Teams start a Megaleg in Bologna, Italy, where they must cart an 88-pound wheel of parmigiano cheese and build a Ducati Panigale V4 motorcycle.

Original airdate 10/5/22

This is your LIVE CHAT thread

[iMonrey]

Mega Leg? We know what that means. TBC.

[Lantern7]

Starting at 9:59. Friggin’ CBS . . .

I’m used to Air TAR. It’s nice.

Apparently, giantesses aren’t born with the ability to drive stick.

“Bone up on their anatomy.” I see what you did there, Phil.

[Lamb18]

So is the anatomical challenge based on that one board game - I forgot what it was called - and I think you had to put different body parts in him, or something like that. I'm going back 50 or so years in memory. need to do a Google search.

Found the anatomical game - it's called Operation!

Isn’t learning how to drive stick for tar synonymous with learning to build a fire for survivor?

 I wouldn’t need to listen to the lecture to get the anatomy right, 1 thing I’d be good at lol.

Operation.

My thought as well .. . though it’s possible to squeeze all Detours and Roadblocks into 61 minutes.

No, you had to pull body parts from the “patient.”

[Lamb18]

I named two twin girl calves Emily and Molly. Emily likes to lie around in the grass while Molly likes to run around and play with the other calves. They were born a few days ago.

[Lantern7]

Cute doggies. Jack Russells?

Nice. I hope you find a way to share that with Emoly.

Love me some fresh Parmesan cheese!

[Lamb18]

I'd rather play the Amazing Race Operation! detour.

[iMonrey]

I'd be tempted to break off a small piece of the cheese and try it. I want cheese now.

I’m not into cheese. How fragrant would a 40-kilo block of cheese be, especially after its chopped in two?

That’s also how they go the length of the season without non elims. 

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, the two classic TAR mistakes: not reading the clue fully, and not learning to drive stick shift before the show.

[Lantern7]

CBS Weather people aren’t screwing around. Anyone remember the old SNL bit with Tim Meadows as the aggressive weatherman?

Edited October 6, 2022 by Lantern7

[Lamb18]

Isn't the femur in your leg?

There was another challenge where they had to sit in a classroom and listen to some lecturer, then take a quiz. I remember them climbing up some stairs.

Dom's husband just needs to manifest.

[Lantern7]

The teacher’s English is good. The accent really makes it special. He could ask if any Racers find his lecture “humerus,” and he’d still come off as wise.

Edited October 6, 2022 by Lantern7

[Lamb18]

Well at least the body parts aren't named in Italian.

I don’t but that description makes me want to find it — sounds fantastic!

Does anyone else kinda want to punch the woman with all of the platitudes?  Her partner is obviously used to them.   Yikes.

[Pepper the Cat]

I’m an RN and I am not sure I could do that test in the time limit allowed.

I don't want to punch her, but I want to see an Amazing Meltdown.

[Pepper the Cat]

Why is Dom wearing a mask inside the car??

[iMonrey]

I already know most of the body parts and I didn't even take anatomy in college. I would have just focused on the few I didn't know. I think I would have crushed that.

Bwah! This is why I'm not crazy about that team, they are kind of full of it.

Try here. Low quality, though.

Oof, that would’ve been awful. And hilarious.

Ok, you’re right, it would be very bad karma for me to punch Dom.

Coz there’s a camera person in the passenger seat. 

[Lantern7]

Teams are missing the Detour by one body part. Pretty good, right?

Edited October 6, 2022 by Lantern7

[Lamb18]

No hugging the teacher, that's for sure!

But the camera man has been there all along. Why suddenly a mask? And frankly it looks like a very poorly fitting mask.

[dizzyd]

Ducati is a pretty cool challenge. This is why I love tar besides the travel porn, they’re so superior to other reality shows. 

[Lady Whistleup]

Derek and Claire seem to work really well together. Neither get stressed easily.

[MerBearHou]

Derek is so good-natured.  Loved him goofy-running to Marcus and jumping into his arms, then laughing at himself calling the motorcycle a car.  

[Lantern7]

Twenty minutes left. Why am I dreading Rich & Dom beating Team Snu-Snu to the mat?

Edited October 6, 2022 by Lantern7

[Lamb18]

Wow, that one racer looks like Angelina from America's Next Top Model.

I'm dreading it, too.

[Lantern7]

Looks like “Ducati” is Italian for “leveler.” I wouldn’t be shocked if all ten teams work that Roadblock at the same time.

Since it is a Mega Leg, I’m assuming tbc.

I’m thinking that as well. You can just imagine Phil telling us that every leg ends in elimination, but he didn’t say a leg would be confined to one episode.

The Ducati thing looks hard. But I appreciate the tougher tasks, as opposed to the "line up here and do a zip line" types.

[Lantern7]

Claire is never going to let go of the yodeling, will she?

[Lamb18]

Sounded like Derek was almost going to say something helpful to Claire, then caught himself.

So the Ducati workers will have to take those motorcycles apart and rebuild them.

[Lantern7]

Sweet moment with Derek and Dom.

[Lady Whistleup]

This roadblock looks really hard for people who don't know how to assemble motorcycles.

Omg sending energy from the universe? I can't.

[EllenB]

Dom is so damn performative.

[iMonrey]

I don't like people who talk about the universe.

[Lamb18]

I've noticed we aren't shown people opening their clues and saying where they go or what they do next, so I guess we find out next Wednesday!

Onward to Florence!! Cool!

[Lantern7]

Well, at least Glenda and Lumumba aren’t breaking out in last place. I can see them vaulting back to the front of the pack, even without bunching.

“Dom Is breaking down. Must be Wednesday!”

I know, it's as bad as the ones who are always throwing God or Jesus around like they're the special pets of their deities.
