn't say why.
