The Unfortunate Beau Ryan Trilogy

Think of bad Thai food, as we are back for our second season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race Australia 2! Over the next twelve weeks, three people who refuse to wait in the A-C area - Logan, Michael & Michelle - are recapping a season that has an insane reputation amongst fans (which is completely justified), beginning with the first leg and Salvage of Lucy & Emilia!
In this episode - we date our recording almost immediately, Logan brags about a VPN, the real villain of the season is revealed, there's a small concern that people will get confused, we chat culture shock, the Ten seasons get a small amount of praise, Paul is a time traveller, we wonder how you can be competitive in your dating life, Michelle was (sort of) at the starting line, we explain what the point of the entire leg was, Kym has a Bruce Bogtrotter moment, Logan doubts Production are being honest, the editors begin their foreshadowing mission, the confetti cannon gets a mention, Paul may have been on the money about Kym & Donna, Ross is old, Liam Neeson stops by, Lucy & Emilia's shock is explained, we reveal what would have happened if the Salvage Pass was unused and we look ahead to next week.
Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Leg 2!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free - however, as with our other historical recaps, this episode may contain references to episodes that we have already covered - namely from Seasons 3; 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5.
Additional note: Look, we can't wait for the rest of these Historians episodes! It's a ripper-roaring season!

The Eleventh Word

Put on your Slush Puppie socks, because we're back for De Mol België Season 11 - and its visit (which we can take partial credit for) to Arizona! Over these nine weeks, three guys who have been known to intentionally throw the coin toss - Michael, Logan & Bindles - have been recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, concluding with the reunion.
In this episode - we wonder whether our cameo was successful, Bindles shows up, we blame the "Bloody DeLorean", there's a bit of gloaty housekeeping, Comfort's attitude as Mole is refreshing, we touch upon Finale Fashion, Gilles' secret is revealed, the cameo is critiqued, another Mole franchise spoils its third Mole, the season's legacy is analysed, the opportunity to dump on NetMol is taken, our next Mole Historians is spelt out, Bindles has been sneaky (fifteen times!) and credit is given to those we deem worthy.
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made.
Additional note: In this episode, you'll find out what's next - and we've been hiding something...

Those We Deem Worthy

Find someone to share the awkwardness and terror of "oh shit, we're wrong!" with, because we're back for De Mol België Season 11 - and its visit (which we can take partial credit for) to Arizona! Over these nine weeks, two guys who always give you a hard time for messing up one verb conjugation - Michael & Logan - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, continuing with the eighth episode and reveal of Comfort as Mole!
In this episode - we discuss how busy our respective weeks were, Logan had a reaction, someone earns praise, we recalibrate what we expect from a Mole in future, Michael has a particularly awkward record, we swap airline opinions, there are more stories that weren't in the Diary, our opinions on the DeLorean twist slightly change, we've had our first Listener Correction of the Week in years (kind of) which could lead to some repercussions, Michael runs through the bonus bingo card, we wonder what happened to Larry, Toos is a team player, we rank pieces of information, the reason for the cactus fall is revealed, the way to be okay with the DeLorean is explained, Season 12 is happening, There are the official results of the Pool, First Impressions and Suspicions (where someone does a Michael Harmstone Classic), our Suspicions and the Suspect List, the pot is compared and we begin to rank the season.
We will see you next week for the reunion!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made. This episode also - for potentially obvious reasons! - refers to something that happened in Mole Australia 4 a few times, as well as the actions of someone in El Salvador & Nicaragua.
Additional note: We're still in shock, as was the rest of the press room - can we make sense of it next week?
