That video is art!! Still one of the best pieces of BB fan media I've ever seen. 😂

In typical race fashion, we're spending too much time with that lead pack as they go through the tasks first and not enough time on the, imo, far more enjoyable middle pack teams. This season is desperate for some bunching. Definitely a down side to not having long equalizing flights.

It shouldn't be that common. Occasionally you get an exceptionally good team, but even then they don't always finish first and there's still jockeying for position among other teams. And most importantly, there's an OPPORTUNITY to pass the lead teams.

If we don't get a bunch soon, you may get your wish.

TAR is my favorite of all the reality shows, so it's killing me that all my BB friends are coming in on a season that's so badly paced. I'd very much recommend checking out another season! TAR31 is the TAR vs BB vs Survivor season and it's pretty solid.

I love her, but giving the Express Pass to the strongest team on the race was terrible TAR strategy. You give that thing to a WEAK team and hope that they'll use it to pass and eliminate a strong team. Once again, it was a very BB move and not suited for the Race.

And the way people keep helping Jag and Jas is VERY Big Brother... and it has no place on TAR. It's so incredibly frustrating as a fan of the Race to see teams trying to suck up to comp beasts like they're playing Big Brother.

Oh my gosh, yes! Finishing placements switch up all the time on a normal season. But with the lead team starting over 7 hours before the last team, and the tasks being SUPER easy, even serious blunders, like Chelsie and Jack getting terribly lost, didn't even matter. It's not normally like this.

It was terrible leg design. The teams were so spread out that there was no chance for anyone to overtake the lead teams no matter how well they raced. The tasks were so easy that we saw almost no shuffling of order, despite some teams getting very lost. No tension. Leg outcome was per-determined.

I don't think we can be friends if you keep using that video....

what's crazy about the "who is the better player" discourse is that neither Morgan nor Ashley could've played half the game they did without each other. Morgan absolutely protected Ashley from the powers that wanted to target her, Ashley absolutely helped Morgan visualize the board #BB27

You should hang out with us more over here, Ethan!

I was never bothered by "Let's Go" on TAR until the BB people started doing it. 😭 I need help...

I don't remember the exact season, but it's some new era bullshit.

I will always encourage everyone I meet to go back and watch early seasons of TAR. There are so many great teams!

Sending you all my love! Hope all goes well for your mom!

It's definitely a first for this show... Teams do often work together when it's convenient... Like if they're ahead and struggling on the same detour. But writing out directions for each other way a new one for me... Totally dumb.

I think I'm even more annoyed about that team being perpetually in first because they're only in this position because a certain someone (JOSEPH) told them about those earlier train tickets last week

I miss the days of Mirna telling the travel agent not to sell tickets to Colin and Christie. #TAR38

And so far, there has been a complete lack of actual CHALLENGES on this season...

Where is the road block where they have to yodel a song from memory? Or do a cultural dance accurately? Or have to perfectly pronounce a difficult foreign alphabet?
