TAR 18 Episode 1 - Thank God For Second Chances


Eleven teams with Unfinished business all start off at a wind farm in California, USA. Their first task is to find the airplane that says Qantas in a field. The first eight teams all make the first flight. Mel/Mike, Zev/Justin and Jet/Cord are first three teams to do it. Soon, Kisha/Jen, Gary/Mallory and Amanda/Kris are left on the second flight, battling it out to not come last. Gary/Mallory get it just before Amanda/Kris, leaving the engaged couple incurring an automatic U-turn. Amanda can't believe that they're U-turned again, but Kris knows it was their own fault.

There's drama on the first flight when a heart attack forces an emergency landing, completely wiping out their 90-minute lead. Mallory gets excited when she realizes that the second flight has overtaken the rest, and can't quite believe her luck. Amanda really wants the express pass to wipe out their penalty.

The roadblock is to scuba dive into a shark tank and retrieve a compass. Mallory gets it first and manages to solve the phrase. Kisha and Amanda are a little slower and decide to work together, as most of the other teams have caught up to them now…except Jet/Cord, who missed the ferry.

The next task is to sail out into the water and grab a clue from a buoy. Gary/Mallory are the first to do so, and reach the beach to win the first leg and the express pass.  Phil then tells them they are still racing, and has to yell at an excited Mallory to stop talking and keep going. Kris/Amanda are the second team to arrive, with Kisha/Jen in third place.

Back at the aquarium all the teams have now retrieved their compasses, with a struggling Vyxsin being the last to do so. Margie/Luke have teamed up with their old friends Jaime/Cara to decipher the clue, but neither can get it quite right. Zev/Justin are the first to do so, and give it to the Globetrotters. Margie also asks for their help, but they decline to give her any.

Ron/Christina and Mel/Mike have decided to work with Marge/Luke and the cheerleaders now, and Christina is able to get it. Margie decides to spread the love and gives the answers to Kent/Vyxsin, as she sees the goths as a team that would be easy to beat.

Zev/Justin are the next team to finish in 4th place and the Globetrotters come 5th. Jaime/Cara, Margie/Luke, Ron/Christina and Mel/Mike are all behind them. Kent/Vyxsin are very relieved when they find out they’re the second-last team to arrive and are not that phased by the news they’re still racing, as it could've been worse. This leaves Jet/Cord as the only team still working on their compass…and the Cowboys appear to be well and truly stumped.
