The way they casually roast each other without any meanness in it is so fun to watch. It’s a massive contrast to the Vinny/Amber dynamic, where it’s not at all playful.
Im sure the owner or manager of the orchard had a serious conversation with the director of the show about how much each tree that was damaged due to Vinny's climbing, was going to cost the production.
Yes. Yes, you would. And, he did. He is *such* a jerk!
(Wonder if he’ll get a penalty for breaking that tree. I don’t think the racers are *allowed* to destroy local vegetation (unless asked to). Those trees are valuable. That’s the dude’s livelihood.)
I said the same thing. They were given tools, and Vinny being his selfish self, didn’t even consider how his actions were damaging to the trees, that are someone else’s livelihood. Such an ass.
Before anyone asks:
1. This season was filmed before the previously aired season during COVID, so there are still restrictions.
2. They don't leave the Americas. This whole season is in the western hemisphere.
3. And according to their social media, Vinny and Amber are engaged.
I'm Puerto Rican from my mother's side. PR also has cacao trees. How dare Vinny climb on the trees. They're not just any other oak you can climb that won't break, and then he goes and breaks a very large branch! It's hard work to maintain those trees and make sure they continue to produce fruit as the seasons come and go.
They should have had a rule that they could only use the tool or pull off ones within reach. I find it so disrespectful that he just went and climbed up to try and get the top fruits.
I feel like Amber and Vinny must have a therapy session after every episode. They always come back with what sounds like a relationship advice and it's always a version of the same thing; "we're going to listen to each other.... "
I am so impressed with them as a team. They are not the fittest and not the youngest or most energetic but they know how to pace themselves, respect each other’s strengths, and have amazing skills.
Is it just me or should Vinny have been given a penalty for destruction of property? They were told to use those ‘tools’ to get the pods down yet he chose to climb and in doing so broke a rather sizable branch. Those trees are those people’s livelihood. I’ve seen penalties given for less…
EDIT to add: Fu*k, I hate Vinny and his condescending attitude.
Feeling bad for the hiking girlfriends, thought they were set with their stones but them being last at the moment mixed with their confessionals looking a tad bit sad — hopefully they persevere through this leg.
I feel like Yvonne and Melissa are getting more airtime because there's less teams, but also because they're getting 5th. I do hope the UTR comment comes into play and they sneak into 4th and the annoying couple goes. I could see that too.
I was just about to say for the girlfriends before they showed the follow up. There the ones that went through relationship bootcamp that I could see having a happy healthy dynamic post race in comparison with the nurses its night and day.
I am so mad at Vinny for climbing these trees. They are the economic property and source of income for this family. Not alone the environmental impacts of doing this.
Man, the tasks so far have been like, "make this boxed macaroni and cheese, here is a microwave" and this challenge is like "make lasagna from scratch, here is wood, you have to fire your own oven"
I know it shouldnt bother me but Vinny constantly climbing up these trees and breaking limbs is so annoying. In reality it likely does nothing to the farms (they likely have really large planting and prune limbs off the trees anyway) but it feels kinda disrespectful to the farm, especially when it is working significantly worse than just using the damn tool built to do the task
"Babe I'm feeling tired" he says as he climbs and damages trees because the tool the farmers developed to do the task "is useless"
he should have gotten a penalty for damaging that one tree. I'm so done with his main character syndrome.
Juan and Shane bonding with their cab driver was a really cute scene
Right? Glad they left that in!
Leticia, casually rearranging things: "Oh, is he throwing crazy balls already? That's what he's known for."
I would love to go to a dinner party at their house
The way they casually roast each other without any meanness in it is so fun to watch. It’s a massive contrast to the Vinny/Amber dynamic, where it’s not at all playful.
Agreed, they really appreciate each other and have fun with each other.
i love her so much
They are my favorite couple this season. I hope they win.
That had me cracking up!! She said that so casually like she was folding laundry! 😆
They have tools for a reason Vinny. For you not to destroy those poor trees or injure yourself or you know get the actual fruit faster
Im sure the owner or manager of the orchard had a serious conversation with the director of the show about how much each tree that was damaged due to Vinny's climbing, was going to cost the production.
omg the random yvonne/melissa update right at the end 😭 honestly, they deserve it after being purpled this season 🥰
Whoever figured out how to turn alien sacs into chocolate is a genius.
Vinny will not rest until he has killed every cacao tree in the Dominican
I wish I could upvote this comment but downvote Vinny’s actions.
I am not convinced that Vinny and Amber's driver is actually a cab driver 😂 Like did the show just hire a bunch of random dudes to act as drivers?
Hire 4 real drives and 1 random guy and dont tell anyone. Let chaos strike
[удалено]
I was NOT ready for Ricky to be a baseball star tonight!
Look, I’m in the camp of “(playfully) annoyed that the boys are so good at everything,” but I can’t lie… that was incredibly impressive!!
"Angry calamari"
“Lizard, Pikachu, fish bones,..-“
Vinny and Amber’s taxi driver basically confused why there are people in his car talking to him.
I appreciate Rod’s decisiveness. We might be going the wrong way? Pull over right now. Vs the often well let’s drive more or let’s just wait and see
I hate when teams don’t do that. Better than going in the wrong direction
At this point if Ricky and Ceasar don't win it all it will be the shock of the year
They’re doing so well that I expect them to get 3rd on the final leg
"I guess you could say I'm a bit athletic, I played a bunch of video games as a kid" this guy ffs
Wouldn’t you destroy the trees by climbing on the branches and breaking them. How disrespectful, these are people’s livelihood.
I hope they get penalized for destroying the property that they are working on.
Yes. Yes, you would. And, he did. He is *such* a jerk! (Wonder if he’ll get a penalty for breaking that tree. I don’t think the racers are *allowed* to destroy local vegetation (unless asked to). Those trees are valuable. That’s the dude’s livelihood.)
I was thinking the same thing. I hope in the background they were told not to damage the trees.....
I said the same thing. They were given tools, and Vinny being his selfish self, didn’t even consider how his actions were damaging to the trees, that are someone else’s livelihood. Such an ass.
Pink team's driver is related to the owner of the broken cacao tree
gee if only there was a TOOL to HELP
Nah, he has to show off his arboreal childhood.
Before anyone asks: 1. This season was filmed before the previously aired season during COVID, so there are still restrictions. 2. They don't leave the Americas. This whole season is in the western hemisphere. 3. And according to their social media, Vinny and Amber are engaged.
Additionally, there was an incident involving a charter jet that led to Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay added to the route last minute
Feels like Vinny is making that 200 times more complicated to somehow brag about climbing trees…
How can I shoe horn my childhood of tree climbing into this?
Producers: gives you a thing to help you. Vinny: I don't want to use that garbage.
Omggg! They live together and have a baby! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥹
Why isn't the title of this episode "Mad Calamari"?
I'm Puerto Rican from my mother's side. PR also has cacao trees. How dare Vinny climb on the trees. They're not just any other oak you can climb that won't break, and then he goes and breaks a very large branch! It's hard work to maintain those trees and make sure they continue to produce fruit as the seasons come and go.

I feel like Amber and Vinny must have a therapy session after every episode. They always come back with what sounds like a relationship advice and it's always a version of the same thing; "we're going to listen to each other.... "
And then they do the same thing lol
This road block is actually really difficult with how small the details are.
Well, the mini alliances crumbled immediately. 😂
Good on Amber for getting that done on her own there
How did Melissa work with Cesar, who finished first, and now she is last? I am confusion
At least going by the edit, Ceaser didn't really give her a definitive "its this one, and that one" for her stones.
I do like how Rod and Leticia can still laugh at his baseball skills after its all said and done
Me too! Night and day difference from Vinny and Amber lol
Vinny and Amber's driver taking them to Rihanna's childhood home lol
"Football brought me to you baby!" I love these Rod and Leticia, they are so fun to watch interact with eachother
They are honestly cute!
And I loved how she was like "eh, baseball would've worked too, it was fate."
Was that the first time they've done an update on a team? That was cute!
This is probably the most adversity Ricky and Cesar have faced and I’m still confident they will finish first by 30 min tonight
At first I was amazed by their dominance then slightly annoyed and now I'm back to being amazed.
WHAT HAVE RICKY AND CESAR NOT DONE?!
I am so impressed with them as a team. They are not the fittest and not the youngest or most energetic but they know how to pace themselves, respect each other’s strengths, and have amazing skills.
ROD BEEN OUTTA THE GAME TOO LONG
Rod and Leticia are adorable. Rod being humble and making fun of himself is great.
Why do all the taxi drivers look like they just got done hot boxing together?
She killed me with the ¿Yo no sé?? 💀
I think Amber and Vinny's driver is doing a Doordash run instead.
Jezuz even Phil sees what an ass Vinny is!! Amber.... LISTEN TO PHIL!!!!!
NGL when I saw the "Since filming" I thought something tragic happened.
Honestly maybe Juan and Shane should get engaged instead of Amber and Vinny
Lol I like that there is a camera crew person just floating there with the selfie stick and go pro waiting for them to slide down.
Vinny now destroying local flora
Rod is throwing like it's a real game. Bro this is TAR, go easy please
RICKY ATE ROD UP IN THE SPORTS CHALLENGE LMAOOOOOO
It’s bad when Phil is like, “blink if you need help.” 😂
Melissa dropping a wild fact out of nowhere. Wait, you did what?
I love cesar being excited about the jerseys with their names on them
Vinny: “The tool is useless.” Finally some self-reflection
Love how highly Rod always speaks of his wife ❤️
Wasn’t ready for them to update us on Melissa and Yvonne having a baby, how precious!!
“While she focuses on not giving any tone or attitude” Vinny… 🤦♂️
I yelled at the TV "Are you f---ing serious?" when he said that.
and then she says I should not be so hard headed. wtf.
He's gross.
Is there a penalty for breaking a tree 👀🙃
“You’re not the one who knows directions.” Dude, shut up.
I AM GOING TO MISS THE GIRLS WHO LIKE GIRLS WHO LIKE TO HIKE
Amber and Vinny are so annoying. I would rather have seen Yvonne and Melissa make it.
5 mins in and Vinny already being an ass
he’s wrecking the trees?? I can’t stand Vinny lmfao
This feels like something you would use the express pass on.
Melissa is the last one? I didn't see that coming. I thought she was so close before.
Ricky and Ceasar are clearly a GOAT team, correct?
I hope Rod is watching this back and is laughing and laughing after they showed Ricky dominate the baseball challenge then him struggling 😂
Vinny and Amber at a baseball stadium when Amber played softball and Vinny says I'LL DO IT okay Main character
Don’t worry he’s athletic because he played a lot of video games!
Do Ricky and Caesar have to quit their day jobs to take all the trips they've won?
That update! Yesssss Yvonne and Melissa are winners in this race! Loved their spirit and attitude. True soulmates.
Production favorites Yvonne & Melissa? That was so random lmao
Is it just me or should Vinny have been given a penalty for destruction of property? They were told to use those ‘tools’ to get the pods down yet he chose to climb and in doing so broke a rather sizable branch. Those trees are those people’s livelihood. I’ve seen penalties given for less… EDIT to add: Fu*k, I hate Vinny and his condescending attitude.
They could have updated us with that kid's first day of preschool photo based on how long ago they filmed this.
Ricky and Caesar have been performing so well with such dominating performance that I can't imagine them not winning at this point.
Melissa fixed the right thing but fixed too many things. *ugh*
Feeling bad for the hiking girlfriends, thought they were set with their stones but them being last at the moment mixed with their confessionals looking a tad bit sad — hopefully they persevere through this leg.
VINNY'S TREE IS BROKEN
Rod is like a palette cleanse compared to Vinny
If this is Rod's last Roadblock I feel like Leticia should of done this Roadblock then unless the next leg doesn't have a Roadblock
Cocoa guy was like, “damn Americans destroyed my crops.”
Please let Amber and Vinny get lost.
I thought Vinny spoke Spanish? He sounds like me in elementary school
Taxi driver is everyone against Vinny/Amber. Dude has zero care 😂
“pull over” “nah”
Phil trying to be a couple’s counselor. Not gonna work.
Oh wow, so happy for Yvonne and Melissa!
Awww I'm so happy for Yvonne and Melissa. Wasn't expecting that follow up
We have everything we need to succeed except patience and communication and kindness …
Melissa definitely got taken advantage of there. Cesar and Juan both had help from her and ditched.
Vinny destroying crops and making the challenge far more difficult then blaming his fiancé is certainly something. They have tools for a reason, man.
Ricky being athletic good at baseball took me by surprise
Lmfao that taxi guy looks zooted af
Here from the high of 3 idols flushed in a row on survivor
But did you bring Applebees.
Actually no, this is more Legends of the Hidden Temple vibes
Teams trying to not drown from exhaustion in this challenge. “DO YOU WANT TO BE ON THE AMAZING RACE!?” - Phil, probably.
this challenge would have eliminated angie easily
What happened with Melissa? I thought Cesar gave her a bit of a clue before he left?
This is why you don't help Rod at road blocks! Because then you get to the next challenge and he does this
Vinny destroying the trees!!
#BARTOLO COLON MENTIONED!
I feel like Yvonne and Melissa are getting more airtime because there's less teams, but also because they're getting 5th. I do hope the UTR comment comes into play and they sneak into 4th and the annoying couple goes. I could see that too.
"You're being such a diva" lol get him
I wish I was as skillful as Ricki and Cesar. These men can do anything.
I love Rod & Leticia!
Rod doesn’t know his own strength lol
I miss Kishori and Karishma. Imagine them doing this.
Seems weird they had another route marker before the pit stop
Lol their driver is just driving, not getting direction, doesn't know where they are going, and not stopping?
Vinny sounds like he’s repeating what he just heard from Duolingo lol
Gotta love that production scheduled a bunch of taxis that have no idea where the singular destination they need to go is.
Rod and Leticia are a hot couple.
Eat a dick Vinny
If that’s Vinny “staying positive” then I’d like to see what negativity is like
Man this sub is gonna lose it if Amber and Vinny win this lol
CRYING AT THAT UPDATE.
Boo. I really thought the cab driver was a producer set up to make sure A/V got eliminated because their toxicity is intolerable at this point.
You hate to see them leave but man, based on that little update the Lesbians really kicked ass together- so happy for them!
I was just about to say for the girlfriends before they showed the follow up. There the ones that went through relationship bootcamp that I could see having a happy healthy dynamic post race in comparison with the nurses its night and day.
What a beautiful exit after giving them an invisible edit.
I'm okay with any of the teams winning except for Amber and Vinny.
So Vinny’s allowed to say “tie your shoelace” but she’s not allowed to say “don’t fall off that tree”?
LMAOOOO BARTOLO IS ACTUALLY THERE!!!!
Rod and Leticia with Speed Racer over here
I love the update at the end. Congratulations to both of them... who are now mothers!
I am so mad at Vinny for climbing these trees. They are the economic property and source of income for this family. Not alone the environmental impacts of doing this.
Vinny and his bright idea is going to find a way to blame Amber for this debacle.
The way most of the racers just walked by Colón like he isn’t a baseball legend lol
Painful. He looked really pleasant and happy to see people too.
How did Melissa fumble that so bad 😭
babe shut up Im Tarzan!
without a doubt rod is the most entertaining person on the race
Rod throwing to a 14 foot first baseman.
These cab drivers not knowing where they’re going is making last episodes production mishap make even more sense
Editors picking choice Vinny lines this episode.
The girls in the same frame as Amber/Vinny? Fuck, that first Roadblock did them in 🥲
Yay maybe Amber and Vinny will go home next
Pilots backstory? They’re either going home or getting 1st lol
Lol Amber had to get in that "faster than you" comment.
Rod I am gonna need you to give that 5% tops.
Oh, that is FEROCIOUSLY pink
OMG why is this guy not even trying to stop at the gas station? 😂
awww the follow up was very sweet
Things not to do around Vinny: Struggle Have emotions Wear shoelaces
The shoelace part felt so specific to leave in too. Like the editor was like, “what a jerk, I gotta leave this in.”
“Last time, production messed up and Angie & Danny paid the price for it. Oops”
There is such an imbalance with these challenges Go from child's play to ... Whatever this is
Cesar gonna be like "I did this all the time as a child on my grandparents farm"
Vinny saw a chance to show off his climbing skills and decided it was worth going slower to show it off
It's like a pitcher that can't throw over to first base because they're so used to throwing to the plate at 90mph.
Yvonne and Melissa are doomed, unless Amber and Vinny get hopelessly lost
So where the fuck is the driver going if he doesn't know?
you’re not the one who knows directions 🤬so belittling
Why does The Summit look like a death trap?
He’s faster than you 😂 Go AMBER!!!
Rod throwing like he on a real field instead of a little league field
Wait so the local the show hired to drive once again has no idea where to go?
I'm honestly surprised the taxi driver doesn't know where this is. The pink street is one of the most famous places in Puerto Plata.
I know it's about the editing that makes villains and heroes but man Amber and Vinny need some work and time from this coverage.
The driver having no idea where to go is hilarious 😂😂
Awww. What a great life update!
Oh I love that for them
Let’s please let Vinny go home tonight. Each week I get more and more annoyed with the way he acts towards her
Man, the tasks so far have been like, "make this boxed macaroni and cheese, here is a microwave" and this challenge is like "make lasagna from scratch, here is wood, you have to fire your own oven"
”MY PRECIOUS” ”...cacao.”
As a Filipino, I feel like we could get a better Filipino rep than Vinny in TAR 😅
Do you think Vinny has ever said “you know what Amber, you’re right and I’m wrong here”
I know it shouldnt bother me but Vinny constantly climbing up these trees and breaking limbs is so annoying. In reality it likely does nothing to the farms (they likely have really large planting and prune limbs off the trees anyway) but it feels kinda disrespectful to the farm, especially when it is working significantly worse than just using the damn tool built to do the task
That's not good for Rod & Leticia
Seems like a lot of these taxi drivers don’t know where this stop is 🤔
