PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR 16 Roadblock Tally" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-17-10 AT 03:10 PM (EST)Hello again! Another season of TAR, another set of tasks that only one team member may perform. Episode 1: Walk Cable Walk across a cable suspended 120 feet in the air. Who? Caite, BB Jordan, Joe, Allie, Dan, Brandy, Shawne, Adrian, Louie, Shannon, Cord Tally Brent....0 Caite.....1 Jet......0 Cord....1 Steve....0 Allie......1 Dan.......1 Jordan...0 Jordan....1 Jeff........0 Jodi.........0 Shannon....1 Louie...1 Mike.....0 Monique....0 Shawne.....1 Joe.......1 Heidi....0 Carol......0 Brandy....1
Eliminated Players Dana......0 Adrian....0.5 Discussion - Poor Adrian! Not just to fall off once, but twice! But I have to ask, was he too tangled to do as Dan did and go hand-over-hand, dragging himself along so he didn't lose any time? - Cord just motored, didn't he?  Edit because only Brandy did the RB, not Carol.

1. "RE: TAR 16 Roadblock Tally" |
Adrian & Dana's 1st and last mistake - choosing wrong for the RB. Adrian was too heavy; when he fell, I think his weight pulled him so far below the cable he just couldn't get a grip on it to pull himself along.

The only way they had to work together was getting to the RB on the subway. Which only Caite and Jordan had trouble with. Twits.

OK, it's a "cave" and all, but seriously. - Jordan did the hardest Roadblock ever. It was kind of funny to watch how excited he was after in the car, telling Dan how difficult the task had been. - I'm glad the Racers weren't shown looking endlessly. Perhaps because there were 2 search tasks in this ep. Those are dull to watch. - Brandy is a whiner.  Edit to add 1 to Brandy's count.

Hmmm. This could be trouble for Caite as she'll panic her way through most of the roadblocks. The others who have only done two (Allie, Jet, Carol) should be fine depending on the task.

Late comment, but I was thinking maybe the bottles were kind of tied to each other, so it was harder for the first teams than the last ones. For them the rope had a lot of slack in it?

Now he's got 5 RBs and she only has 3. It's not as if it was so hard. I guess the clue about being able to handle stress was what made Caite decide to sit this one out? - Everyone seemed to get the right number on the first try, so I guess the distractions weren't distracting enough. - Mike forgot to get his clipboard. And they were so proud last week or the week before since they always read their clue. - I wonder how long the task took? 15, 20 minutes?

I was thinking about it, and I wonder if it's because the links were all in a row that it was easier for the contestants. There have been counting tasks in the past (off the top of my head - bells in a bell tower, steps, fence posts) and I think this is the first time we've seen every team get it right on the first try.

Episode 10a: Make Noodles Did you say noodles?
Why yes! Using a traditional method, make 1kg of noodles. Get your next clue from Ping Ping, the world's smallest man. Who? Caite, Jet, Jordan, Louie Episode 10b: Assemble Puzzle Assemble a giant 97-piece puzzle that has a picture on one side and the directions to the next clue on the other. The puzzle pieces will be held up and flipped over by spectators at a football (soccer?) field to reveal the seat # where the next clue can be found. The team member who did not perform the last RB must perform this one. Who? Cord, Brent, Mike, Dan Episode 9: Count Chain Links Count 521 links of a huge chain in a shipyard with many distracting noises all around. Who?

Louie....5 Mike.....5 ***** Discussion: - And with that, Brent appears to be out of RBs. Kewl. I suppose it depends on whether there are 2 episodes left or 3. I think it's probably 2, but when I looked around very briefly just now, I couldn't find anything to say definitively. Likely next week will be the last elimination leg and then the following week will be the finale. So if there are RBs in both legs, Caite will do both. Unfortunately, she isn't as whiny as you might imagine, so I wonder if this turn of events will affect their standing in the game at all. I really, really hope so, though. Good grief, the thought of these two in the finals just makes me ill. - Jordan is such a whiner. But how nice of Dan to give him the support he needed during the noodle task. - Ping Ping was only 21 when he died of heart complications. He was also a chain smoker, according to Wikipedia. - Who was that old woman? She kind of freaked me out a bit. - OMG, poor Cord and Brent at the Puzzle RB. The wind must have been so frustrating. But good for Cord for not flipping out like Brent did. - Mike can't solve a puzzle, but he is trusted to solve crimes. Uh-huh. - Louie was already giving the loser speech before they left the stadium. Eliminated Players Dana......0 Adrian.....0.5 Jodi...........1 Shannon....1 Monique.....1 Shawne.....2 Joe.......2 Heidi.....2 Jordan.....2 Jeff.........3 Steve....4 Allie......3 Carol.......4 Brandy....4

I wonder what they would have done if one team member was already out of roadblocks? Would they get a pass, or would the other team member have to do both? I imagine they just didn't read that part of the clue because it wasn't relevant, but I'm not sure.

She re-counted 4 times. - Good idea letting Dan do this one. I can't imagine Jordan having been able to handle it. Finding that cask in France was super-hard, after all. - This was a freaking boring task. Coupled with the freaking boring Detour, I have been wondering WTF. Maybe it's because these types of tasks require a bit of concentration and it's late in the Race and everyone is tired. Or something. Anyway, they're in China for crying out loud. Surely there was something better than counting statues in a temple.

Jordan, Louie, Steve, Brandy, Cord, Brent, Jeff Episode 5: No Roadblock, apparently Episode 4: Bungee Jump The obligatory bungee jump, with the added fun of being an Intersection, so 2 team members from different teams jump together. Who? Jet and Mike, Joe and Allie, Brandy and Dan, Caite and Jordan (peach) Episode 3: Steer Roping Rope a hay-bale steer from 18 feet away and pull it towards you to receive your next clue. Who? Jet, Heidi, Carol, Jeff, Steve, Louie, Dan, Shawne, Brent Episode 2: Collect Ingredients Collect the 5 ingredients needed to make Kuchen: sugar, eggs, flour, butter and milk, fresh from the cow. Who? Cord, Carol, Heidi, Brent, Jeff, Steve, Monique, Jordan, Mike, Jody Episode 1: Walk Cable Walk across a cable suspended 120 feet in the air. Who? Caite, BB Jordan, Joe, Allie, Dan, Brandy, Shawne, Adrian, Louie, Shannon, Cord Tally Brent.....7 Caite.....5 Jet.......6 Cord.....6 Dan.......6 Jordan...5 Dan and Jordan take the Fast Forward in Episode 9. ***** Eliminated Players Dana......0 Adrian.....0.5 Jodi...........1 Shannon....1 Monique.....1 Shawne.....2 Joe.......2 Heidi.....2 Jordan.....2 Jeff.........3 Steve....4 Allie......3 Carol.......4 Brandy....4 Louie....6 Mike.....5 ***** Discussion: OK, I admit to a bit of confusion. Caite should have done the RB. I cannot imagine that the LAK rule would have been repealed, so I have to assume that there was some instruction that it didn't matter which teammate performed the task or perhaps the number of obligatory RB's is down to a fixed number of 5 instead of half. Otherwise, nothing much of note here. The IL&M task was way, way cooler.

LAST EDITED ON 05-10-10 AT 06:56 AM (EST)I'm also wondering if the episode where both team members did a roadblock affected the number of roadblocks a person could do. ETA: Everything about the IL&M stop was cool!  Cappy's Springtime

The whole reason I started doing this tally in the first place is that Phil told us that Racers could not perform more than 6 RBs. That was the 6th season.From Wikipedia: Early seasons allowed teams to distribute the Roadblocks between the team members as they desired, which allowed one team member to do nearly all the Roadblocks. This was changed in Season 6, which limited a single teammate to a maximum number of Roadblocks they could complete, normally six, thus forcing their partner to perform roughly half of the Roadblocks as well.<7> Recent seasons have not explicitly stated this rule but teams have maintained an even distribution of Roadblocks throughout the Race. Racers can be heard saying they've done "all my Roadblocks" or "saving the last one".<8> During the "Family Edition" some Roadblocks required two people from each 4-person team to participate; due to this, the Roadblock limit was not enforced for that Race. During an Intersection, one person from each of the Intersected teams must work together to complete the Roadblock. The Wiki entry mentions the 2 RBs from this season, so it seems up-to-date. I should have submitted questions about the LAK when Webby was interviewing eliminated teams and asking us for questions.
