Hope it's a good season for you guys (can't speak Vetameese so I will not be watching)
I missed first half hour. I think it's a good twist for TARVN.
I'm not sure if the casting for this all-stars season is genius or completely insane. It's interesting definitely. I wouldn't really call it 'All-Stars', but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I guess it was a pretty good first leg with a lot of the bad, bad editing we've come to know.
Is Thu Hien the one listed as "Trần Hiền"? Different name?
I forgot which one is Song Ngu. Long hair or white hair?
Did we get a name for the island with the ropes task, or is it just a random island?
I don't know what's wrong with racers' hair this season. Blondie Thanh Hoa, Blue Richard, White Trúc Như, they all look horrible.
I thought I heard someone in the opening say "Marriage time" or something. Could have been a joke.
Speaking of RiMi, I was laughing so hard when Mimi didn't say a single word besides her own name during their introduction piece. I thought she was going to be a piece of cardboard throughout the race, but I was pleasantly surprised to see them finish so high.
- Huy Khanh is the host.
You should consider Thuy Dung & Phuc Vinh as a composite team, right?
I wonder if the 4-hour penalty is set for all Roadblocks in the original version? As in this version, many types of penalties are used for Roadblocks: 5 minutes for the Roadblock on the first leg of Season 2 (:v , unbelievable), 4 hours for the Roadblock on 5th leg of Season 2 (suitable penalty)and 2 hours for today's leg's Roadblock (should be longer)Dave & Rachel only got 2h for quitting Leg 3 roadblock (they ran out of bottle in this dancing task)

TARV is nothing compared to TARLA when it comes to physical challenges.I hate physical tasks in TARLA because they killed some potential all F/F teams such as Ana Renata & Paula
So this is the list of locations I've got for this one!
-Village House
-Village Bridge (RBK)
-Village Farm (DTR)
...I hope there's some better names for these out there, haha.
Oh by the way, since they've been on two seasons now, do we know Song Ngư's full name yet?
When Chí Phèo woke up, it had been daylight. He felt tired out. He listened to acquainting sounds of daily life outside. He thought about the past, the present and the future and felt sad. He knew he was old but still lonely. At that moment, Thi No came in bringing a pot of hot onion soup. Chí Phèo was very surprised and moved because it was the first time he had been given something by a woman. He wanted to be honest. He hoped Thi No would reconcile him with everyone.
Hey guys! Saw the episode and have some questions before I do up all the Wiki stuff.
1. How many kg of firewood did teams need, and how man km did they need to carry it? (I believe they say both in the episode)
2. What kind of food was made in the Loaf Detour?
3. What exactly was that thing they made in the Hair Detour? (Made out of string? hair? What was it dipped in?)
I'm also curious about Team Cyan. Was Son Ngoc sick, or just exhausted? What were they talking/crying about before walking to the Pit Stop?
Thanks a lot! :D
1. 15kg each. However, if they said the right password (which they found about in the puzzle task, it's actually the man's name and name of his village), they have 1kg off each (14kg each). I'm not sure about km. I will re-check it. I watch it online last night so may be miss some details. Just remember they had to bring it to the man.
2. It's call Bánh Giầy. There are many kind of Bánh Giầy in Vietnam. This one is a special kind from Hà Nhì people.
3. It's kind of wig, not the real hair. I think it make from string. It's dyed by special herb mixture.
4. Team Cyan: During Wooden task, Mau Thuy took a lot of time to do the rope tie. Son Ngoc Minh wanted to help but Mau Thuy didn't want to so he was mad. From that moment, they rarely talked to each other (that's why in the SeeSaw task, you saw them sitting separately during Purple team's bickering). Before the Pitstop, Son Ngoc Minh apologized Mau Thuy and then water-work which I find so forcely drama and annoying.
Next time, teams will cook Cháo Hành (Onion Congee), a famous dish from a Vietnamese short story. Team members will roleplay Chi Pheo and Thi No, I think.

Oh, I forgot to ask if the NEL penalty is still 30 minutes.
The team that placed U-turn came to the pitstop after the team that was U-turned. Has it happened on any legs of The Amazing Race US yet? :funny:
It also happened in TAR Canada 1 leg 5 when Hal & Joanne U-turned Holly & Brett, but finished last and booted (Hal & Joanne was U-turned by Tim Sr & Tim Jr themselves)The team that placed U-turn came to the pitstop after the team that was U-turned. Has it happened on any legs of The Amazing Race US yet? :funny:
It happened in Tar Canada 2 leg 8 in Paris when Pierre & Michel U-Turned Alain & Audrey, they arrived at the roadblock and it took Pierre or Michel 8 hours to complete! And Alain proposed to Audrey :luvya:
What the heck were all those penalties for?Because of onion congee challenge, 10 minute penalty/1 failed pot.
Hey what's up. Very involved leg this time.
1) I need some help with the Detour. How would you translate those names? Google translate says "Bỏ Dùi" is a "silverside drum". How did the La Làng Detour work, exactly? Did the song/style of song have a name, and what was the woman's erhu-like instrument and the drums called?
2) Did we get a name for the temple where the U-Turn is?
And can I just say, it's so great to see Mimi actually giving a damn. She's like a completely different girl from her Season 1 appearance. I'm definitely rooting for those two.
I can't seem to access the wiki :( now I don't have a guide while watching :(
does anyone have another guide to the leg? I can't seem to access the wiki now and I don't have a guide while watching :(I can't write it all but this is the main contents:

Tien Dat has a bossy attitude and Huong Giang is such a b*tch. Criss, you made a good decision to break up with her, you deserve better.
@paradox: I think Tuong challenge was great. :<3
Well that was....kind of weird. What was with this episode? It didn't feel like a TAR episode. Kinda felt like a romantic adventure movie, with the sad, somber music and the really slow pace. So weeeeeeird... And yeah wtf, are Roadblocks just extinct now?
Where did the two Detours take place? Do we have place names? Also, what was the pink penalty for?
Yeah I noticed that one song from Requiem for a Dream during this last episode. The French version did it a lot too, and HaMerotz LaMillion does it a bit. (Un)Licensed music is used a lot in non-US shows in general, at least of shows I've seen.
How did I not know about this thread before. :colors Love that Tuồng Detour. Anyone notice GeorgiaPeach's post about a Vietnamese guy in the crew died in the US?? Poor him :(
@Quốc Nghĩa: Nghĩa đại ca nằm vùng trong này lâu nhỉ haha
Excuse the interruption but I need some help?This is what I heard from big brother canada fanpage:
A TAR filming crew arrived via HK to Saigon yesterday, perhaps on the United flight. Trying ti confirm this was TAR Canada.
Could you all PLEASE check social media and see if anyone has heard anything??
Would be much appreciated!!
If any of the other INTERNATIONAL versions could be possible, please PM me!! Thanks! Will use the Mystery sightings threads for now,

Is the partner allowed to instruct the Roadblock performer some techniques for climbing the coconut trees? In The Amazing Race 27 Leg 3, Denise did the same thing (verbally instruct James Earl how to do the Roadblock) and they received a 30-minute penalty at the end of the leg. ???

Depends on what's written in the clue. The meat Roadblock was about attention to detail, but this one was just "Do this", so producers are probably fine with advice.
I hate Pink team more and more every leg.Why? ???
Lack of money hasn't happened in any seasons of The Amazing Race U.S. before, I think! Hate it :( :( :(
The international portion is coming up next week or the week after? :)
4 continents, 6 countries, it says
TBH, U-turn was such a waste in this leg because there were too much tasks after that.It's also occured in leg 5 of TAR Canada 3, this leg contained dramatic face off, dramatic U-turn and ended with ZHPS
I hate Pink team more and more every leg.
TBH, U-turn was such a waste in this leg because there were too much tasks after that.I think that's the way they should do. I always feel it's so unfair when they place U-turn last or before line near tasks. I like the way TARVN always gives teams a chance to survive U-Turns.

I think the second RB is: Ai thích khó khăn?:ty3:
The South West of Vietnam has 13 provinces and they only visited twice in season 1 and 2 (Kiên Giang & Cà Mau). I hope there are some legs in this areas this season. I was suprised that they passed Hanoi this season, hope someday they will pass HCMC also.
What was going on with the girls at the end of this leg? Why'd they walk back down the hill?
They want to have a love drama, you know :gaah:And Pink love drama is more awful than FF task. :groan:
According to the comments of Criss's status on Facebook, they broke up before the race startedThey want to have a love drama, you know :gaah:And Pink love drama is more awful than FF task. :groan:
Meanwhile, Huong Giang has just confirmed that she and Criss were broken up. :snicker:

Not being able to see this, just curious, what are Lincoln and Tien Dat like? They seem to be the team to beat, top 3 every leg.
I hate how the producer exchange money for a chance to continue racing in this and the last seasonThey exchange the race for 60 million or 150 million, Hương Giang can make the same ammount of money in a week or less. :funny:
That was weird... (Beautiful island though)1. Mò kim đáy biển. (Vietnamese idiom = Find a needle in haystack)
1. Roadblock prompt?
2. How many pearls to win? What's the 15 minute penalty for?
3. I'm guessing these Detour names are Vietnamese idioms too. "Snake Fish Snake Toad" doesn't make much sense, haha.
4. What's the point of standing on the block of ice? Lincoln got off, but nothing happened?
5. What did the blindfolded team member have to do at the temple?
6. How much is the exchange offer after the Fast Forward? (60 or 150?)
No. Thanks.
The host was talking for so long, I thought he was giving green team some kind of bonus for not using the Express Pass.
This leg was straight-up boring. I almost fell asleep. Great representation of Australia there.
So what do we know about the stuff that was cancelled? Was anything besides the aerodome task cancelled?
And not a good move from production team when they even did not say anything about the camereman.Or because his family doesn't want it to be mentioned. Let's wait for Behind the scenes episode, maybe they will mention about it.
For bow task, I hope they did like TARCAN 3 where Nicole had to bike 1 km every fails.And not a good move from production team when they even did not say anything about the camereman.Or because his family doesn't want it to be mentioned.

I think sheep task and bow task were good but penalty waiting time ruined everything. I don't know why Vietnamese production team like penalty time so much, teams literally have to wait everytime.
For bow task, I hope they did like TARCAN:funny:32 where Nicole had to bike 1 km every fails.
They are so stupid at geography. :funny:
Actually, I can spot all prefectures in middle of Vietnam but I'm so confused with many prefecture in North and South of Vietnam.

I mean the questions. They don't know where plant "lonely" garlic and where Thac Ba hydroelectric is. :funny:
So are all 4 previous winning teams there, or just those 2?One and a half. :funny:
It'd be a cool task if they were all there, so each of the final 4 had to choose one.
Edit: Oh right. One of the teams IS one of the previous winners :funny:
-How many haybales had to be carried and stacked?
I wanted the tennis players to win in Season 2, and since the Red team is made of half of it I've been rooting for them. They're not particularly good (which I don't understand considering how his team dominated that season), so the only way I can picture them winning is if there's an equalizer of some sort at the beginning or Pink and Green make a grave mistake.
Is next week the finale?
LOL imagine Richie having to crawl through those tiny tunnels.Imagine Erin (or Joslyn) having to crawl through those tiny tunnels. It's gonna be best freak out since Mika. :funny:

Well, that was a season.
>How many pictures with the human statues needed to be taken? 10. But they had to include men, women, old people and children.
>Can someone explain to me the Drama Detour? Did it involve improvisation? They just re-play a comedic play to satisfy the judge. The judge will judge based on their own thought. Noone know why Red team had to do it 3 times when they were the only one who did everything right from the first try (except the attitude, based on the judge).
>Was there a time limit for the segway task? Yes. I will recheck or someone can give you that time limit.
>Was there a time limit for the climbing task? Yes.
I'm just assuming that none of the contestants changed their family names or hometowns since their last season. If you have information to disprove this, let me know. Vietnamese rarely change their name or hometowns. So No.
I've heard that Criss Lai will team up with Nhat Anh and cast TARA.
I prefer Nhat Anh with Ngoc Anh than boring Cris Lai.

Maybe he will be better with English speaking show and having no one like Huong Giang yelling to him.
However, I hope TAR Asia will not reject fellow racers. I think Kent & Vyxsin was rejected once because they did not want experienced racers.

Kent & Vyxsin are not Asians :funny:
A lot contestants of TARA past 4 seasons were not asians.
They had less of a tie to Asia than any of the teams cast, at least.
Why would they pair up Criss and Nhat Anh? Just cast Nhat Anh & Ngoc Anh, they were great.
Were all three previous winning teams at the finish line? I saw 1 and 4's winners there.
Oh, and in response to the person who commented on several legs having the same placements, to be fair to the season the placements shifted in many of those legs and only turned out like that at the end.
Well with not much else to do today...almost got those Vietnam 5 Wikipedia leg summaries done at long last! Moved on to that long neglected page today right after finishing the last 3 legs of TAR China 4.
9 of 11 legs written, 2 to go. But my energy tank is running on empty for tonight.
You're very welcome :)
Ah! Nice to finally get some news on a season 6! So they just started filming?
