BlueCrystalTear 07/17/19 9:05:46 AM #325:	TAR22 - through episode 9: Swiss Alps are always nice, as was that Switchback. Glad to see Chuck & Wynona go - they were starting to get on my nerves. She was so whiny Night leg in Germany was AWESOME. I couldn't help but notice that it was set up for six teams, though. There were six Ford Fusions in Dresden and six clues at the Roadblock. Did something change with the Speed Bump? Also, what the hell was with the Michigan license plate? That's the Autobahn, and I wouldn't think a U.S. license plate would be over there. Was that perhaps stock footage from Ford, shot in Detroit? Updated team opinions... Max & Katie - Katie just won me over completely with the Legends of the Hidden Temple reference. She's already very CPM, which makes her quite compelling as someone who came to play as a villain. Joey & Meghan - These two are still fun. For some reason, I remembered a low opinion of them, but they're not being shoved down any throats. They get fun little moments here and there but those are decreasing as the stress of the Race continues. Caroline & Jennifer - One of my favorite teams. A lot of fun to have around. That said, they WANT to go to the end with the strongest team there? Uhh. Bates & Anthony - They're alright. Nice guys for the "jock bro" type especially. They're not doing as much for me as they could. Mona & Beth - Like with the Bowling Moms, "Your kids are going to be so proud of you!" never gets old. However, these two feel kind of just... there. Their competitive spirit seems to be dying. They didn't think to jilt the hockey bros on the way to the Pit Stop, doing something like pulling over two blocks early, then driving ahead and making the mat first. ~ Chuck & Wynona - Annoying. She whined too much. He wasn't supportive of her, though seeing as she was already complaining and was holding them back I can't necessarily blame him. They have "divorce" written all over them. Pam & Winnie - Fun girls. Strong team. Only somewhat memorable, though, as they didn't really have any defining moments that would transcend seasons. And that last statement is something about this season: While it's really good, it's not TAR5 for me. TAR5 had memorable moments and memorable teams galore while going to places like fucking Egypt. This season has had great leg design and some great locations, but it doesn't have the Colin/Mirna war, Colin's subsequent series of meltdowns, or the same ridiculous amount of CP teams. It does have John's self-humiliation (that was OTTN), the Botswanan speed trap, and a few good little things, at least. It's a top 5 season. But having just rewatched TAR5... yeah. --- BlueCrystalTear \| GNT BB4 Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner 3DS 4356-4163-4781 \| (((FREE HUGS))) \| You're living your own life.
