What's with TAR and Survivor swapping contestants? In addition to the two above, the annoying twinnies from TAR are on this season's Survivor. C'mon, CBS, stop recycling your reality TV people. (On that note, it Big Brother CBS? Hadn't TAR's Rachel been on that show? I don't watch it...)

I hate crossovers, too.

And not a good sign that TAR is now on Fridays ... but I'm still gonna watch.

But TAR is still winning the Emmy every year so I don't think it will be canceled until they don't win anymore. I'm glad it is on Fridays now. I hated trying to guess what time it was really going to start after football on Sunday. Even to DVR it was messed up. I had to DVR the show after it also.

I know, wrong thread, but I'm happy with Survivor so far this season. Can't wait for TAR

Maya is a member of Delta Sigma Theta! She is my friend's line sister so we will be watching.

ETA: My mistake! She is NOT a member. She is my friend's good friend who she loves LIKE a SISTER. I misheard "line sister" and just got clarification. Sorry y'all!

simply BUMPING toward the top as REMINDER FOR NEW DAY OF WEEK, SEASON PREMIER TONIGHT....

Sister Havana · #9 09-27-2014, 03:39 AM

Oh, how adorable are Tim and Te Jay? They're my favorites so far.

Cheerio · #10 10-03-2014, 08:53 PM

Oops, guess I should have RACED home tonight to watch TAR, I'm probably missing it right now! Darn CBS for changing the telecast night.

Tulip86 · #11 10-11-2014, 10:24 AM

Just watched last night's episode. I just love Scotland, so happy the Race went there.
Tim & Te Jay, Amy & Maya and Shelley & Nici are my favorites so far.

Much to my surprise, I'm enjoying the season a lot!!!

Although the husband dentist is a little .... scary looking? I know that's mean. But he is smart! I never knew dentists had to take the MCAT.

(I knew how to use that compass from orienteering classes as a kid ... but I was impressed by how he figured it out.)

LOVED this episode, I've been to Marrakech and visited all the locations of the tasks, cool to see them. The city is tiny but such a maze, very hard to navigate.

The cyclists are becoming strong favorites.
Team Nashville though, so negative!

A little? Between the eyes, the unnaturally white teeth (yes, I know they're dentists) and the over-tanning, I think he looks deranged. Add to that his hyper-competativeness and hyper-confidence, and you have quite a package. I do not enjoy watching him. At all.

I wasn't sorry to see Keith and Whitney go, but Shelley & Nici were stupid to let their personal feelings about Team Nashville influence their use of the U-Turn. The only team that should have been U-Turned was the dentists, with the hope of forcing them to use their Save and getting it out of the game. Given how disappointed all the other teams were at the start of the leg to know that the dentists still had the Save thanks to the non-elimination leg, I was dumbfounded no one tried to get agreement on a plan that the dentists, and only the dentists, would be U-Turned.

I totally agree with every word here. I couldn't believe they U-Turned anybody but the dentists.
