That was the best Fast Forward performance ever. Both Tucker & Eric solve the Rubik's cube in seven seconds?!? Totally amazing. A well deserved first place finish.

On the other extreme, a totally foreseeable last place finish for Kat & Alex. At least we don't have to watch her cry every week.

Wasn’t that impressive imo. They were given a set of instructions on how to solve it and it was the same ever time.

It also was far from a full puzzle. They preset it to be nearly complete. I think it was only 6 turns to complete it. It was preset to be 99% complete.

. Also, I didn't realize that it would be Europe only.

I wonder if region lock will be more common going forward? 36 was all South America. This season is all Europe.

Would not shock me if next season or the following is all Asia.

I assume it must be cheaper to produce that way.

First episode validates that my decision to never watch Big Brother was correct. Unfortunately, now it’s going to ruin a show I watch every season of.

Not really a big fan of many teams on here so far
I definitely think the Sikh brothers from Washington are entertaining and enjoyable, maybe not everyone feels that way
I met many Sikh when I lived in Los Angeles, delightful people
They had a temple near or in the suburb of Los Feliz, always nice to the people in the neighborhood

Well, at least Croatia was beautiful. The pre-existing relationships from BB are definitely starting to push the narrative. Too bad Hannah's surgical skills didn't pass on to Simone. It got them delayed a lot. I didn't think that Chelsie would ever finish the kart task. Tucker & Eric and Jas & Jag are still looking dominant.

I agree. Kyland and Taylor may be a dark horse to win.

In AUG, I was in Dubrovnik/Croatia for 10 days & walked all of those exact streets/locations:

• Port where they skinned the monkfish
• “Blackwater Bay” where they picked up the fishing nets (lots of GoT scenes filmed here)
• Buza bar (it was summer so I had a overlooking the ocean)
• Plocé Gate where they built their wooden cart
• Wide alley where they cart raced
• Pit Stop atop the City Walls

It was obviously filmed during winter/late spring as the entire city is PACKED w people during the tourist summer season.

Still have a couple of episodes to go to get rid of the dead weight not in contention.

I have seen every episode of TAR & DVR the show. Yesterday was the 1st time I can remember where I “Fast-Forwarded myself” to the Pitstop portion of the recording as I couldn’t stand to watch it anymore. Just get rid of the bottom 4…..they have no business being on the show & let’s move this along.

I’ve bailed completely
