I half expected them to play 'Soul Bossa Nova' (aka the Austin Powers theme) when that was happening, because of this scene from the movie.
Yes, TAR is very good at enforcing "You have a right to remain silent (although we will do everything we can to get you to talk). Anything you say can and will be used against you in editing."
If I'm in a strange country, I'm gonna go in the nearest hotel or business and asking for directions.
I remember an interview with a team from years ago that practiced driving with a paper map. They each practiced driving, then switched. I wish I could remember who it was, but they said that the practice really helped them understand how important it was to pull over and verify where they were and if they were heading in the correct direction.
Some people are afraid to drive in reverse and that was a long way to back up with a lot of things to hit along the way.I don't get the whole car thing. Why didn't they just pull back out in reverse like backing out of a driveway?
I see you haven't met my husband
. He drives me CRAZY when we are on trips and get lost because he will. not. stop. so I can figure out where we are. To him, stopping means losing time; as stressful as it is to be lost, I think he gets more stressed by stopping.
I'm officially old.
I’m quoting myself. They still need to drop 5 teams. Can the pinkies go next? They’re annoying af.
If not the pinkies, then the aerobics instructors, either one can go next please.
They seem to have such a great relationship.
I know some young dudes who are just like them.
Ricky and Cesar are killing it so far. The grandparents crack me up; my husband said "Oh, the joys of longterm marriages, where you have the confidence to say exactly what you are thinking and know it won't matter."
The nurses are way too intense. I think the superfan and his mom are sweet, but they won't last very long. And why the heck would you EVER go on TAR if you are terrified of heights, aerobics instructors??? I would have died halfway up. And never would I have picked Ricky and Cesar for the ones to make it to the top first.
And then they had to climb 60 flights back down??!!! Did I hear that correctly?? They at least could have had a secure tent for them to leave their packs in so they didn't have to climb with their packs! I wonder how the medics woulda got a stretcher up there to drag my dead body off those stairs when I had my heart attack and died. My legs still hurt just from sitting on my couch watching them climb!
. Totally with the Bros when they got to the cooking and were like OMG what do we do with this. As the suckiest cook in the world, I would have had doubts too. But I never coulda done the packing thing so I woulda had to stick with cooking and just meticulously follow the directions and picture and hope for the best.
I like them, too. I'm amazed she did the steps. Yeah, unfortunately, they can't last. They were very lucky that others were slower. Before I looked them up, and since I obviously wasn't paying attention in the intros, I was trying to place her accent. At first I was thinking New England, then Ohio, since she sounds a lot like my husband's Dayton relatives. I've spent next to no time in the Pacific Northwest. Is this speech pattern typical of eastern Washington?
I would think knowing how to read and use maps is critical on TAR, but I think a lot of teams underprepare for that based on how navigation tends to go. I used to be a whiz at maps, but I tried to use one the other day to get somewhere just to see if I still could and it required more effort than I anticipated. IME, a lot of people tend to unfold a map and not pay a lot of attention to orientation (and so drive off in the wrong direction), so I wasn't surprised that that was an issue for some on that challenge.
It's hard to find one! And even when you do, teams in the past have said they practiced and ended up having trouble anyway, so I'm thinking that it's also a matter of not enough practice combined with stress.
Oh, I know. I saw that it took Team JumpRope four hours to finish that task. I would have died.
Oh Phil, u so silly. As soon as I heard the word "dancing" I was nope, not that one. And the Firefighters at the puzzle challenge ... I'm pretty dumb but even I got it the first time the camera ran down the puzzle pieces. Okay, 2nd time ... I said bigger instead of smaller at first. 
I want that big Gato kitty for my yard. 
And the doggie riding the escalator and he be followin' the rules. 
And Phil jump roping at the end was he-lar-i-us. 
Filmed during the waning days of the COVID-19 pandemic global health emergency and prior to 35th aired season, this season features chartered air travel rather than commercial air travel and other accommodations for the safety of the racers.
Thanks for this, I was so confused as to why they were barely going anywhere
