I was thinking of replying about your idea of an international group of teams with the old joke about national stereotypes running various vital services in hell, but i think that it would offend too many people!
Suffice to say it would probably start WW3

I’m not yet ready to call time of death on TAR yet, Wurstsemmel and Sourkraut, although I do think this was one of the weakest seasons in memory. The Mike’n'Mel season, though, bought enough goodwill for me to give another one a chance. Plus I’d hate to miss out on another challenge as pants-wettingly funny as the giant wheels of cheese…

Use by date. Must agree with Sourkraut there. I used to be waiting eagerly for the next instalment of TAR but the past few series have been pretty bleurgh.

I’d love to see an international version with teams from different countries. An administrative nightmare no doubt but imagine throwing some Brits, French, Germans and whatever else in with the Americans….

you gotta be joking. those two clowns did nothing but argue and bitch and carry on in each ep and certainly did not deserve to win. Blonde or not, on a performance basis Meghan and Shayne were well deserved winners and yet again I”M PROVEN TO BE A “BIT OF A BURKE” with my predictions……….Well if I could really pick winners I’d be making money at the races, not slaving over a hot computer and trying to keep an office functioning.
Anyway the show reached a new low in TACKINESS at the beginning with the plastic chapel wedding… no wonder yanks dont impress me!
Another thing wrong with the show is that after someone wins the previous leg they get NO ADVANTAGE very often as they all end up on the same plane. What’s the use of that.
The rapelling would have turned my pants brown! well done to all contestants there.
Erika (princess) had a hissy fit. I bet her poor hubby got it in the neck when they were out of sight of the camera.
For me this has reached its use by date. No doubt my “kind’ observations will be missed…………I Bet

Erika, Erika, Erika – it’s either too hot or too cold, too yes or too no, too in or too out, too up or too down…

Meghan and Cheyne did run a good race, although I’d disagree that Meghan carried the team. I thought Cheyne did a lot of work holding her together with all the “encouragement” she seemed to require (and, at times, demand). She’s a self-confessed control freak; he played the perfect game as a control-freak’s partner: let them control!

Samdan? Stop shouting at each other, then complain about the edit.

H – Apparently the producers wanted to mix it up a bit, because the team are now expecting that challenge, and study for it.

Wurstsemmel – Let’s hope Phil doesn’t succumb to the botox temptation. Interesting in the boys interview they thought their editing which was a bit negative at times was to do with them coming in runner’s up, so people would not be disappointed they did not win. Not so in your case.

Kyvyny – I saw Erika’s leg’s lashing out, a bit like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

Was suprised there wasn’t the standard last memory challenge.

Well, disappointed. I wanted the boys to win.

At last, the return of the big scary challenge. Much as I disliked Miss America, she really threw herself into that.

Wayne Newton. I wouldn’t have known who he was either.
Very plastic looking but then I thought Phil looked like he might have been at the botox. Could it be?
