"Roadblock Tally, TAR 15"
Another season of TAR, another compilation of who did what and various discussions of the LAK (Lazy-A$$ Kim) rule.

Episode 1-1: Sushi Roulette
One teammate stands at a roulette wheel with all the other Racers. The wheel is spun by a wacky Japanese game show host. They must eat the sushi that lands in front of them. Teams can only progress if the sushi is a wasabi bomb (very hot!), which must be eaten within 2 minutes.

Pretty funny task. Especially when Ericka tried to show that she has a playful side. What.ever.

A couple teams are unbalanced, but it's still early.

I changed the episode numbers because I was confusing myself. So even though there have been 5 RB's, we're only on episode 4.

Every season I reiterate that I don't like search tasks. This one was especially boring.

Good thing Mika and Canaan got eliminated. He only had one RB left. You know that right after he ran out, there'd have been a bungie jump or something and she'd have been squealing annoyingly there for hours on end.

However, I certainly don't believe that Mika would ever have been able to row the boat ashore. Whiner.

The various paddling techniques were too funny: Gary paddling like for a canoe, Big Easy and Dan using their hands and arms. Honestly, it's not that hard. Yes, by the way, I can row a boat.

I had the same thought-- if this would've been a non-elimination leg, the next roadblock would've been a steep, physical rock-climbing challenge, with a voiceover from Phil intoning, "Mika must perform this task, since Canaan has done the previous 417,883 consecutive tasks."

I agree the paddling techniques were funny - they were lucky the boats were so light. Big Easy and Dan couldn't have used their hands if it were a real rowboat!

Did anyone have a flashback to all the racers rowing (or failing to row) in Vietnam and Croatia?! I love it when they make them row!

Wasn't it Vietnam where they had the round boats that went round and round and round? I really don't want to name Zack's partner who was such a crybaby at that (and every other) task.

I'll do it for ya... Florinka "Flo" Pesenti. (And no, it's not spelled 'Pissanti')

And yes, it was in Vietnam.

Seana - did they say there was still a rule in effect that all teams must complete an equal number of roadblocks this season? Cuz I'm wondering if they were told they didn't have to do an equal number (but rather, a minimum number) so Canaan went ahead and did five of the six so far. Otherwise, there's no way they would have intentionally left it so that Mika would have been stuck doing almost all of the roadblocks down the road if they somehow lasted that long.

11. "RE: Roadblock Tally, TAR 15"
I don't know it it's been specifically mentioned. Rob and Amber had this problem in their first season on TAR. Rob did all the RB's and then Amber was stuck doing the last few.

IIRC, there is a maximum number of RB's either teammate can do.

From Wikipedia:

Early seasons allowed teams to distribute the Roadblocks between the team members as they desired, which allowed one team member to do nearly all the Roadblocks. This was changed in Season 6, which limited a single teammate to a maximum number of Roadblocks they could complete, normally six, thus forcing their partner to perform roughly half of the Roadblocks as well.<6> Recent seasons have not explicitly stated this rule but teams have maintained an even distribution of Roadblocks throughout the Race. Racers can be heard saying they've done "all my Roadblocks" or "saving the last one".

- Boring.

- Ericka mentioned that she had been running up and down the stairs for two hours.

- In case anyone was interested, her guesses were 43, 56, 57 and finally 62. Though we didn't actually *see* the number she had written and don't really know if the just let her have the clue out of pity.

Oh, I saw the "62" the final time she went up to the guy to ask if it was correct ... but yes, we didn't see her do the counting to total that one up, so for all we know, the producer said "to hell with it, it's 62."

It's just as well that Maria & Tiffany are goners.
Tiffany was having to do all of the roadblocks that were expected to be physical.
Maria was useless - at just about everything.

- Poor Sam.

- Ericka is running out of tasks she can fob off on Brian.

- Lena and Kristy didn't get Philiminated until 2 hours after the last team had checked in. So when they let Gary continue for a couple hours, I had to wonder if they were being cruel and unusual again, or if it was a non-elim.

The Swordfighter guys were having a lot of fun.

Candelabra. *sigh* and then Sam and Dan were looking for the "tovair" or whatever instead of a tower.

I think they were looking for a touver, thinking the w was two letters. And since Pitt Hermann aren't common words either, I can see how they thought they were looking for the 'Pitt Hermann Touver' Garden.

Discussion:

- A search task?! Seriously?! A gorgeous theatre like that with so much history and they do a search task? Holy heck.

- I dislike search tasks.

- "Who can remain composed under pressure" is a lousy clue. I had seriously hoped for something involving music. But hahahaha No.

- I did like Don Giovanni.

- Did no-one know what a mandolin looks like? They were bringing all kinds of things up there, including a full-sized violin. Violin... mandolin... the names sort of sound similar. Though come to think on it, it was Big Easy who had the violin. It may have been a viola. Or a cello.

- The decoy instruments were amusing.

- Cheyne...Cheyne...Cheyne...Cheyne...Cheyne...Cheyne...

Discussion:

- Kafka-esquier

- Big Easy gave it up too fast. Even if you can't figure out that certain consonant blends go together well - "FR", for example, at the beginning of a word or "RF" at the end of one - surely a more methodical approach than randomly scribbling the letters would have been a good idea.

- Ericka and Sam will have to do the next RB, if it's not a team RB, like last season.

- "Hey, Big Easy, let's work together. By which I mean until I get the right word, then you can work alone." Just say no at the start and don't look like a jerk later. They were willing to wait around with the poker chicks, after all.

Discussion:

- Ericka wants us to think she's so nice, but the truth is that she (and Sam) had no choice but to do the RB.

- Poor Cheyne!

- Sam really motored, didn't he?

- I don't care what the caption said, that chip-counting task wasn't a Roadblock.


Thank-you all for reading! Have a fantastic holiday season and we'll see you for TAR 16!
