Excellent observations everyone and I just knew that you would be over here, michel! Thrilled to see the editing thread is alive and well in the TAR thread! I feel like I'm so far behind, and every Sunday night rolls around and I am still not cognizant that TAR is even going to be on! At any rate, I have managed to see most of the shows so far and have some definite feelings regarding the editing.

I agree that Edwin and Godwin are the nice guys running the nice race. They don't seem to panic, they make note of their weaknesses as well as their strengths, and they are immensely enjoying the trip. I don't know, but I do see that perhaps they could win it??? I know that I am rooting for them...but you are probably right....

Tyler and James are going to be tough to beat. Both seem to be in great shape and quick thinking on the fly. They definately are focused on the race, and I don't know if they will settle for anything but first...

I don't see how the beauty queens can keep up with Tyler and James. I know it was a rough leg for them, but they did perservere and I enjoyed how supportive they were to each other.

Sarah and Peter ....enough already. This couple is really getting on my nerves and Sarah seems as though she's had her eyes opened, but at times I just don't know. I will be happy to be rid of them. It is a personal struggle/adventure for them. Week after week, leg after leg, she has to prove to herself that she can do it, of course she can, she's accomplished so much, but the two as a couple is not working for me....I think they are receiving a terrible edit.

Rob is horrific....not wanting to deal with foreigner, and Kimberly keeps identifying their biggest obstacle as fighting with each other, yet they constantly do it more aggressively.... They will fail and hopefully get far away from each other. I see them as the evil foil in the end perhaps.

The Kentucky couple is a hoot, but they are running a race for personal reasons, for the adventure in and of itself and are constantly proving more and more to each other. Definately will not make it to end game.

As are the Bama moms. I enjoy them though, and must say they have surprised me week after week that they are still here. They were more positive this ep, and I can't help but wonder if their ticket is up next week.

All in all, I like to see the teams that learn from leg to leg, I like to see who adapts and evolves. I think it could come down to the rehab models Tyler and James, Edwin and Godwin, and perhaps the beauties.

Thanks for the thread, I've really enjoyed it!
