TAR 36, Recap Leg 3, 3/27/24

 

Welcome to Leg 3! Last time, on This Leg Was Not Intended for the Colorblind, 12 teams continued racing through Puerto Vallarta. The cousins and the double dutch coaches ended up at the Roadblock too early and had to switch gears. The twins switch Detours when they don’t realize how intelligent they are not. And everyone struggles with the heat. Rod and Leticia finish in first again, and get a prize this time, while Chris and Mary are eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Top Chef 3/27/24--"Living the High Life" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: We began the new season in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with Kristen Kish as host and Tom and Gail showing up right away. No immunity awarded for Quickfire wins, only for Elimination challenge wins. Also no Quickfire for this first episode. Chefs were divided into three teams and given a different challenge, based on which judge's name they pulled. Kristen asked her group to make soup, Tom wanted roast chicken, and Gail asked for stuffed pasta. In my opinion Gail's group got shafted. Anyway, Manny won with a great pozole soup that no one could stop eating. The bottom three, Kenny, Amanda, and David, have to have a LCK-style battle immediately using whatever's left in the kitchen to make anything they want. David (a very cocky person who insulted Tom's hats) dumped a ton of salt into his broth and then put two green sauces together in a bowl so he was eliminated. (click for more)

Top Chef 3/20/24--"Chef's Test" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: it was technically an All-Star season, because they had winners and finalists from international versions, and they went to London. Buddha won again, so hopefully he won't compete again? I think he's writing a column for People or something. It was also Padma's last season, so Kristen Kish is the host now. (click for more)

TAR 36, Recap Leg 2, 3/20/24

 

Welcome to Leg 2! Last time, on Maybe This Time Thirteen Teams Won’t Be Too Many, 13 teams started Amazing Race 36 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Chris and Mary have a slow start, but Maya and Rohan get their car wedged between curbs. Juan and Shane get lost, but are able to catch up on the Roadblock, in no small part to Karishma forgetting her bandana. In the end, though, Maya and Rohan were unable to recover and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

TAR 36, Recap Leg 1, 3/13/24

 

Welcome to Leg 1 of The Amazing Race 36! It’s only been a few months since we last saw the amazing Phil, but this season was filmed almost a year and a half ago, so back to COVID restrictions we go. Phil introduces us to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which apparently is the friendliest city in the world, and we get to meet the teams as they run up the Playa el Salado at the Westin Resort and Spa.

So the thirteen (!) teams for The Amazing Race 36 are: (click for more)

TAR 36, Recap Leg 0, 3/6/24

 

Welcome back to the Amazing Race! It’s season number thirty-six. We only had to wait three months for this one! The reason for that is that TAR36 has been taped for a while now, as it was supposed to be TAR35, and so charter flights are back since old TAR35 (now TAR36?) was still in COVID restrictions. Thankfully, EVERYTHING will be back to normal with TAR37, which should be taped or being taped. Oh, and I brought Toyouke along for the snark. Aren’t you lucky? We’ve read the bios and watched the videos, so let’s get to this shall we? (Toyouke: “I’m very annoyed they don't have good bios or individual videos this year.”) The thirteen teams (because it worked so well last time!) for TAR36 are: (click for more)

New posts are on the way

 Hi everyone,

It has been a few months! I am not missing, there just hasn't been anything to talk about. But that is going to change soon with a new season of The Amazing Race and a new season of Top Chef. TAR is airing the seasons out of order. This one that starts next week was filmed before the last one, so Covid protocols are still in effect and that means charter flights and probably very little public transportation. Top Chef is in Wisconsin, and it is the first season without Padma. But I expect lots of cheese and beer and I hope they make everyone make a hot dish so someone can get pissed off because it's not fancy enough. Top Chef begins during spring break so I will be out of town (in New York, cross your fingers I can go somewhere cool to eat). So that recap will be at least 3 days late. Sorry! But I hope to see you all soon!
