Imagine how long that little kid has waited for his episode of TAR.........

He can celebrate by buying razors.

Has Phil ever had to do a mercy elimination in the first episode?

Dana & Adrian from TAR16.  Adrian kept failing at a tightrope Roadblock that Dana clearly should've done, but didn't do just because she was "tired."  On leg one.

Yeah.  Exactly as it sounds.

[Browncoat]

Whew -- at least they made it to the clue box.  And it looks like they might actually catch up at the luchadores.

Or maybe not.

[nilyank]

I love how the teams are trying to remember the Luchadores e.g. Blue Batman.

[Browncoat]

Oh, dude, the double dutch people will do great at this one.

[MerBearHou]

How did the siblings get there??  I missed how they got out of their complete gridlock.

Lots of editing of the 947,000 point turn.

[Lantern7]

Looks like one tough Roadblock.

I’m wondering if any of the wrestlers could be considered handsome. Maybe even luchadorable.

[Browncoat]

What is the first rule of TAR?  READ THE DAMN CLUE!

[dizzyd]

30 minute penalty for not reading the Fing clue.

Or the taskmaster doesn’t give her the clue.

And her teammate told her to read it!!

[nilyank]

She did a lot of attempts and when she finally finishes, she realized something was missing: the ability to read the damn clue.

[iMonrey]

Both of the Detours were pretty wicked. 

Shorter team members should have done Roadblock but they didn't know exactly what it was when they chose.

First CLANG CLANG CLANG of the season!

Saw a cameraman.

[Grizzly]

And the 4'11" person is having the worst time at the rope task.

[Browncoat]

Extended leg!  The siblings are saved!

[Lantern7]

Mega Leg. I was spoiled by the second episode description.

[dizzyd]

Mega leg already 

[nilyank]

Yeah...still racing.

[iMonrey]

They've never done a KEEP RACING leg the first leg! But I kind of don't mind.

[Browncoat]

Wow, the military guys really made up a LOT of time.

What about the season where two teams were eliminated to start, and one of them was Ethan & Jenna?

[dizzyd]

Well I’m disappointed, between survivor and TAR, we don’t have a proper elimination today.

[Quilt Fairy]

How many tries did it take pink girl?

Any other anime fans here? I’m tickled there’s a Rohan in the mix.

@mojoween . . . John Elway?

Yepper!

Always fun to see Read the Clue make an appearance in the first leg.

In my head Sunny and Bizzy is either Sizzy and Bizzy or Sunny and Bunny.

"Anyone can have navigation issues."

Yeah, anyone who is bad at navigation.

I saw at least 23.

Oof. Also, you can say that the teams had to go through several sets of rope loops. 😈

I think more than 18 times before she realized that she didn't read the clue and then a bunch more times.

Yeah but I'm not rooting for anyone to leave yet here. UNLIKE the last episode of Survivor. GRRRRRR.

Noooo, please tell me he didn’t start a trend!

[Lantern7]

Did anyone say the title yet?

[chaifan]

OK, I realize they're from completely different national origins, but am I the only one who looks at Rohan and sees George Santos? 

 

Also, is anyone else having problems getting this page to move?  I'm on an almost new laptop, but this page is freezing every other comment.  grrrr...

Way back near the beginning, when they first got in their cars.  The mom of mom and son said it.

[Quilt Fairy]

Yeah, the Mom of the mother-son team, during the first car ride.

Yeah, the mother/son team did, when they were in the car.

Thanks, everyone!

[Browncoat]

Mega leg, but with an elimination!  Twist!

[iMonrey]

OMG!

[Lantern7]

Ow. Siblings got eliminated anyway. I guess this wasn’t “Great Days” for Rohan.

That was an anime reference. Pay it no mind.

Edited March 14, 2024 by Lantern7

[dizzyd]

Guess megaleg doesn’t mean no elimination. 

[Quilt Fairy]

Huh?

[nilyank]

Okay. I like the twist.

[Browncoat]

Well, Phil did say there were no non-elimination legs this time.

[anniebird]

I didn't think they'd get eliminated but Phil did say, "The last team to get to the pit stop would be eliminated."

Correction: Phil didn't say it - the clue telling them to drive to the pit stop said, "The last team to check in will be eliminated."

Yeah, for a few minutes in this last bit of the show, the page seemed to be frozen — no comments coming in.

And I almost missed that it was an elimination.  My attention wandered for the mat chats once I saw it was a mega leg, assuming that also meant NEL.  Glad I was on this chat, or I would have been really confused.

[iMonrey]

Good start to the season. Nice fake-out with the megaleg. Bye sibs.

[Lantern7]

Next week: older people dropping! Man, I hope they’ll be okay.

[Grizzly]

And Phil still had a clue in his back pocket when the siblings left.
