One of these days I want to really dig into the concept of morality on a reality/game show like this. Big Brother and Survivor get it especially bad, with people getting bent out of shape that their opponents in this game for a huge sum of cash use the mechanics of the game (alliances, backstabs, Vetos, Immunity Idols, U-Turns, etc etc etc) to win. I mean, seriously, who is honestly expecting to show up to a game and not play to win?

The Gunslinger posted:Why didn't green team get uturned when the cheerleaders chose them? Or is that the next leg? That was the U-Turn before the pit-stop. The cheerleaders were the last team to arrive and their U-Turn was pointless.

GuavaMoment posted:Is this the first season where a team was penalized because the non-competing person at the roadblock helped their teammate? From years of watching I could tell it was obviously a rule, but I've never seen any one get called for it before. I've always wondered what the exact rules were on it. A lot of the roadblock challenges seem to separate the teammates enough that they can't really help; but I guess it makes sense that if one person is doing the challenge, the other can't assist.

3peat posted:In my country we have a stereotype about americans being stupid, and I swear this show is trying it's best to reinforce that stereotype to me. How the hell would none of them know the motto of the french revolution, which is like the most important event in the last 1000 years of human history? Even if they'd have a brain fart, how would they not remember it after seeing the first word? None of them even managed to pronounce those 3 words remotely right French Revolution as the most important event of the last millennia of history? I don't deny that it's significant...but why is it the most important?

Part of me feels bad for the cheerleaders, especially because I know that I have a great deal of trouble opening my eyes underwater...but man; 5 tries at one challenge....you kinda deserve the loss at the point.

Are "zany YouTube personalities" really any different than "zany newscasters, super fans, cheerleaders, etc" It's just a profession

I'm only watching for Burnie. I hope he's not out too early.

I'm like this at the start of every season of every CBS reality show. "Who the gently caress are all these people!?!" I don't even think it's a problem with this season at all; give it a couple eliminations and the standouts will start to distinguish themselves.

I wouldn't be surprised if the excessive wackiness greatly decreases after the first couple legs. 1) editing will most like spend more time on drama than lolmonleycheese vine hits, 2) the teams that spend too much time goofing off and not enough time focusing on the race will get eliminated.

sportsgenius86 posted:I'm assuming they think these people are actually famous and they want to hook their "fans" before they eliminate anyone. Some of these people are actually famous. Did you not catch the scene of some of them getting stopped for photos at the airport?

aidoru posted:Famous in an incredibly select group of people. The only reason my mom knew any of these people was because she saw the magic vine guy on an episode of the Today show. Is that any different than any other season? Do you regularly know all the teams from a given season?

Victorkm posted:In my opinion, penalties should have been handed out for teams who used Burnie's answer for the bench. Teams working together has never been penalized before; only if the sitting-out team member helps on a roadblock.

Yes, because absolutely none of Cole's personality is an act for the benefit of the camera, and is 100% representative of his day to day life.

WampaLord posted:I still can't get over that he was such a thick meathead that they had to use the Express Pass on that water puzzle thing because he's too dumb to understand "line up the floating letters with the letter shaped holes." I'm pretty sure he understood what he was supposed to be doing...just failing at making it happen.
