It is unfortunate that Jackass was victorious in winning HoH, but it will be absolutely glorious to watch his reign of terror damn his game in the weeks ahead. I expect this to be Devonbro all over again, with even Jackson turning against him.

I wish she had made the big move and gone for the hit on Jack.

Nah, Jackass is the obvious target next week. No reason to put him up, especially if he still thinks she's his friend. (I don't know whether he does or doesn't, but he is an idiot, so...)

But I think my actual favorites are the compilations like TV Album and Food Album.

Compilations have an unfair advantage in that they highlight proven good material. Most people would say that some sort of compilation - or an album so good it feels like one - is their favorite of a specific artists, simply because it has all the songs they like. Hence why they weren't included, but I totally get where you're coming from.

It's in the dog-walking challenge, when Alison shrieks, "MINE KEEP HAVING SEX!" and then it literally shows two of her dogs humping.

^Yeah, I LEGIT laughed at that. I wonder how many puppies were in the litter...Best part of their shitshow - and honestly? It was a beautiful mess to watch unfold. How many times have we had couples break up on the Race proper? Should've been more clear that I enjoyed their shitshow given how short it was, even if they were both awful in their own way.

Currently watching episode 5... man, I miss this airport drama that this season has had in DROVES. That said, it was the most important factor for why Jim & Marsha and Bob & Joyce were eliminated - the former due to their own mistake with buying half a ticket and the latter due to getting on a later flight. I can see why they went away from it in the earlier legs due to how much it influences the outcome. That said, they could do bus depots more regularly, given how the biggest fight so far was at the one in Patagonia.

Yeah I am not a fan of either Charla & Mirna OR Marshall & Lance; last time I did a full rankdown (post-24) they were both in my bottom 5 of all time.

At least their rivalry is good entertainment, and Mirna is an all-time villain that gives you somebody to root against without being as over-the-top obnoxious as Rachel Reilly. Charla isn't too unlikable, however, and her desire to prove herself is something the show doesn't do as often anymore. Marshall & Lance... well, there's Lance's comment about women drivers, the condescension, and their own sense of entitlement. Brandon & Nicole are pretty unlikable also, though they'd be fine if they didn't talk about how religious they are so much. For early outs, Dennis & Erika were interesting, especially with how he wanted to atone for his rudeness at the airport. Alison & Donny were a shitshow - he was so useless, and she was such a bitch to him for it. Marsha was kind of a mean girl, ignoring Charla like that and talking in a pretentious way. And Bob & Joyce were just kind of there.

^tbh I should be doing a chart like that for my present TAR5 rewatch, which was sparked by Colin & Christie. But eh, I'd rather just sit back and enjoy it. Four episodes in.

Mirna is just as much of a bitch as I remembered. Cutting in line, then playing the victim? Ugh, I hate people like that. That said, Marshall and Lance haven't looked very good, either. Nor have fake Christians Brandon & Nicole, who are using their religion as a ruse to get people to trust them and immediately betraying that trust. Kami and Karli look selfish and hypocritical with how quickly they judged Chip for wanting to stay in the Race, then saying the same sorts of things were okay with Linda. Colin & Christie have looked more like their current selves than I'd remembered - Tanzania and Broken Ox have yet to happen, though. Favorite team is easily the Bowling Moms, who are iconic for a reason, followed by Chip & Kim. Most interesting, on the other hand, is Charla & Mirna. But hey, this final seven is full of memorable, complex teams - and that's a large reason why it's universally considered one of the best seasons.

I expect the spoilers for this season to be just as rampant as HvV, maybe even worse.

The thing with HvV spoilers was that for every real one, there was a fake one, too. People who want attention - the same trolls who post that the new season of Big Brother will be All-Stars every single year - will put things out claiming to know, when they don't. Some kind people will also post fake spoilers to help dilute the real ones.

Thus, some spoilers you see might be invalid.

I loved this season of TAR, personally. Great locations, good teams, and some more challenging tasks. (Also, I personally cannot stand Rachel Reilly, so I don't get why Inviso loves her.)

BB21 so far... eh. I always "eh" BB these days tbh.

So TAR last night, Chris and Bret have nobody to blame but themselves. They chose the wrong Detour to start, didn't switch when the first team did, switched and then unswitched and then switched back, and liberally gave out information to other teams. Had they switched alongside Tyler & Korey, they'd still be in it. It would've been a race between Colin/Christie and Leo/Jamal at the end - and they most certainly wouldn't have cooperated at the Roadblock (or one team - and we know which one - would've lied to the other).

Also Leo and Jamal have made Leg 10, which means they'll tie Rachel for most legs raced if they get to the Pit Stop and beat her if they're not eliminated. Also, the Switchback is to TAR12.

Without doing the math, off the top of my head I believe the Afghaninals have the potential to break Rachel's record of legs, but they might have to make it to F3 to do that.

I believe they're at 22 after their first two appearances. They'd need to complete leg 10. So two more.

Colin and Christie feel like the adults in a group of children

Becoming parents did wonders for them. I know you haven't seen TAR5 (and you should - it's almost universally considered to be one if the best seasons), but they were a totally different team back then

Colin in particular is a completely different person now, though you can see the occasional sign of who he used to be (like Cly said). He prevents himself from unleashing the full fury of the "Broken Ox" (his equivalent of Abi-Maria's "Brazilian Dragon") now, reining it back in every time it rears its head.

Nameless2000 posted...

If Chris & Bret somehow win I will declare this the greatest season of TAR ever. Colin & Christie and Team Fun would also be great, Tyler & Korey would be fine.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing any of the remaining teams win. Now that the one I couldn't stand is gone, I like everyone left (but don't really LOVE anyone). The Afghanimals are probably lowest for me, too, but not by much (because they're highly entertaining).

Inviso posted...

This season's boot order is terrible. I feel complete indifference or hatred towards everyone left, except for Colin & Christie.

I disagree. While Colin & Christie are one of my favorites, I don't think its the boot order that's terrible. It's the edit. While there have been all kinds of hysterical little moments, there's nothing really personally connecting us to those teams. That's what makes it hard to get invested in a team this year.

Of the 7 most recent TAR seasons (including the current one), two were top tier, two more were great, two more were/have been acceptable, and just one was shit.

TAR's nadir was the stretch of seasons 19 through 24. I don't think anyone would disagree there.

haha wow rachel is the most insufferable tar contestant of all time, of course she gets bailed out by a non-elim leg lmao

The only thing that would've made me love Wednesday's first episode even more is if that bitch got eliminated. She is seriously awful and I'm glad to have hated her since the beginning. At the very least, this gives me somebody to root against. It's just Rachel - my feelings toward Elissa are neutral at this point given how she was like "Rach, seriously?!" but at the same time makes egotistical comments.

Oh and the second episode was eh.

Wardog was good TV - a compelling and complex villain who got a delightful comeuppance.

Wardog on social media is insufferable and I will promptly unfollow him after the season has concluded.
