PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR #22 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" |
"Playoffs? What do you mean, (golf) playoffs?"Death, taxes, and Race delays: the tournament went to extra holes, so most of the States will be a few minutes behind. Regardless, please confine all discussion of tonight's episode to this thread until midnight EST, by which time the West will still be laughing at those of us stupid enough to live in a zone where it's possible for things not to start on time. May Phil use your city as a finish line.  
If this show aired on the Weather Channel, there would be a hurricane every Sunday.

4. "RE: TAR #22 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-17-13 AT 09:24 PM (EST)The usual scrum at the airport and the usual lying to each other about what they do for a living (the doctor twins said they were "deliverymen" at first) and the usual fake faces and fake laughs pretending to get along. Only two flights available to go to Bora Bora. Teams arrive in Tahiti and are given leis by a welcoming committee at the airport. Discussion on who to give the second express pass to assuming one of the first five teams win the leg. Another flight from Tahiti to Bora Bora. Spectacular scenery. Roadblock = Who's ready to take a giant leap for a million bucks? Take a copter up 10,000 feet and jump down (I'm assuming they meant with a parachute) and get a clue when they touch down. Clue tells the teams to go to Eden Beach via water taxi. Their next clue tells them to search sandcastles (400 of them spread out on the beach). Whatever they destroy but don't find a clue, they must put the sandcastle back together. Oy. If you thought Cochran's sunburn was bad in the first episode of Survivor Caramoan, wait until this challenge... The second group of folks arrive at the helicopter sign up. Mona, for some reason, signs herself onto the last flight instead of onto the 5th flight. We go to break just as there is a comment saying it would be horrifying if this is the cause of an elimination. Hmm.

if there is some rule that prevents the partner of the clue searcher to provide some shade for them? Bora Bora looks absolutely wonderful, hot or not.

Good question, nobody's been particularly close to their partner other than mullethead.

I wondered why they didn't take a shirt or something out of their bags to cover their head & shoulders;
but then later I wondered "where are their bags" as I didn't see them take them with them to the pit stop.

Maybe there is a rule once you decide to take the penalty you are stuck with it. Would be a good question for the Webby Interview!

...Or they created that rule because they wanted to keep the country stars.

I agree. The key is the clue. Once you take the next clue, you can't go back.

I've seen breaks for breakdowns, but it may be that once you say you quit, you can't just go completely away from the location, take a 2 hour nap and then decide, oh I'm ready to go again.A breakdown usually, at least for me, isn't a restorative as a I'm not doing this at all any more and I'll just hang out for a couple of hours and maybe take a nap. But your mileage may vary. I suspect the rules of quitting were laid out before the challenge and they didn't change it in the middle of the boat rowing. I mean I know they can for the most part do what they want, but just logistically changing the rules in the middle of a challenge would at least, I would think, require making sure all people involved know you changed the rules at the drop of a hat.

All the teams had been there and taken their clues, so once the last three canoes were in the water the workers probably began cleaning up the beach. No task to go back to.

31. "Phil says..." |
LAST EDITED ON 02-19-13 AT 08:41 PM (EST)... once a team has declared they are taking the penalty and have been given the clue, rules say they cannot change their mind or go back to the challenge. This from a Q-and-A session with Phil on Twitter: 
So that's that. The firefighters were outta luck when they kept tipping over while the other teams managed to get through.
More tidbits from Phil on last night's episode...

It looked to me too that they were putting the sand from the castle into the buckets;
instead of knocking it down to see if the clue was there, and then refilling the bucket if it was not.
maybe not a difference in time, but it looked like it was.

What I didn't understand, though, was that Phil said the penalty would be assessed when they start the next leg instead of making them sit for 4 hours before they checked in. Was that just because it didn't really matter at that point since the results would have been the same?

Yes, it was because it really didn't matter. And that was four hours of Phil's life he could do anything else but waste time playing war with the greeter.

10. "At the pit stop..." |
Jessica and John arrive first. They get two express passes, one to keep for themselves and one for another team. They were part of the group that agreed to give the second pass to whoever finished second, but J&J aren't ready to commit fully to that yet, depending on who it is. Ah, to answer your question, moonie... mullethead just came over and poured water over his wife's head. Second at the pit stop... Bates and Anthony, the hockey brothers. Third - Dave and Connor, the father/son cancer team. They say they were the second team from that core of five teams on the first flight so they should get the pass. Let's see if J&J is willing to cough it up. The twins are still digging in the sand and getting roasted alive. Ah, they finally get the clue! Fourth - Pam and Winnie. Fifth - Mona and Beth, the roller moms. Twins talk about how they can't swim and all that ... then a few mins later, they tip right over into the water! One of them lost his glasses. Sixth - JOey and Meghan, the Youtube folks. Seventh - Mullethead and wife. Phil asks him to take his hat off - "Business in front, party in back." Eighth - the twins. The final three teams have been out there digging for three hours now. Max & Katie, Jennifer & Caroline, and Matt & Daniel.

12. "RE: At the pit stop..." |
Teams now discussing about quitting and the implications it might have for their chances in getting to the end. The three decide to take the four-hour penalty at the same time, then they all take off running at once to the canoes! The three teams are all paddling like mad in a race to get to the pit stop. Nice camera view of the teams tipping over into the water. Ninth - Max and Katie. Four hour penalty next leg. Tenth - Caroline and Jennifer. Four hour penalty. Last and Philiminated - Matt & Daniel.

What a couple of slack jawed yokels. I didn't know firefighters could be so non-sexy. Yuck. Glad to see 'em go.

26. "RE: Express pass" |
Personally, I think the only ones who could absolutely be held to the agreement were the doctors, since it was their idea. It was one of those put on the spot things, the other teams really had no choice but to agree or cause trouble. Like Jonathan in the Phillipines should have agreed with Lisa and Michael on the F3 plan, he still would have had his options open.

21. "RE: Totally ridiculous prediction." |
It would be smart but I'd think that the decision would have to be made during this pit stop, not during the leg.
