S35.E03: No Sleep and a Million Dollar Dream LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

The teams feel the strain of commercial travel and float their way through the Mekong Delta as they are challenged between making rice paper or customizing a scooter by wrapping it in vinyl in Vietnam.

Original airdate 10/11/23

Tonight’s Survivor was gas. Can TAR keep the heat going?

[Browncoat]

I'm trying to pay attention to departure times this week.  I hope they show all of them!

I so enjoy the return of the travel agencies and booking their own flights.

[dizzyd]

I expect TAR to always be the superior show so yes.

[Quilt Fairy]

Wow, 30 minutes between 1st and 2nd teams and 50 minutes between 2nd and 3rd.   

[Lamb18]

The vets are funny--like their strategy!

[dizzyd]

Wow what a twist with the flights so 2 of the last teams are the 1st to leave. The things we missed during Covid.

luck of the travel agent....

[MerBearHou]

“Out of towners” makes me laugh!!  

[Lamb18]

It's weird to see paper tickets. It seems electronic tickets on your phone is the way to go nowadays.

[Browncoat]

Airport drama!

I still will get a paper ticket in case I can't get my phone charged.

[Lamb18]

So seats must have opened up on the 1:50. Oh oh departure time changed to 3:00.

That one lady (best friends team) is sure snooty. So charming to go frog hunting . . .

[dizzyd]

I love the sleeper bus. I’ve been on sleeper trains but not buses. 

[Browncoat]

I sense a bunch coming up.

[Lamb18]

Those are nice buses to Futa!

[Lantern7]

As someone who naps on buses, I am intrigued by the idea of full-on sleeping on one.

[Lamb18]

This is really like old-time TAR!

[Lantern7]

I may have missed it . . . did the teams have to use the same travel agent?

Same travel agency, but not the same agent.

[PaperTree]

After all that airport drama, we bunch up at the dock in the morning.     LOL

[Browncoat]

How did a 5:45 ticket get mixed in with the later ones?

[Lantern7]

Daughter Anna Leigh gets the title quote.

The guy with the long beard did that I believe. 

[chicagofan]

I guess they couldn't go old school and try to get wait listed on the 1:50 p.m. flight. By they I mean those on the delayed and late flights.

[Quilt Fairy]

I saw them tossing fruit on the previews during Survivor and thought they were showing a scene from last week!  

[Browncoat]

I am having a terrible time keeping up with who's who and where they are!

Same here. The cable glitching on me doesn’t help.

[anniebird]

I am wondering why no one tried to get waitlisted on an earlier flight.

 

[Quilt Fairy]

I just realized this is just a route task.

[dizzyd]

The express pass was needed to be used. 

[PaperTree]

Can't they move the basket closer to the door?

Smart use of the express pass, about to expire anyway

I figured it had to be used on a Detour or Roadblock.

[Quilt Fairy]

They had one more leg, I would've waited. 

[Browncoat]

All that and they forgot the clue???

I might have waited at least until the next task.

[Ladybugnine]

oooh, Ian and Joe forgot to get their clue!

[dizzyd]

I knew the 15 minute times were going to cause bunching but that was extreme bunching to where they had to wait in line for their turn at the boats. 

[Pepper the Cat]

I am so confused right now. I don’t know where anyone is or how my fav teams are doing

[Lantern7]

Edible paper? Tell me more . . .

[MerBearHou]

Agreed — I think this process seems so interesting.  Can’t wait to watch.

[Browncoat]

Both of these tasks look challenging!  The girls might regret using that Express Pass.

[MerBearHou]

I could be way wrong but I think the plastic seems the harder of the two.  Those bubbles…ugh.

[Quilt Fairy]

When I saw Phil on the scooter, I thought the task choices might be Paper or Paper. 

[Lantern7]

Cute stray dog.

Beard guy Joel does crepes. I would have bet against that.

[PaperTree]

The plastic looks really hard.

Vietnam seems to be doing quite well.

[Lantern7]

Rice paper looks like the thinnest pancakes possible.

[MerBearHou]

I think the transport of the rice paper to the drying rack is going to be tough — they’ll tear?

[Browncoat]

Those sheets would make some ginormous spring rolls!
