TAR Season 34! Who's watching? SPOILERS Possible!

When does it start? What day I mean. 

10:00 is way too late for me, lol. I'll watch it online at CBS, if they still allow us to do that.

I'm out of town for work and DH and I watch together so I won't get to watch until Friday night. I can't wait!

I didn’t even know this show or survivor were on! I’ve really only watched tapes shows so I’m excited to watch tonight!

Yes.. It was on 9pm my time so not too bad. There are some changes this season but I won't spoil. And one lady that TOTALLY annoys me. OMG.. I don't know her name but she has the multiple colored braided hair. She is annoying. It was good though.. There are a few teams I think I will really like but still processing..

I also watch Big Brother and I'm a fan of Derek and Claire. They met on Big Brother last year and have been dating since then. I hope they do well!

dh and I both have experience using those saws (nickname--minnesota misery whips).. few seemed to get how to do it. it was a little disjointed to follow how the teams were doing.

DH & I would have whipped through that one quickly. 

Derek is really doing the CBS reality show rounds. He was just on the Challenge USA, too.

My take aways last night were there are a lot of dance teams and I like the changes so far.


I hope that they go back to sending teams out based on their arrival times but suspect we will have 2-3 waves starting the next leg like they did last season.

okay what the heck is TAR? The only thing that came up with when I googled is that La Brea tar pits show.

I honestly have no clue what that could be and its on season 34?!

This is an internet message board, there ARE going to be spoilers. People need to get over it. 

Yes, but it's nice if the title says that. Also, I am unreasonably annoyed by the "the one who went home" or "one of the players shouldn't have done what they did" comments. I just want to be able to say "OMG so glad Susie went home because she was so mean" or "Wow, can you believe that Bobby went through everyone's bags when they were down at the beach". lol 

TAR is one of my very favorite shows and last night they started in Munich, Germany! I was there 5 years ago on a trip. Around 6pm a migraine hit and between that, the gummy I took for pain and the fall allergies that have been kicking my butt for a week (I've been getting only 4 hours of sleep a night) I watched it but can't remember what the heck happened. It wasn't the gummy, but I fell asleep at least 10 times through it. I remember the sawing challenge and that's it. I don't remember who went home. 

That's okay, it just means I get to watch it again. But I can't discuss the show with you all until I see it again. 

One thing I will say is that I wish they would stop casting people from other reality shows. For one thing they've had their chance to win a lot of money and it takes away the space for another team. For another there must be a lot of people applying for their chance to play. When they do every day people get a chance to play for the fun and the experience, the money and the fame. I still remember Gretchen and Meredith from season 7-they were an elderly couple who showed amazing spirit and strength. Usually older couples don't make it much past the first 2 or 3 eliminations. They made it almost to the end and they treated each other with kindness and respect. Gretchen was climbing down inside a cave and slipped on a rock during one of the challenges. She comes up covered in blood from a gash on the head and says, "I've been wanting a face lift for a long time." You've just got to admire spirit like that. 

Update:  Well I finally watched it again last night (without falling asleep throughout the show) and I'm so happy TAR is back on! I must admit I didn't like the "scatter" or whatever they called it-having the teams do the challenges in whatever order they wished. While it was helpful to have a chart displayed which ticked off which challenges each team had accomplished I personally much prefer the traditional order of doing the challenges one by one all at the same time. It's more exciting to me to see which teams are in what order as they go along, how fast they arrive, and how quickly they finish the challenge. I would think it also builds stress and tension amongst the teams as they compete against each other knowing (better at least) where they are in line-how close to last ect. 

Teams I like so far: The Korean Twins who just met each other last year-wow-what a story! I like their calm attitude (so far) and their respect for each other (again so far). Abby and Will I love Abby's positive energy and the father and daughter team from Jamaica. 

I don't care for Dom (the lady with the rainbow hair) but that might change.

I don't watch BB so I have no opinion on Derek and Claire although they might grow on me. 

I was really, really hoping now that the pandemic is over that they'd go back to having to book their own flights at the airport, but it sounds like that won't be the case. That's too bad-to me that added so much drama and suspense to the game and the racing. Making a choice which flight to take, gambling on layover choices-it could make or break your game. 

You have been on this message board for long enough to know that there WILL BE SPOILERS if discussing a tv show, movie and similar. 

Not everyone know the name of the participant but each person has a unique behavior that should clue in people who actually watch the show.

Not everyone knows how to use the *spoiler* insert.

Be annoyed all you want but only you can control your behavior.

I love this show! I have been rewatching old seasons while I clean out my craft room. I like to look people up at the end of each season to see if they are still together or what they are up to. I just finished season 25 and saw that Jim Raman (him and his wife Misty were the dentists) died a few years ago. Sad. I couldn’t find much information about it.

When that team got to the pit stop, it looked like her backpack was going to topple her over. It seems like she has way too much stuff and along with her hair, I’m surprised she can stand up straight. It all looks so heavy.
