S36.E04: Those Who Wander Are Not Lost

[iMonrey]

The incessant pop-up ads for Elsbeth are annoyingly intrusive.

[Lantern7]

Only thing missing from the Sunny/Bizzy interviews is a janitor sweeping behind them.

[dizzyd]

Omg, they switched to the harder detour!

[WatcherUp2]

Which is worse, the twins switching tasks after barely trying last week, or sticking with one for 34 tries before switching?

[Lantern7]

Helping? Boooooooooo!!!

[nilyank]

Nope. With this helping.

 

RAAACCCEEE!!!!!

I mean I guess I get why Amber helped Danny, but still, it's a RACE. 

OMG.  I'm glad she finally found the map.

More helping?  Stop with the helping already!

[nilyank]

This is a better use of helping.

[Lantern7]

I guess Danny isn’t conflicted about getting help.

Dang, the greeter has a lot of hats.

Is the prize cash taxable?

[Browncoat]

That's a lot of hats on that greeter.

[Lantern7]

Man, Shelisa’s botched the map.

It took the firefighters one shot to get the breakdancing?!? I call bullshit.

Edited April 4, 2024 by Lantern7

[nilyank]

And they were the only to get it on the first try.

[Browncoat]

Are they just randomly putting statue names on the map and hoping for the best?

[WatcherUp2]

Is the person not doing the task allowed to be that involved with the other team they've decided to work with? I kind of hope they get dinged for it.

[dizzyd]

And we were all writing off Angie 2 weeks ago. Nice jump to 3.

[Lantern7]

Congratulations, Angie & Danny! Puzzle solving paid off!

Ugh. More helping. I guess loopholes weren’t closed after all.

[Grizzly]

Maybe Danny should get on Survivor.

[nilyank]

Michelle don't got it.

Whuh oh, the firefighters caught up.

I was hoping he would take the hats off and give them to the Racers as they arrived at the mat

That would have been awesome.

[Lantern7]

Phil toys with the grandparents. Still not as dickish as Probst, though.

[dancingdreamer]

Omg, I thought  the mural puzzle was far easier than the hip hop. That was until Sunny and Bizzy couldn't  get it, they were so wrong..it's  funny how some things just won't click. I loved Phil jumping rope with the last team.
Danny and his mum came in third, well done! 

 

[nilyank]

Oooh Phil played a trick on them.

[dizzyd]

What come from behind for team fire.

[Browncoat]

Heh.  "Muchos sombreros!"

[WatcherUp2]

How can they keep getting so many answers so wrong after that many tries? Is that a theme this episode?

[chaifan]

I'm normally not a fan of teams helping each other, but I think it was done right in this leg.  Amber helping Danny is relationship building, didn't cost them any time, and they may need the favor returned down the road.  Also, from a strategy perspective, it's better to keep a "weaker" (physically) team in the game.

The teams working together on the botero challenge made sense, too.  At that point, they knew they weren't first, and all that matters is not being last.  Nothing to lose by working together.

And hey, I was wrong, the girlfriends survived.  But, damn, they really had a loser edit there in the beginning.

Yes.

[Lantern7]

Cousins are going to burn out the way they angst.

Damn, Double Dutch screwed up. At least they’re taking elimination well. And they’re giving Phil a lesson! And they winged a cameraman!

Edited April 4, 2024 by Lantern7

[nilyank]

Damnit.

"Are we first backwards"

 

[dizzyd]

The cousins are so annoying. Why did they think they were last when they knew Sean and Michelle were still at the museum?

[Browncoat]

Ha!  Smacked the poor camera person with the jump rope!  Hooray for Phil -- he did great!

[Grizzly]

Love Phil. 

[Good Queen Jane]

Phil double dutching! Yay!

Panic-induced amnesia?

"That'll make the cut!"

They're gonna burn ME out. I have very little goodwill left toward them. I was yelling "There's no crying in Amazing Race!" when the tall one was blubbering.

This posted about 2 minutes before team Double Dutch arrived on the mat on my TV.  What dark magic are you working???

[MerBearHou]

Awesome way to end the sad departure of Sean and Michelle!  They got Phil jump-roping!  Way to go, leaving with their spirits up and heads held high.

We sometimes  watch the show early( 4.30pm my time) sorry. 

[dizzyd]

I only just realized the title quote is one of team fire’s ridiculous guesses. 

[anniebird]

Watching this season just reminds me how much I liked the teams last season.

[TheRabbi]

This was the best episode in a couple seasons. Sure you can already probably tell who the final 3 will be because most of the other teams are such trainwrecks, but this season has been pretty entertaining so far. Plus, that shot of the dog coming down the escalator was one of the all-time Amazing Cameramen shots.

How?  How do you watch TAR "early"??? 

I still think dark magic is at hand...

While I loved last season, I am really enjoying the detours and roadblocks for this group so far.

[Lantern7]

I guess the bottom line is to never give up.

I thought they were toast. They screwed up on the rebus puzzle 31 times. THIRTY ONE. What was a relative cakewalk for other teams turned into a nightmare . . . a nightmare so bad, they had to switch Detours. I still call bullshit on them getting the breakdancing on the first try. The judge might have just waved them on for all we know.

Good episode, even with the cracks showing for several teams. And we had the funniest ending since Phil went “oy vey” at the guy who held onto the Express Pass into elimination. Him trying double-dutch with Michelle & Sean shows why he’s the superior host over Jeff Probst.

I loved that dog, he followed  the instructions  on the escalator

For some reason TAR was available to me 3 hours earlier than the normal scheduled time.  This has never happened before.  So I started watching, got about halfway through, then made the mistake of changing channel, and it was no longer available when I tried to go back.  Weird.

Whatever, I'll watch the end during its regular time.

its not it's - grrr

[mertensia]

Cute dog!

I will never feel stupid about not getting a rebus correct again.

Okay, after a certain point on the map you place one until you get the position right then go from there.

Also, did Yvonne and Melissa join the Race this episode? I swear I haven't seen them before.
