Whoa, really?  Being American, my CTV here in NY gives me American shows instead of this one, so I can't see this show.  Are you implying that all three women's teams remaining nailed the top three?

Yummy, you can eat brains or Bison Balls.I must say most of them were pretty good about it.

I was happy to see Liv and her partner  come in first, and get a trip to Italy

Ty did very well dancing,  when he  can't hear the music very well, he looked pretty handsome on that stage..

Colins knees really bothered him, I can't recall if he hurt them before, or during the race. 

Double trouble did well, I really like them. I'm  so sorry Brad and Sam came in last. One of my favourite couples, I'm still hoping Kevin and Gurleen get eliminated

It was lovely seeing Jons mom

I  love that the team that Kevin and Gurleen tried to get rid of last episode (and a team that they labelled as much weaker) won this leg. Fantastic! 

That said I didn't really enjoy this epi. I hate food related challenges, and it is one of the reasons I stopped watching TAR years ago. I also in general find dance related challenges boring. So overall not my fav epi.

Does TARC think that brining in a "villian" team adds to the drama? It doesn't. I much prefer seasons where teams are competitive but not obnoxious.

Agreed. Kevin is too much of a wannabe mustache-twirling villain for TAR. 

Given her stink face anytime something doesn't go her way, I'm guessing Gurleen hasn't heard "no" much in her life.

Double Trouble is really growing on me as a team.

I've heard Jon do a keynote, and he talks a lot about his hometown and how it shaped him. Glad the race could go there! I wonder if the timing was coincidental or planned that it aligned with the Olympics being on.

Eh, it's not surprising.  He tried way too hard to be that on BB Canada, too.  Both times.

It seems you can go most of your life without hearing about pig brains and now they've shown up twice this week on my tv - on BBQ Brawl and TARC. 

I didn't think the brains or the "oysters" were cooked attractively - in fact they looked raw.

Yup!

There was a lot of gagging, though. The brains didn’t look cooked enough. I think the balls would have been a better choice. Depends on texture.

Kevin and Gurleen can go anytime. Kevin has a punchable face.

Completely agree. Of course, she has to talk about a ring; I’m guessing she’s one of these fiancée-zillas who micromanages what kind of ring she gets and it has to cost as much as 5 mortgage payments. (And then whines that they can’t afford the kind of upscale house she wants)

They had their villain moment, were proven wrong, and humiliated. They’ve served their purpose. I give that relationship a year, tops. Gurl, you need to escape that toxic asshole.

Remember Dave and Irina?  Everybody hated them so very much.

Clearly they haven't learned their lesson about the villains.
