For the first time, the votes for the mandatory U-turn are in and one team must complete both detours in India, bundling up flowers and transporting building materials on rickshaws in the bustling streets of Jaipur.

Survivor was insane. Can TAR keep up?

[susannot]

That was incredible.  Go Kaleb!!

[Lamb18]

I thought they would do the U-Turn vote as they leave the pit stop. Or maybe after they checked in af the pit stop the day before.

[Lantern7]

I guess they’ll find out who got the votes when they get to the Detour.

[Browncoat]

I like the U-turn board.  I can't tell the timing of the vote, though.  It could have been at the end of the last leg, after they checked in, or it could have been on their way to the mat for the rip-and-read.

[dizzyd]

I have bought mojaris at Nagra and had a close encounter with a dancing cobra in front of the hawa Mahal, lol.

Heh. Random camel.

And eyebrow selfie.

Wow.  Second place was almost an hour behind.

Nice!  Electric rickshaws driven by women!

[Lantern7]

Car puzzle. Neat.

[dizzyd]

Looks like Steve and AL cleared the rickshaw lot for everyone. Gosh is she bossy! 

[EllenB]

Does Anna Leigh ever say PLEASE?

[Lantern7]

Looks like Anna Leigh is gonna be extra irritated today.

And extra irritating.

[Browncoat]

Close vote.

[chicagofan]

Well at least they did what we asked - put the detour near the beginning of the leg so the u-turned team has a fighting chance.

Robbin & Chelsea would’ve been screwed. Steve & Anna Leigh have a decent headstart.

Yeah, I don't get why anyone would vote for them.  Their first place was a fluke. 

[Lamb18]

I can't believe Chelsea? or Robbin walked off with the monocular. Someone else was about to but the vendor got it back from them.

[Browncoat]

TAR 101 -- read the clue!

[Lamb18]

Weren't Anna Leigh and Steve supposed to give the receipt to the flowers vendor before they go to the next detour?

Yep, and the bricks guy called them on it.

[Ladybugnine]

Did Morgan/Lena just ask the rickshaw driver if she had gas? I thought they were electric.

[anniebird]

I wonder why he didn't let them get to the pit stop to be told by Phil that they hadn't completed the task.

 

[Lamb18]

I thought maybe Steve and Anna Leigh would get all the way to the pit stop and then told by Phil to go back to the flower vendor or else be given a time penalty.

Don't they have to ride the bicycle?

[MerBearHou]

Forever known as the Out-of-Towners — love them!

[dizzyd]

I like the environmental friendliness of Jaipur considering how much smog there is in some areas of India. Out of towners does not get old 😂Even their rickshaw driver was getting entertained by them. 

Edited November 2, 2023 by dizzyd

[Quilt Fairy]

These are 2 equivalent detour tasks, and I don't understand why anyone would want to lug bricks over flowers!

[anniebird]

Every time Malaina says, "Out of towner! Out of towner!" in her funny little voice it makes me laugh.

Right?  Bundles of flowers in an electric rickshaw vs 50 bricks in a pedaled rickshaw?  No contest.  Flowers all the way.

[Lantern7]

Is the pack muddled for anyone else?

[Browncoat]

Props to AL for pedaling that rickshaw full of bricks!

[Quilt Fairy]

I'm loving all the extra little route tasks.  Reminds me of old school TAR as well as some of the best international versions. 

[Lantern7]

Random monkeys!

[Browncoat]

Oooh, those are lovely block prints.

Yeah, but doing that task takes patience and a steady hand.

[Lantern7]

“Cacophony of chaos.” Phil’s word game is on point.

[dizzyd]

Looking like 1 bro team is 1st and the other last. ☹️ they were pretty.

[Grizzly]

Geez I hope Phil doesn't get hurt standing out there in the middle of traffic.

[Quilt Fairy]

At least they get credit for the birds they do get right, and don't have to start from the beginning. 

[Lantern7]

Greg & John with the wild celebration . . . and they can go to New Zealand!

[Browncoat]

Nice job, Greg and John!  And I'm jealous of the trip to New Zealand! 

[hendersonrocks]

These are some tough tasks!

Steve is so much more pleasant than his daughter.

I don’t understand how the two brothers at the back are so consistently struggling at everything.

Happy for the two brothers on the opposite end of the spectrum - great win this leg.

[anniebird]

I get so annoyed at people who take things like getting U-Turned personally. It's a game, dude! You'd do it if the tables were turned.

 

[dizzyd]

TAR should go to NZ, it’s so gorgeous!

[Browncoat]

Good grief, AL.  Let it go.

[Lantern7]

‘She’ll catch it when she sees it on TV” should’ve been the episode title.

They have before -- it's where I learned about Rotorua and the Zorb. 

[Lantern7]

Joel with the hug. Questionable, but cute.

[Browncoat]

Stop hugging the judges!  That judge kind of didn't want to be hugged.
