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

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?

omg the Turners were so far behind, they got Philiminated in the field... Terrible leg design. #TAR38

These tasks are all so easy! And no Detour this leg. I know they were trying to add more self driving, but if they make the self driving so close and easy, it doesn't do anything. Rubina and Kristine and Jack and Chelsie both got fully lost and were still fine.

Yes, please do watch the earlier seasons! There's so much better TAR out there!! There's some pure gold in the earliest seasons.

That's even worse.... 😭

This episode has had some of the worst leg design I've ever seen. And I've watched every season of this show.

I need someone to ask Phil if they intentionally had such bad leg design this season cause... yikes... It's bad. I'm really embarrassed I told all my BB friends to watch this show... #TAR38

Megan: "I think we'll be able to catch up to everyone."

Meanwhile Jag and Jas were checking into the pit stop as the Turners were just starting the leg. #TAR38

They were on the cancelled train. Until the race puts in a bunch, there's not really any chance for them to improve their standing. They're leading their back group, though.

Whit @whitless256.bsky.social · 4h

Not Jack literally knowing exactly where the clue would be based on where every other team abandoned their plows... Terrible task design. Did #TAR38 call in the B team for this season??

Okay, Alex emptying the beer bottles might be that major mistake they need. 😭 #TAR38

Whit @whitless256.bsky.social · 4h

Reminder that the Turners left the pit stop almost an hour behind Kat and Alex. Given the current leg layout, there is literally no opportunity for them to catch up without one of the other teams at the back making a MAJOR mistake. #TAR38

They usually bunch before now... I'm sure they weren't expecting the train issues to be so severe last leg (full train cancellation is a big deal), but they could have easily changed the opening hours on the brewery from 9am to noon.

And it looks like the "self driving" to the next task was very easy navigation. Only one team even remotely got lost and the drive was only about an hour. So not even a chance for navigation woes to make a difference, as we saw with Chelsie and her dad. So frustrating.

Tonight on #TAR38

Team Guido from Season 1 of The Amazing Race in Alaska, getting the note that they have lost the race.

I purposefully avoided spoilers so...

They're playing Big Brother "no blood on my hands" instead of Amazing Race.

Plus... They're SO FAR AHEAD of the back teams, it literally doesn't even matter.
