Well, something odd has to happen, we have 45 minutes left. Not feeling it this leg. Interesting stuff, but too easy.

I came here to post this! I believe it was Miss Ali, who used to do hysterical recaps of TAR.

Hunter: HOLD MY BEER

I had to go down a rabbit hole on Wikipedia but I finally found it - at least the one I remember: in Season 10, Bilal and Sa'eed were eliminated in China in the middle of the first leg. I don't know if the term mega-leg was in use at that time.

I don't know where OP got her info, but that's clearly a description of things that will happen this season, just not all in this leg.

I know, they had 30 extra minutes (less commercials) to fill and they couldn't have given us more of that 357,691 point turn? We only got a quick glimpse of it, but Phil mentioned that there was a lot of art along the beach. I would have liked to see a task involving that.

Travel agents seem to be more common in Asian countries, that may be due to visa/passport requirements, but I don't think you'll find many of them elsewhere. I didn't mind the charter flights per se, what bothered me was that they acted to level the playing field time after time after time. If a team is hours behind, there should be a penalty for that, not "Don't worry, we held the plane for you!"

Jane Lynch "honored" to be killed off in OMITB

I don't know the truth of it, but the implication of both Capote and Infamous is that researching and writing In Cold Blood - in particular his relationship with Perry Smith - left him a broken man.

Except for season 1, all of TAR has been post 9/11. I totally forgot about the Amazing Chartered Plane, now it makes perfect sense why they started out in the first country. So, first episode of the season and we get to hear the entire theme song, and I'm clapping along in excitement.

The change I don't like is that according to my DVR, they've moved the show to Wednesdays. It's going against Survivor and The Amazing Race. Smart move, Bravo. Well, I guess that's what the DVR is for.

I don't think learning another language has a downside.

You mean the "C'mon, Dad!" team? Yeah, don't remember their names, either.

Huh?

Yeah, the Mom of the mother-son team, during the first car ride.

How many tries did it take pink girl?

Imagine how long that little kid has waited for his episode of TAR.........

I like starting in the first country.

Haven't we seen them before on a Mexico leg? I'm kind of disappointed that they're just a landmark and not part of a task.

"Driving in another country is odd. I hope I get the hang of it soon." So do all the other drivers, honey.

This is that season.

"We can stay one happy family!" WT actual F?

Brow pop! I can't wait!

I don't understand, what tea would Bhanu have to spill? It should be obvious to the other tribes that Yanu is dysfunctional.
