Probably airs on Wednesdays, and I think is available on Paramount+?? The Race: Look I'm not going to explain The Amazing Race outside of "Teams fly thousands of miles to shovel manure in Romania," you know what it is. The Twist: This is The Covid Season, where filming was ended in March of 2020 and racers were sent home. However, 18 months after filming ended, the remaining racers that were able to attend were brought back. It's hard to guess what this will look like, and what extra considerations have to be taken, from the route to slowing down alliances that formed during the 18 month downtime. It's extremely weird and should be for at least Strange Television. The Teams Ryan and Dusty  Relationship: Best Friends Claim to Fame: Ryan was wrongly convicted of murder and imprisoned for 10 years Energy they're bringing: Podcaster energy Arun and Natalie  Relationship: Father Daughter Claim to Fame: Natalie is smart as heck, and Arun has a "successful American Dream" immigrant story, but they're not high profile Energy they're bringing: Like every Father child team, the daughter figuring everything out and the father nitpicking while loving up, probably. Connie and Sam  Relationship: Married Couple Claim to Fame: They let a highschool football star live with them when he was on troubled times. Braheam Murphy now goes to Westpoint and plays Football there Energy they're bringing: In over their head parents  Raquel and Kayla  Relationship: Flight Attendants Claim to Fame: None! 👏 Energy they're bringing: High-energy ditziness. Michael and Moe  Relationship: Cops Claim to Fame: They went viral singing on some videos, probably. Energy they're bringing: Anything that's not Art & JJ, god please. Kim and Penn  Relationship: Whitest YouTubers on the Planet, former Anchor People Claim to Fame: They make (please don't gently caress up your recs when you click this) Holiday Family Parody Songs Energy they're bringing: White Caro and Ray  Relationship: Dating Claim to Fame: Met on Love Island! Energy they're bringing: Like all fresh dating couples, "partner discovery" at the worst possible time Anthony and Spencer  Relationship: Best Friends Claim to Fame: Stopped a Terrorist Attack on a Train Energy they're bringing: Military smugness Akbar and Sheri  Relationship: Married Couple Claim to Fame: Run an afterschool program to support their neighborhood, they rule. Also, played college basketball Energy they're bringing: In over their heads parents, but because they're not in as good shape as they used to be in their basketball days Taylor & Isiah  Relationship: Married Couple Claim to Fame: Did a Flash Dance at their wedding. Energy they're bringing: I think this is supposed to be the more high-energy young couple (though only Isiah is really younger). Lulu & Lala  Relationship: Twins Claim to Fame: Radio DJs in the New Jersey area Energy they're bringing: Twins and public personalities??? Immense gently caress up energy. If they were unknown they could have Natalie and Nadiya energy but alas 😔 Studio fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Jan 8, 2022 |

There's a bunch of stuff spoilered in terms of route and how many teams couldn't make it back for the rest of S33, but I'm not sure how many people care (since it should all be revealed in the next 1-2 weeks)

"For future reference, this says The Amazing Race. This is a clue."  I agree with liking the teams. The worst interaction was probably between Akbar and Sheri, and Akbar at least acknowledged this. I've seen enough Amazing Race to recognize when a player is being lovely without being aware of it, and showing remorse in a post-game interview gives me hope  .I'm curious if the Episode 1 and 2 tasks are being affected by Covid. Like there definitely seemed to be a huge discrepancy in how complicated the tasks were. "Shoot some darts" and "Walk around Britain a bit" versus the more traditional and complicated detours. My prediction for the teams that don't come back are Ray and Caro, since they broke up, and Connie and Dave since Connie was... 7 months pregnant when filming resumed?.

Oh whoa, I uh, was wrong about the covid teams. Connie & Sam, Caro & Ray, Anthony & Spencer, and Taylor & Isaiah are out, Arun & Natalia and Mike & Moe are back in?? Arun and Natalia and Michael and Moe are likely back. I reallllly wonder if the teams spent time improving themselves to better race? Or if there's some super distinct alliances that will do terrible things to the show like in 32. Anyhow, I hope Chris Underwood is channeling his energy into Arun and Natalia.

I think a lot of teams are just doing the one thing you shouldn't do, which is freak out over a relatively minor obstacle that if you spend like, a few seconds adjusting to is totally fine. which imo is cool and good, and they should keep doing

I think their problem was that they didn't know where to start, and like, instead of figuring it out they just decided to lose.

God I want Phil to say some dumb rear end detour in North Korea, that would rule. "Teams will have to pick between Detainment or Labor" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vlCrzdmSzA I found the VoD, but not speaking Vietnamese makes it uhhh, harder.

This last episode was extremely filler and had like, no space for actual advancement, especially with the teaming (more so with the failure lol). That said, was a few fun challenges, and honestly better than some of the other filler elimination legs they've had. Hell, I'd say it was better than some of the worse finales. I was super rooting for Arun and Natalia, and the more they can't keep up the more I want them to win. Like a mini-Josh and Brent it'll be awesome. IcePhoenix posted:That really was the perfect way for Sheri and Akbar to get eliminated. As soon as I saw how long he had to hike to get up the mountain I knew they were screwed. I think the Wikia confirms this. ||Since 3 person non-US legs are extremely pointless and they've largely stopped doing them, I would expect Elim, Non-Elim, Elim, Final||. Also I'll actually be able to keep up with Survivor live this season

Soysaucebeast posted:Wait there's a discord for this? Someone shoot me an invite. Yeeeah, I do not think there's enough activity to necessitate a Discord. That was entirely me trying to spoil something ||like this||, realizing it's not spoiled after posting, and forgetting to delete the discord tags after editing. I also watch as a west coaster, so I could not live post unless you're watching late, another knock against the discord 😔. Unless there's a CBS Casting Director that wants to chat in which case always down.

IcePhoenix posted:That episode was a hell of a trip for the only real change being a 4/5 swap No? Survivor starts the 9th right? So next week is the non-elim, Then I believe it's Leg 10 and 11 on March 2nd, starting at 8 PM Since the first episode had 2 legs (and technically 2 episodes??), despite being on the 8th airing, that was leg 9, and the series should end before Survivor. Which is important, I need to root against the woman who obviously is going to Stanford

Invite Michael and Moe back and reintroduce the starting line elimination (literally the worst twist of any TAR season), as a prank. Connie + Sam and Anthony + Spencer would be my pick of returnees from the eliminated. Both groups really seemed to have a grip on what they were doing when filming ended (3.66 and 4.33 average finish). Taylor and Isaiah did seem quite nice, but they also were just not great at the race. If they improved they'd also own.
