  1. Frankie: "We should have used the Express Pass here (the Detour)" Yeah, no duh. Sure, use the Express Pass on the first Roadblock, which is almost always easy and offers little potential for order shuffling. And in this case, was extremely easy and fun. How do you not notice that the Detours are where the difficult tasks that can cost you the race happen?
  2. So, is the dude with glasses the official narrator for this season or something? Is it possible to go 30 seconds without him telling us what's happening?
  3. Including local customs like genital mutilation? I would hope that TAR would thoroughly disrespect local customs when they are sexist and bigoted. Unfortunately, we know that TAR tends to play along with horrible archaic notions about gender and authority.
  4. No way. 14-16 is nowhere near adult. As Rozen said, it's the most awkward age possible. You're not exactly a "kid" anymore, but you're not an adult, and you are still suffering the hormonal effects of having just gone through puberty, but haven't entered sexual maturity yet. You don't have any financial independence, but you're expected to be responsible and study all the time, even though you won't see any actual reward from that study for at least a decade. Those years are the worst kind of purgatory.
  5. Does anyone really even need to be told it's rule not to take other teams' stuff? Most children learn that by about the age of five years old.
  6. I don't think he was thinking of any specific scenario, he was just freaking out because his stuff wasn't where he left it. I don't think he was overreacting. He could have lost the race because of it. He was lucky, because it turned out to be the thing that saved him from elimination. But he had no way to know that at the time. What was he supposed to do, other than go looking for the bag and make some noise about it to get other people looking? Just shrug and say "oh well, all my stuff is gone"?
  7. Also notice how he puts himself down on the Amazing Bathmat? "She was more successful at 15 than I was at 50" The way that Blair was treating him like an Amazing Bathmat made me suspect that he did something horrible in the past, and this is his punishment.
  8. This is The Amazing Race - they aren't supposed to be good at dancing! What the hell is going on?
  9. I thought bleaching them was more the fashion these days.
  10. What evidence do you have that the phrase is trademarked? It doesn't show up in a search of the US trademarks database.
  11. Yes, I was joking about racial bias against yetis. Yetis are only found in the human imagination, as they are fictional creatures. Being pink and purple would be just as realistic. Although assuming they are an actual creature, real dark-colored animals (bears and such) live in snowy regions. As for camouflage, being dark would disguise them better in caves and against rocks and trees.
  12. With the possible exception of the one who caught a tailwind, the paragliders who wiped out seemed to be unusually stiff, holding the selfie stick rigidly out in front of them. Those who took off successfully seemed to be more fluid in their movements, and less concerned about controlling the camera. I may be self-editing or misremembering, but it definitely seemed that way to me. That first dude-bro to wipe out seemed particularly focused on his selfie stick instead of the task at hand.
  13. Have you got a problem with black yetis, Donald Trump? So, models, then?
