I may be in the minority here, but I don't mind James & Will and it's Leo & Alana who are annoying me. From what I remember, the main reason they U-Turned Leo & Alana is because of seeing what they did to the Olympians and not wanting to risk being put in the same position where Leo & Alana could screw them over like that too; then the U-Turn failed and no big, James & Will decided to just move on, whereas Leo & Alana just will not let it drop and have been snippy and bitter as hell, makes me wish they'd just shut up about it and move on. That being said, this leg was a ton of fun, the challenges were right up my alley in regards to stuff I'd love to try doing. On the other hand, huge yikes on the eliminated team, I was baffled on how they spent so long in their car like that, how could they get lost that badly. Are we watching the same show? What did Leo and Alanna do to the Olympians??? Will wants to play the game and it is obvious he thinks that Leo and Alanna are his rivals, and that they have a skillset that can beat him. He set up the U Turn to hopefully eliminate them. Will is so gloating over the situation and I don't think gives a fig about the Olympians. If the cars were in a position to drive around Will I am sure all of them would have. I give Leo a lot of credit for being smart getting in Will's car and moving it and having enough saffy not to tell the team what they were doing wrong. I was surprised that Leo and Alanna did not Yield Will or James when they had the chance, the episode just skimmed over that part. What Leo & Alana did was help specific teams to specifically get the Olympians to land in last place. I don't blame them for wanting the Olympians gone, as it's scary to go against them in a foot race, but even though it wasn't against the rules, it was still pretty cutthroat. Will & James figure that if Leo & Alana are willing to help other teams to get other specific teams eliminated, then they see those two as a threat, not wanting to risk Leo & Alana doing the same thing to them that they did to the Olympians if such an opportunity were to arise. And again, Will & James have pretty much let the whole thing drop, whereas Leo & Alana continue to be really snippy and bitchy about the whole thing. |

I love this show. I know it was filmed almost two years ago, but seeing Paris again emphasized to me how much I am missing the travel on the Bachelorette...even though it is never as good as on this show.
I loved Paris when I was there and it was so fun to see and recognize some of the places that I had been. And the Chantilly cream...yum! I ate it everyday with my crepes. All I could think watching those pies flying was what a waste...even though it was funny.
For anyone who loves travel and has never been...go!!! It is one of my favourite places. Best day...wandering around Paris on a Sunday morning. The streets are practically empty and most places are closed. Go with a picnic lunch and wander the Luxembourg Gardens. Amazing that a big city with a ton of tourists still manages to feel so relaxing.

Leo and Alanna aren't my favorites, but Will and James got mad at them for just helping another team. Then W&J turned around and colluded with 4 or 5 other teams, continually asking for and offering help. I find that to be super hypocritical of them. It was just not okay for L&A to help because they don't like the blondes (or didn't like them more than the other teams that were in the back of the pack.) Will and James don't get to choose who other teams help. They lost my support as a team when they acted that way. Even though I think I'd be terrible at that art challenge, I really liked it. I felt so bad for the woman from the brother/sister team who tried 16 times before getting it.  So many other teams passed them while she was struggling with that. I would have been collapsed on the floor in a sobbing heap. I admire her for continuing to try! |

If that is so then Will and James are doing the same thing to Leo and Alana as Leo and Alana did to the Olympians. However I do find Will to be quite bitchy and catty much, much, much more so than the other couple. |

Finally watched this episode. Loved it! I wish I could have done all of those challenges. The carnival looked like so much fun. The art gallery was interesting. I wouldn't even mind getting hit with a couple of pies. I only wish Leo and Alanna would stop being petty.
My favorite teams of the teams who are left are the guys with the beards who came in first this leg of the race, the football players and the blondes.

My favorite teams of the teams who are left are the guys with the beards who came in first this leg of the race, the football players and the blondes. Seriously how are they being petty? They are angry over what they feel is being singled out by Will and James, when in their minds eye all they were doing was helping out teams that were friendly to them. Personally I think posters are really expecting this incredibly high standard of human behavior. This has happened before on TAR. I don't blame Leo and Alanna for being upset. As for petty, again I think they are being incredibly restrained. I know how I would act and I would look like a "bat out of hell" for multiple episodes compared to this couples behavior. Why are folks so focused on this behavior when Will was pouting about Leo's behavior and what was that all about. Dude he helped you. And there were the Cajun Asian sisters who had meltdowns and I know Michelle is not a favorite. I don't get the Will luv from folks. He came across nasty from episode one. Maybe he isn't in real life but that is how he is being portrayed on this season of TAR. |

I always feel that professional athletes have an unfair advantage over the other teams so I am not sad when they are eliminated. |

I actually really like the blondes, they are such a sweet and positive team... I will admit nothing at all like I expected, I am so happy I was wrong. I do not see them doing well based on how they have done thus far but they are SO fun to watch.
I do not see how any professional athletes that have been cast have any true advantage over anyone honestly.. they may be a bit more athletic than your average parent/kid, dating couple, or sibling team but how many have ever won the race? 1 team, the Hockey Brothers, season 22. For the most part there have be a hand full of 2/3/4 places but they are not THAT common and the 2nd place finishes were the 2nd appearance of the Globetrotters (who, not to offend, were never in their prime when they appeared on the show) and the NFL cheerleader team (does that count as a professional athlete?). I think that given the teams the show has had that could be considered pro athletes and their typical placement when eliminated shows how well rounded the challenges can be. If they had an unfair advantage we would have seen many more wins by these 'pro' teams.
