I thought that was the Southern girl who was petrified. I thought the FBI agent was the one who had her uterus in her throat. I couldn’t keep the jumping women straight, they all seemed to be wearing pink t-shirts.
And why would you bring a backpack and a suitcase on wheels? Good luck dragging that through the desert.
Team Guido is actually from Lon Gisland, though, right?
Hillbillies got on my nerves immediately.
No parent-child teams, and no geezer couples, to my dismay.
Oh, yeah, I knew I forgot to comment on this. I didn’t think they could take that much. Aren’t they limited to one backpack?
I’m almost afraid to find out what’s in it…clown stuff?
Big shoes, rubber chicken, seltzer. Nothing but the bare minimum needed for travel.
I’d think it’s the exact opposite - you can bring as much stuff as you want (except for contraband like GPS & cell phones), but you’ve got to schlep it everywhere with you without any assistance. If the airlines force you to check one of your bags, then you’re stuck watching the luggage carousel while everyone else is off riding elephants or making chocolate gnomes.
I’m fairly sure it was TAR but I can recall in the first season brought a freakin’ cheese board with them. Or maybe it was the Eco Challenge.
The smart ones pack light.
The clowns had two bags each? I could’ve sworn they had the backpacks on a frame with wheels* and were pulling them but had nothing on their backs. I’ll have to go look again.
*IMO it’s not much better, that’s extra weight to carry around
Ok, I just watched the last part with the empanadas again. The clowns had two bags on wheels and what looked to be a third bag over her shoulder but it was such a short blip I couldn’t make out how big it was.
I’m wondering if it was a jacket slipped through the money/passport bag and thrown over her shoulder.
Also, I’m not seeing the distinctive TAR fanny pack. In the rewatch I noticed some fanny packs but not everyone had one and they were just plain black on the team I noticed.
I’m making an early call for the soccer/rocker boys to win. It seems like in TAR being young, male, physically fit, and getting along with your partner are the main components to winning.
The problem with Brenchel is that they have lousy interpersonal skills and lots of disgusting emotional meltdowns, but they’re disturbingly good at challenges. They’re often smarter and more physical than you expect. Unfortunately, they’ll be sticking around on The Race for quite a while.
Aside from Brendan and Rachel, I don’t have much to go on right now for picking a favorite. So, I’ll go for a likeable team that seems up to the challenge. For now, I’m rooting for the female feds.
Yep.
If it’s any consolation, do an image search for Jaime Edmondson. She was one of the redheaded cheerleaders in TAR 14 and 18, and was Playboy Playmate of the Month for January 2010.
