Screaming @ "YES! YES! YES! I TOLD YOU! IN YOUR FACE!"

Dave & Irina might be my favourite team this season

[Headie]

Jet & Dave going from 2nd to last because of a wrong turn

I'm kinda glad they were eliminated first though as it means it's a fresh cast for the season now.

Loving the Moms, the Indian siblings, the black girls and of course Irina & Dave after that premiere

I like Aarthy/Thinesh too, but they're a dating couple.

Oh oops, think I must've been thinking about the indian siblings from a few seasons back who I also liked

Sometimes I think American reality television is ****e but then I watch TrashCan and see them do a Roadblock revolving around the Lion King trailer and reconsider.

That being said, this leg wasn't terrible? Makes a lot of sense when you learn that the story producer from seasons 5 and 6 left to go infect RPDR Canada The leg design was ****e and the tasks themselves were not good but the teams were fun enough to make it work? Irina was the runaway star so I'm rooting for her and Dave to aggressively compete and DOMINATE the race, never letting anyone pass them ever. Nicki and Aisha's struggles to find the Pit Stop were fun, Anthony and James seem cute, Aarthy and Thinesh hopefully are shown to be the bickering couple they promise to be, Joanne sucks, and Jet and Dave were good and fun as usual but I'm kinda glad they're gone? Seemed to be going through the motions and I'd rather get to know new teams (famous last words, hopefully the edit actually lets us get to know them this year)

Sukhi/Jinder from TARCAN2 have gotta be the greatest brother-sister team on any Amazing Race to date.

[Valmafra]

Au contraire, the Vine girl's more Martina than Riya.

[arista]

What if one of them Die's?

[starry]

First leg, glad about the elimination, teams that try hard to be funny rarely are.

The second leg was much better, harder tasks. A shame a team got help at the train task instead of having to work it out for themselves. And what's with this weird obsession with express passes in this show? Would have preferred the penultimate team to survive as they could be funny.

[Headie]

That might be a contender for one of the most boring legs in history???

A shame Nicki & Aisha were eliminated, the sisters annoy the crap outta me.

[starry]

I don't think it was boring, all those falls on that bike course for instance. No glorified commercial like we had in the first leg.

With that said, neither of the first two boots were ideal a la TAR25.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Back from vacation and watched last week's episode and it was kinda ****e and 7/9 teams were UTR or MOR sooooo we're officially back in TrashCan on-season!

[Valmafra]

More like, that Japanese Roadblock had more cultural relevance than all the tasks from the S31 premiere put together.

To top it off, there's the first good boot of the season!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Lauren/Joanne One Waying a hearing impaired woman to a singing and dancing Detour really doesn't sit well with me at all, just saying that they really suck!

[Valmafra]

As a viewer who's enjoying both Trish/Amy as well as Joanne/Lauren, it's hilarious how shook/pressed/etc. the Clubstertards are about the Lavoie Sisters simply existing.

[Macie Lightfoot]

That episode was great? Lots of taxi craziness, Sarah having geologists teach her how to read a map and then begging them for money, Aarthy had a fun breakout, and Dave and Idina continued to be absolutely CRAZY people who I ****ing adore. They are officially inducted into my TARCan trilogy with Sukhi/Jinder and Jillian/Emmett

[Headie]

Yeah this ep was great but idk I'm still not that invested? Like I just don't care enough about it I don't think compared to other seasons/versions. Doesn't help that they still haven't been out of Canada yet (will they even?)

Dave & Irina are one of the best teams ever tho

This is my favourite Arista post ever

[starry]

The best part was definitely map reading in the cold, that created the most credible drama. I'm not sure why Irina didn't at least have a go at the roadblock, but taking the 2 hour penalty when already far ahead may not have been that risky a tactic. Going away from the maps to ask for help was simultaneously clever and stupid for the different reasons shown (success at task but money problems).
