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)

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)

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)
Clicky clickyHi 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!

Welcome to Leg 11! Last time, on Searching For the Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow, 4 teams raced from Sweden to Dublin Ireland. There was much Riverdancing and hurling, and Steve and Anna Leigh fell behind and were eliminated. And then there were three: Rob and Corey, the father with hearing impairment and his son, who have one of the most loving father-son relationships I’ve seen on television in a long time; Greg and John, the brothers and computer scientists who always see every challenge as a puzzle to solve; and Joel and Garrett, best friends and beard enthusiasts who seem to have kept up with the young guns and are always able to come back from their setbacks, mostly caused by Joel. (Toyouke: “I think I'm OK with any of these teams winning? Very unusual.”) Who will win The Amazing Race 35? (click for more)

Welcome to Leg 10! Last time, on Dropping Into Sweden the Hard Way, 5 teams raced from Slovenia to Stockholm, Sweden. Rob and Corey used their Express Pass at the Roadblock, but then were not able to keep the lead they created. Three teams struggled with directions, so the Beards ended up in first, while Todd and Ashlie fell behind and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Welcome to Leg 9! Last time, on Slovenia? I Hardly Know Her!, 6 teams continued racing about Slovenia. There was strategy, which mostly meant not telling people things. Rob and Corey struggled on the Detour (read the clue!) but decided to save the Express Pass. The brothers were first again, and Todd and Ashlie struggled, but it was Robbin and Chelsea who fell way too far behind and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)
