my mouth flew open at the drama at the end! I actually GASPED. I haven't seen that drama before on all the seasons I've seen of TAR. Man.

You mean the lesbians, le nubian? I thought they were being really obnoxious and changed the channel as soon as Phil asked Caite about them--what did they say?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Kathy,

I don't remember verbatim, but the dark-haired member of the couple (I'm terrible with names) started bitching out the models for U-turning them. I couldn't believe it! Now, I'm empathetic because I thought the models' reasons for U-turning them were suspect, but U-turn is within the rules of the race, people can U-turn whomever they'd like, you just have to suck it up.

I do hope TAR gets rid of the U-Turn in the future. No one survived it this season and I actually don't think that's quite fair.

The U-Turn, if they keep it, should use the challenges from the Speed Bumps. And the Speed Bumps need to be changed to something like both members having to do a Road Block, consecutively, or both sides of a Detour.

I haven't really liked any of the special challenges since they got rid of having a fast forward on every leg (which I understand doing for logistical production reasons). Something that just pops up a couple of times just isn't fair.

I'm with you megan. My feeling on the Speed Bump is if there is going to be a consequence for being last on a non-elim leg, the challenge should be a challenge. Flipping quarters or taking a sauna? With very little travel? Not much of a consequence.
