hey guys, i know a method to skip all the buffering, but it requires you some time for the whole video to be in a good quality, just right click on the video browser, and choose 64kbps, instead of the usual 400kpbs, then the whole video will load smoothly, but video quality will not be as clear as the 400kpbs, hope it helps guys

I loved the Kenyan's and their spirit! Also the Momshells, although leaving your fanny pack?? :o

Can't wait to see more!

Remember, if you find a link, either PM me or post it directly at the link site I sent you!

I am certainly not going to argue with your fix, Evan. I happened to have logged into that site for the previous program "Culture Matters" and it was very intersting. I am on a slow 3G aircard and my puter only did the buffering for about 3-4 minutes then it got synced and I didnt have any problems by the time that China Rush started. I didnt change any settings, btw.

Now watching TAR: CR (no, not the place where Jen pees! :lol:)

WOW! I like it! It's cinematography (or the video taking, you know what I mean) is very impressive. The teams are lovable. Sound mixing and editing is commendable. The only thing I am not liking is Allan Wu himself... he's too lame, e.g. "Welllcooommmmeee to Chhhaaiiinna". (That is IMO)

But overall, TAR: CR is FANTASTIC! :colors :colors

P.S. The TAR: CR intro is :hearts: :hearts:

I'm getting used to Allan already. :lol:

I love the fact that they ate the entire turtle, this is even more cruel and evil than the fish eyes in TAR 10 Leg 1. And the puzzle piece task reminds me of the TAR 16 Final 4 task at the stadium. But then picking strawberries is something new, so that's cool. But you would have expected Leg 1 to include a very challenging task such as repelling or what.. but it didn't..

Who wanna make a bet that Rich and Josh and Rachel and Charlie are going to be in the final 3? :lol:

Teams i really like are all the 3 all-female teams, Rick and Joshua and Paul and Francis. Non of the co-ed teams appeal to me right now.

The Momshells are really hot, aren't they? :neener:

The one team i REALLY REALLY do not like is Deepak & Naresh, annoying, irritating and very very egoistic. Anyone remembers Sahil and Prashant from TAR Asia? Ewww.

I would say it's a good first leg, but the editing needs to get better. Halfway throughout i had no idea who's leading and who's not. It's all very mashed up.

The links we have been using appear to not be working right now, and the ITV rerun is not up either that I can find.

It appears that this may be due to the National Day of Mourning for the mudslide victims in Gansu province .

Weihen has shared some information that TARCR Ep2 will probably change the airing time to Aug16 00:30 (Chinese time).

We will update here and on the other thread as we know. :thankyou: weihen!!

According to a statement by the State Council, nationwide mourning activities will be held on Sunday for the victims of the massive mudslide in Zhouqu, Gansu province.

CCTV’s International Channels -- CCTV-4, CCTV-News, CCTV-E、CCTV-F、CCTV-R and CCTV-A will change some programs on August 15th (00:00 to 24:00, Beijing Time). During this period, all entertainment programs on CCTV will be cancelled.

But they were instantly loveable, I would have liked to see more of them. Loved how they took time to help the others with the archery, hate that it put them behind.

But as mentioned in the threads, we do not post links here in order to protect our uploaders. I have moved this to the "share all the links" site, so if any RFF members need that site info, please let me know.

Hope to see you joining in the fun!  :waves:

Allan Wu has posted a link to episode 3 on Twitter....to the CCTV site.

Bonnie and Mel caught the "fast train." It left later, but arrived earlier. Thats how they got the lead and then it took them a while to get the clue at the "drinking" roadblock and got passed by several teams there. But you are right, they were generally slower in their tasks.

The link in the first post should take you to the site...scroll back to the airing date (last was Sept 5 and look for 20:00)...that should work for the last one, but am not sure how long they are leaving up the episodes. There are rerun times as well you can look for...

Yeah, and there are quite a lot of entrances to the great wall. The first time i went to there i was also confused

the reason is that the great Wall has many gaps along its 2000+ miles and there were access points every so much distance. The most famous access point, because it is closest to Beijing's tourist market and to the 22 million Chinese who live in and around Beijing, is at Badaling (aka Juyongguan to Amazing Race fans). There are also major access points nearby at  Huanghuacheng, Mutianyu, Jiankou, Gubeikou, Jinshanling and Simatai great wall.

Wow!

I finally caught up with episodes 4 & 5, and episode 5 was one of my favorite TAR episodes since TAR14.

I love it when tasks are challenging to everyone and when they can result in a shuffling of every team's placement; the duck carving and communication tasks were great at that.  Even the detour was pretty good.

I was surprised that Rick & Josh said that they didn't know Mandarin.

Sean & Amy are definitely the type of combustible team that the US TAR loves to cast.  I doubt that it would happen, but I would have no problem with either Sean & Amy or Bonnie & Mel showing up as racers on TAR:US.

          then they go to fengshandadian

          time bunching
          detour:trees or keys(trees:plant trees,keys:TARS6 RB)
          pitstop:peak of Mount-tai
          Rick and Josh,Sean and Amy made big mistake not carrying bags.
         1st:Charile and Rachel(won a trip to Mount-Lu,Mount-Hua,Mouht-Huang)

Halfway through the race! Here's my summary.

Leg 1: Too many tasks, uneven editing
Leg 2: Not bad, but I hate mid-leg HoOs.
Leg 3: Not bad.
Leg 4: Felt too short, but I liked the tasks.
Leg 5: The roadblock and the art tasks were the best I've seen in a long time. Absolutely hated the detour. Oh man no NEL?
Leg 6: Great locales, but what was with that mid-leg HoO? This leg was a really endurance, luck, and strength based one. Lots of stairs! And still no NEL? That kills the suspense for the next leg.

Sean reminded me a little of Terence (Terence & Sarah) and Amy reminded me of the whiny girls like Jennifer, Sarah and Meghan. Bonnie & Mel would be roadkill in the American version though.

What makes you say Bonnie and Mel would be roadkill in the American version? If I think your coming from where I think your coming from, then look at Meredith and Gretchen, Linda and Karen, Fran and Barry...Did you think they'd go that far?

No ageism here.

Most legs had Hours of Operation that allowed them to catch up, or the behind team fell behind (Paul & Francis, Miguel & Hector) that allowed them to catch up...

If Bonnie & Mel were racing in say Season 16, I could see them falling behind with the buses and getting slimed by the zipwire roadblock. Some with this season probably, they would struggle with the catapult. Also in TAR:CR and TARA, the tendency to have fewer physical roadblocks. A team like A.D & Fuzzie would definitely also be out first or second in the American versions.

I watched it last night, too many unexpected things in ep6, I never thought Sean and Amy would be emilinated, Mount Tai is so hard to climb due to its countless steep stairs, tasks requires both strength and luckiness.
I was very glad Sarah did finished the dam task, poor girl~ and Momshells surprised me!

Leg6:travel by train to Taishan(Mount-tai)
        go to Dai temple
        Many teams speak Dai temple "Dai Si"  instead of "Dai Miao"(correct ) make taxi driver confused.("Si" and "Miao" both have the meaning of "temple" in Chinese).
         go to Tianwaicun Square(RB:climb dam)
         Sean finish quickly,Sarah has problem and cry
          then they go to fengshandadian
          task:find a "china rush" stone
          time bunching
          detour:trees or keys(trees:plant trees,keys:TARS6 RB)
          pitstop:peak of Mount-tai
          Rick and Josh,Sean and Amy made big mistake not carrying bags.
         1st:Charile and Rachel(won a trip to Mount-Lu,Mount-Hua,Mouht-Huang)
         2nd:Sarah and Molly
         3th:Indians
         4th:Karen and Lisa
         5th:Rick and Josh
         6th:Sean and Amy(emilinated)
They made big mistake leaving bags caused their emilinated.

Not sorry to see the back of Amy [and Sean].  A lot of the time, she was quite difficult to watch, and equally difficult to like.

That was a real busy episode. Sean and Amy reminded me of Zach and Flo......I will miss Sean, but not Amy.....just too underhandeded a racer. I felt sure there would be a NEL to save them....lol

All of the other teams just rocked on. They all looked exhausted at the end.

Fav comment: When the taxi driver told Naresh and Depeek to speak Mandarian and one of them said "We are speaking Mandarian!!!!"  That just cracked me up.

G'bye, Amy!  :waves:

I must admit, though, that she was good for infusing some extra drama into the race (Sean was very likeable, though).

I like all of the remaining teams, so am not rooting for any of them to do poorly at this point; they are all good competitors. This leg seemed so physically strenuous that I'm impressed with any team that is still in the race!

Can't wait to see what happens in Ep 7!

(Looooong time lurker; first time poster. I know one of the contestants well, so have really appreciated these forums and all of the scoop people have found and posted so far -- especially during filming!)

Amy and Sean are not lucky. In the amazing race, small mistakes makes the difference. We know the top 5 and I think that leg 7 will be a non-elimination leg.

Even though Bonnie & Mel and A.D. & Fuzzie are probably not top-tier teams on paper, I believe that both teams are physically stronger than a team like Charla & Mirna. 

Either Bonnie or Mel said that they were in the US Air Force, and, even though that was years ago, you'd have to have some degree of fitness to be in the military.

This is wierd. I keep trying to watch the episode, but after the ads at @25.00 minutes, part of the ad image remains overlayed on the screen and I can only see bits and pieces of the video through the overlay. This happens only when I watch China Rush, and at both broadcast times. I tried rebooting and restoring my computer and deleting cookies (in case it's something I did), but it's still there.

Are others having this problem as well? If not, has anyone had the problem before and know how to shake it?

Last week, I had to wait until the clips showed up on YouTube because every time I tried to connect to the site I kept getting the error message that the site didn't exist (i.e., like the site had crashed), but this issue is even more perplexing...lol.

I had the same problem, but only for the showing at 06.45 on the 27th. There is a showing at around 00.30 at the 27th which you can test.

I'm happy to hear about a second season.

I remember seeing Anthony Bourdain get his ears cleaned in Chengdu before and I don't remember it bothering him much.  Lisa & Karen reacted like they were being tortured by the ear cleaner at the speed bump.

I liked that both detours were challenging in different ways.  Seeing racers brought to their knees from the spicy food showed how difficult it really was.

One of my favorite moments was seeing the cab driver take a bathroom break.  I don't remember seeing that before on any other race.

Well I am glad that it skipped for someone else besides me. I thought it was my computer. I will try again later this week to see if they got it fixed. The last place team was quite suprising. And you are right, 3 NELs in a row is too much....but they only started with 10 teams so maybe they are making up for that.

That's putting it mildly...lol! They have done so well up to now, too. It just goes to show how quickly one's standing can change. Rachel did not handle pressure well this week.

But, everyone goes forward one more time! Next week is bound to be especially tense, though, since one of the teams is now certain to be eliminated...

Well I tried watching it again this morning. The first time, it worked fine till about the 33 minute mark and then switched to ICN News. Started it a 2nd time and it played all the way through.

Rachel just has too much of a quick temper. She lost her cool at the first task and never regained it. They went from 1st to last on the leg because of it. It's just that simple.

I did love Charlie's comment..........Pandas 1, Rachel 0

I didn't remember it, so I re-watched it, and Louie & Michael took their bags with them up to the Fast Forward.  When they came back down, they didn't see the taxi driver and they assumed that he went to use the restroom, but there's no clear footage of him going into one or coming from one.  He just jogs back from inside the complex. 

With Charlie & Rachel, their taxi driver left them in the cab and we see him coming out of the restroom.
----
The closest thing that I can remember to three straight NELs is three NELs in four episodes during TAR5.  I especially remember Kevin & Drew mentioning it back then.

3 NELs in a row? That must be Amazing Race's first. :lol:

I would say the producers took a huge risk here. It would have been a lot less interesting to watch if the first team not eliminated had failed to catch up and just lagged further and further behind. This was specially likely on leg #9 where there were no bunching points.

And it was actually pretty close. If Charlie and Rachel had not crashed as hard as they did then Deepak & Naresh would have been hopelessly last again.

I guess that Charlie and Rachel got a really really bad taxi driver from the bamboo to the bus station. I found it pretty unbelievable that that was when Naresh and Deepak passed them and actually got an earlier bus. Charlie and Rachel had absolutely no good luck that leg.

My video was messed up too and it kept skipping. It seems it is easier to watch in a couple of days. I think that maybe too many people try to log onto the site and watch. The ICS player gets really messed up.

As for the episode.......anohter topsy turvy one. They did have an elimination this time.

Again thanks, Dånooky

As I have posted several times before, the problem started for me about a month ago. I have used multiple strategies to try to over come it. Refreshing the screen does not solve the problem for me. Not since the first time. I restart my puter to erase the RAM before I watch the program. I have one window open in my browser to the SMG site and only have the browser and anti-virus running. It is still impossible to watch.

I have found if I watch it at a time other then when it is running "live," it runs/works perfectly. Maybe your hint will help others.

I always download the video first and then watch it offline. I have had problems with earlier episodes but then I have always been able to download any of the other showings to solve the problem. Unfortunately that has not helped with E10.

There are currently three showings available:
  Sunday 20:00, the video is broken from start and flickers all the time.
  Monday 00:30, the video is broken from start like the first showing
  Monday 06:30, looks good until around 45 minutes were the video starts to flicker

I have downloaded the last showing twice and both copies breaks at the same time so I suspect the file is broken on smgbb. :groan:

Is anybody else seeing the same symptoms?

Does anybody have a clean copy?

Housewife!! Big :welcome2: to RFF and thank you so very much for all the links! This will be a huge help!

Unfortunately, we have found that publicising the links seems to hasten their being removed for copyright violations. I would say that probably 90% of the TAR Asia links I have from Season 3 were removed, maybe more.

SO we share these now only privately, not online, but know that they will be cherished!!

If you want to email me the last two as they come, I will see that they are updated as well.

We are very appreciative, just want to be sure to keep them safe!

Thanks again!

I'm not Weihan and hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this but 1st task? Detour - they had to climb a scaffolding thing - 1. D&N 2. R&J  3.C&R
Then they had to go to car museum and find the key that starts a vintage sports car??
Same order as above
Then they had to do a driving test of sorts - had to keep to within 3km of the speed limit on a course...
1. R&J 2. D&N 3. C&R

Then the livestream just skips so I'm guessing they all got on the same metro to the World Expo
Wine tasting challenge...
1. C&R 2. D&N  3.R&J

Then ?final challege they had to place tacks on all their previous pitstops on a map of china....

Indians came to there first,then R/J,Charile and Rachel got there last since their taxi driver got lost.then they finish RB in the same order.
go to Shanghai automobile museum(task:find a car in hundreds of cars,then start the car and get key)
Indians and Charile/Rachel have trouble starting cars since they don't press icon,this takes them long time.

task:drive cars in the speed repuested

Indians came to there first,but failed first time so that they fell behind Rick/Josh.Charile/Rachel finish this task last but all three teams on the same subway to EXPO.
go to EXPO south african  pavilion by subway(task:taste wine)Rachel/Charile got ahead in this task,then Indians,Rick/Josh last and Josh feel frustrated since he has been worked in a wine factory in Australia but they can't get through this tsk first.
go to China railway pavilion (memory task:point out all the places they have been to in order)[/i]
all three teams failed first time since they put Shanghai first instead of Ningbo.
bund
here teams find  clue written by Chinese,they have to figure out where finish line is.

Congrats to Rae and Charlie. It was a tough race, but they were terrific competitors all the way through. I liked the Aussies a lot, too, but of course only one team can cross finish line first.

Rae's mom and I are childhood friends, and we really enjoyed following together all of the info posted about the show in the threads here in the RFF forum. Many thanks (especially to weihen!) for ferreting out so many clues, especially during the taping of the show. It especially made it easier on the family since of course Rae could tell them nothing about what was going on until after each episode was broadcast.

It really was an amazing race!

You can still catch it at the link in the first post in this thread (e.g., at 13:30 on 11/8, or 20:00 on 11/7).

I didn't have any problems at all with the buffering this time, either.

It's pretty fun to watch! Everyone is relaxed, and it's clear that they enjoy each other.

Finally caught up and finished the season. The finale was tense and fun to watch, and I can live with the conclusion!

The season as a whole? I question the choice of locations to represent China. Zhaoqing's my ancestral hometown so that's pretty cool, but I'm thinking it's too generic, like many other locations they visited, in a race that's supposed to showcase the diversity of the country. The tasks were generally good, but some of them were just random non-location-related tasks and badly edited.

After four whole seasons of practice, Allan Wu is still over-dramatic and contrived.

The thing that made the season as enjoyable as it was are the teams. I loved every single one of them (even the bickering couples), and hated when each one of them was eliminated. Not sure why I don't feel as connected to the US teams, even with the very likable cast of TAR 17.

Good first run, but would have hoped it had the oomph, location-wise, of first-season TAR: Classic!

Buying the rights — and the show bibles — is key, said Li Yi, the executive at SMG’s International Channel Shanghai (ICS) in charge of “The Amazing Race: China Rush”.

“Buy the copyright and learn the essence from that. That’s very important,” Li said.

SMG approached Disney, which owns the rights to “The Amazing Race”, last year about producing an English-language China-based franchise for the one-year countdown to this year’s World Expo, Li said.

When it became clear Disney needed longer to negotiate terms, ICS told Disney it would produce a similar 2009 programme, “Shanghai Rush”, as they worked towards a deal for this year.

The two sides eventually worked out a deal and the Disney-licensed version that debuted in August drew an audience three times as big as “Shanghai Rush”, Li said.

Li declined to discuss terms but called it “very reasonable”, with Disney holding the rights to sell the ICS show outside China. Disney saw it as part of a long-term China investment, he added.

The deal brought in Disney’s expert advice on travel planning, adjusting games to contestants’ strengths and maximising suspense, he said.

“One thing was very impressive: they gave the very huge amount of manpower required. That’s very important, so we could see a very big difference between the West and China’s TV industry,” Li said.

The result was ICS’s most expensive programme yet, but also one of its most profitable, as it used the foreign brand name to even attract overseas advertisers.

Some things to improve on for CR2:

Don't do 3 NELs in a row. That just got annoying.
No problem with destinations, just don't reuse any one of the ones in CR1.
Don't go overboard with the tasks (true for TARA and TARLA as well), there's just too little time in a hour to fit everything in.
Don't put equalizers in the middle of the leg like at Mt. Taian.

All I know is that 9 teams in CR1 was casted by their applying video except Kenyas(production found them when production filmed another TV show at Kenya)...so I think it's much easier to be choosen in CR than TAR american vision.
I thnik they may want to choose teams who not know Chinese so that will make more drama...but if you want to win,you had better know a little Chinese(you can understand this after you watch the last clue in CR1  :lol:)

PS:I'm sorry maybe I can't do much things about CR2 because I had to prepare a important exam this year...I will try my best but can't be like last season.

Spmehpw I still think they will only want teams with a strong China connection.... makes it more interesting.

We don't have a date yet dp we? I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a gap of a year or so....but now we know to look out for them! :hearts:

Real life always comes first....but hope the timing will let you play too!

I had a lot of fun watching TAR:CR. After the 1st episode, I pretty much figured out that the expats living in China would do better than the teams from outside if China. They just didnt have as much of a language barrier as the "foreign" teams. I was suprised that Rick and Josh managed to finish in the top 3. Their relaxed demeanor overcame their lack of language skills in getting from one task to the next and their physical ability got them through tasks much faster than the other teams it seemed.

As Neobie has already said, I liked ALL the teams. Since I have lived a lot of my life as an expat in various places, I especially enjoyed watching people that have taken the challenge of leaving the comfortable confines of native lands to seek life's experiences by living and working in another culture and economy.

Since weihen advocated self-driving for season 2, I wanted to know how difficult it would be for teams not from mainland China to drive there.

I don't remember the US TAR ever allowing teams to drive working cars in India or mainland China.

After watching the show Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads, where professional truckers from North America drive in India, I totally understand why TPTB wouldn't allow teams to drive in India; the likelihood of getting into an accident and then getting lynched is way too high. 

How is it in mainland China?

How is it in mainland China?

US TAR never allowed teams drivng in China because that IDP didn't work at China mainland...if you want to drive in China,you must go to China and pass a exam to get Chinese drive driver license ,it will take long time.
