The Amazing Race 34

[Scraps 13561]

So I looked and couldn't find anything, may have missed it so if so delete thread ban user.

Anyway it started last night and there are some very unlikable teams....like the one that got eliminated.  

 

New this season so far:

- No non elimination legs which I like

-They did a "scramble" the first episode where they had 3 tasks to complete and could do them in any order.  I think I like this as well.  

 

Rex Ryan is up in this bitch!

[Vito Andolini 9126]

Rex’ smile really lights up a room.

 

[Radical Larry 28618]

I like the changes so far. The scramble was nice because it added a little chaos. Nobody knew how far along the other teams were unless they were at a task together. I wonder if we’ll get some legs where they keep racing after getting to the pit stop. No NEL is going to make for a shorter season.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Can’t see Rex winning but glad he didn’t get eliminated week 1

[Knoxtnhorn 5976]

Oh great.  Like I need another show to watch.  House of Dragons, Lord of the Rings, Welcome to Wrexham, Kobra Kai, etc... I don't have time for all this....

 

 

... tuning in right now.

The Handmaid's Tale has started as well.  And if you haven't seen The Patient on Apple, it's really good too.  Sounded like you needed more on your plate.

[DanRydell 799]

The only team I really hate so far is the motivational speakers. Hopefully they stick around just long enough to show their asses enought to tank their business.

This is exactly how I think they'll play it with just more, "You're still racing..." end of episodes.

I would assume the same. Otherwise they’d have to actually cut a couple of legs and episodes.

[Scraps 13561]

What is the asian dude doing with pink haired chick? Was it like a citizenship marriage or something?

That chick is batshit and will end up killing him in his sleep

He got mossed

[The Ace of Aces 5183]

So far so good. None of the teams are worth hating yet which is a good sign. 

[WBT 20572]

There will have to be some kind of barefoot challenge for Rex right?  Maybe bring back the grape stomping.

[Knoxtnhorn 5976]

Loving the season thus far.  I'm getting soft in my old age and now find rooting for the nicest of the nice better than drama and rooting for a team crash and burn.

Well seeing as though he is booted i doubt it

[WBT 20572]

Lulz, too bad.  I haven't watched this week's yet.

I hope the sisters win. They won’t, but it’d be cool. 

[Scraps 13561]

The teams I am most likely going to keep rooting for are the twins, the brothers, and the dad/daughter Jamaicans.  

[Knoxtnhorn 5976]

Odd.  The twins are not a fave.  I like the brothers, Jamaicans, and tall girl/ short guy.

Week 2 it is 😂

[Vito Andolini 9126]

The judging is so subjective on the tasks. On a couple occasions, the yodeling dude looked over to the TAR powers that be with a look like, “Do I go ahead and pass these fucks?” Then he’d get the ok, and present the yellow envelope. And the old asshole at the dancing comp judged tiny man/Big Woman way harsher than the later teams. The chunky blond who always screams who looks like she’s dating her brother was a total disaster, but was sent thru.

And I’ll never gat BB Derek’s attraction to Claire, especially not that she’s been proven to be a dumb ass. 

[WBT 20572]

That 2nd episode was pretty bad.  Nothing but judged music/singing/dancing which is the least interesting kind of challenge they do.

Fixed my mistake from above.

[Scraps 13561]

Yeah i hate the tasks like that episode. All those people sounded the same yodeling.....shitty

I can think of two reasons

[WBT 20572]

Ratchets, how do they work?

[Herpa Derpa 6126]

Holy shit, the mental midgets having breakdowns at little to no adversity is so enjoyable. At least Rainbow Brite bounced back, but if my partner became such a quitting bitch as Sharik, I'd leave her ass on the corner and finish the leg by myself. The good blessing to be picked, the time/effort/cost to prepare and participate, and you want to quit the first time the game is hard???? <Piven GTFO gif> Dad's no doubt played a part in developing her spoiled brat response, so fitting he'll have to suffer.

Shaping up to have a number of strong teams with no clear cut leaders. Don't know how you can root against the long-lost twins. That's just a fantastic story of the universe.

[Vito Andolini 9126]

Phil’s an Executive Producer. You know he wanted to scream at the daughter, “Do you know how many fucking people try out for this show?” Probst has kinda done it on Survivor, a “fuck you” to quitters.

Yeah, he looked pissed at the pit stop.  That girl is awful.

Puling for the brothers first, twins second.

He sure as hell did.  IIRC, he booted someone off the show so fast, they barely got to say "bye".

And, holy hell.  I have a daughter around the same age that would have kicked my ass all over Florence if I started whining.  Her father is an assistant principal.  You'd think he'd know how to deal with spoiled brats.

Also, Rainbow Brite (well done @Herpa Derpa) is going to murder that poor dude in his sleep.  She's now cried at least 6 times in 3 episodes and she's supposed to be a motivational speaker.

I am sure that this will do wonders for her bookings...

And yet, the Jamaican girl that wanted to quit somehow made me start rooting for her.  She finds out she survived and wasn't the least bit happy and still wanted to quit.  Rainbow Bright is standing there crying her eyes out because she doesn't get to play anymore.  Couldn't stand that team, but I wish they'd have survived one more week so we won't have to hear Jamaica complain about having to do a competition she fucking signed up for.   Fuck her.  

[Knoxtnhorn 5976]

On these reality shows, I will never understand how people can act the way they do knowing that millions will see it months later.  I know, spur of the moment and all, but geez.  The fact that you probably have 3+ cameramen in your face at any time should be a reminder.

[The Ace of Aces 5183]

So glad that couple got eliminated. Next up we’ll get rid of the brat then all good, solid teams. Go twins!

TJ Lavin, host of the Challenge, absolutely eviscerates contestants who quit for little reason.

I will never understand how fans of a show they have watched for 20 years get on the show and forget to read the fucking instructions.

I bet Linton and Sharik come back next week - someone tests positive for covid so is eliminated.

If Phil has any say in that choice then no fucking way.  You don't bring back the team that wanted to quit.

I infact do say no way 

[WBT 20572]

You would just let next week's last place team stay in rather than bring back the team that already lost.  

[Scraps 13561]

Fuck i am only like halfway through this episode but I don't know what is more annoying.....this episode or watching a baseball game at Oakland.

[WBT 20572]

Jordan looked pretty cool though

If you learn to only watch the last 8 min it’s much more enjoyable

This episode brought to you by the Jordan Board of Tourism and Development. But, yeah Jordan did look pretty cool.

[Scraps 13561]

So far this seems to be going as planned.  No major upsets yet, pretty much the shitty teams dropping in order.  

The brothers team is starting to look real weak though.  They got to tighten their shit up.  Making some major mistakes.  

 

 

[The Ace of Aces 5183]

Boring and easy leg but the teams are all likeable so that makes it worthwhile. Don’t think the twins will be around mich longer given the knee injury and previews. 

[idigTexas 2288]

Previews can be misleading, but I doubt they are in this instance.  I hate to see any team struggle with that type of injury, but it's especially sad when the team is likeable and had a real chance to win.
