Thanks but what TAR8 Racer? The only one I liked was Mama Paulo.  Also what new show of NatGeo? Race to the Center of the Earth, which National Geographic announced this week. It’s currently casting for four teams of three to film in the October-November time frame. It has elements of the old NBC reality competition show Lost, where teams started at widely dispersed location around the world, and the Mark Burnett Eco-Challenge format with teams traveling across varied terrain. Teams of three is a new twist. Jody. She’s been involved in reality competition casting for a few years now. And if it wasn’t clear TAR is accepting applications for TAR 33 at the moment.

TAR 32 was filmed earlier this year. Filming was confirmed by Phil, Elise, and Bertram on social media and in interviews and podcasts. Applications for casting is underway, and one of those who are involved in casting (a past TAR racer who ran in season 8 ) has indicated the selection process will take place in the autumn. Filming won’t happen until after Bertram and Elise complete filming a new competition show for National Geographic channel.

What’s more important is the numbers for live plus same day are approximately the same. TAR’s been consistent in live plus seven as well, but I have to find that article for two weeks ago, again.

Incorrect. The Survivor and Big Brother formats originated with Endermol, a Dutch production company. TAR originated in the US. The story is well documented.

Money has been mentioned two or three other times this season. If the reasons for these mentions isn’t immediately apparent, then it usually does later on. Can’t find the post at the moment, but with regard to the cow raising task, Tyler and Korey has a fifteen second or so head start over Colin and Christie. Notwithstanding that Colin and Christie made up time, and their cow was almost as high up as Tyler and Corey (notwithstanding some misleading editing that was going on at one point. The time difference was clearly less that when the teams started. The vaulting. The key was lifting your legs up to a horizontal level during the jump. That was also the case when this task previously appeared in seasons 12 and 21. The other point I would add is teams had to self navigate by foot, taxi, driving, biking, and boating in just this leg. And most of the teams had problems. I think the presence of self-navigation seemed to work in Colin and Christie’s favor and they passed Tyler and Korey a few times, but carefully got their boats in a row and clearly finished that season ask while the other teams all struggled.

Re the Morse Code bit. Bellamy explained it in the scene where he relays the message. I don’t think it was random when Clarke sent it. She still had enough access to what her physical body was seeing and hearing to know when to try to send the message. Not any different from POWs using their eye blinks to send a message. I thought it was a well chosen device.

One thing about the maps is that the producers got the geopolitics of the map animations right. I’m enjoying this series as I expected, as perhaps the Indiana Jones/Casablanca vibes is perhaps the right way to reference the style. Other than the Indiana Jones series, films don’t really get into these kinds of genre much, if at all anymore, so give CBS kudos for taking this route for a summer series, it’s a break from the sci-fi genre CBS has mostly used for nearly a decade. As I’ve said before I love watching Matt Barr in anything and he does catch the Indiana Jones vibe in his Danny MacNamara. If CBS does decide to go for another run, the creators can easily do what Lucas and Spielberg did with using other targets in different stories.

The last episode of season 3 showed the movers loading up the truck for the move.

To be fair CBS was promoting Blood and Treasure as a limited series, implying a one shot show. If CBS feels it got the results ir wanted then it might order a second season, but probably not for next summer. It took most of a year to film this, and unless preproduction and scripts are already done, it would be difficult to film in time for next summer.

I’m not sure if your trying to refer to Harry or Henry VII, or to the late Queen or to the Dowager Queen Mother who is Harry’s grandmother. In the two earlier limited series, the White Queen and the White Princess, she was a bitch to watch. No redeeming qualities, and it made on sympathetic to the Yorks as a whole. She’s not doing the Tudors any favors, either. I’m glad they got to the extended period when Catherine is ambassador to the English court for her father. It certainly puts her in a much better position vis a vis the Queen Mother, and the latter has to become more circumspect because Catherine has her father’s support being in England.

Perhaps it has to do with Krypton’s red sun, and possibly Adam has already adapted.

It turns out the vault across the creek will be making its third appearance with this coming episode (TAR 12, leg 2, and season 21, leg 9). I think the only other time a specific task has shown up more than twice was the infamous head shaving task in seasons 5, 7 and 20.

TVLine is reporting today that a Lobo-centric spinoff is under development at SyFy.

Gold Derby is reporting that the 2-hour, 2-episode season finale on June 26 will be time shifted back to 9pm ET/8pm CT to accommodate the second night of BB21 season premiere.

Yes it is, apparently. 13 episodes is more than we got last season.

Episodes return July 1st.

There are a total of 8 episodes this season, and 8 more next season, whenever it is ready and STARZ schedules it.

It is close but not the exact same task. In season 3, racers shot arrows that were set up by the instructors working with that racer. This time, they were shooting nails with a crossbow. That distinction is probably why it wasn’t considered a flashback task to season 3.

I suspect that issue about the grass cutting and raking didn’t come up at the Mat because it was irrelevant. Just to br clear, I understood that the team member cutting had to reach the flag in their lane before the other one could begin raking, but I was under the impression there was more grass to be cut beyond that flag to the end of each team’s lane where the scarecrow or whatever that wooden stand was, where the cut grass had to be placed. So that it was intended for safety so the other Racer wouldn’t get sliced.

They were catching up task by task. And Colin did mention he had done shooting arrows and other things, so he had the skill set. They arrived sixth and left in third, with five other teams behind them. I’d say they just powered through it, as they always have, and dealing with a cow is easier than dealing with an ox 😊

If you know Colin and Christie, then you know to a very high probability they will get through tasks very quickly. If they are getting themselves somewhere and not by taxis, then they’re also pretty quick. In other words finishing third in spite of a UTurn is essentially normal for them. So I wasn’t at all surprised. And this third place now gives them the longest streak for a team finishing at or above fourth place over multiple seasons with 18 (last 10 of season 5, all 8 legs of season 31 to date.) as to Rachel’s individual racer streak, she’s very fortunate she made final three with Brandon her first two times because he kept her in check. Not so with Elissa. She’s very fortunate she survived this long.

I haven’t seen anything, and it’s been a year! Guess only the casting staff knows for sure.

The episode this week was actually better written than earlier episodes have been. The writers room still needs a military advisor on the script, but the writing actually has improved. But why two episodes in a row with JAGs headed into active combat zones?

TAR also went there in season 22.

The courtroom testimony about what is supposed to happen and did happen as well as the context of the operational test was just riveting to watch. That’s as good an explanation I’ve seen of a well planned expert testimony even for an American courtroom, much less a show trial in 1980s Soviet Russia.
