TAR watchers, is this season similar to, or better or worse than previous ones?
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

I can't believe someone actually managed to get thrown by a fake pony. Would've been even funnier if it were the cowboys though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess similar, if you don't mind people who seem fairly dumb, but are racing OK anyway. I find most of them generally entertaining, and the cowboys, at least, a delightful surprise.
I have to share Comcast's description of this episode:
The nine remaining teams travel from Chile to Argentina, where the members of one team end up in an emergency room and another team overestimate their ability to use a compass.

Art Crawl!!!
So true.
These people need to learn how to read and understand a clue.

I would have been disappointed if the cowboys had gotten all the way to Argentina and DIDN'T get to meet/see some gauchos. Sometimes the challenges just work out to a team's advantage.
I would have loved to have seen the casting call for the bandits: "Bring me Argentina's best Clint Eastwood impersonator!"
Team Dumb Pretty Models get points from me from bouncing back from a rather uncomfortable night. They were damn lucky to have a 6 hour bus ride to get it together, though DAMN I'd have been sad to have slept through what has to be one of the more spectacular bus rides you can take.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My Tivo rebooted ten minutes in, so I guess I'll watch online tomorrow.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, I`m just stepping into TAR. I can see why you all have been liking the cowboys. They are cute as buttons and definitely saavy. I loved that he expects to get ribbed for missing that first lasso shot.
I don`t know the teams well enough to know who I like yet. Are the lesbian couple the only McBickersons?

This was their first go at bickering. But they sure took to it.
I didn't like the poker challenge. Seemed a silly way to pick up the gnome.

At least, the only bickering we've seen. Actually a fair number of the teams haven't been spotlighted much, including the father-daughter. As the fatigue wears down the teams, we'll see who reverts to bickering mode.
