"Should Episode 9 an elimination round?" |
Hi I am wondering whether episode 9 should be considered an elimination round? Phil always said 'who will be eliminated, tonight' when there is an elimination round and said 'who will be eliminated, next' when there is a non-elimination round, so how come this episode turned out to be elimination one? Also in the Road block, neither Kelly/Jon or Millie/Chuck spell out the elimination sentence ' the last one get to the pit stop will be eliminated ' when they reading the clue ?? I think suddenly the producer decided this round is an elimination by seeing Kelly/Jon matched up closely with Millie/Chuck and then decided this is an elimination round... By right it shouldn't be an elimination round... as following trend of TAR So guess next round will be another elimination round before leaving last 2 episode non elimination round?( as follow TAR3?)

1. "Of course" |
Welcome to the boards, keat1. 1) Phil also said, "Who will be eliminated next?" in episode 7 when Tian & Jaree were eliminated. 2) Just because we don't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there. Both of these were designed to mess with our heads since Phil & Co. had been so predictable about them in the past. >I think suddenly the producer decided this round is an
>elimination by seeing Kelly/Jon matched up closely with
>Millie/Chuck and then decided this is an elimination round... I disagree. I'm pretty sure they decide the elims and non-elims when they decide the course. Though it's true that in TAR3 leg 9 was a non-elimination leg, in both TAR Classic and TAR2 they were eliminations. There are 4 legs left in the race - leg 13 is the race to the finish (doesn't count as either elim or non-elim), and leg 12 is the one just before it which I'm pretty sure will remain non-elimination. That leaves leg 10 (this week) and leg 11 (next week) as the other non-elimination episode. I have a good idea which it is, but I'll keep it to myself for now.

3. "RE: Should Episode 9 an elimination round?" |
From the tarflies.com website (an excellent source to answer many of these questions:"Do the teams know ahead of time which legs are non-elimination?
They're never told directly. In the first two seasons, however, the teams could guess which legs were non-elimination by the way the last clue was written. In elimination legs, this clue would say something like, "The last team to check in to the pit stop will be eliminated." But the last clue of non-elimination legs would say nothing about elimination. Starting with the third season, all clues were re-worded as, "The last team to check in to the pit stop may be eliminated" after the first few legs."
I seasons 1 and 2, the non-elimination legs were the second-to-last, fourth to last, and sixth to last, setting up a very predictable pattern. The only loop thrown into the mix was in season 3, when the fifth-to-last episode was non-elimination rather than the fourth-to-last. To the contestants who did not know when the episodes would be shown --particularly our heroes Jill and JV who went for the FF one leg too soon -- this must have been something of a shocker. However, it made perfect sense under the TV schedule, putting a nonelimination episode the night before thanksgving when very few were watching.
This time around, the airing has been delayed for several months so it is hard to tell when the originally-envisioned airdates were, and thus whether there is any TV-schedule reason to alter the pattern. I think it would be quite entertaining this time if they moved the final elimination episode up a week to this week -- to see if they can catch anyone napping and see if anyone goes for the FF early --but this would appear to be unlikely as it would leave the next two weeks as obvious non-elims.
