TAR14 - Tammy/Victor first, Christie/Jodi eliminated

Sorry this is late, TAR aired late, and things like school came up. So, All of the teams make their way out of frigid Siberia, and on their way to India. All of the teams managed to get the same flight, and off to their first destination, the sacred tree they go. Tammy/Victor arrive to the sacred tree first, and immediately recognized that they were supposed to call a phone number to receive the next clue. The next clue told them to go to Amber Fort, Gaura Parvati Parking. Next, there were five teams all neck and neck with each other, which included Kisha/Jen, Margie/Luke, Mark/Michael, Jaime/Cara, and Mel/Mike. So, all five of those teams raced for the sacred tree, only to find them searching for a envelope clue. Finally someone discovered there’s a phone there, and everyone begins calling. Christie and Jodi were left in last, and arrived to the sacred tree later.

Finally, all of the teams are making their way on the Amber fort. Tammy/Victor arrive first, and their next task was a roadblock, which was to take care of India livestock, a camel. Victor chose to do the roadblock, and immediately was able to keep the lead. Next, five other teams come all at once, and each had one person choose to do the detour. I don’t remember for some, but I know Mel, Mike, and Margie chose the roadblock. Mel struggled to do the roadblock, and immediately placed himself behind all of the others competing. However, the right usage of the tools to the camel feed put Mel back ahead. Victor finished first, and immediately took off with Tammy to their next destination, Johari Bazaar. Finally, Christie/Jodi arrived, and one of them did the roadblock. Tammy/Victor kept a good lead, as of now. Then, Mel finished the roadblock after using the right tools for the camel feed that took everyone else a longer time to figure out.

Finally, the others finished, and Mark/Michael, Kisha/Jen, Cara/Jaime, and Margie/Luke all headed for the detour. Christie/Jodi were left for last, and still couldn’t get out yet. Meanwhile, Tammy/Victor arrive to the bazaar, and receive their next clue: a detour that had them choosing between loading barrels and finding a small elephant or dance in the streets and beg for money. Tammy/Victor chose to dance in the streets. They managed to finish the detour before any of the other teams arrived, and received their clue, which was information directing them to the pit stop, Jaigarh Fort. Finally, Mel/Mike arrived, and they chose to dance in the streets.

Finally, Christie/Jodi finished the roadblock, and moved along to do their speed bump. Next, Kisha/Jen, Cara/Jaime, Margie/Luke, and Mark/Michael all arrived and chose a detour, three of them choosing to dance and Mark/Michael choosing the barrel detour. Mel/mike finished the detour, and were next to head to the pit stop. Finally, Tammy/Victor, who had first the entire leg pretty much, arrive to the pit stop to hear they are team number one, winning ocean kayaks as their prize. Back at the detour, the teams are seen still dancing in the streets begging for money, and Luke explains how difficult it was for him to follow up with the detour. Finally, Christie/Jodi arrive to do their speed bump, which was to correctly paint an elephant. Then, Mel/Mike arrive to the pit stop to hear they have received second place.

Finally, Cara/Jaime, Kisha/Jen, and Margie/Luke all finished the detour, and those teams arrived to the pit stop. Kisha/Jen were team three, Margie/Luke were team four, and Cara/Jaime were team five. Mark/Michael struggled with their barrel detour, which put them with Christie/Jodi, who are choosing the dance detour. It was close as Christie/Jodi and Mark/Michael finished the detour closely together. However, Mark/Michael arrived to the pit stop first, getting sixth place. Christie/Jodi were last, and they were eliminated.

This race was OK, but I just wish they’d take a break from India, since they’ve been there like eight times. This leg really shows that Tammy/Victor are perhaps one of the shows best racers, considering they ran a perfect leg. However, in this season again, we don’t see all the competitiveness like we had previously. I’m sure those other teams are ready to see Tammy/Victor make a blunder. I don’t think Mark/Michael have it in them, and wouldn’t be surprised if they are the next to go. I still feel that Tammy/Victor and Margie/Luke have final three written all over them, and I could see most likely Mel/Mike or Kisha/Jen getting third, preferably, Kisha/Jen. Overall they keep having entertaining challenges, which really seems to make TAR.
