Ok since there isnt a thread where we can discuss the show, thought I would start one.

Car54 u out there???

I still dont like Blake and Paige. I felt so sorry for the grannies though. But they seemed happy for the experience.

I am here, but I am glad they are putting Survivor back on Thursday. This is just too much excitement. Thanks Judy for not letting us change votes...I had the Grannies, and then I changed my mind...I would have been wrong!

I have to watch the repeat on Friday to really get it.

Yep Car it is a lot of excitement for one nite. Although I am normally off on Wed nites and work thurs nites, so I am going to have to wait to watch S4.

Next weeks TAR2 seems good though, but one team, and I couldnt see which, cheats or gets accused by the nerds of cheating. I really am going to have to look at that tape.

Team Rev doesnt look too good. They are not fast at all. I guess for that show you need to be super fit to run run run..

Personally, the minute I saw their route I knew. WHy would anyone fly that way. Were they not realizing that there is usually more than one route or were they just to weary to track down other flights?

I agree,too much for one night! I love TAR,but after Surivor,I'm not as interested. My Tv attention span is pretty short! And I have to tape both because I have small kiddies.
I thought it was really cool they went to Nelson Mandela's prison cell. I would have wanted to stop and think for a minute.The coast was really beautiful too.
I felt bad for the Grannies too,but I really think if the one strong Grannie had a different partner,she may have went a big farther.Sorry,don't know which is which,Paige or Claire. But one was so much better prepared for this race.
It's better watching this show the second time around because the rules aren't so hard to understand,I can concentrate more on the teams.
I'm leaning toward Team God to go next week.

Seeing Nelson Mandela's prison cell was pretty overwhelming. It's really a shame that the teams weren't able to spend a bit of time really absorbing their surroundings. Watching them run in there, throwing open the cupboard door, grabbing their instructions and leaving was disappointing. Hopefully it was only editing that made it appear to be just a blip on their journey and they at least had a few minutes to really reflect on where they were. I thought the scene with the children and the sunglasses was very touching and it had me in tears.

Wow Nelson Mandela's cell... how incredible! What a great man!

I have only seen a few of the teams go through... the twins did say they wished they could have spent more time reflecting:)

Wink,I'm all with you here. I would have had to stop a minute and realize where I was.
I was impressed with Peach giving out the sunglasses too.Of course,her sister told her to do it.

The twins and a couple of others mentioned that they wanted to absorb the jail cell but couldn't, so I think they really did have to run in and out..

Seems like Tara and Wil were less ugly tonight.

Oswald was great walking thru the settlement, and the twin who walked also really enjoyed it too, but I thought Wil was also uncharacteristically gracious there and it brought out the best of Peach and sister.

I didn't realize that the twins were so tall until they tried to put on those suits for dancing :)

What a grueling trip for the Grannies; I hope and trust that they got to spend some time in South Africa.

Did anyone get the order?? I think I have it but got a bit confused at one point..

The way I have it now is

(1) Oswald and Danny
(2) Tara and Wil
(3) Gary and David
(4) Mary and Peach???
(5) Shola and Doyin and Paige and Blake
(7) Chris and Alex
(8) Cyndi and Russell

Anyone confirm that??

Seamonkey, that was the order as I saw it too.

I really liked Oswald tonight - he seemed genuine, and he has a gentle air about him. Tara and Wil weren't as bad as usual. I continue to heartily dislike the God Squad (so sanctimonious!), and am glad to be rid of the Grannies, who I found incredibly annoying.

Everyone else is okay. Woody Allen and sidekick are actually growing on me a bit.

LOL! As someone who knows someone who knows one of the grannies, (Peggy) I feel like I should speak in her defense. A lady I work with was close friends with Peggy in high school and the lady I work with just keeps saying, "That's not the Peggy I know!" We had been talking about her being on the show for quite some time, before it was even filmed, and the two ladies are planning on meeting later this year for a high school reunion or something. In planning for that event, Peggy told Barb (my co-worker) to get ready because they were all going white-water rafting at the reunion! So I get the impression that Peggy is a bit more of an adventure lover than she was on the show. I'm not sure what her deal was, I think Claire was all excited and gung-ho, she's got that "I'm gonna take on the world because I've cheated death" mentality, and I think Peggy was just along for the ride.

The story is that Peggy was voted "Most Attractive" in high school and went on to marry a professional baseball player. But Barb, my co-worker, said that the way she behaved on the show is nothing like she remembers. I got the impression that Peggy was doing this more for Claire than anything else.

Oh and by the way, I LOVE "Woody Allen and sidekick"!!! "Woody" always cracks me up, especially with his remarks about the "smileys" tonight.

My least favorite is Will. I was hoping last week that Tara was gonna end up dumping him for ..... oh what's his name, one of the roommate guys who she said she was really clicking with.

Seamonkey, your order of finish is correct. You can check the CBS web site.

Cliotheleo, the web site also says that next week:
"Tara and Wil's relationship is put to the test when one of them begins a flirtation with a person on another Team."
My guess is that "person" is not Wil. :-)

Did anyone catch who the nerds say are the "cheaters" in the scenes for next week?

Oh, can anyone tell me if the lady from team rev was as bitchy as I thought she was when they were at the airline reservation area? (When she was talking to blake & paige.) B&P had every right to go to the other ticket lady. I thought mrs. rev was out of line. However, since my 2 year old was bouncing off the walls last night, I missed what she said...

(Hippy how old are your kiddies?)

Julieboo.. I am going to rewatch that part of the tape shortly here and see if I can tell who they call cheaters. It wouldnt surprise me if its the Whitestrip siblings.

Ok just sat there watching it and pausing it. It looks like its Tara and Wil. Since Paige has her hair up and Taras is down, thats who it looks like.
Hope that helps.
