10/12 - TAR 34 Show Discussion

Yeah, I couldn't believe the pink haired woman was such a snot, giving up without even trying! That poor man really has his hands full with that one. She's horrible.

Father/daughter girl was not handling the stress well, either.

I'm with you, Midol they're ridiculous!

I love the twins!! And Derek and Claire too. Even though the two brothers haven't done anything terrible, I find myself rooting against them for some reason.

Motivational speakers love each other. On their anniversary, with tears streaming from her eyes, they are the last team to arrive. 10/12 episode. I guess we don’t have a thread tonight, so I’ll just move here and move tomorrow.
Although I am not sad to see them leave, I do appreciate that they wanted to stay, unlike father daughter ( she wanted to quit). But, she, told Phil, half heartedly that she would continue. For her dad, who really wants to play. Have these people never watched this show to know how tough these challenges are?

I guess we know which team is likely to leave next week.

I thought Sharik acted like a little beyotch. Everyone was tired, but her father is so nice. I wish she'd just left,  but then I'd feel sorry for him. "I want to go home, I've had enough."  Good heavens girl, you chiseled  one little statue. 

Pinky was crying, ready to give up, some motivator she is. Maybe I have powers, I did say last week ⬇️ and they were!!

I'm taking orders for next week..  Florence  was beautiful,  the architecture,  wow! 

OMGosh the utter disgust I felt for Sharika and Dom/Rainbow Brite 2.0 almost ruined the show for me.

Have these people EVER watched the show before? Rainbow Brite really got on my nerves when she the designated navigator and who cannot read a map or navigate using one was constantly harping at her partner to watch the road signs as they drove toward Florence. You can drive all you want and read every road sign but if your navigator does not tell you the names of the correct road signs and destinations reading road signs does not help. It looked as if Rich (her partner) was attempting to read the map and drive at the same time. Thank you for NOT helping Rainbow Brite.

Then the emotional breakdown at the sculpture challenge. Really? Well be thankfully you didn't have to unroll a 100 rolls of hay, or roll cheese down a mountain.

Rainbow Brite reminds me of a person who talks a lot about how great they are but in real life just can't do the actual events/tasks they claim they are so great at.

Sharika. You do understand this is the closest you will ever get to your share of one million dollars and you want to up and quit because your hands hurt from doing manual labor for an hour or two? What a whinny baby, having a temper tantrum at age 23. Your poor father. Who raised you to be this way. If Linton could have gotten a new partner I would have dumped Sharika on the side of the road and told her to make her own way home. Now that would have been stressful and anxiety inducing.

Is this how they raise kids in the USA now? Rainbow Brite is 35, Sharika is 23 and they freak out over a little hard work. Again with Rainbow after she READ THE CLUE she calmed down.

In both these cases Rich and Linton the male partners were amazingly patient and supporting.

I do think that again Rich and Dom (Rainbow Brite) failed to READ THE CLUE about the fashion challenge and helped them come in last.

Were not Rich and Dom and Linton and Sharika at the checkpoint tables at the same time for that last challenge? Didn't they see each other? Was it a close finish or just editing?

Personally I have Paramount+ so now watch Survivor when it airs and watch Amazing Race on Paramount+ the next day.  Also better to watch both without commercials.   Watched the first Love Boat episode and knew that would be the only one I watched of that.  Hoping this doesn't kill Amazing Race due to ratings of this change.

I do too.

Not only was Sharika being a brat to her dad...she was a complete brat to Phil! So disrespectful, and Phil looked annoyed and sounded fed up. She really is old enough to behave better.

I wonder how that woman's motivational career will move forward after she wanted to quit without trying. Her inauthenticity drove me crazy; the performative 'beautiful Black queens' being said repeatedly was tiresome. We get it, you support other women.

I really would have liked to see Rich and Linton be FREED from their partners and create a new Team Formerly Suppressed Men Freed From Whinny Females. 

I wonder if I'm the only one who was fine with Dom. Like, she wasn't a favorite or anything, but she didn't annoy me. I'd take her over Sharik any day. At least Dom decided to go for the Roadblock despite her initally wanting to take a penalty, and continued forth until elimination despite knwoing they were very likely eliminated, whereas Sharik had been taking a backseat on doign any Roadblocks, and just doing one sent her in this ugly tantrum that lasted the rest of the leg.

Like, wow, her constant whining and petulant behavior, even making a scene in front of Phil and the local greeter, was so ugly that it legit made me wish they'd gotten eliminated. I feel sorry for her dad having to put up with that behavior, even the passive-aggressive tone and eye rolling when she said she'd continue racing, you could tell she didn't even mean it. Why would she even bother coming into the race in the first place?!

I thought  the motivation  speakers were a) strange and b) phoney.
