"TAR 7, Episode 11 ... TAR Fans, It's Time to Vote!"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 05-02-05 at 04:12 PM
Welcome, everyone, to this week's voting thread! It's the second-last episode of the season and your job is to tell us who you think will be eliminated or if it'll be a non-elimination (who would finish last and lose their backpacks)?

Team TARsucks Spoilers, great job of nailing Ron/Kelly as our non-eliminee last place finishers last week! Our team picking record is now up to 4-5-0-1.


The Rules, the same old brak brak

1. Please put the name of your choice for this week's result IN THE SUBJECT HEADING! This is really easy. Just erase the bit where it says "Re: TAR 7, Episode 11 ... TAR Fans, It's Time to Vote!" and replace with your vote, i.e., Freddy/Kendra. This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately. Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they're REALLY obvious without actually reading your vote, so please save the nicknames for inside your post and only use their proper names in the subject header.

Please note that those who do not bother to put contestant names in the subject heading will likely not have their vote counted because it’s time-consuming to go through every post and count the vote in there.

2. If you feel there will be a Non-Elimination at the pit stop, put down "Non-Elim: Name/Name" in the subject header.

3. Reply ONLY to this post! Curves on women are good. Curves on vote threads are bad.

EXCEPTION TO RULE 3! VOTE CHANGES!

If it just so happens that you want to change your vote for whatever reason, REPLY TO YOUR ORIGINAL POST! Your new post heading should read "VOTE CHANGE: Adam/Rebecca (or Whoever)".

4. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD! There are plenty of places on the Spoilers/Speculation Forum to debate the merits of people's arguments. Let's keep it out of here, please. Feel free, though, to explain the reasoning behind your vote, predict who will finish first, get yielded, Fast Forwards, etc.

5. Have fun!


THE 4 REMAINING TEAMS:
Meredith/Gretchen
Rob/Amber
Ron/Kelly
Uchenna/Joyce

ELIMINATED/NEs/TBCs:
Ryan/Chuck (Best Friends) - Episode 1
Megan/Heidi (Barbies) - Episode 2
Debbie/Bianca (Lifelong Friends who can't read a map) - Episode 3
Susan/Patrick (Mother/Son) - Episode 4
Non-Elimination (Meredith/Gretchen last) - Episode 5
Ray/Deana (Dating On-and-Off) - Episode 6
Brian/Greg (Half-Naked Brothers) - Episode 7
To Be Continued - Episode 8
Lynn/Alex (Boyfriends) - Episode 9
Non-Elimination (Ron/Kelly last) - Episode 10

Woo hoo! Call me butter, 'cause I'm on a roll.

Again, my gut says Meredith/Gretchen -- but I vowed I would never pick them again after they steered me wrong so many times. U/J and R/K are in the Puerto Rico pics, so... Ciao, Rob. Still don't like you, but thanks for making it an interesting season.

Plus, it's never bad to go with MBR on Sucks.

It was a toss up this week...between M/G and R/A. The dark appearance in the double-decker detour gives me pause to think that it could be G/M running late. But like LibraRising above, I'm going to take into account MBR's reputation as well as the Jamaica spoiler saying that R/A were NOT one of the final 3. I think the Phillipines and NY Post news articles were just bad journalism/gossip, not a legitimate spoiler.

Plus I just want to see them get eliminated.

It's all in the editing folks. Who was the last team to totally diss and dismiss team geritol? And where are they right now? If you said Ray and Deana and sequesterville, then you are right! Rob and Amber made the huge assumption that Meredith and Gretchen are stupid, with the help of Uchenna and Joyce the old couple keep that lead, along with R/A taking a huge risk and going to another airport...hubris thy name is the great equalizer

Beacuase we know R/K and U/J are in Puerto Rico, presumably close together. And because I assume U/J win the race, I assume R/K and U/J are ahead of a third team, not behind them. And because Romber have run a nearly perfect race thus far, I assume it'd be easier for U/J and R/K to be farther ahead of Meredith/Gretchen than Romber.

So Romber gets yielded in this episode by Meredith and Gretchen, and that costs them the race. Rob's stupid comment last episode comes back to haunt him.

They're slammin' - right into 4th place I truly hope. I'm glad the spoiling information is making this a credible guess. I don't care for them, or at least how they've been presented in editing, they have changed the game in some interesting ways, but when it's all said and done, I'll be glad to see them go.

Posted by guyRaven on 05-02-05 at 08:05 PM
not a Romber fan but I was hoping they will stay till the final three to make the game a little more interesting.. IF M/G make it to the final three, it will be a boring one on one race.

Posted by RBA on 05-02-05 at 10:01 PM
Looks like Rob and Amber catch the earlier flight to Koln/England. To do so, they have to fly first class, which means a penalty after they come to the mat first. ;) A gamble that doesn't payoff.

I seriously doubt that CBS would be showing the Romber clips where he says 'we are taking a huge risk... this could get us eliminated' (paraphrased, I didn't tape it) if they were actually being eliminated that race.

No Sale - M/G are pruned off... They did well to get to the Final 4, but it's time for them to go back to Retirement.

Posted by PepeLePew13 on 05-03-05 at 07:07 AM
1. I'm going with the RaceyGirl spoiler that Uchenna/Joyce and Ron/Kelly were seen in Puerto Rico. Good enough for me to say they are safe.

2. We were shown Rob/Amber a fair amount in the previews so I think they're safe -- with TAR, it's more of a tossup as to what the previews mean as compared to Survivor, though.

3. There's an article out there that does not have Meredith/Gretchen listed as one of the final three.

4. I don't know a thing about MBR, so it's hard for me to get into his (her?) spoiler that Rob/Amber doesn't make it -- I'd need to read up on it and find out who this person is and what the spoiling history is -- in the meantime, until I know more, I'm not going with this spoiler.

5. It's pretty amazing to think that M/G could actually beat out R/A in this race, so I'm gonna go with M/G as my eliminees. If it's R/A, then c'est la vie.

Posted by zing on 05-03-05 at 10:20 AM
It's their time. Some of us have been lulled into a false sense of security because we keep counting them out and they must be invincible. Not so.

I have much more faith in a Phillipino news clipping than MBR. I mean, come on people...if it didn't come from somebody with Admin status, would we even still be talking about it? Otherwise, when you read something blythe and trite like "A little birdy told me...thanks little birdy!" you flame it and move on. When somebody drops a steamer like that it's usually discounted.

And when I see so many of you saying that you're going with the pack and guessing Romber it makes me very very disappointed. Use your critical thinking caps people!!! Ever since the background spoiler died, I've taken NOTHING for granted.

Romber won't win, but they're not going out today. Even if M/G (whom I'm very proud of) are on the May 11th show and not just because they take the top 4, it's because they were a special case - they were the oldest couple to make it the farthest and they just never gave up...yadda yadda.

So, if you all listen to little "birdys" now, I've got some real estate to sell you in Florida...

This is post #27 with 26 votes tallied so far.

It's a two-horse race at this point, with Romber holding a little lead over the Old Zombies. Keep voting, people!

15 = Rob/Amber elimination
09 = Meredith/Gretchen elimination
02 = Ron/Kelly elimination

Under the radar = Uchenna/Joyce

They've done amazingly well. Even though Gretchen's whiney voice annoys me she did an amazing job "storming" that tower and then repelling down. I respect her for that. I just don't like her, and I think their time is up.

Romber comes in third.

"NEL Uchenna/Joyce"
Posted by 1derfool on 05-03-05 at 12:09 PM
I'm going to say NEL U/J, just to keep up the 'Final 3' suspense.

Eliminating one team this week would leave the final 3 for the whole last double episode. There's not much drama then until the final sprint to the finish line. Part of the suspense is seeing who the last 3 teams are - why give it away this 'early' in the race? Making this a NEL leg would still leave 4 teams for the final 2 hour show, giving us some suspense in the first hour to see who's eliminated. If there is an elimination in this leg, that means the first hour next week is NEL, so why bother tuning in for the first half, just show up for the second half when the real fun begins. I'm going out on a limb here, but I think this is another NEL week.

On the other hand, my record is Zilch Zip Nada, so I'm pretty sure I'm wrong.

The previews I saw have Romber saying that this gamble could cost them the game. This is done to get viewers to watch in hope they will shoot themselves in the foot.

IMO, they will, but not his week. They will end up in third this week and will not win the game, but come in second to U/J with R/K bickering themselves into third.

"Meredith/Gretchen"
Posted by mookiemeister on 05-03-05 at 12:41 PM
No concrete reason. Just thought the old couple has hang on long enough. If the challenges are more physical, they won't be able to keep up with the younger teams.

I really enjoyed team Geritol up until about 2 weeks ago when they REALLY started grating on my nerves. Gretchen is so so irritating and unsupportive of Merideth, and down right pessimistic. I almost heaved last week when she patted herself on the back and said that she and Merideth had won in the top two all on their own merit...if it hadn't been for Joyce and Uchenna, they would have been toast. They are inept at challenges, and have to be led around by U/J(not saying that's such a bad strategy on U/J's part!) PLEASE let them be TOAST tonight!

"Romber"
Posted by AyaK on 05-03-05 at 05:15 PM
I've known MadBananaRush since the days when people used to try to spoil Survivor. If MBR says that Romber get eliminated this episode largely because of something that happens on Baker Street (which is MBR's claim), then so be it.

I also presume that Romber get yielded this episode, and that's why we have the episode title of "The Devil Made Me Do It" -- whoever yields them uses that as a reason. That also would explain why Rob is trying to drive the double-decker bus.

I should note that we received a report a while ago that said that the rumor around Romber was that they finished third. I have the choice of believing a RUMOR, or what MBR claims is a FACT. I'll side with MBR on that one.
