Seana 5044 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-23-09, 01:16 AM (EST) "Roadblock Tally, TAR 14" Honestly, I just can't help myself. So with another season of TAR comes another thread detailing who did which Roadblock. And the odd comment. Episode 1: No Idea what they called it, but it was bungee jumping off a dam. Prolly “Bungee Jump”. Yeah, let’s go with that. Great big thanks to Devious Weasel for his summary, without which I wouldn’t have any idea who had done this Roadblock. All hail the hirsute one. OK, so: Episode 1: Bungee Jump Pretty self-explanatory, really. Who? Victor, Michael, Luke, Mike, Victoria, Jodi, Kris, Jamie (sigh), Preston, Steve, Jen Episode 2: Paraglide Paraglide (tandem parachute glide) from the top of a mountain. If wind conditions aren't favourable, racers may choose to wait until they improve or hike down the mountain (approx. 1 hour). Who? Tammy, Kris, Mel, Margie, Jen, Christie, Mark, Linda, Victoria, Cara Tally Mark.......1 Michael...1 Tammy...1 Victor.....1 Margie...1 Luke......1 Cara.....1 Jamie...1 Mel.....1 Mike...1 Brad.......0 Victoria...2 Amanda...0 Kris.........2 Kisha...0 Jen.....2 Christie...1 Jodi........1 Eliminated Teams Preston....1 Jennifer...0 Linda......1 Steve......1 Comments - Mel was the only one to actually do the glide. Everyone else chose the hike. - It's been a long time since I really felt for a racer. Poor Linda. I'm glad she got a ride back. I thought about whether she would incur a penalty (if they hadn't come in last). Since she did actually hike down the hill, probably not. - Sorry about the aqua. Brown and maroon look very much alike and yellow is just as bad. I'll switch around the colours as teams with less eye-jarring colours are eliminated. Or hey, maybe Amanda and Kris will screw up and I won't have to bother. Snowiness by tribe   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I have to re-watch the tape. Edit to add: watched it. It was Cara. See, this is what happens when I'm late to the season and miss the first ep. *sigh* - How about these exciting RB names this season, eh? - This would have been fun. Too bad so many people had never heard of Chekhov. I wanted to slap them, but DH got upset with me because he had never heard of him either. Apparently, I'm a pretentious snob.

shimane22 142 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-09-09, 03:08 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Episode 4" You're not a snob, as soon as I heard "Russian playwright" my mind went straight to Chekhov- and this was quickly reinforced as they showed the letters alongside the bobsled run. On the other hand, had I not already been familiar with the name I would have had a devil of a time re-arranging those letters. I guess "Chekhov" is less of a pain than, say, "Solzhenitsyn", but there are still a lot of possible combinations.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

But seeing the letters I probably could have come up with it pretty quick. Even without that, though, there were only 7 letters, and I could probably have logically figured out some good guesses using some basic rules (separating the vowels and the H's, ending with a v is a good first guess in russian, etc)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Maybe 20 minutes? Hardly a marathon. I base this on my time of 8 minutes from high school. That was a while ago, so maybe say 10 minutes now for me to do a mile, and then almost half a mile again, so 15 minutes. Then tack on 5 more for crappy conditions. It would be 20 miserable minutes, that's for sure. - I liked everyone's attitude. Cara, Jen and Christie stand out in my mind particularly. Cara was hoping for cat calls; Jen said she looked hot in her underwear and Christie was worried that her father would be embarrassed. Honourable mention to Victor, who had really wanted to go running in his undies. - If I ever go on TAR, I'll remember to buy all new sports bras and functional, yet pretty matching underwear in addition to the new swimsuit I have always thought I would need.

I can't believe only Victor and Mel figured out to use the basket for the hay right off. WTF was everyone else doing, shoving hay down their shirts or using a pail? Yeah, it's a whole lot easier with the big basket, innit? - Kisha commented that she never even had a pet, but this task was just lugging stuff around, not really taking care of an animal. - I was starting to get a little sick of Mike moaning about how they'd chosen the wrong task and Mel mumbling apologies.

Of course, Michael may very well have done the RB from Ep7, which we didn't see. Even still, Michael will probably end up stuck with all the tasks at the end. - There hasn't been a Fast Forward yet.

Seana 5044 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-09, 02:16 PM (EST) 22. "RE: Episode 9" LAST EDITED ON 04-20-09 AT 02:18 PM (EST) After a bit of searching, I can find a wikipedia entry and a TARflies thread that reference the interview, but not the interview itself. Admittedly, it was not an in-depth search. The upshot is that the FF in Leg 7 involved using your own money to buy supplies for an orphanage. Mel and Mike didn't try for it because they didn't think they would have enough money for the task. They supposed that that was everyone else's line of reasoning, too, since no-one went for the FF. Awww. No-one wanted to get stuff for orphans? So if the pattern holds, we may be due for another FF in Leg 11. Let's see what Phil says. "This is the only FF..." "This is the last of two FF's..."

What's her secret, I wonder? - If saying "uncle" just resets the clock to the beginning and you have to go through the whole thing again, who in their right mind would say "uncle"? - If that tea is the kind I think it is, I developed a taste for that in high school. My best friend was Chinese. She introduced me to all kinds of interesting food, like the sesame balls with red bean paste inside. Gods, I love those things. Anyway, the tea looks like a bunch of little sticks in the bottom of your cup and has an odd flavour that I eventually found comforting. Go figure.

I think Tammy gritted her teeth and tried not to scream out loud because she wanted to make everyone think she was enjoying the Chinese experience.

"RE: Episode 10" I think Tammy was the only one trying to relax and calm down, instead of tense up. And I wondered why anyone would cry uncle, too.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Episode 10" This roadblock could have been designed better- instead of having them re-start the massage from the beginning (why would anyone be dumb enough to choose that?), they could have set it up with a 20-minute penalty or something for the quitters... I think some of the teams might have taken that...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

No drama, she just got it done. I can respect that. - Margie looked disappointed when she said "It's gotta be me." I wonder if it was just her turn or if Luke had 6. - All teams have the same 5-5 ratio now, apparently. I wonder if they're all, in fact 5-6. Thanks a bunch, TAR Producers.

So perhaps there just wasn't an RB on Leg 7? Or there are new rules that despite the Lazy-a$$ Kim Rule, either team member may do the final RB? I think last season, both teammates did the final task of placing pictures from the legs in order. I seem to remember a field of clue boxes... - Luke really seemed to have it until he got to that skull. What task did he think that was? - I actually wish Luke hadn't helped Jaime, because he and Margie, though I didn't like them, did very well this leg. I was especially impressed at how they motored through the pig-carrying. Anyway, I think if Luke had managed to calm down a bit, he'd have figured out his mistake. Jaime, by her own admission, would never have gotten the first one. - This stupid Roadblock took up over half the show. Booooooorrrrinnggg.
