S33.E01: We’re Back! LIVE CHAT

[iMonrey]

First face plant of the season, first bad taxi luck.

[Lamb18]

It looked like someone left a backpack on the floor in the museum. 

Clerkenwell! I've been by the Central Post Office.

I wonder if the taxis who aren't stopping for then team at the hotel only do airports or train stations.

 

[chaifan]

A 15-20 minute difference between the first three Digiben teams and the first Banksy team to finish (Kim & Penn), even though Kim & Penn made no real errors (only got caught with picky details by the judge) and didn't get lost (that we know of).  Boo.

The vocal fry of the flight attendants is killing me.

Well, the one. Has the one with glasses said a word yet?

Hm.  Good question.

[Lamb18]

I found the post office on Google maps and there is a coffee shop opposite it called Mouse Tail Coffee.

Those train hero guys…there was a third guy….he got to do Dancing with the Stars a few years ago.   I was wondering why him and not the other two…and why they weren’t mentioned . But I guess because they are on another network.  

Something about twins…at least they aren’t screaming “twinnee”.

Seriously, how many didn’t know what a Bobby was?   And hopefully that one team was being tongue in cheek and didn’t really think the Queen was involved.  

I do not like that tall guy.  They said this is what they are always like, but I can’t believe she puts up with him.

 French flag?  What's a nosh?   So embarrassing.  

Along with not knowing who Boris Johnson was. Yeesh.

I was so impressed with Ackbar's school and the impact on the kids. But I think he's "that guy," and it makes me sad. I can't take an entire season of him haranguing Sheri and blaming it on being "competitive." I hope he gets better.

[Lantern7]

Wondering if the producers jammed in so much train stuff for Team 15:17.

[Browncoat]

Heh, raccoon in a dumpster.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I think I could do this! I'd definitely choose this roadblock, though how well I'd do is up in the air.

[Lantern7]

How many sets of twins have done the show? I’m thinking seven. Can anyone confirm?

[Lamb18]

Cool roadblock!

Sheri should do the roadblock. Shouldn't need tons of strength or endurance.

[ali59]

Did that flight attendant just refer to herself in the third person?  I hate that team!

Yes she did, with her vocal fry.  But at least her teammate actually spoke!

[Lantern7]

One guy reminds me of Giordi Laforge. It’s the sweater colors.

This mail thing looks too easy. No wonder they were confused.

[Browncoat]

Don't overthink it, guys!

[DEL901]

Over thinking much?

[Maverick]

 Clearly these guys didn't book with Captain Obvious.

 

 

I think these two should have went on Big Brother

[NotChristine]

You have the clue, go.

[Pepper the Cat]

A little early in the race to start over thinking things

[WahooLAH99]

The women should have done this task! That was a stupid move! 

[Lantern7]

Imagining Racers trying to work together, only to Phil to appear from the shadows and punch them in the head.

[Lamb18]

I hope the boxes he's opening up aren't real Mail.

Why aren't the clues yellow?

Funny those two guys staying down there after they found the clue.

[Lady Calypso]

Yeah, why the hell would he be honest with you two Overthinkers? It's a RAAAAAACE.

[PaperTree]

What's wrong with the guys?  Why wouldn't that be the clue in yellow with "Amazing Race" on it.

[Lantern7]

I did notice big boxes with the TAR decal on them.

I get why they might think it's a trick, because they all found their clues within seconds and TAR is never that easy. But....just read your clue again, and you'll see that it IS that easy. The show doesn't want you to rip into people's actual mail! Or even fake mail! 

[chaifan]

If the letter was TAR yellow it would have stood out way too easily.  I think it should have been a letter addressed to Phil at his home address.  😁

To mess with their heads.  And it's working.

[susannot]

Sorry but the older guy with AHDH should be a hoot.  Sorting all the letters by name?  WTF?

[Browncoat]

Darts!  You'll shoot your eye out!

[Lantern7]

“Heh . . . are you the Master Baker?” “Go to the other Detour, arsehole. I’m not in the mood for immature Americans.”

Edited January 6, 2022 by Lantern7

[Maverick]

 Pick the European flag task?   LOL   This should be good.  

[PaperTree]

IDK, they looked a pale yellow to me.

[Lady Calypso]

Nope, I'd be horrible at both of these detours. But I'd rather do the cake task. Darts would not go well for me.

[Browncoat]

At least Penn can laugh at/about himself.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, the twins got SUPER lost, didn't they?

[Lantern7]

As far as CBS reality alumni go, Love Island Guy could’ve done worse. Fessy wouldn’t have found the clue, Paulie would’ve collapsed from exhaustion, and Josh wouldn’t have figured out how to exit the train.

 "I'm horrible at searching for things"  All while his partner is like "good thing you didn't do it.  You never would have found it.   It took those other two an hour to ger it."

[Browncoat]

Geordi is way too defensive (I don't know his real name, so I'm going to call him Geordi -- thanks, @Lantern7!), and his girlfriend has a serious upspeak problem.  Not every sentence is a question, dear.

I'm really good with flags.  Piece of cake😎

[susannot]

Caro:  "For future reference this says The Amazing Race.  It is a clue."  How long will that relationship last?

 The cake tasks is made for Paulie.  baked Goods.  Flags.   He could sit there teary eyed as he misses country after country.  

[Haleth]

Mmmmm. Cake.  

[chaifan]

I'm horrible at flags.  But if I had even made it past the first interview to be on TAR, that is the first thing I'd be committing to memory.  (I can already drive stick.)  So the real me would suck at the cake challenge.  The imaginary TAR Racer me would rock it. 

I'm only good at darts if I'm drinking.  That could cause an issue here...

[Lantern7]

Undercover Boss is still a thing? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[iMonrey]

The problem with recruited players - they maybe aren't familiar enough with the show to recognize the clue.

[Lamb18]

Some of the men aren't representing themselves well as far astheirbtempers go.

Nice, the carrot commercial. Watch, the detour has them do something with carrots.
