yikesss there were some bad looks for Corinne on this episode. i laughed out loud when she called that rando 107 years old but correlating mopeds with growing up in a trailer park and then all the shit she said about Rachel and Elissa... mmm just not the best. i personally like rachel and elissa but i do understand people find them annoying. however, I don't think they deserved to get the venom that corinne and eliza were sending their way- like, they were trying to be nice on the mat. idk. I think corinne and eliza can be really funny but it was a pretty ugly boot episode for them, especially the way the last 45 seconds played out. soooo happy for chris and bret. they're so great. janelle and britney are a lot of fun rachel is always gonna bring the drama wherever she goes, which is great a lot of the TAR teams bore me. at least tyler and korey can be funny at times. i think team fun is way over hyped. colin and christie are snoozefests but i am hoping colin's groan when they turned around means that he'll start to let some of his old ways shine idk i hope a TAR team leaves next.

Oh that's much better than I thought i did. Really thought I had screwed up more this round

The polar bear was cute! But I didn't like how this episode basically let all the teams catch up in the beginning of the leg. I have been pleasantly surprised and impressed by Chris and Bret this leg. I love how they always seem to be having a great time. Love their energy and they have definitely grown on me. Wish we got more of Janelle and Britney cus I can never get enough of Britney. Zen Elissa is much better at keeping Rachel more calm when she gets stressed compared to Brendon. Yeah, that mat was awkward. Kinda agree on Colin & Christie. i've heard so much from people who love them, but they have made the least impression on me so far. This cast is so good though, and I will prob be sad whenever we lose a team moving forward.

This round, omg. Thoughts on teams in no particular order.

First - Colin & Christie - why are they here? I feel NOTHING for them. Victor & Nicole - He's doing everything, she does NOTHING. I can't root for them. I can't wait for a Roadblock Nicole HAS to do that she's terrible at. It has to be coming. Leo & Jamal - meh, I'm over their cockiness. They're good tho. Chris & Bret - good for them but still far from my faves. Props to them tho because that speed bump didn't seem all that easy, but once they made the "snowballs" it was fast. Rachel & Elissa - idk why they couldn't figure out that water thing. Rachel, calm down! I was impressed that Elissa finished the moped challenge, tho. Janelle & Britney - Janelle is a fucking BADASS! I love them so much! Janelle: "Now we're in a water fight with these Vietnamese Men!" lol'd ... THANK GOD THEY'RE SAFE! Tyler & Korey - meh ok. They're all hype. The Tyler/Britney exchange was super cute tho while their partners were doing the work. Eliza & Corinne - Please please please don't break my heart! I need them in the race. Eliza finally finishing the moped challenge was great. LOL they stood in the boat because they thought the distracters were showing them how to do it. so funny. Corinne: "I HATE manual labor." Me too, girl. Me, too. Team Fun - can leave asap. Just F off. If it's between Eliza/Corinne and Rachel/Elissa - definitely rooting for Eliza/Corinne. Race for the finish! Oh no.... I'm mixed. I wanted Rachel/Elissa to stay in over some teams but I'm SO SAD to lose Eliza/Corinne. :( Note to Amazing Race producers: Non-elims back to back please. Bummer. :( :( :( Kinda funny with how much Eliza/Corinne hate Rachel/Elissa tho lol. Oh but they're crying so not that funny. Ugh. I didn't like this episode overall.

Finally got to watch. 10000% wanted the other team in that last two footrace to get eliminated, but otherwise, pretty solid ep.

This is not on tonight due to Survivor so I guess next epi is next week right? Just checking that we have another week to get out rankings in?

That’s correct! And next week’s episode is two hours, but you’ll send in one ranking.

I’ll do the first round as normal, then I’ll remove the eliminated team (assuming there is one) from everyone’s lists. Then for the second round, I’ll use that same list for the 7 remaining teams.

Does that make sense? Lol.

Also anyone who has submitted is free to resubmit before deadline next week

Week 5 I think? I also hope one of the TAR teams leave even though they are three of the strongest. That kinda sucks actually, that they put four such strong TAR teams in and stacked the deck against Survivor/BB (besides Victor of course). Also, I just realized the twinnies s/b in this season. :(

twinnies are s/b? what does that mean?

also just sent mine to Spider! Should be a good week- i'm excited!

EDIT: oh, you meant should be. :( yeahhhhh i feel like TAR casuals hate them tho?

This is why I didn’t watch the season

Rachel and Elissa are literally the worst. they are brutal.

To be fair, Rachel is the worst. Elissa tries to calm her down.
