No, I think it’s because of the sand color. Sand is pinkish brown. SC beaches look the same way…water is clean but look dark because of the sand

Just noticed with the long shot at the pit stop the kite surfers in the water. Looks like FUN! That could have been a roadblock 😁

The firefighters….OMG. They seem like lovely people but I hope neither drives the fire truck…they’d never find the fire.

Maybe her teammate wouldn’t be haranguing her if she learned how to drive a stick before the race, learned how to read a map, and learned how to give better directions than “ look to your left and see if you see anything” ….while he’s driving. Sorry, but to spend more than five minutes with her must be exhausting.

Question: Both Amber and Angie weren’t carrying packs, but so were one or two of the other women, and I think one was Leticia (?). And the men weren’t carrying two packs, just one. Did they decide to pack all their stuff in one bag? Have never seen this before. I’ve seen where a partner will pick up their partner’s pack to help if they were struggling, but don’t remember seeing only one pack per team. or….my memory is having brain cramps….

I finally figured out why Survivor has lost its appeal. It’s now completely without any flavor…like eating the world’s best pizza with no taste buds. old school : Rupert stealing the other tribe’s shoes actually meant something to the game. Him making a skirt to wear to alleviate chafing was hysterical. new school: God knows how many wardrobe changes they now have. And Soda’s confessional after the mud challenge had her with squeaky clean hair, nails, and make up and wearing a pink dress that was freshly ironed. It’s now just a cast of people spending time on an island with a complete support staff behind them…..yawn!

“Sorry, but I'm team Vinnie on this one. I know it's easy to judge from the comfort of home and we can never know what it's really like to be there -- but I really got the impression that it was less of an issue of Amber not being able to keep up, and more that she just didn't like feeling pressured into it; like the "racing" aspect was just a choice and not the obvious practical thing to do. They're both young and healthy-looking, running through crowded city streets, and only one of them was carrying any weight on his/her back.“ Totally agree. Amber actually said, during the art challenge, “ oh no, I guess I have to run again”. Seriously! Amber, dear, it’s, well, you know, a RACE! It must be exhausting to have to cater to her self doubt issues. I thought Vinnie handled it the best he could under the circumstances. Why the heck did she sign up for this if she doesn’t like the race aspect of it?

Sigh….another potentially good crime procedural turned into yet another soap opera. The show should be good enough without all the personal backstory garbage. Just think of the original Law and Order ( the mothership ). We had oblique references to wives and husbands but it never got in the way of the story. I think writers today are just lazy…throw in emotional baggage when you can’t write a decent story otherwise. These actors deserve better. This week’s episode was flat out embarassing.

How about ditch the assistants, have Kylie be the support team for JM, and, for heaven’s sake, get new writers.

This is getting tedious. Will we find out that ex wife’s new bf is Mathias or someone else on the FBI? Been thinking that for the past three episodes. Past several episodes ( especially last week ) knew the ending within the first few minutes. Series needs to ditch the assistants, get new writers, and maybe a promising series can get off the ground. Right now it’s just plodding along. Too bad….I really like JM. He deserves better.

Kudos to Anna Leigh for helping out Rob and Corey when they arrived at the raft after switching detours. When they said they were switching she gave them the chains they had been using ( they had just finished ) so they wouldn't have to search for them. Not a huge time saver, just a nice gesture. She gets a lot of hate on the forum and should be given credit when it's due. She also is apparently well liked by the other racers. Still rooting for the brothers or Rob and Corey to win it. What a great ( and refreshing) season this has been.

I might be remembering this wrong, but here goes: The "retirement" home is on Seabrook Island. I thought his parents, in an earlier season, had a home on Kiawah Island. I know Someone did! If so, they could have sold the Charlotte home and Kiawah home to easily afford something on Seabrook. Seabrook is nice, but the real estate is considerably less expensive than Kiawah. Explains a lot if I'm remembering the earlier episode correctly.

Excellent point about Using your camera to backtrack. It’s not as if the quiver is too small to spot, like if you lost a flint.

Hate to be this cynical, but how do you know he was really passed out? Easy to just let the camera lie there then pick it up later. You would have heard him breathing if he was lying there, passed out. Not buying it. He was looking for an excuse to get home without “quitting”.

Prediction: psycho dad will fake an injury rather than being ( gasp ) outraced and outsmarted by any other team. He’s an idiot. Wanted to root for the brothers, but their smugness just rubs the wrong way. So, rooting for Max and Christian . If I could root for just the brother on the brother sister team I would….she tends to be a bit annoying.

Where to begin? Mirrored backsplash….you’re out of your mind! Not just the cleaning, but it reflects everything, including all the clutter from those oh so “practical” open shelves. And let’s not forget the pure white fabric chairs and stools in the dining room and kitchen. Seating for only four at the island when there are six in the family….a dining room table that can only accommodate six people, no possibility for an extension. Forget about having company over….only the immediate family can fit. why go to the expense of ripping out the bannister and replacing it with something almost exactly the same? And for those questioning the budget….I’m sure the a lot of the insurance money was already spent on the structural repairs. So, where did the $135,000 get spent? Figure the kitchen was about 40 - 50,000. Flooring maybe around 20,000. They had no structural expenses other than adding the closets. I’d sure as heck ask for an accounting! Very disappointed in this one!

Why do they have to fake the weather…it’s fooling no one. It’s ridiculous when Sunny is wearing earmuffs and scarf while several of the contestants are either in t shirts or sleeveless tops. It even “looks” hot wherever they are……. Just let them carve and stop the pretense!

I was under the impression that they didn’t film the dismantling of the structures. Rather, they did a reverse time lapse of the structures being built which would give the illusion of dismantling.

Just curious….why do the stylists on this program hate the female hosts? Breathtakingly unflattering outfits from one week to the next. No need to comment on the cooking…..it’s the same boring stuff from one week to the next.

I also was thinking Emily was Hamzed’s daughter….and Zoe actually is a “highly trained operative”……and maybe the writers will eventually produce dialog that actually moves the plot ( whatever that is ) forward. Very disappointed…I was looking forward to this but it just fell apart.

Jcbrown put it perfectly….there’s no “there” there. Where is the competition? They practiced recipes at home countless times and then do the same recipe in “competition”….not once, but twice each episode. I wanted to like this, but I’m totally out…this is boring as all heck.

This reboot is just so sad. The writing is terrible ( does no one do any legal research? The defendant is offered a plea deal and the defense attorneys aren’t obligated to present her with the deal? And on and on ). The acting is wooden across the board, there’s a total absence of background noise which makes all the scenes seem so flat. Even the KaChunk barely shows up for prime time. So disappointed……

We’re they allowed to bring several changes of clothes this season? Last episode showed several of them with sparkling clean clothes, and definitely changes of tops. Even if it is only a few days, you would expect spots, grime, wrinkles, etc. Looks like they might have walk in closets this season….going to stream season one again and cry silently into my pillow for the loss of what Survivor once was……

Have to agree about the horrid coatrack. Thought the mural idea was great, but the furniture made the place look too cluttered. Would have preferred something more sleek. Still don't get Tom's obsession with wallpaper. He really could not come up with A SINGLE OTHER IDEA besides the fish wallpaper for that teeny little room? I thought designers were supposed to do just that....ummmm....come up with ideas???? We get it, there's a fish tank....don't need this echoed through the room. Actually, that fish wallpaper in the monotone of silver / grey would have looked ok behind the bar ( still a bit obvious, but much nicer than the primary colors one). But handpainting those antique chairs...without sanding...without removing the seats....just NO! All this being said, I still enjoy this show and the interaction between the two.

Love the interaction.....love getting some decorating tidbits here & there.....not loving the bakery redo. Doesn’t seem like there’s any baking onsite...prepackaged cupcakes are screaming “copacker” .....and I did not like that they disrespected her wishes about the colors. It’s a gumball machine bad dream. The red door and black & white striped curtains could have led to a chic color scheme that had nothing to do with pastels. Not liking it. That being said, enjoy the program and hope...like others...that Bravo doesn’t ruin it the way they ruined the Million Dollar Listing franchise ( among others).
