TAR 7.4

[drewbear]

Previously: Questionably Lesbians screwed up but major, Reality Retreads still think they're on Survivor, Surfer Bros got a flat.

Argentinian caballeros are certainly part of the local culture. It's neat that the PTBs are including it.

$45 for the leg? Is it just me, or are the monetary amounts really low this season?

Okay, the ranch is a psuedo-bunch since the leading team got there only 30 minutes before it opens. I'm *still* not happy with the continual outta-the-gate bunching, but this one isn't as egregious as past instances.

Cool! Horsey obstacle course!

Poor Joyce. That horse doesn't like her very much, does it?

5 hour flight difference? Wow. So the PTBs are including massive bunching yet also making being first matter. About damn time.

Geez. Ray's a real piece of work. I don't want him to die (yet), but can someone run over his foot for me?

Okay, so the first 4 teams to leave the Pitstop made it onto the first flight.

Okay, so Amber's little smug-fit just brought her even with Rob in my hate-book. And the fact that they got to the airport as the plane was boarding and still got on?! Feh.

I think I see why Ray/Deanna are "Dating On & Off". It's because they can't stand each other, but nobody else wants to date either of them. What a great thing on which to base a relationship.

For all their occasional bickering, Susan and Patrick seem to have a reasonably good mother/son relationship.

I REALLY want a cab driver to just drive off with someone's stuff. And I want it to be Rob&Amber's stuff.

Is it just me, or does the clue-holder in Buenos Aires look like a flasher?

::snerk:: If it's wrong to be amused that Rob/Amber got referred to as an STD, then I don't want to be right.

Hmm... I think I'd rather do the ship. You know where all the ships are and I'm reasonably good at visual IDing.

Team Queeny? You're in a small, shallow boat. Of course water is going to get in.

Good gods, these boats all seem really crappy.

I know that the "no time credit for broken vehicle" rule has been in effect for several seasons, but I never quite understood it. Why not at least give them credit for the time lost due to waiting for the replacement?

Y'know, it's not so much that Rob/Amber have good luck as that they seem to direct bad luck to their opponents.

::sigh:: And they're first again. It still really bothers me that acting so exploitatively with regards to the rules worked out in their favor.

And now the second flight gets in. It seems almost anti-climactic now.

::wince:: Watching such false hope in a team I like is painful. Of course, the trains are only something like 5, 10 minutes apart, so it's not as big a deal as it could be.

And Meredith and Gretchen just re-demonstrated the problem with following another team without knowing why.

Ray's a hypercompetitive jackass.

Yup. Susan and Patrick are screwed unless this is non-elim.

And there they go. ::sigh:: At least they get to spend the next few weeks at the luxurious Sequesterville.

Next week: 2 hours! Ray takes the high road? Gretchen falls, Uchenna cries, Surfer Bros blow out.

I don't know. Considering that Lynn and Alex seemed to be the only ones affected by the opening of the place, I don't really think it's bunching. It's cutting it close, but still, not so much.

Next week is going to KILL ME DEAD. With all of the stuff in the preview, no wonder it's two hours long. *happy flails*
