Say Cheese - Racers travel by private jet to Corsica, France, where they go canyoneering through the beautiful landscape of natural rockslides, waterfalls and rivers.
Enjoy the show!

I am so glad for now everybody passed them. That comment towards the flight attendants was so obnoxious. They probably will find some way to catch up and unfortunately not get eliminated.

Reality show heaven. Just finished Celebrity BB and now the Amazing Race!
I like them having their own plane.
Bring on Corsica!

There was never a need to turn heat down. As soon as you reach your temperature to add culture, it will cool the mixture down. Then you just have to wait for the temp to rise and curdling will begin. How could someone who has made cheese before Not know that?
I like Ryan and Dusty, but I’m glad that they messed up, they needed a little humility. I just hope it doesn’t cost them the race.

Whenever someone says they have done this before and they hope they don't mess up...you know they will. It's left in there for a reason.

Say Cheese! Omg Dusty and Ryan were last, but as soon as they ran through the mule task, I knew they'd catch up.( but 3rd,) Amazing Akbar the athelete , was really dragging his butt, making all sorts of excuses. Sheri didn't call him out , and she could of. I knew if they came in last, it would be his fault. The scenery was beautiful, that jumping on the water and zipline was great ! I'm so happy for Kim and Penn .👏👏👏

Akbar is lucky to have such a good wife.
I’m glad Ryan is still in the race, Dusty….not so much!

Akbar sure showed he too is not a young athlete anymore.
I can't wait to hear his excuse to Sheri on why he was passed by everyone.

I can't say I'm sorry to see the last of Akbar. And Sherri has much more restraint that I would have had in the same situation. I soooo wanted him to apologize to her after he couldn't do something athletically after ragging on her for not being able to keep up. But I guess that was too much to ask for.
Really liking Penn and Kim--they're the antithesis of Akbar. I was going to say Akbar and Sherri, but in that relationship, it's pretty clear where the problem lies.

I really like Natalia and her dad. They don't get mad at one another when they mistakes and still seem to manage to have fun.
The twins are also growing on me. Their attitude did a big turnaround during the covid pause.
OMG...maggot cheese next week.

Enjoyed the episode, was hoping for Dusty and Ryan to be eliminated, but you can't even hate them they both have good attitudes. Just physically they seem way above the rest of the teams. It would have been funny though to have Akbar and Sheri beat them.
The twins can't get mad at the flight attendants for racing ahead on that canyoning portion. There is a certain point in the race if you can race ahead of the team you are working with you have too.
So glad to see Arun and Natalia do better. This is why I like watching the Amazing Race, teams that are clumsy but learning vs the physical specimens that are Dusty and Ryan.
Sheri is a saint not yelling at Akbar. Was he even trying? All I heard was I am a big guy and can't move fast. Ugh, I thought basketball players were known for endurance and speed and agility?
So glad none of the teams helped Dusty and Ryan during the cheese making, for a second there I thought Arun was going to.
The muscle shots of D & R was a bit much at the Pit Stop. Glad the Flight Attendants pointed it out as did the host at the Pit Stop.

I missed that comment -- what did they say? Me too what happened? I think it was something along the lines of that they got passed by the flight attendants and that never happens. Personally I didn't find it that offensive. Smart a**, yes. Not in the best taste, but not offensive. They admit to being a physical team and live for physical challenges and let's be realistic, physically they are the strongest team there. They are very competitive and they know they can out muscle any team there. They have high expectations for themselves. Sure it can be annoying to the other teams and to us viewers, but it is a fact.

Corsica is beautiful and that canyoning challenge looked like a total blast.
I felt bad for the twins not reading their clue which really slowed them down. TAR 101: always read the clue thoroughly.
IMO, D & R's training in the mountains in-between the long covid pit stop is really helping them out. I don't think it's just being fit, but they trained for altitude too and there have been several challenges now in the mountains. D&R really put their all into it and pulled themselves from last to third. Passing Akbar helped but then they passed two more teams by hustling and getting their kayak blown up faster.
I was a little surprised there was no speed bump challenge since last week was a non-elimination leg. I wonder if that's related to covid.

That was a satisfying episode. The challenges looked fun! Penn and Kim won first. Dusty and Ryan don't get first (even though I am rooting for them - mostly because Ryan deserves a lifetime of wonderful things, but also liked their attitude to come back - BUT at some point its getting a bit boring if they are always in first).
I like the flight attendants more and more - I was laughing at their mat nonsense - loved it! Then Arun and Natalia come back for a 4th - really like them so pleased about that. Those are the 4 teams I am rooting for.
Of course Abkar going home was my first choice, even though I like Sherri.Completely pleased it was his fault they went home and glad he admitted, though of course when he does he is leaving it all on the mat so its ok . . . ((roll eyes)) . . . Good job on Sherri taking the high road, he *is* a lucky guy!
I don't dislike Lala and Lulu so while I am not "rooting" for them, I am happy with the final 5 and excited to finish this season. Annoying racers wear on me and now he is gone so it should be a great season!

The canyoning challenge looked like a blast, I'd much rather do that than bungee jump.
I also enjoyed yelling at Akbar as he slogged through the canyon. Hurry up! People are passing you! What are you doing?!
I won't miss him. I would say I hope for him to take a hard look at his attitude when he watches the show, but he probably won't.

He didn't. He was on Penn and Kim's recap last week and he excused his behavior. HE said something about "white" people not understanding as well as the athlete thing again. One of the flight attendants defended him as well about non-athletes not understanding. I was an athlete (though not anywhere at that level) and my husband was an athlete - both state level champion in his field as well as very competitive racer (cyclist) after HS, thru and after college- and my husband has never remotely acted like that in a competitive situation (and I would and have been the Sherri). Penn and Kim were completely quiet during the excusing of his behavior.

Just admit you're an a-hole and move along. Competitive does not mean being ugly to your teammate. As an "athlete," he had the opportunity to train and get in better shape during the break. What's his excuse for that?

I’m watching these episodes on demand when I get a chance. I still cry at the beginning wishing my sister were here to add her commentary. 💜 I love these challenges and personalities! So many times the contestants have made me laugh. Corsica looked amazing. Such a beautiful and rugged place.

I guarantee you, she is with you in those moments. That's her time to connect with you, on a different level yes, (sadly), but she is still with you in your heart and always will be!

I finally watched last night I've been so busy. While I was glad that Ryan and Dusty did not get another first place, I'm glad they did not get eliminated, they went from dead last to 3rd place great come back.
I think Corsica is beautiful. This is only the second time TAR has gone there so it was due for another visit. At this point I find myself rooting for Kim and Penn the most, I really like them a lot. I'm glad that Akbar was responsible for the elimination, he was really rude to his wife all season.
