TAR: Hockey players, roller derby moms, and the mullet to end all mullets

[rfisher]

New season tonight And they go to Phil's hometown of Christchurch, NZ this season. Sadly, no hotties this time.

Did I hear the preview correctly? Three teams will quit ? What the hell? I'd love to be on this show. What sort of weird stuff did they have to eat? (and can't you just take a time penalty?)

I'm ready and waiting for the race to start!

They didn't quit the show, just the task.

The twist this season is the winner of the first round gets an extra express pass to give to another team by the 4th leg. Lots of sucking up ahead.

Lots of physically fit teams this year. The You Tube duo will annoy me.

Okay, so since my bout with skin cancer, I pretty much avoid the sun, but Bora Bora looks gorgeous. I will just wear a burqa.

My daughter used to subscribe to the YouTube channel of....er, whoever those people are. I should know, because she used to ask me to watch their vids every now and then.

I hope I like them better as racers than YouTube hosts.

And I want to go to Bora Bora! But I don't want to jump out of a helicopter.

Phil Keoghan is live tweeting during the broadcast.

[MacMadame]

Oh, I totally want to jump out of a helicopter some day!

[Fridge_Break]

I have TAR on in HD and the pictures from Bora Bora are basically making me melt inside

[PrincessLeppard]

I will jump, but they will need to bleep the footage of me because it's just going to be one long f-word all the way down.

I did a tandem sky dive in Arkansas in November. It would be a lot more fun in the tropics in the summer and the outrigger would be so much fun. The sand castles, not so much.

[Prancer]

The sand castle challenge looks deadly. Ugh.

Phil was tweeting about how you just can't understand the impact of the heat.

[PrincessLeppard]

I don't understand people who go on TAR who either can't swim or fear water. Wouldn't you work on that before you go? I don't like heights, but for a million bucks, I will deal with it.

Doctors are major whiners. Both of them. Hmmmm....if three teams all skip the task and take the time penalty, who gets to cross the mat first?

All of them?

(Although I do like the firefighters so far)

ETA: read that wrong... Thought you asked who gets axed first

Well, that is the key point. I like the firefighters too. I have a nephew named Matt. So, they agree. Bit of strategy. Awwww.....done in by not being able to sit up straight in a canoe.

I thought they'd go much further than this considering their experience as partners in stressful situations. Oh well.

the fern is precious!

i dont like these random luck of the draw challenges like those cursed haystacks
