Well my one team is out and my other team is the only one no one picked in the second round. Something tells me this isn't my season!

ernie · 01-12-2018, 09:09 AM

Not sure I want to see the head-to-head a bunch of times but that was fun.

So it would appear we set the recording for the Canadian version and not the US one and have now missed the first 2 episodes. Is there any way to watch these two legally after the fact?

Who are you with ? If you have the channel usually it’s in the on demand for free after

For some reason CTV has it premiering in February:

Just checked Shaw on demand and it isn't there, either...

I think CTV is planning to show the whole season over 2 weeks airing them every weeknight near the end of February.

Probably counterprogramming the Olympics.

I wondered since it doesn't seem to be on CTV at all this time around. Not quite sure what the point is of airing that late.

Weitz · 01-15-2018, 11:08 PM

They still think people don’t get the American channels? Or people won’t find other means to watch? Haha

Shaw. We looked but didn't see anything obvious. I'm somewhat new to Bluesky TV but it appears straightforward to find re-runs of a particular show. Just can't find any for the race.

getbak · 01-16-2018, 04:24 PM

CTV hasn't started airing this yet. That's why it's not available on demand yet.

Good close leg this week. Non-elimination leg saves the NBAers.

2 hour episode coming up next week.

I was worried the poor guy was going to have a heart attack during the event, then he goes and says he already had 3! Who brings their pack on a roadblock!? That's where 10 seconds of thinking beats running off mindlessly.

Nice to see Yale do so well, I picked them in the Fuzz vs Fuzz's wife battle.

savardandjokinen · 01-20-2018, 05:10 PM

Is the 2 hour ep a 2 elimination or one long ep?

getbak · 01-24-2018, 10:40 PM

Double episode, double elimination. The Ballers and the Eaters go home.

Lucas & Brittany go from the brink of elimination to first place, and get engaged in the process. With the way the episode was edited, it seemed pretty clear it was going to end with him proposing one way or the other.

Lucas & Brittany
Kristi & Jen
Eric & Daniel
Henry & Evan
Alexander & Conor
Cody & Jessica
Trevor & Chris
Joey & Tim
Cedric & Shawn
April & Sarah
Dessie & Kayla

We also see two eliminations from our pool as cupofjoe and Amethyst both lose their second teams.

Well, I totally sucked at picking this time around!

getbak · 01-31-2018, 10:30 PM

This week, the teams Czeched out Prague and Trevor & Chris were unable to overcome the Double U-Turn. My guess is that the editing made it look a lot closer than it was and they had basically lost the leg once they were U-Turned (I don't believe we ever saw them at the same location as any other team once they left the U-Turn board).

It looks like CBS is doing a sprint to the finish line and the final 6 legs will be broadcast over the next three weeks (2 per week). I don't know if this is because CBS thinks it will do well up against the Olympics, or if they don't want to hurt the ratings for their other shows by having them go against the Olympics. Celebrity Big Brother is also taking up a lot of airtime during the Olympics, so a lot of their regular programming will be taking a break.

Next week, we'll also see the partner swap in effect. That will be interesting to see how they do that, and how long the swap will be in effect.

Having a double u-turn in place before any challenges (where it’s just a flight and cab ride) is idiotic. Basically nothing the musicians could do to catch up.

getbak · 02-01-2018, 12:29 AM

Yeah, it was better when they had the U-Turn board after the completion of the first Detour so teams who were targeted for a U-Turn could hustle to make sure they wouldn't get U-Turned.

They should have had the U-Turn board at the beer baths because there was really no reason for them to even go there.

I'm actually surprised none of the teams on the later flight tried to make a deal with any of the teams on the earlier one to get them to U-Turn one of the other teams on the later flight. Maybe they did and no one would agree to do it.

Weitz · 02-01-2018, 12:43 AM

Ugh stop casting teams who aren’t in it to win it.

Too much complaining about not working together and no one U turning. Terribly boring episode.
