S09.E05: This Is Not a Hot Girl Moment

[The Crazed Spruce]

Quote

Teams travel to Tofino and Ucluelet, B.C., where things get icy before they take a dive.

Well, that ending sucked. Wish it had been a non elim.

I’m over Justin. Still love his partner.  

Sucks the friends went home, but the other friends used the X correctly.

I'm sad about Gracie/Lily going home. I really, really liked them and was so excited to see them do well. Unfortunately, this was just not their leg, but I'm glad they went out with their heads held high. They were great racers, as well. They just got lost and cost them dearly.

Justin is just awful. He doesn't feel bad about almost quitting ANOTHER task AND tries to blame Jermaine for, I guess, being controlling and needing to take over the task. Well, no shit he had to do that, Justin. You were whining about not being able to do the task! You were two seconds away from quitting! I feel bad for Jermaine, who seems great, that he gets stuck with a whiny quitter who doesn't even feel remorse about it.

I'm glad to see Tyler/Kayleen do well. Kayleen has been beasting the tasks and it's fantastic to see her complete the tasks so quickly. And I'm glad to see Devon/Amanda jump up from the bottom to the middle of the pack.

Now that Gracie/Lily are gone, Ty/Kat are back at the top of my list. I loved Ty's banter with Derek and Jaspal. It did feel more friendly, which was fun.

I really, really liked that small scene at the start where the teams were having that bonfire. It was so great to see them just chat and bond as a group.

Hopefully now that Gracie/Lily are gone, Derek and Jaspal will calm down on their incensant "gotta beat our rivals" narrative they've been creating, because I don't think Ty and Kat play that game like G/L did.

I may be a lone dissenter, but I wasn't that sorry to see them leave. They were competent racers, but there was something about them that bugged me. Gracie's laugh was nails on a chalkboard too.

Kayleen calmly saying "I'm a commercial diver" was great. I was surprised at how many of the contestants had diving certifications.

Jermaine had me in stitches with his line about coming back for the solo edition of the race. He is a saint for how well he's put out with Justin's BS.

I don’t have it for next week either, but it shows up the following week.

I am seeing ads on CTV that the next episode is Aug 15

[zapper]

imdb.com also lists the next episode's broadcast date as Aug 15.

[perkie1968]

Thanks @zapper and @pepper the cat!

It's weird though, since there is nothing on the schedule or a holiday on the 8th that would bump it off for a week.   I just need my John fix!!!

I was said to see Gracie & Lily go; they were really growing on me in spite of one of them having a horrific donkey laugh. 

I always thought that when one team member had to do a task, and they picked the person, then that was that. There was no switching. Yet, Jermaine took over the diving task because Justin couldn’t/wouldn’t do it. I was surprised that that was allowed. Because Gracie/Lily was afraid of deep water (sorry, don’t know which one) but they didn’t switch even though it would have gone faster.

Was the diving task a detour? In that case, they can switch if only one person needs to perform it. On a road block, there is no switching.

[zapper]

yes that was it, i believe that Jermaine said something to that effect.

The guide on my cable box only shows one.

(Gentle reminder, discussions about the show's scheduling would be better suited for a different thread. The media one, maybe?)
