TAR22 Episode 5:
The embarrassment for John continues. The intro made him look bad, the other teams were baffled by how he got eliminated with the Express Pass (though some of them didn't know it was John being stubborn and arrogant about it - Joey and Winnie, however, did). I don't quite understand why Joey & Meghan and Mona & Beth were targeted for the U-Turn - what did that little alliance do to the other teams? I am under the impression that nobody really liked John - as is deserved for such a douchenozzle - so any friends of his are enemies of theirs. It was the reason that stuck.

WTF equalizer IN Hanoi? The airport wasn't enough of one? On a leg with a U-Turn? UGH. Hate that. There could have been a night leg - those are always fun. TAR31 had three of those in the first five episodes.

So Dave & Connor technically quit but really, Dave's orthopedic surgeon pulled him from the game. It counts as a MedEvac, imo. Another note... Joey & Meghan could've picked who to U-Turn better, but I get why they wanted a guarantee. I don't get why they didn't recognize that they were in 2nd given how only one U-Turn slot was used and could U-Turn practically anyone else. Of course, it didn't matter since the leg became non-elimination due to the MedEvac. But I'd have thought Bates & Anthony - the ringleader alpha males. They were blissfully unaware that Chuck & Wynona were still on their FIRST Detour, too, xD


Cast opinions so far...
Bates & Anthony - Okay, I know these guys win. They're huge threat alpha males, and for that reason I don't particularly like them. There's not much interesting stuff about them quite yet.
Caroline & Jennifer - Such great TV. I love it when they sing for funsies. They're also quite blonde. Did you forget to read your fucking clue? It's happened many a time. At least they're humble about it. (don't spoil me, but I think they're fourth?)
Chuck & Wynona - Wynona is useless, so I get why Chuck doesn't listen. Chuck is doing every last Roadblock, meaning those two ain't long for the Race. How they took so damn long to realize they needed to hold hands on the hopscotch dance task, how they neglected to bring replacement chickens, how they got so lost multiple times, and how they're many hours behind due to being U-Turned are also factors.
Joey & Meghan - Fun, but Joey has the potential to become obnoxious. He hasn't yet. They took being U-Turned decently well. They're more delightfully geeky than I expected from what I remembered + hearsay.
Max & Katie - The villain team. Katie has RBF and is so bad at hiding it whenever she feels she has to. Admittedly. I can see why these two keep to themselves a lot. They're not outwardly friendly, but yet they're compelling to root against in the same way as Brandon & Nicole. Only they're not hypocritical fake Christians, they're just kind of mean. Because it's fun.
Mona & Beth - The Bowling Moms they are not, since they lack the CP edits. They still seem like fun, competitive people. They're just unmemorable compared to much of this cast.
Pam & Winnie - These two are fun. Not the most memorable, but still fun.

Dave & Connor - Was sad to see how they went out. The storyline was over-presented by Phil, however, so I didn't quite find myself rooting for them to persevere (partly because I knew they didn't, but I thought they were properly eliminated and not MedEvac'd). It's Phil and not Jeff, at least.
Jessica & John - She was great. His self-embarrassment was glorious. I've talked that to death now.
Idries & Jamil - Dumb to think of quitting a Detour before switching. There's no way both tasks involve the same swimming skillset. Deserved to be eliminated. Only interesting moment with them is how they presented themselves as "deliverymen" - hey, that's not exactly a lie, since they deliver babies.
Matt & Daniel - Boring, yet conceited. Bad combination. Good that they're gone.
