"TAR6 Not So Move of the Week: Episode 2" |
Here are your choices:1. Meredith/Maria arrive in Oslo and start driving their car. Unfortunately, the car is a stick shift and neither of them know how to drive stick. They are the last team to the Viking village. 2. Freddy/Kendra get a clue after they finish rowing the Viking boat. They lose the clue, however, and go back to retrieve another one. At the pitstop, they find out that this was against the rules and are assessed a 30-minute penalty. They finish 8th, two spots lower than they would have. 3. Donald/Mary Jean finish the detour and jump into a car. However, they jumped into Adam/Rebecca's car. They head back to retrieve their own car. 4. Meredith/Maria choose the Accuracy detour, but have a lot of trouble getting through it. They finally finish it well behind everyone else. They end up in last and are eliminated from the race. 5. Lena/Kristy finish the detour and start heading to the pitstop. They get lost while heading there and go from 4th place to 9th place. There you go. Now vote and have a happy Thanksgiving.

But as a runner up I would put Adam/Rebecca and everyone else who left their keys in the car. If someone steals or takes your car you are probably out of luck too.For those who voted for #1 -- Here's the thing on the shift car, it may not be that easy to find a vehicle to practice on as one might think -- in Mirna's TARFLIES interview, she said in learning to drive a stick she couldn't rent one: "Last minute, I learned how to stick shift, you know, drive a stick shift car. And nobody was willing to let me borrow their car so it was really hard. Yeah. No one wants their clutch ruined. Exactly. And you can't rent a stick shift car, I learned. They don't do that, for that reason. And so that was—and we had our coldest winter ever in Baltimore. It was like the ground was covered in sleet every day, and here I am trying to learn how to drive a stick shift. Because Charla, she can drive, but she needs her pedal extenders. And they weigh at least ten pounds. And she couldn't carry them on her back, so that would be ten more pounds for me. And I just—I was like, forget it. I'll just learn how to drive a stick shift."

1. Yes, they should have learned before getting on but a hard thing to master even if she just did learn because clutches are so different for each vehicle.2. Runner-up: Can't remember who lost a clue in the previous before and just followed everyone but know the rules (This also tips us off that there are more clues in each box then racers so they really don't know if someone is behind them and how many. Thought that would be a big tip off for anyone when getting a clue). 3. What are people thinking by leaving their keys in the car? If you take them with you and you'll get the right car when leaving. 4. Think a lot of people had trouble with part 1 due to the fact you could not knock down the king before all the rest were down. 5. The most basic critical skill other then driving is map reading! TARS is all about map reading and directions. If you don't know why do a lot of this seasons groups just keep going? Stop, ask, or look at your map. If I ever apply and are picked I'm packing a compass and if they don't allow it I'm buying one real quick.

17. "And the Winner is: 1" |
1. Meredith/Maria arrive in Oslo and start driving their car. Unfortunately, the car is a stick shift and neither of them know how to drive stick. They are the last team to the Viking village.
As I posted before -- YOU GOTTA WATCH previous shows. Something like this has happened in every Race. Contestants have to remember that a Standard Transmission is called Standard for a reason -- in most of the world, that is what people drive. Rentals included. Go out and learn how to drive a stick. Sheeesh.2. Freddy/Kendra get a clue after they finish rowing the Viking boat. They lose the clue, however, and go back to retrieve another one. At the pitstop, they find out that this was against the rules and are assessed a 30-minute penalty. They finish 8th, two spots lower than they would have.
Again, the rules are (or should be, anyway) clearly explained before contestants start off. In the end, it really didn't cost them that much -- two spots, but in reality only 30 minuets, which will prob be made up early on with the next bunching. Speaking of which, while it may seem logical to have extra clues in the box to hid actual positions, in this case all the teams were together after the boat race. (BTW, haven't we seen in earlier versions clues/teams matching number?)3. Donald/Mary Jean finish the detour and jump into a car. However, they jumped into Adam/Rebecca's car. They head back to retrieve their own car.
I wonder what kind of penalty would have been handed down if they didn't return the car. Also, it seemed that Adam & Rebecca had just finished the task (this may have just been editing) when their car was returned .. so would they have been given a time credit? As to the posters commenting about leaving keys in the cars --- the racers get reserved parking spots, there are lots of production people hanging around, etc. so I would think key security would be a low priority when dashing out for a task.4. Meredith/Maria choose the Accuracy detour, but have a lot of trouble getting through it. They finally finish it well behind everyone else. They end up in last and are eliminated from the race.
Other teams had the same problems. Again, the shiftless driver is what cost them.5. Lena/Kristy finish the detour and start heading to the pitstop. They get lost while heading there and go from 4th place to 9th place.
Map reading skills are crucial. But it doesn't seem like the time difference between 4th and 9th will be that much (based on Freddy/Kendra).

If I was going on Survivor, I would take swimming lessons beforehand (even though I know how to swim).If I was on TAR, I would rent a car that has a stick-shift (it is possible) or convince one of my friends to let me practice using their standard (having not driven a stick for years). Basic common sense. Much like getting maps for the various places you go, or using your eyes to determine if a car requires diesel fuel. Close second to the idiots who dropped their clue, forgot the rules and didn't even really look very hard for their clue. If you're on a show like TAR, KNOW HOW TO DRIVE, KNOW THE RULES and KNOW HOW TO READ MAPS!!!! This may be the dumbest seeming bunch of racers ever, but they do amuse me so with their ineptitude.

#1. You can't join a swimming competition but lose the game because you can't swim and said,'Hey! I live in a desert, I have no chance or reason to learn to swim!' In the first place, they should not join TAR and take away others chance of joining TAR if they don't have the basic skill that is needed for this game.#2. Actually this is a close choice, they are lucky that they can at least got another clue. What if they lost it somewhere else and can't remember where to go? Being so careless, they could have lost their passport the next time. #3. Not sure what is the penalty. Will Phil ask them to drive the car back after they reach the pitstop? I would think then it's a good move that they make the right decision to drive back once they realise their mistake. (Can it be the crew told them to go back? Since when Jon said 'we should go back' and Mary Jean said 'no we are not.' But then all of a sudden without argument, they just drove the car back?? #4. From the results of other teams, this choice look easier than the other one. #5. I thought the sister who didn't drive notice that they were something wrong in the beginning (she point to the other direction). They should check if any of them have doubt. But I am glad they are still in the race cos I like this team. =^_^=

#1 - Driving a manual is a must-know on TAR. Get a driving school to teach you or if worse comes to worse put an ad in the local newspapaer to get someone to teach you.
