I was really happy with ‘old school’ AR this season. That is what they called it and I really hope they stick to the format. Most of the racing teams really didn’t get into any huge arguments (a few did, and I chalk most of that up to the stress and fatigue of the race itself). The finale was great. The winners were smart and played smart all the way. But any one of those 3 teams could have won.

I've missed TAR first episodes because of Truman Capote and the Swans on FX at 10pm. I think TAR was airing beginning at 9:30pm. The FX show is over for now, so I can watch the other. How many teams are left?

Too bad about Kevin although his shoulder injury made him vulnerable. I really dont like either of the women on that tribe and they dont like each other. Sai better stop the eye rolling.

Schoolhouse, I was just coming here to say the same thing. It’s early, but man, TAR is boring me so far for the first time ever. Survivor is, too. I don’t really like or dislike anyone, or care which teams win anything. Maybe it’s just the monotony of the same location, same challenges, same three teams and one is always weak, too many ways to have immunity (or not), etc. I wish they’d mix it up and go back to two larger teams and somewhere besides Fiji. It used to be rough and rugged, now it’s like they’re at a resort playing games. From what I’ve read, it’s Fiji now due to tax breaks and liability. They’ve had some people in dangerous situations in the past and don’t want that to happen again. But it feels like Disney Survivor. :D I loved last season. It felt more like the old days to me for some reason. The contestants were interesting and a great mix of personalities.
