Their problem was more critically that they failed, twice to see one of the animals. Had they seen it, they would have likely done the same thing that Chuck & Wynona did - realized that the hippo was not the object of interest and not tried to force what would have been an 11th animal.
If the two animal cut-out was unfair, it was just unfair in that if you happened to miss one of the previous nine, you’d have greater difficulty recognizing that you didn’t see all 10.
I’m pretty sure they missed the ostrich both times and that’s why they thought that they needed both of them. Having to go back must have sucked.
I do think, at least as presented since we don’t generally have all the information, it is a bit unfair to say “you’ll see ten animals, semi-hidden so watch out” and then show them 11. But as said, it was unfair to all of them equally.
I thought them actually putting out the nine animals with the tenth bird tile above the rhino was a clever attempt to solve with the information they had.
Having failed miserably the two times I’ve tried water skiing, successfully going a mile is impressive to me. Though I am surprised that a hockey player would have had trouble with it (in the past, not this time, obviously).
Stupid Joey, every time his donkeys started trotting along like they were supposed to, he’d rush at them from the side, waving his hands and yelling at them, making them try to dash away in terror.
While Joey was an idiot the donkeys were not. They weren’t dashing away in terror but trying to hang the sledge up on trees so they could get a break while it was freed.
Donkeys are asses 
Having watched from the comfort of my family room, it seemed clear that although they were all trying to go slowly so they wouldn’t capsize, the trick was probably to go quickly to offset the speed of the current, such as it was, trying to push them downstream. Also, what would they have done with the baby goats if they had tipped over? Can goats tread water?
That sounds very cool—is it a full-on, make your way to various places kind of thing? I’m sure it’s a whole lot different to do that for grown-ups who can drive around than it is for an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old and a mom who’s putting this together at 9pm the night before.
But come on. Burpees vs. slurpees = awesome. I was pretty proud of that. It would have been even better if I had gotten real 7-11 Slurpees and we added brain freeze to the mix.
I suggested some actual go-here-and-do-this tasks, but no go. It is, first and foremost, a curling tournament; but it’s traditional to have some sort of theme to decorate the club and add a few other challenges of some sort. So we’re doing a few variations to the rules, and printed them up on templates we found that match the Race clues. Nothing too elaborate, should be fun.
And Burpees or Slurpees is excellent.
That’s very awesome! What was Burpees?
StG
That should be a blast 
I’d love to do something TAR-like. I know there’s a company that stages scavenger hunts in major cities through the summer, but I don’t think it comes anywhere near the real thing. Plus you have to pay an entry fee to play 
The local Country Club has a Junior league on Friday morning in the morning. The finale week is a TAR theme.
They had “Chip It” or “Pitch It” detour (which was handicapped for the younger vs older kids).
And a Putting Roadblock (also handicapped).
and also an etiquette roadblock.
Did they edit out the Super Couple having to get correct change (money exchange), or did they not have to pay in local currency like the Country Girls did?
Burpees are an exercise move. Each contestant would have to perform 10 burpees.
It’s no “chinchillas vs flotillas”, but…
They never showed when Max reached the end of the line, they just showed him at the back of a long line of other people who probably got snagged by the same cop. From the looks of it, the camera wasn’t allowed in that room. Maybe one of his line-mates swapped some local money for some American currency and he didn’t have to send Katie off on a currency exchange errand. His ticket was cheaper too… so that might have been an issue as well.
I thought I heard them say, when they got back in their car after getting the ticket, that the had enough (local currency) to pay the fine.
Where they got it, I don’t know.
The booty dance. People pay good money for that
The amount by which they were speeding was significantly less than the country singers so the ticket was probably a lot cheaper. The women may have had enough local currency for a smaller ticket.
Just watched this yesterday, but one thing stuck out at me…
Max and Katie bitching about how embarrassing it would be if Joey beat them in a “Brawn” task. Then we get to the mat and Joey is clearly a few inches bigger than Max.
I’ll say it again, what an asshole.
So was there no TAR last night? I went to the website to watch it (Sundays now being Game of Thrones night) and this episode was still their last available.
