Off by one word.
Well, one person does not act out the poem, and he FAILS!
Why was he so angry about it?
>On time in Ontario Canada.We're actually an hour earlier today because of the American Music Awards taking the slot that TAR is normally at on the CTV network.
On to the show now!
Is it showing at a diffirent time in the US? The AMA will be on at 8pm in Canada too.
The AMA is airing on ABC in the U.S. -- TAR airs at 8 pm as usual on CBS.
I watched it at 7pm on channel 9 which is CTV it then came on channel 5 at 8pm. Channel 5 is CBS I think.
Solving a puzzle while spinning in a TeaCup is messy.
One team must redo the puzzle because they lost a piece.
Major bunch point but one team drops their tickets!
Why did they not go to lost and found? The ticket were for the next train, not the first one. So there was a chance someone turned them in. Maybe even secret camera men. But at-least ask!
No-one asked for tickets, this may be possible. The GO-Train here works like that. At random times tickets are check, and if you don't have one or it is wrong you can get a very heavy fine and if caught more than once the police are called.In my case, I get checked less that 25% of the time I take a trip.
If there is a punishment for skipping out on a taxi driver why isn't the same rule applied to trains?
Speedos for all, why was this not in the first/second leg?
Some have fun, some ham it up too much.
And I am not just talking about the racers, some of the women in the audience are going wild, and a few of the men too.
Wow, Bill's body looks as good as some of the younger guys.
I was too busy looking at their instructor to notice.
LAST EDITED ON 11-21-11 AT 02:39 PM (EST)The second I saw those teeny bikinis, I would've been gone. Done. Bad enough in front of a live audience, but then on t.v. for millions to watch. Good God, no! I give them credit for doing it.
Edited to remove siggy. I always forget in the show forums.
The faces, the look on their faces.
It's a superleg, right?
Yep, it's a superleg. We see only one team arrive at the pit stop -- Amani/Marcus. Phil tells them they've won a trip to Panama and then sends them off ... and cut to "To Be Continued".Next week looks like it's going to be fun. Put together a raft and then paddle, plus get into a race car.
I'm a bit worried for Bill & Cathi. Not a single shot of them in the previews.
They're stuck in the speedo challenge. Amusing as it was having the teams do the body builder thing, I can only take so much subjective judging at a time. After having to get the dance moves right they get to a leg where they have to be dramatic, and then face Hans and Frantz.
LAST EDITED ON 11-20-11 AT 11:58 PM (EST)I guessed it was a superleg when the bunch point came so late in the leg.
ETA - Phil actually said the "next leg" starts now. Is there a possibility a team will be eliminated?
That's certainly the impression I got, that this wasn't a superleg. but that there wasn't a rest between legs.I'm expecting to see an elimination in the first ten minutes next week.
30 minutes late here.
If I ever go to Germany, I'll know I can simply hop on a train and not worry about little things like buying a ticket.
Surely they'll get <i>some</i> kind of penalty for that, right? That has to be against some kind of rule.
I don't see why - it didn't cause them to gain any advantage, they had paid for the ticket so they didn't gain financially and tickets weren't collected from any of the other teams either.
You could justify it under the same heading as teams jumping into a taxi without any money and hoping to find a driver to take mercy on them, or a favour pulled for a team (hello, Liz/Marie) to get onto a bus.If people are willing to gamble that they won't get caught, more power to them. Here in Canada, as Earl mentioned above, we have the GO Transit trains where conductors check for tickets about once in three or four trips -- and not only that, but also in Calgary, the C-Transit is on the same honour system - you're expected to have a ticket for when the transit guards come by once in a while to check if you have one. If you don't, they warn you the first time (or give you a ticket if you're not nice to them), then there's a big fat ticket and/or a visit with the cops on the second offence.
I'm also thinking that it's possible that the conductors saw that there were cameras around and they figured that they didn't want to deal with the hassle and publicity of busting some team on camera to give them a ticket. Do they want people around the world saying "this or that country sure isn't nice to Americans!" or whatever stereotype people want to think?
It's not uncommon - I've taken the Long Island Rail Road and no one collected my ticket.
"I'm also thinking that it's possible that the conductors saw that there were cameras around and they figured that they didn't want to deal with the hassle and publicity of busting some team on camera to give them a ticket."I'm thinking instead that the guys with the camera went to the train employees and either paid for new tickets or explained the situation. Can you imagine: They had a superleg coming up and one team would have been 24 hours behind! 2 episodes without suspense. Can't have that.
WOOT! It's on at 7 our time.
Life is good.Am I the only one who would have killed Marcus until he was very, very, very dead? WTH was he thinking shouting out stuff to distract Amani? What a doofus!
She seemed okay with it. *shrug* It's actually a sound strategy, deliberately distracting your partner while they're trying to memorize something so they can deal with distractions down the road.
I'm with you on this one, though it didn't seem to phase Amani. There's a reason when most of them are on a task they just wish their partner would quit it and shut up.
LAST EDITED ON 11-21-11 AT 12:02 PM (EST)I'm always of the opinion that we should judge a strategy by its results: Amani just breezed by the task. Marcus' distractions may not have helped but they certainly didn't hurt. Who knows if she would have done as well if he hadn't forced her to pay more attention.
I suspect Marcus took the idea from how football coaches lead some practices when they are going to play in a hostile, loud environment. They have their sound system blazing with recordings of jet airplane taking off to mimick the decibel level of crazy fans.
Except it wasn't a practice. Getting a player to tune out the distractions and concentrate is fine, but the coach doesn't normally want the player to tune out the coach.
LAST EDITED ON 11-21-11 AT 12:24 PM (EST)OK it was a rehearsal but close enough. You play like you practice and/or rehearse. All Amani had to do was read her lines. I sure hope she didn't need a coach for that! If she felt sure enough to leave the statue despite the distraction then she had practiced well and was ready to deliver during the game. And she did. What more do you want?
All I'm saying is if they practiced tune out distractions and concentrate, all he had to say was, "Tune out and concentrate!" On the other hand you don't want to send someone out into an unfamiliar city on a bike tuning out too much, they might get killed.
