spiderbraidsTAR10 season finale heads to Paris and New York, while TAR Asia heads to New Zealand.
TAR10 season finale:
1. Ah, Paris. Ah, Eiffel Tower. And listen to the fans making references to Lenny, while Miss Alli makes her own reference to the Eiffel Tower leg WAY BACK in TAR1 (2001).
2. Watch Rob get pissy over not getting to do a skydive in Caen!
3. The 2nd finale this year where fashion sense ends up being a deciding factor. The other one? Why, Winx Club, of course. While Stella arranged a bunch of cards while having no idea what the puzzle was, James and Tyler cut a jacket much better than either of the two remaining teams.
4. Yet, somehow, Rob and Kim got on their flight to New York, even though J/T got on to the waiting list first. Airport drama, bite me!
5. One EZ-Pass later, it's a J/T win, though some call bull at the lack of finish-line-task like the last two seasons. (Heck, for the first time since TAR4 [incidentally, the only TAR finish I've ever missed], the finale is just 60 minutes long!)
6. Meanwhile, Lyn and Karlyn, congratulations about being the first all-female team to complete the 13 legs. And without winning ANY SINGLE ONE of them to boot!
7. Count me in on the list of people who were expecting to see J/T's families coming out of the bushes as well, instead of a Sprint phone.
TAR Asia:
1. Andy/Laura get ticketed for driving 146 kph. They get a 92-minute penalty at the pitstop... but it doesn't get assessed until the next episode? I'm from Thailand, and even I find something fishy about it.
2. Two big jump tasks in one episode (the swing, and the standard bungee). Three big jump tasks in one country (the skyjump from the tower). Yeah, we get it, NZ is BIG on big jumps. Now when are we getting a sheep-related task?
3. Singapore's Sharon/Melody got elimmed after getting stuck in the mud during an ATV driving task (of all things). And without Andy/Laura's penalty getting assessed either. (S/M are in holiday idents for AXN, BTW.)
4. Sponsored tasks at gas stations. Not just for TAR:FE anymore... the TAR Asia contestants had to get a clue at a Caltex.
5. And it wouldn't be TAR at a bungee jump without a contestant having problems, now would it? ;)
