TAR 35, Recap Leg 4, 10/25/23

 

Welcome to Leg 4! Last time, on Even With a Pit Stop, Keep Racing Counts as a Double Leg Just Saying, 11 teams continued racing through Vietnam, some on very little sleep from the night before. Emotions ran high, and at the Swedish Roulette Roadblock, Robbin and Chelsea emerged as the victors. In a shocking twist, Jocelyn and Victor, who won the first two legs, were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

TAR 35, Recap Leg 3.2, 10/18/23

 

Welcome back to Leg 3! Last time, on I Miss Airport Drama, 11 teams raced from Thailand to Vietnam. Teams had to get their own flights, and this resulted in airline delays and secret flights being discovered. The sisters played their Express Pass at the floating market, and then struggled to maintain their lead. Team Texas lucked out by snagging one of the earliest departure times for the floating market, and made their way into first place, while the brothers ended up, and I quote Phil, “dead last”. But they were told to keep racing! So Leg 3 continues. . . I think. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

TAR 35, Recap Leg 3.1, 10/11/23

 

Welcome to Leg 3! Last time, on You’ll Never Change Standings That Much If You Stay in the Same City, 12 teams continued racing through Thailand. There was pressure and many lost shoes at the Roadblock, where Idaho Dad Bod managed to leave their fanny pack. Retail Love had a Detour option made just for them, and they once again took first place, while mother/daughter Elizabeth and Iliana traveled to the Detour they didn’t want, but did it anyway and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

TAR 35, Recap Leg 2, 10/04/23

 

Welcome to Leg 2! Last time, on Why Are There So Many Teams This Season?, a record 13 teams started Amazing Race 35 in Los Angeles, California. We are told that there are no NELs, but airport drama is back! Teams made their way to Bangkok, Thailand, where Morgan and Lena ate bugs for the Express Pass, and Elizabeth and Iliana risked going home first to do the Massage Task in the Detour. The grocery store owners took first place, while the nerdy siblings couldn't learn choreography and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

TAR 35, Recap Leg 1, 9/27/23

 

Welcome to Leg 1 of The Amazing Race 35! It’s been a full year since we last saw the amazing Phil, and with two seasons ready to go (including one from before this one that still uses charter flights; we’ll discuss that later) we get the one that was filmed more recently. (Toyouke: “Just in time for the strike to be over!”) Phil voices over that flights are back! As are the Express Pass and the U-Turn! All of which he’ll bring up again later! But then we careen towards the Hollywood sign, and we get to meet the teams. (click for more)

TAR 35, Recap Leg 0, 9/20/23

 

Welcome back to the Amazing Race! It’s season number thirty-five. It has been a full year since the last time we’ve racearoundtheworld-ed, and in that time, two full TARs have been taped. Since there’s a strike going on, rather than air what was going to be TAR35, they took the next season (filmed this past June and July), gave it 90 minute episodes, and made THAT TAR35. In good news, airport drama is back! But charter flights will be back later since old TAR35 (now TAR36?) was still in COVID restrictions. All caught up? Good. 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: “Why are the individual team bios on Parade.com this year? At least I can watch them for once.”) The thirteen teams (first time ever!) for TAR35 are (click for more):

Project Runway All Stars 8/7/23--"The Finale" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the final four were asked to make avant-garde outfits inspired by an art instillation that was mostly glass and mirrors. Bishme continued to make interesting streetwear and was declared the winner. Laurence did an interesting skirt shape (and had Mimi) so she was also in. It came down to Brittany (boring but decently made) and Rami (fit the challenge but had terrible seams) and the judges chose Brittany. So Rami was eliminated. (click for more)
