What the heck! How did I miss that this would be a to be continued episode?! (Though, I was wondering what was going to happen since we didn't have near enough time left for a race to a pit stop.)

OMG could they be playing any better dramatic background music at the end - its almost as suspenseful as a hitchcock movie

WHEN TAR CONTINUES (OR, Next time on TAR) :

Rebecca rebuffs A's advances.

Vic has had enough of J (I'm shocked!)

Freddy has a tantrum... he yells, "When I find out, one of you I am going to break in half."

You know, I have watched a lot of reality TV shows and I can't recall an ensemble cast that was as unlikable as the majority of these people are.

Gus and Hera are the only people I can tolerate watching.

I love this show, but this season isn't fun at all.

I agree with you there Scorpio. There is a lot of bickering this time around - and mean bickering.

I like Gus and Hera as well. Although, I do like Kris and Jon a lot as well, we just haven't seen much of them in the last two episodes.

I agree, Raen! They have barely shown Kris and Jon. When I saw them tonight (at the beginning of the show) I couldn't remember who they are or put personalities to the faces.

Hmmm. Maybe the obnoxious behavior was part of Jonathon's master plan to get as much airtime and be remembered while other teams aren't forgotten by the producers and the viewers.

I'm off. I missed that last part. Did they say we're back to normal time and day next week? Will have to check.

I hope everyone has a wonderful night and an even delightful holiday weekend. Take care and stay safe! See everyone next week :-)

LOL! I was on the phone at the end. I wondered how it ended tonight. To be continued. . . I wondered how they could have finished so quickly!

i loved seeing budapest. my husband went there for work a few years ago--he took a lot of pictures of budpest itself, but not the outlying areas. when they showed the danube, it looked phenomenal. and he told me about those cars. that is exactly the way he described them. of course, he never drove, would you? he ended up walking a lot. i hope they end up staying there for a while, it looked wonderful. i was kind of hoping they would show the inside of the olympic stadium in berlin, to show the history that happened there when jessie owens showed up hitler.

i agree too--i didn't know that jonathan "owned" those tickets. i was also hoping for a yield. i'd yield them in heartbeat. have a good night everyone :-)

Well, I completely missed the show and watched "The Biggest Loser" on the other network waiting for TAR to come on, and then realized I had missed it. So, I'm glad it was continued and I get another shot at it (LOL).

Now I want to go to Budapest. No wonder people argue about which is better, Budapest or Prague. They look quite similar, which is to say breathtaking.

I just checked TV Guide, and TAR is on normal time next week (9pm Tuesday). HOWEVER, I swear I just heard 'em say on ET that next week's show will be a recap/clips show. Which makes sense since I can't imagine they'd air a brand new show the week betwixt the holidays.

Budapest and Prague are both awesome!

I was really pumped to see the Berlin Olympic stadium. I'm currently researching the music for the 1936 games. This was a highly significant olympics with lots of firsts! Besides Owens, several other African-Americans won lots of medals flying in the face of Hitler's supremacy. The first olympics to have a torch relay from Greece to the stadium. This was the first olympics that used microphones to amplify sound, the first to have a "pageant" after the opening ceremonies and the first to be broadcast world wide. And of course there was Leni Reifenstahl's documentaries....very "arty" and surprisingly well done for the time period. She used cameras on rails to shadow the runners on the track. The zeppelin the "Hindenburg" took ariel pictures. Well, and then we have the whole propaganda issues.

It would have been really cool to have seen the contestants run down the stadium stairs, as the athletes did to enter the stadium.

Maybe they will go to Prague next! That would be fun!

My favorite part was when the cab driver threw Jonathan out of his cab. My least favorite part was when Jonathan talked the policemen into helping them and then bragged about how clever he is.

It still amazes me how arrogant and self-serving Jonathon is. Add to that Victoria's confession that it's "just him", which leads me to believe he's like that ALOT. He pats himself on the back for "sweet talking" the police, but continues to snarl, bark,(that's right he's a yapping little weiner dog) and belittle his wife, not only her but ALL women "you be the woman and be quiet"?? When he threw down his backpack at the welcome mat last week, he should have been eliminated! I like watching Gus and Hera and Kris and Jon. I agree w/ Gus, I hope Jonathon is eliminated...........SOON!! A BIG ^5 to the cab driver for kicking them out of his cab!!!

I wish we could stay with the crew for Gus and Hera. He seems to give mini history lessons throughout. He is fascinating ...

At least Victoria seems to be a lot more vocal now and less willing to put up with Jon’s antics. The guy is a real conundrum. He’s abusive and arrogant and yet he seems to be reasonably nice to the local people (particularly in poorer areas) and he can be very smooth when he wants to be (e.g. talking to the police).

Our favourites by about a mile are Gus and Hera and Kris and Jon. They seem like really fine people who appreciate each other, are very competitive but are taking the time to enjoy the race, are not obnoxious and treat the local people with respect. Great teams all around!

The thing about Jon being nice to certain people is it has only been when they could benefit him in some way. I have yet to see him act kind to someone who had nothing to offer in return. It also doesn't take away from the abusiveness towards his wife and women in genearl. My favorite part also was seeing him get kicked out of the cab. Hooray for that cab driver!

I'm beginning to hone in on Gus and Hera and Kris and Jon as my favorite teams as well. All the others have some characteristics that grate on my nerves - some more than others, if you know what I mean.

I especially feel that Gus and Hera appreciate each and every country and city/area they visit. And, Kris and Jon show a genuine respect towards each other. How refreshing!

I agree with you Auntiemike, those are my favorite teams as well. Kris and Jon don't seem to get much airtime though. I guess if you don't create any drama and do things right most of the time there is nothing to show.

Gus and Hera have been my favorites from the beginning.. I wish he had slightly better instincts in choosing tasks, but they still ended up bunched at the Internet Cafe..

By the way .. right before they stunned us with TO BE CONTINUED, did you notice who pushed his way into the cafe first, despite arriving third.. Jonathan.. pfft.

I feel kinda cheated with that "to be continued...."

Man, they better really have some good footage (namely, Jonathan's comeuppance) for them to drag this out like that.

I always want more TAR, and have wished before they would have more than one ep a week (if they can squeeze three eps a week for BB, then they should be able to have at least two a week with both TAR and Survivor). But I don't really appreciate getting yanked around with a "gee, you'll just have to suffer through the holiday and tune in after the new year to see what happens (this is assuming the rumor of a recrap episode for next week is true).

They're doing that to us on Starting Over too. Frankly, you're more likely to lose me over the holiday when I start tuning in elsewhere if my show isn't on, or you're having a repeat. Personally I think its stupid of the producers to risk giving me the freedom to see what else is on during that time frame.
