S36.E06: Our Alliance Strikes Again

[chitowngirl]

Teams compete in double the roadblocks and double the detours on a megaleg in Argentina.
 

Airs 9:30-11:00 (ET) Wednesday April 17 on CBS

[Lantern7]

Survivor was epically fucked up tonight. Can TAR rebound?

[Browncoat]

I like it better when the mega-leg is a surprise.

[dizzyd]

The title doesn’t bode well for curbing the excessive assisting. Megaleg, I need some alcohol to get me through this after the adhd episode of survivor.

[nilyank]

I would cycle although fake cow lassoing seems to be more fun.

[MerBearHou]

I think the bicycling / recycling seems a lot easier than throwing a rope over a moving bull.

[Browncoat]

Oh, that recycling thing is cool!  

Danny sounds like a tour guide.

[Lantern7]

Looks like bola-throwing has a learning curve.

A steep one at that.

We should have one of those bicicletas to recycle in our home!

Angie needs to put him in a headlock and stuff his spare socks in his mouth.

[nilyank]

Why are some teams carrying their backpacks when they are driving themselves?

[Lantern7]

Looks like both Detour options are a pain in the ass.

I wondered that too.  Seems like they ought to be able to leave them in the cars.

[iMonrey]

I thought the bicycle thing would be easier but I guess not.

I don't dislike Danny, but man, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

Isn't there a rule they have to have their papers on them at all times? Probably easier keeping everything together.

[Lantern7]

I’m good with Danny. He’s too friendly, but he’s good people.

[nilyank]

Yeah, I would definitely do bikes. I know that I would miss and my arms would get tired.

[iMonrey]

I'd still be there if I tried doing the throwing thing. Bike thing is hard but doable eventually. Even Danny and Amber got through it.

[Browncoat]

I'd probably do bikes, too, but then I'd be completely knackered.  It is much more straightforward, though.

Don't they still have the Amazing Fanny Pack for that?

[Browncoat]

Derek and Shelisa should have at least finished out their set of 10.  He might have gotten lucky!

[nilyank]

This reminds me of Cars and Lightning McQueen.

[Browncoat]

What happened to Juan and Shane?

[Lantern7]

Yeah, I’d probably get sick in the rally car.

Got lost, asked for directions.

[Lantern7]

“That’s gonna look bad on TV” should’ve been the title quote.

[Browncoat]

Well, they made up time!  Well done, Juan and Shane!

[nilyank]

The lines should be all connecting to one another. It is like a puzzle.

[Browncoat]

Oh, Leticia -- that is definitely incorrect.

[MerBearHou]

Are there extra puzzle pieces?  Because if not, just do a puzzle.

It doesn't look like there are extras.

[MerBearHou]

I didn’t think so either.  

[nilyank]

9 pieces only.

[Quilt Fairy]

It would be more fun if it were a slide puzzle.

[MerBearHou]

Angie needs to pour some of that water on her head and neck.  Major overheated.

[nilyank]

If this is a Megaleg, the last team will still be eliminated. If they take the penalty, they will be really out of it cause they already had the 1sr Detour and 1st RB.

[iMonrey]

This Roadblock just seems like a puzzle test. I'm not even sure going around the track again and again helps. You just have to be good (and fast) at puzzles.

It's a wonder Angie's made it this far if she's this out of shape.

[Good Queen Jane]

These racers sure give up quickly.

Unless they can convince Amber to take the penalty, too.  Then they might have a chance.  Or maybe Leticia, since she's so lost with her puzzle.

They should be using the finish line as the starting point and pick the piece that shows the direction where it goes next and just try connecting the lines.

[Browncoat]

Okay, or not Amber.  

Geez, are Danny and Amber going to wait?  I guess they need their tour guide.

[nilyank]

"Yes, you go run your race"

Thank you Angie.

Go Amber.

[Browncoat]

Wait -- is that kind of helping allowed?

[Lantern7]

Amber is broken up about Angie? WTF?

Aaaaaaaaaand the loopholes for helping were not closed. Super.

[Browncoat]

That seems all kinds of wrong.

[nilyank]

Nope.

Nope.

[MerBearHou]

This is complete BS Amber basically doing the puzzle for Angie.  

[Browncoat]

And for Leticia.

[Jaundiced Eye]

Doing the puzzle for other teams should not be allowed. That's ridiculous.

[Browncoat]

I feel like I've seen this before -- and it looks like fun!
