[chitowngirl]

Racers travel to Bali, Indonesia, where the first team to arrive must make a difficult decision.

This is the LIVE CHAT THREAD

Airdate March 26, 2025 on CBS

[Lantern7]

Helluva Survivor tonight. Can TAR keep up the momentum?

[Rodney]

Here we go!

Oh, yeah.  Here comes the Driver's Seat.

Scott & Lori going to a travel agent?  Smart!

[Pepper the Cat]

After a very emotional Survivor here I am. Still have my wine. Cat number 1 is still asleep. Cat #2 is now making love to the paper bag his dry food came in.

[Lantern7]

In front are Eight Sons, D&D and Jonathana, right?

[Rodney]

Jonathan & Ana are sure that Carson & Jack and Scott & Lori won't screw them over with the Driver's Seat, and vice versa.  They're all agreeing to use it on someone behind them.

[Browncoat]

First time we see the Driver's Seat, and I already hope it's the last time.

Yes.

Looks like all of the teams will be on the same flight.

Oops!  Spoke too soon!  Bernie & Carrigain are the only team on the second flight.

I think that they'll catch up, though, if everyone's arriving at night.

So both shows skipped their openings tonight.  Damn.

Maybe it won’t be so bad. And at least TAR would dump something that doesn’t work, as opposed to doubling down.

Figuratively, right?

We'll see, but I'm not optimistic.

Thank goodness!

[iMonrey]

WIth only one trailing team I suspect HOO coming up. I'm ready for a bunch.

[Browncoat]

Bunch!

[chaifan]

Did anyone catch when the 2nd flight arrived?  

The first flight said it arrived at 4:20pm, but then in the next shot it was dark out.  

[Lantern7]

Aw, the helmets have names on them. So cute!

[Browncoat]

I think they said something like 9:30?  It was a lot later.

[iMonrey]

Not really a bunch then if they have numbers.

At nine.

[chaifan]

A bunching on the flight, then HOO.  Did they say at what intervals is between everyone going out on the ATV's?

 

[Rodney]

Pops & Jeff's exchange was LOL.

[Browncoat]

That is a narrow tunnel!

[Rodney]

Whoo!  A drive through a narrow tunnel!

[susannot]

Can't wait to see Bali.

How did Jack and Carson fall so far behind?

[Lantern7]

“Mario Kart Fantasy.”

Rainbow Road would be a great Pit Stop.

[Quilt Fairy]

Beautiful waterfall.

[Rodney]

Only thing that gets me about the ride here is that there's no chance of passing someone during it.

[Quilt Fairy]

Unless you're giving some of it to him, the taxi driver does not care you're in a race for a million dollars. 

[chaifan]

Ugh.  I hate this drivers seat thing.  Just cut the gimmicks and let people race.

 

[Rodney]

Uh-oh.  Looks like the Driver's Seat will come into play here.

[Lantern7]

“Driver’s Seat.” Singular.

Sounds pretty neat. Reminds me of one game from the short-lived revival of The Mole from ABC.

[Rodney]

Commercial before we see on whom Jonathan & Ana will use the Driver's Seat.

[susannot]

I love waterfalls.

[iMonrey]

Hmm. The ATV ride seemed gratuitous. The Drivers Seat thing just came down to who had the best taxi driver.

That was such a good show

Agreed.  I don't like these unnecessary gimmicks.

[Grizzly]

I think they decide for all the other teams.

Right? Fuck ABC for opting towards The Bachelor. Do you remember the game I’m bringing up?

Actually, everything up until the roadblock was meaningless.  They obviously were all given the address of the one travel agency that was open between 2 and 4am, it didn't matter what flight they got on since there was an HOO, and the ATVs were so close together, and obviously on a closed circular route, that there was no chance of switching order.

 

 

[Lantern7]

Express Pass gets broken out!

[Browncoat]

Do they HAVE to do the Driver's Seat?  I mean, could they choose not to Driver's Seat anyone else?

And that seems extra -- Driver's Seat everyone, then skip the task.

 

[chaifan]

It would have been better if the "Driver's Seat" would have been given to the team that completed the roadblock first, instead of just arrived there first.

 

[Rodney]

Oh, no, Jonathan & Ana.  Bernie & Carrigain are a weaker team.  Hindering them seems unwise when you have stronger teams you could've hit.

[iMonrey]

WHAT? They were in the lead. Why blow the Express Pass?

[MerBearHou]

Seriously!  How can they not finish first tonight??

No I don’t. Sorry. I just remember loving the first season of this show.

[Browncoat]

25 pounds is a LOT of rice.

[mojoween]

Scott is an unconscious misogynist, or do you think he knows what he’s doing?

[Rodney]

Lori taking the twenty-five pounds (the highest amount) like a champ, to her credit.

And Brett & Mark got the rare incompetent cabbie.  He's gotten them lost.

[Pepper the Cat]

Oh oh. Taxi drama

 

[dizzyd]

Oh no this taxi driver really didn’t care, they’re screwed

[Browncoat]

Oh no!  And did Brett and Mark also get assigned 25 pounds of rice?  I already don't remember.
