"TAR 24 (All-Stars) Detours"
Sorry this thread took so long, I was unable to log in to the site for some reason, and finally just had to register again. So I know some of these are old, but I'll go back and include every episode.

For those who don't know, the question is - which one of the detours would you have chosen, and why?

In China

Your choice:
Featherball - Play China's version of hackeysack
-or-
China Cup - experience a traditional Chinese massage

I would have definitely gone with Featherball. Who knows how long the massage would have taken, especially since you'd also need time to undress and redress? And while I was never an expert at hackeysack, it probably would have come back enough to do well at this task.

I would have chosen Featherball. A massage sounds too easy.

Featherball. If the massage sounds too good to be fast, it probably is. ;)

Your choice

River Delivery - Deliver supplies to a village on the river
-or-
Run Through the Jungle - Go through the jungle shooting fake birds with a blowgun

River delivery seemed much easier, especially since you'd have to build the raft either way.

What I didn't get about this one was why you couldn't switch tasks - when Dave and Conner realized they'd missed the drop off point, why didn't they just switch detours?

Not sure about this one. Hunting could take a long time but delivery can always be tricky on TAR. Probably delivery.

I don't think it is clear if Dave & Connor couldn't switch or just didn't want too.

Mix Master - Perform a scratch DJ routine
-or-
Master Mix - pour 7 cocktails without mixing the colors

Initially I probably would have thought that master mix was easier, but seeing that mix master was only repeating specific patterns, I hopefully would have switched to that.

I live with a DJ so Mix Master would have been the easy choice.

Fishing Pole - Sit on a post and catch a fish
-or-
Spin Control - Learn a dance while spinning drums on a stick

Tough choice. Fishing is risky, but I don't think I'd have the talent to spin things while moving in a dance, so I'd have to go with fishing.

Trunk - Use an elephant to help move some logs
-or-
Sheets - Make paper using elephant dung

Trunk definitely seemed easier, even before watching the teams do it. I would have gone with that for sure.

Sheets. Watching it, the elephants were cooperative, but that's not always the case.

Gladiator - Fight a staged fight with a gladiator
-or-
Charioteer - Steer a model chariot around a track

I am much better with staged stuff than model cars, so I would have gone with the gladiators.

I'd have done the chariot. DH would have done the gladiator. Not sure who would have won that fight.

The gladiator, that would have been fun. I have a hard time with remote control cars so that would have been out.

LAST EDITED ON 04-21-14 AT 02:16 PM (EST)

Your choice:

Donkey Run - Ride a donkey around a ring 3 times
-or-
Donkey Build - Build a donkey out of wooden pieces

This is tough - I normally go for the brainy task, but ride a donkey around a ring 3 times seems much easier. I think ultimately I would have gone for the puzzle, though, since animals can be pretty risky.

ETA: Added correct names of the detours.

Your choice:

Spanish Steps - learn a flamenco dance
-or-
Run with the ballz - use inflatable balls to run with the bulls

I think I would have gone with Spanish steps - I can pick up routines quickly, and bonus - it looked closer to the next route marker, since the girls got to the U-Turn first.

Shoot It - Shoot 16 clay pigeons as a team
-or-
Boot It - Throw water-filled boots along a course

Tough choice. I think I actually would have gone with the boot it, because I would have been worried about the wind, and it was such a unique task. And I'm not a great shot, so that wouldn't have been the obvious choice.
