I must have them mixed up with another all female pair, but I thought the tall cop was one of those I was talking about,
It’s too bad TAR doesn’t do Survivor-style switch ups. I would love to see I-hurt-my-elbow-Brook paired with I-hurt-my-balls-Shamir. They’d never get to the first clue box.
I assumed it was a reference to them both working out a lot and being buff/jacked/ripped/whatever the kids are calling it these days.
That would be a very interesting twist, but how would they place them if one member had come in say first on the previous leg and the other say 5th? I agree Shamir and elbow girl, I have no idea what her name is, really do deserve each other. It’s a shame Phil can’t make it happen.
They are (were) the only all-female team.
Poor Shamir. First his balls, now a splinter in his finger. I hope all his sensitive, Type A stockbroker colleagues are showing him the proper sympathy this morning.
And man, did that fun meter take a turn. Becca got mean.
That made me instantly uncomfortable. She did a fake swing in the stairwell then threatened him on the mat and took his passport. I can imagine her adrenaline was up but that was unacceptable.
Sad that
Seth and Olive got the book. They were drama-free and level headed.
Looks like the Boys are getting this season’s villain edit. OTOH, they appear to be smart and strong, so we’ll likely see them for a loooong time.
I thought we’d heard the last of Shamir’s black and blue balls, but we got a reprise this week. I think this is the first time we’ve been shown how the teams hang out immediately after they’ve checked in at a Pit Stop.
I’m going to guess that the boys, Matt and Redmond, stuffed nerds into lockers in high school. Here they are, back to their old tricks, bullying Vanck for giving them a U-turn. Ashton wasn’t spared their ire either. If you didn’t want drama, guys, maybe you shouldn’t have gone back on that deal.
I don’t understand why Shamir was so mad. He was fuming and turning his back on his partner when she had nothing to do with it. Millions of male paratroopers and rock climbers etc don that equipment all the time without rupturing their testicles. I doubt that Shamir is different than them.
(millions being a guess, I don’t have a cite or anything)
Shamir was mad because Shamir is a pansy. I’m guessing he is used to getting what he wants, and getting it easily, so he does not know how to react when something is difficult or painful. Hopefully they are not long for the series, right with the meatheads.
That being said, I am generally enjoying this season of the race’s participants, but was sad to see the last team get eliminated. They were drama free and generally good racers.
I’m going to make a prediction that when Shamir and his partner do eventually make it to the mat in last place that it will be a NEL.
And he’ll still be pissed about coming in last. I feel bad for his partner, she seems pretty level-headed and way more mature.
Why? Because the game is so obviously rigged and they are such an obvious ratings draw?
I still think all of Shamir’s bitching about the harness is an extended sneak-brag about how big his junk supposedly is.
To be fair, it does seem like the sort of thing that could be uncomfortable if it wasn’t fitted properly.
A PSA so nobody accidentally misses out: we get TWO episodes this week, 9 and 10 p.m.
Agree on both counts.
I took it as more of, “It will be just our luck that they’ll get an NEL and we have to put up with them for at least one more week.”
Here’s an interesting development. London, of TeamLoLo, has been posting commentary along with her sister of each leg of the race on Youtube (London and Chase - YouTube). Meanwhile, her partner Logan has hooked up with Sara and they’re starting their own Youtube channel (- YouTube).
Sara’s partner Shamir, he of the scrunched-up scrotum, is nowhere to be found.
