Title: TAR 29 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread **SPOILERS** Read Post #1!
Post by: georgiapeach on May 31, 2016, 07:53:05 PM
This thread is for Bitching, Moaning, and of course, Squealing .  A place to let off some steam.
 
BUT!!

It is NOT for legitimate discussion of spoilers. Those posts should go in the spoiler discussion thread, that is how we all figure out what is going on!!
 
MUST READ:

** Just a reminder that RFF prides itself on our friendships and relationships with current and past racers and their families, who DO read what is being said here.
 
While it is perfectly fine to explain why you think a racer or a team was chosen, how you think they will do, comment on how they race, or why they just aren't your favorite, it is NOT okay to be rude or impolite in doing so. We don't allow personal attacks on each other or on our racer friends. Comments on how/why they raced are fair, personal attacks are not. And RFF is a PG14 site, so do watch the language.

These guidelines will be enforced, so have fun, enjoy the conversations, but do stay within the guidelines or you may lose posting privileges. Fair warning.
 
Otherwise have a great time, we are going to have fun!!  :hearts:

I often wonder if people camp outside LAX hoping to see the teams depart.

The one good thing about the frequency of LA starts is it provides a pretty much guaranteed spot to get the first cast photos.

Feels a little weird to have to refer to them by descriptions again, actually, after 2 back-to-back seasons of pre-revealed identities.

It will be interesting since one would assume an alpha male or female would love to choose another alpha male/female. Or at least, someone that looks like one.

One possible thing to look forward to is if a very fit looking guy or girl is chosen, but they end up not being very strong, physically.  Or a not-so-fit looking person getting chosen and actually having more Race-ready qualities that gets a team further. lol

If it's alphas picking off weaker teams all Race, then UGH

It just makes no sense to do a pick-em when casting/production/whatever could have just slapped teams together themselves. Mashing people up into teams before the official start was the impression I got when the theme was announced.

I'm actually sold on this one. It is a pick that could cost you a million dollars or win a million dollars. Definitely different from Survivor's Schoolyard Pick.

If TAR goes to 8 PM Thursday, it would be replacing Big Bang Theory and the new comedy Great Indoors. Not likely. Especially after CBS went to the trouble of setting up a night of comedy. Sticking TAR in the middle of that would be weird. They certainly aren't cancelling shows before the season even starts.

If Big Bang goes to midseason though, it may be reruns as TBBT would be on break. TAR could easily fit in like how Survivor leads off a night of Procedurals on Wednesday.

Also I'm kind of neutral about Panama. It's definitely nice because we've never started there, but at the same time, the TAR19 leg wasn't really memorable aside from the cryptic pre-Pit Stop clue and the TAR8 Panama leg was generally eh but elevated by the Weaver van meltdown + Tammy Gaghan getting slammed into the van by Carissa + Paolo Fast Forward.

As much as I'd like that to happen, I expect that reruns of Big Bang Theory would do better in the ratings than TAR (and most other shows on CBS).    :(

It's speculative as CBS will start the season, as it did last season, with 8 weeks or so of NFL Thursday Night Football before NBC gets the other 8. CBS may have other changes to make not foreseen at the May upfronts, and that may determine when TAR 29 airs as to night and time and what week that would start.

Even though I like the SLT twist, I'm not as excited for the cast (yet). Twist and route are good so far, though. Currently, I'm only half-excited.

The combo of 9 M/F, 1 M/M, and 1 F/F is obviously unbalanced, but the good news is that there's at least 1 of each classification of teams, unlike TAR26. I'm interested to find out how long the 1 M/M and 1 F/F will last. Now I'm a bit excited for the cast!

I liked the idea of a Schoolyard Pick because it is a million dollar decision but there's also a letdown for me, there's too much M/F teams, 9 teams and only 1 each F/F & M/M. It's the singles choice, I respect that, but production could have done something to balance it out. I don't know if you'll all agree to this but I think it would have been better if production somehow dictated if they announced that there are only 5 slots for M/F teams, 3 slots for F/F teams and 3 slots for M/M teams.

Probably would have been better (and less cringe-worthy).

Also of note... (Ashton.)

Her LinkedIn profile noted she's Miss Fort Worth USA 2010 2nd Runner Up.

It's been quite some time since TAR had their obsession about beauty queens, so I don't feel like I should complain (unless this becomes a "thing" for a few more seasons).

Best example on recent-era TAR seasons are Tiffany & Krista pre-season. All the casual comments saying they were stupid dumb and only had looks to back themselves up :res:

For some reason, the majority of hate is directed to female contestants and I can't quite understand why. Aside from Justin, I don't think any casual has hated another male racer for quite some time in recent-era seasons while girls like Kelly/Shevonne (iirc casuals hated them preseason and after their boot they kept going negative about them and saying thank goodness they were out first lol), Blair (Scott/Blair), Hayley, Logan (Logan/Chris), Dana (Dana/Matt) received equally if not as much vitrol.

Particularly Dana and Hayley.

Well, I think Dana certainly deserved the vitriol she got.  But some of the vitriol for the others could have been because editing focused on the moments when these women acted badly and emphasized it.

I'm impressed because it looks like they got racers from across America. A realtor from Texas, a beard enthusiast from Pennsylvania as well as a female racer from the same state, a firefighter from Rhode Island. Apart from that, cast looks diverse to me.

South America --> Asia is hard to happen due to very limited flights and it would need fly back to North America to do that.


So South America --> Africa/Europe/Australia & New Zealand would likely happen next.


1) South America --> Africa (Sao Paulo have daily non-stop flight to Johannesburg, South Africa.)
2)
South America --> Europe (Sao Paulo have multiple daily non-stop flight to various European cities)
3) South America --> Aus/NZ (Only 3 airlines provides the flights between South America and Oceania. LATAM Chile provides Santiago-Auckland-Sydney flights, Qantas provides Santiago-Sydney flights, Air New Zealand provide Buenos Aires - Auckland flights)

Australia is indeed overdue for a visit (season 18). Too bad Melbourne during last season's filming turned out to be Israel and not us :(

But they're probably headed to Africa or Europe as per usual.

You can add New Zealand as well (last visit was TAR22). Yeah it sad to see Melbourne not featured on TAR28 but in retrospect I'm glad it didn't waste on the meh-****ty TAR28 cast.


Fun Fact of Aus/NZ visit: Every Aus/NZ visit since TAR13 was featured on the Westward route while the last Aus/NZ visit featured on the  Eastward route was TAR9.


Europe would be my bet for their next destination after South America tho.

The F/F's sightings at the metro (partially?) cost them the race. Ironically, it was our first photo sighting of Sao Paulo. :o

Their SIGHTINGS in NO way cost them the race.

Their mistakenly taking the Metro prob did .

That's pretty awesome.  Though even one Asian-American team would be great too. Hehe.

I think I miswrote that part, so I'll edit it in a while, but I meant that the place they were sighted at, the metro, was their wrong move which probably caused their elimination, while it was our first sighting of a team in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Used to be. It said on an episode of House Hunters International that they cleaned up the crime in recent years, and now the capital, Bogota (not seen on 28, unfortunately) is now an emerging hotspot for business.

Possibly. Hopefully they show up soon. I'm tired at looking at paint dry if you know what I mean :funny:. If they have an extended pitstop, its possible we may not see them again until Sat/Sun.

Hopefully, Team 10 and 1 pull through.

Same here, I've been searching but nothing turns up. I remember we experienced the same thing in Season 26 where we lost the teams for a while. It turns out the missing leg was in Germany, with info popping sometime after they filmed there. I'm thinking we've lost them for 2 legs already. My bet is rural Brazil (just a hunch).

I mentioned this a couple of seasons back, but one list of places to keep an eye on are those countries and regions of countries that Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown has visited outside the U.S. since its original season premiered in 2013. TAR 28's visit to Cartagena, Columbia is one such place. Another that might be relevant for leg 3 is Salvador, Brazil. it's far enough northeast of Rio and Sao Paolo to have to fly (near the Equator) and the Bourdain episode there relevant several things of interest that could be used for Race tasks in a beautiful tropical setting.

Bourdain has now been to Cuba, Myanmar, (and the Republic of Georgia at almost the same time as TAR 28), so it is something I think is worth considering in trying to pick up where the Racers may be ATM.

Very interesting. I also watch Anthony Bourdain's shows and a huge fan of it. Maybe production is taking inspiration from Anthony Bourdain's: Parts Unknown or has contacts working for both Anthony Bourdain & TAR considering they are both travel shows. I'd love to have a leg in Salvador or Fortaleza, Brazil.

This route looks amazing. Please just don't step anywhere near China.

Just stay in Europe 1 more leg.. go to like somewhere Mongolia + Asia (never visited before) for 3 legs or remote then go to Oceania (Aussie or NZ) for 2 legs then back to America.

PLS
Can I repost this for emphasis?

Well Elise said this. It's pretty much what they say every season, but obviously this time they meant "like you have never seen before" literally as far as the cast.

Quote
The WRAP:
We spoke with your fellow producer Jerry Bruckheimer earlier this week. He told us that you guys always have more good ideas up your sleeve. Can you project on the future of the “Race”? What do you have to do in the next season shooting this summer to make sure this becomes a multiple season pickup?


Elise Doganeiri:
 Jerry Bruckheimer is right, we do have more good ideas up our sleeve. Hmmm, what can I say … to be honest I have to keep it all under wraps but I will tell you, we have a fantastic cast lined up, exciting new places and challenges, and a new twist like you have never seen before.

Hopefully "new places" includes countries. None so far.

Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Norway. <3


I wish they visit Finland instead of Norway tho.

We don't know that Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania are separate legs.

We don't know that mainland Tanzania is visited, no?

The odds are, based on TAR 11, that teams transited through the Tanzania mainland to get to Zanzibar. That does not mean that they got any clues or tasks on the mainland, just that it was a transit point.

We need a close look at flights to determine whether or not there was time for a leg or not. May have had to be a HOR.

But I am HOPING!!  Seems a long way to go to not do Tanzania as well.

I guess, if it turns out that's where they're stopping, Milan proper would make a nice leg. It's barely been visited (1 route marker and Fast Forward at the beginning of Season 4 was it).

But Italy's kind of up there on the # of seasons visited list.

Milan  :groan:

In recent Italy legs (aka not TAR12 Italy because that was amazing <3) we have had such AMAZING (sarcasm) tasks such as:
-Playing with toy cars :res:
-Cleaning a statue :res:
-Playing with helicopters for an FF :res:
-Going Go-Karting :res:
-Rappelling in a Parking Lot :res:
-Playing with swords :res:

Even TAR25, while a good season, was pretty dull in its Italy leg.

Hoping for the best this season but meh @ Italy. The TAR4 Milan premiere was godawful, hopefully this leg can be culturally relevant and at least fun to watch!

Sad but true. Remember in season 27 they promoted Rotterdam as a new destination. Which isn't that special for the fact the Netherlands is a small country.

Not holding my breath for new countries once they get to Asia, because that's where they pretty much phone it in for routes now :( (China, India, Indonesia, Japan. Take your pick)

South Korea would be frickin amazing and it's on my Asian wishlist, but having them race in South Korea for the penultimate leg/with 4 teams remaining for the 3rd time out of 3 wouldn't be as exciting.. and even underwhelming.

I think the route is somehow slightly patterned from TAR Israel. The production might have taken inspiration from them. They both visited Italy (although different Italian locations) and Zanzibar. What I'm getting excited about is when they touch Asia that opens up a lot of new (Maldives, Qatar, Laos, Myanmar) and undervisited  (South Korea, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam) countries and hoping for legs in Australia/New Zealand and a new Pacific Island nation such as Fiji or Vanuatu. Oceania is a must and there's so much to do down there

Lmao so you all basically think they should skip Asia or what??
Like, why are Vietnam, Philippines and Singapore not great race locations?

I know we all wish for new or undervisited countries, and so do I really, but we just have to understand that it's not possible sometimes or it's not feasible in terms of convenience.

There has been always at least 1 'tropical asia' leg every season since season 19 except 20 and 27

19 : Indo x2, Thailand x2
21 : Indo x2
22 : Indo, Vietnam
23 : Indo x2
24 : Malaysia 1
25 : Philippines x2
26 : Thailand x2
28 : Indo x2

If they want to have this kind of the leg this season
The possible choices should be either Vietnam or Cambodia

I mean there are lots of tasks that are much better executed for entertainment and drama purposes when there are more teams.  The various Switchbacks are perfect examples of that.
But also a country like the Philippines can yield crazy or chaotic Legs with more teams, as international TARs have shown already.

There's just different energies depending on the number of teams racing. And having countries like the Philippines or South Korea host earlier Legs instead of the usual late/penultimate Leg will also allow for something new and fresh and present a different look as well.

However, a moving pit stop this season sounds cool. :yess: I'm hoping for a new country soon.

If they are going to Greece then,  :conf: :hearts:  :cheer:. It absolutely needs a proper a visit, Season 9's Greece visit was terrible in my opinion. A visit to former Yugoslav countries and Balkan countries are welcome as well as they open up to not yet visited countries and undervisited countries.

Vietnam has such a beautiful and varied culture, hopefully it'd be easy for them to come up with non-offensive tasks.

The Race has been to Vietnam several times, including Hanoi, Hue, HCMC/Saigon and coastal areas/islands o multiple occasions. Myanmar, now that the Nobel Peace Prize winnder Aung San Suu Kyi and her political party have won a free election and is in charge of its government, would be a wonderful destination. (And its on the Anthony Bourdain list of Parts Unknown places visited.)

I wouldn't expect a Philippines leg but if there is one, they must try a new province like Boracay :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess:

I'd rather they don't, Boracay has really decayed over the past few years due to over-commercialisation :(

The Greek leg makes it to the period after dusk. :yess: I just love seeing teams race in the dark, especially when it's a night leg or when teams are racing for last.

Meanwhile, I hope Team 11 making to the pit stop at dark doesn't mean they are last. They're one of the last few teams I'm rooting for. :lol: Why are all my favorites (or pre-faves in this case) always gone before the final leg? :iok

South Korea is most likely the choice for penultimate leg then  :ascared

Nothing about 22 Vietnam was awful. It was blown out way out of proportion and it robbed us of our well-deserved Emmy for 22 Vietnam which was arguably the best leg of the season.

I still remember the idiotic video from Fox News... they legitimately called the Double U-Turn "offensive" because "they had to run around the crashed airplane site".

Yeah. That sucked too. It was no different than showing another country's culture.

I remember TAR3 had Ian being worried about Vietnam since he was a veteran, but during the legs, he found it an eye-opening experience and being surprised by how friendly the locals were and enjoyed it.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the TAR22 Roadblock. Zero percent.

I did think that Hanoi leg had weird choices like the political posters and the downed WWII bomber, but I never found it offensive to the point FOX media had to make an anti-American slew about it. Sometimes that network brainwashes people to think every other country except The United States is horrible. But after that and stunt casting lately, the next seasons will really have to buckle down and show viewers what potential the Race has like in the later classics (9-17).

Hoping it will be this season even if the team dynamics for this one don't seem all too promising.

If its a Korean night leg like how TAR12 did Taiwan then it would be amazing.

Seriously... the bitching about when a leg takes place is getting slightly annoying.

Ikr... To suggest a country would be better earlier is imo dumb. The Phillippines for ex. Was bad in 25 and likely would be worse at the beginning of the race too.

I liked Leg 11 enough (Amaya really dying in the leg + the chaoticness of it was fun), but I agree that the first Philippine leg was bad on 25. Had there been more teams in it, I could easily see the episode being rushed.

In actuality, it is actually sometimes better to have less teams, to better appreciate tasks and the leg. Take a look at TAR23 Indonesia, it is certainly better than all the early-Race Indonesia legs before it.

You're all assuming Legs can just be transplanted anywhere on the Race.  Of course there are certain tasks that work better with more or less teams.  That's the point.  There are things that can be done with more teams or less teams and tasks that can't or wouldn't work with more or less teams.

For example, the pole jumping in season 12 works with more teams while it fails to deliver in season 21 with less teams

There's just a notion some of us share that it's more exciting to watch legs with more teams. And having such interesting countries as South Korea visited, we want those legs to have more teams racing :tup:

And for me diversity is key, I personally want the same country to be visited at different portions of the race.

Korea penultimate Leg again?!  (:;) And only 1 Leg too, if so.   Korea is ripe for 2 early Legs.  A Seoul/K-pop/drama Leg and a rural or southern Leg.  :gaah:

Agree to these! The Philippines suffers the same issue. I'd rather watch legs with more teams racing, than legs with fewer teams and (usually) smaller excitement. It was what the classic TAR seasons lacked.

I would've complained about a Korean leg with 4 teams, but Korea hasn't been visited for a dozen seasons. Still, 4 teams racing (again) in Korea seems really annoying. I think having a leg in Korea with 4 teams is both good and bad for me in that sense. I can't say I'm neutral to this news, but it's like being excited and disappointed at the same time. :umn:

No new countries this season after 4 seasons of having at least 1. :(
However, that's okay, because the route is awesome! :conf:
Panama: Only visited during TAR19 F4 and Family Edition, also no record of a leg with all 11 teams! :wohoo:
Brazil: A transition from Central America is great, and South America starting with 10 teams is unusually exciting! :yess:
Tanzania It hasn't been visited in a while, and after watching TAR11 not-so-long ago, it'd be fun to see Tanzania again! :hrt:
Norway: The spoiler pictures are already  :colors , and Scandinavian legs are usually nice!
Italy: It may have been visited quite often, but legs involving bodies of water are also fun to watch! :trampb:
Greece: With so much culture and only a TAR9 visit, I'm really glad to see this country in the spoiler threads! :bunny

Vietnam: Not an overused Southeast Asian country at the very least. :hoot:
Korea: Despite it being visited in the F4 again, I'm glad its back! :hearts: Next time, I hope they return with all 11 teams.

Hopefully we didn't lose track of these final four teams completely. I am almost certain the penultimate leg might have concluded already. Maybe we would get the home base sighting and determine where teams could have went from that.

I'm not going to cheer for teams going to Seoul unless there is confirmation. Lots of connection flights to consider for Incheon Int'l Airport too. They even could have flown to Busan, Jeju, or even Vladivostok, Russia for all we know right now.

Maybe we can track Phil instead? :lol:

It's interesting how the top 2 in Leg 9 did not make the final 3.

Pretty sure Team 11 was out on Leg 8.
One of Team 3,4 or 8 finished last on Leg 9. Leg 9 was a non-elim bc all these teams were spotted later.
Leg 10/11 were elim legs.
  No Redmond/male team in the finals  :'(

Well, despite them ending the streak of 4 seasons with new countries following 4 seasons with none (probably! The last one remains unconfirmed), this is a pretty good route. We got a few countries well overdue for a revisit (i.e. Greece!!!)

Now the agonizing wait to find out when...or even if, heaven forbid...CBS decides to air it.

According to Kris & Jon's post-show stuff, it wasn't as close as the editing made it seem. But I digress.

Hoping this finale is decent at least, if there's anything current TAR has done right, it's finales. (25-27 have good finales, 28, while meh and linear, was still at least better than 16/18-19 and 22-24).

I don't know if I'd call it "getting it right". The original Chicago finale was back in the single-season days when they used to have a nearby intermediate destination in the final leg and not go to the final city until the very end (usually the non-contiguous states but that's how we also got the only visits to Canada, Puerto Rico and Jamaica).

I really miss when they did that.

Although this route isn't S28, and there aren't new countries is still love it!

• Panama 🇵🇦 — Super Exited, although I'd prefer Costa Rica  :escape, I'm hoping only a small bits in PanCity and that most of the leg is in Gamboa.

• Brazil 🇧🇷 — Eh… it's okay, I mean we haven't had São Paulo since S9 but I feel Brazil is kinda meh, we've had SA since S26 it needed a break  :funny:.

• Tanzania 🇹🇿 — YEEESSSSS! So exited about this, Hopefully Stone Town is properly displayed this visit  :luvya:, it looks beautiful, Hopefully Dar Es Salaam will bring us a crazy African chaotic leg.  :grins:.

• Norway 🇳🇴 — SCANDINAVIA! Can't wait for Ålesund to see what it brings! I've looked it up and it really does look amazing!

• Italy 🇮🇹 — I'm so exited! I know Italy is a tad overused but Lake Como & Venice! They're two of the most beautiful places in Italy, I can't wait!

• Greece 🇬🇷 — OMMMMGGGGG YESSSSSS!!!! We haven't seen Greece in 20 seasons, this is greatly needed  :funny:. The possibility of Delphi  :hearts:.

• Vietnam 🇻🇳 — For the Ninh Binh leg  :hearts: :luvya:, it looks stunning I'd say more that Ha Long! Hanoi is kinda meh since they visited it in S22 I would of rather another leg in Greece tbh, Santorini maybe  :<3.

• South Korea 🇰🇷 — Although it's our 3rd big Asian City penultimate leg in a row, I'm still exited. I'm just hoping for a task revolving around the K-Pop industry! Doing K-Pop dances  :funny:, but I want a futuristic detour and traditional roadblock, like S24 leg 4 except 1200000X better  :funny:.

• Chicago 🇺🇸 — If you look at my Wishlists for S26+ they all end in Chicago  :funny:. I'm EXTACTIC that they are visiting here, give the Windy City some views  :conf:.

In Love, but wish a new county was thrown in, For S30 (If it's there) visit Mandalay & Bagan, Burma KTHXBYE.

Panama
- I have positive feeling on this leg with the previous legs yield pretty good outcome (Paolo win/Godlewski being saved on NEL, and of course the taxi drivers helping each other giving the TAR19 F3 teams celebration) regardless of leg structure.


Brazil
- While I'm not a fan they visit Brazil again (Leg in Amazon or Brasilla please), but I'm OK they visit Sao Paulo since the city was only featured back on 9.


Tanzania
- Again not a fan Tanzania being visited for 4th time (South Africa, Ethiopia, or even Djibouti), but I'm looking forward for the Dar Es Salaam leg + a Zanzibar leg minus the 11-esque production/bunching issue.


Norway
- Nordic countries <333 Norway again </3 (Finland or Iceland please) but at least it was a new location so gj.


Italy
- Again </3 but new location Lake Como, and Milan/Venice getting second visit after only featured back on 4.


Greece
- YES YES YES it finally get second visit after being absent for 20 seasons. <3


Vietnam
- I'm meh Hanoi being visited again, but the past Hanoi leg was pretty good with the chaotic factor so can't complain too much.
- New non-urban location Ninh Binh being featured, so props for that.


South Korea
- While I'm not happy South Korea being visited on 4 teams again for third straight time, but then this is the only third South Korea visit we get from this US version for East Asia visit instead of China & Japan again. Hoping there's some K-Pop/Drama theme task featured this time, and production forced the teams using the bus and subway to moved around Seoul.


Chicago
- FINALLY get featured since 6 but this time with FULLY FEATURED Chicago final leg??? YES <333333

Cast- so far its realtors and heroes (army+ firefighter) and misc
Maybe the rest will make it fantastic
New places- explains why we got no new countries

Am I the only one who likes the Brazil visit this season? (pre-race at least) :peek I didn't feel TAR visit Brazil during TAR27, because that leg was disappointing from leg design to editing.

You aren't alone. Brazil is one of my favorite South American countries. It's surprising because they went there despite the Zika virus risk.

I love the route but I wish Greece had double legs since the last visit, Season 9 was terrible and Greece needs to be explore more rather than Italy which is overused, although the places visited in Italy are awesome, Venice and Lake Como, I like it. Happy for Vietnam but they could have visited another area rather than Hanoi because we've been there fairly recently (Season 22) but still it's fine with me. Good job for the production for pulling off an awesome route.

With the Rio Olympics coming around the corner, that is so many more foreign people to worry about  possibly catching Zika than we can imagine. The virus scare is what I am most anxious about with the upcoming festivities.

As much fun as I did getting to watch the roadblock and the Pit Stop things live in Sao Paulo, kinda wished they tried another city. The country is so big and it's barely featured, even Survivor did Tocantins a few seasons ago. Yes, last visit to the city was back in TAR9, but still, not that much of an unique city. The leg design was done towards efficiency, which makes the PIt Stop a bit disappointing, sending them to such a small park (with very straight forward directions to reach the mat spot), instead of making them head to Ibirapuera park (where it's possible to get lost) or even the main campus for the University of Sao Paulo, which a lot people treat like a park and would have been interesting in terms of direction.

A place they must feature again is definitely the Iguaçu Falls which were only briefly shown back in TAR2, they could even do the border hopping thing like done in TAR27 for the Zimbabwe/Zambia leg, as only the Brazil side was featured back then, but they could also do the Argentinian and Paraguayan sides, and feature 3 countries really easily.

People always mention Brasilia, Manaus or Salvador which were all used at some point during TAR:LatAm. I'd add Natal (which is nearby Barreira do Inferno Launch Center which would be cool place to visit and places related to Prof. Nicolelis for the  IINN-ELS), São Luis (which would get them close to the gorgeous sights from Lençóis Maranhenses National Park) or Curitiba (when locals compare Brazilian cities to what would be an US close equivalent, Sao Paulo is compared to NYC, Rio to LA, Curitiba would be the one some would compare to Chicago).

Regarding the Zika outbreak, not as dire as media outlets let you believe it is. Things are better as you head South. One can barely worry about that in metropolitan areas, almost forgotten by the news, cause we have worse things to worry about.

Wow, I love that idea!
It would be so great to have the leg start in Brazil, have a task (ARI?) there, then hop to the Argentinian side for the roadblock and finally do a detour and have a pitstop in Paraguay. :colors
Or, have a leg in Brazil + Argentina, make it a KOR and have the next leg in Argentina + Paraguay!

I like this idea very much! They just need to pull off an awesome leg design, proper/culturally relevant tasks and great editing. This gives us other options as well such as Czech Republic-Slovakia or Qatar-Bahrain combo. They did before since S.25 with Sweden & Denmark, S.26 with France & Monaco, S. 27 with Zambia & Zimbabwe and S.28 with Switzerland & France. Other than that, I'm hoping they could bring back double-length legs.

I bet if one of the newer shows are cancelled, then CBS will replace their slot with TAR29. Remember that it is not the first time they moved the schedule up for TAR (season 12 after Viva Laughlin was eliminated). Otherwise, the season will air sometime in mid-February like usual.

TAR 29 WILL air. It is just a question of when. I am hearing very good things about it.

Hopefully we can get a fall slot if something else is cancelled early.  Or start late Nov to mid Dec after some first run has completed its eps.

Worst case we will be on in "mid season" Jan/Feb.

Pray for an Emmy, that might help for an earlier slot

What makes you say that? From what we know of spoilers, the route and the tasks look VERY good. We are still learning about the cast, but they seem extremely interesting.

I can never judge from spoilers alone, the interaction between racers is a huge part of what makes a season special.. for me anyway. But based on what we have so far, I am very optimistic that this could not only be good, but VERY good.  Interested to hear why you think differently at this early stage.

I wonder what will replace the relationship or Twitter tag title underneath their team name since they are complete strangers... is it going to be just nothing?

It's going to be difficult to establish a good "relationship" title if there is a team that has similarly skilled occupations, and then there is at least that one team with a "rock climber/pharmaceutical sales rep" type of situation. :lol: Now I am thinking the pairs may have settled on nicknames since that seems more uniform and less of a long stretch, so maybe Bourkie could have a lead on this one. Hopefully if that does occur, then they can be better thought up of than production-given ones in the past AKA "The Legal Team", "The Blonde Date", "Rx for Love", and "The Dating Couple".

This season lost me already when within the first 20 SECONDS of the premiere, you attack the audience with a clip of Dave & Connor.

Or maybe it's their way of saying "Remember Dave & Connor? Yeah, at least none of these strangers will ever be as bad as them."  :haha

Like...maybe it's because I haven't had the joy of US TAR in my life in a year but this cast is great? I know the concept of 22 singles isn't the best in a show about relationships but it seems like they cast 22 ridiculous people and were content with seeing how the race plays out which isn't awful IMO.

Vanck's intro was not a good look but I'm choosing to believe he's as in on the joke as the editors were and thus I'm not too disturbed by it (for now).

"I blame the edit" is something very commonly seen and my argument still stands that you wouldn't be blaming anything if you didn't do anything to have that specific content shown in the first place.

Their cancer pity party was the least of the reasons why they were a horrible team. I think their hateful and hypocritical attitudes during TAR24 (which really shouldn't exist in the first place) are more horrible and deserving of criticism. Among many other things.

And I'll bring this topic back on track while still making my point. It is very interesting to include them out of any other team when they really were universally disliked or hated by both diehard, message board visiting fans and the Facebook casuals. Bopper and Mark? Easy choice. Margie & Luke? Can be argued for. Dave & Connor? I'd actually be less annoyed if it were the Cowboys because at least we know Bertram and Co or CBS love them with all their hearts, a sentiment shared by the casuals who want to see them Race until they win.

Basically, I'm bitching about how out of touch Bertram and Co and CBS apparently are with the audience to feel the need to include a widely disliked team as one of the very first things you see on a do or die, make or break season premiere. So it is very easy to see why TAR is in the position it is in right now.

Bitching about the TAR29 premiere episode in the "TAR 29 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread **SPOILERS** Read Post #1!" thread is off topic?

"Teams of 2 have raced almost a million miles around the world testing their relationships to the limit..."

They're the only team that's said "I Love You" ever on the Race? Or even the last 5 seasons?
My point, which is on topic and which I already posted in my previous comment is that if Bertram and Co. think Dave & Connor are some shining example of The Amazing Race... no, not even that.  But an example of "Testing their relationships to the limit" or even just a random team to endear to the audience, then it is very easy to see why TAR has been on a steep decline and is now on the verge of cancellation in the United States.

I don't know why you keep bringing up them being "hired" as "cancer survivors" like they can't be that and a horrible team at the same time undeserving of being featured on the season that can make or break a 16 year old franchise.

If you have CBS All Access USE IT and watch/rewatch!
ALL: BE POSITIVE on FB! Say how happy you are TAR is back. Comment on something you LIKED.
Forget the armchair criticisms and TAR hate for awhile.
TWEET LIVE during and immediately after. USE #TAR29 and #Amazing Race hashtags.
Use the Twitter search "amazing race 29" and "amazing race" and "TAR 29"and RETWEET and LIKE every positive tweet you find. Retweet @PhilKeoghan as well.

LET'S GET TAR TRENDING.

Mostly, ENJOY. Be happy. Concentrate on the positives. MAKE TAR FUN!!

After reading through each contestant's bio in the Contestants Thread, I'm expecting most of the racers to react excitedly when they get to the leg in Italy. It seems to be a very common country they want to visit.

Also, what I like about this season, despite there being a lot of police or army-related people, is that this season seems to be filled with ordinary people. At least that's how I see it. We don't have extremely famous people this time around.

No, just that since this was a blind U-turn it did not count. That is they can still use one non-blind U-turn. The easiest way to think about it is that they only have one courtesy-of photo so they can only use that once.

I think that the Canadian U-turn boxes had a small box on the front where teams could find courtesy-of photos.

I also think there was an old version where one team had lost their photo so they could not use the U-turn.

Well, teams have not been required to carry their own courtesy-of photos anymore since season 19
In season 19 - 22, they use electronic tablet for u-turn
In season 23 - 28, the photos are provided right at the u-turn

But in season 22, Joey and Maghan did eligible to use the u-turn in leg 10 despite having used a blind one in leg 5

If I were TAR though, I'd change the rules, so I'm not sure how updated we are with the U-turn rules since it has not been mentioned by teams who used the Blind U-turn whether they can or can not use the U-turn again. ???

One of my main gripes so far is the lack of suspenseful endings.  It's not really due to lazy editing, but instead due to the racers themselves.

Leg 1: Kevin & Jenn and Liz & Michael getting so lost that the only hint of suspense is watching Kevin & Jenn waiting out a penalty. Boring!
Leg 2: Jessie & Francesca being inexplicably so far behind (could you say Shamir's frustration at the agency was justified?)
Leg 3: The closest race to the finish we've had so far.  But it was kind of obvious that the dispute with Seth & Olive's currency didn't take less than a minute.
Leg 4: Shamir & Sara being the only team not on the ferry with the other teams.  Almost like the Models from last season.
Leg 5: I'll admit this was pretty close, considering we had 4 teams neck-and-neck at the Detour before the Pit Stop.  But you just knew that Liz & Michael weren't gonna make it after they showed teams climbing the steps already...

It's a big shame because there's a lot of character in this cast.  They're so stressed out from the stranger aspect that I would LOVE to see them get caught in some footraces!

Who's writing the spiels? They need to stop with the overly-simplistic one-line descriptions of 'Previously on'!

(example)
"Previously on the Amazing Race..."
"Teams flew to China!"
"Yolanda got stuck"
"while Blight got some luck"
"Kevin made good deals"
"and Draco got eliminated"

I mean like wth??? It is super lazy haha. Compare this to the amazingly detailed (but still short liners) spiels of old TAR

Also: where is the introduction to the city part? The one describing the city where they start the leg? (example) "This is Singapore. What once was a tiny fishing village, this nation evolved into blah blah blah". It was very cool! Now they got lazy! -_-

But yeah I am surprisingly warm about this season. I like it so far haha. Go Team Fun!

The legs 1-4 being elimination legs I think is too much, eliminating 1 team each leg. If there was a NEL earlier, it would developed getting to know some teams. I just wished that Leg 2 was a NEL and it would have saved Franny & Jessie.

Tar 21 is the last time we have strict 4 eliminations for leg 1-4
The one before TAR21 would be TAR14

I was bored by the team's dynamics and there seemed to be nobody to actively root for. I missed those days when I could depend my hopes on all-female teams or old couples surviving or bottom godding each leg....

I've been a Long time fan since I was ten and I gotta say... Survivor managed to intrigue and garner back my attention after Survivor Cambodia with Game Changers...

Now I need TAR to bring back the olden days TAR, where flight drama was constant, getting lost on taxis were frustrating and hilarious, tasks were lame but totally challenging/funny - eating caviar/meat/cheese rolling/hay bales etc. Nowadays, more of the tasks seemed to be extremely non-memorable (repetitive) and most part of the race seemed to be getting from one point to another, complete a task, get to another point, complete a task, pit stop. Especially with this season where the teams had no prior relationship, their drama with each other are always repetitive, similar, non-changing and got tiring after awhile.

When TAR was about to get cancelled on Season 4, they revamped the route, introduced the Yield, and reduced the FF etc.

I wish that they can look into the teams dynamics (stop casting just young and energetic teams or models or social media stars etc.) and most importantly, plan a route which allows for flight drama to occur. I know sometimes when one team is left behind the result becomes melodramatic, but that's just the last 5-10 mins?

And the tasks! Not some window cleaning! Include some local flavour. Especially those which requires the racers to dress up in hedious outfits to perform a task etc  :funny:

And the lack of luck based tasks... not too many of them!! But I love them! Fun luck based tasks!

I really like seeing flight drama too, but I think it was reduced so that they wouldn't have a problem like TAR11, wherein some teams already started the next leg while other teams have not even finished the previous leg. ??? Letting Phil wait for 19 hours in the cold does not sound good (although from a viewers perspective, I wish he'd break the record in the future. :funny: )

sigh did it but let's hope it works.

i know this is totally off topic but i really think the only way to excite old viewers like me is to just do an all-stars season. the last one was three years ago? survivor has old teams coming back from time to time. maybe this could work?

idc, maybe pair a past racer with a fan, fans vs favourites etc. i don't care.. i know people always talk about how we should stop bringing back teams and just discover regular people but come on, you know for Survivor, the best seasons are usually those with full/partial cast of returning players.

tbh, TAR 11, 18 and 24 wasn't that bad. there were loads of drama etc.. just that i don't know who's in-charge of the casting, but they need to start asking the right teams to be back. sorry but, nobody wants to see Jessica and John as much as people who wants to see, let's say, Charla and Mirna? Or Sheri and Cole in the recent season? idk.

k bye.

I get annoyed seeing more than 1 team on the mat when it wasn't THAT close between them (as we later see from the departure times).

But maybe it's just Phil wanting to get to know the racers better and ask them more questions?

Nonetheless, it doesn't bring anything positive to the show.

What I dislike about this season is that since teams are strangers they're probably holding back and not being themselves with their partners, this could be good for competition purposes but in the end they won't experience the relationship growth most past teams had. I liked the best seeing teams grow, like Ron learning to respect Christina, Ken & Tina rekindling their relationship, and even the campy proposals at the mat

Idk, but somehow i see a character development and grow while being with stranger during the race...

Recent example is Vanck and Ashton, despite their communication breakdown and very different personalities, they respected each other, and prove they are capable together, even though they are eliminated early... Yeah they are eventually not dating

Stacking cup like really, it can be done anywhere in the world...

Night legs are usually allowed with a bit more leeway in regards to cultural tasks (although one of my favorite night legs ever, TAR5 Russia was cultural but that's another story), and I'm personally excited to see the cups and the game.

South Korea is home to the Olympics of online gaming, so video games is part of its modern culture. Competitive professional video gamers are usually South Korean, if not Japanese. They compete for big amounts of prize money just to play professionally!

Stacking cups? ??? We'll see? It doesn't look that bad for me.

Yay: I love how we have a video game themed leg! :hoot: :hrt: :yess:
Nay: Why is SoKor F4 again? :( Philippines is here to commiserate. Seriously TAR? These 2 countries (and probably some others too) need something better than F4 legs. I'd be so glad to see SoKor and the Philippines get a future leg each with all the teams still racing. :hoot:

This, took the words out of my mouth. I mean, the leg could still be somewhat interesting. I don't know, maybe because I'm a 'gamer' I see this leg as being easy. I mean, if they go against e-sports like players in the video game, that WOULD be interesting to watch, mostly because of how well they've mastered the game.

As for cup stacking...my 5th grade gym class has us do it and everyone seemed fine doing it. Maybe timing is the factor that frustrated the players?

We've just had a very cultural leg in Greece, two legs with beautiful scenery and traditions in Vietnam, so why not have a heavily modern leg in South Korea?

Computer games have never been featured on TAR, so it's awesome that they've decided to do it! And speed stacking is super fun, so if there is an extreme time limit for that task, it will be great to watch.

PC bangs are definitely hugely popular and having them visit one on a night Leg in Seoul definitely makes absolute sense. Having a technology-type task in Seoul is also a no-brainer.

It's just, after all this time and very possibly the last time TARUS visits Korea, maybe it would've been better to have 2 contrasting Legs. There's certainly a huge variety of things to do in Korea even more than other oft-repeated countries TAR's visited even just since TAR17. But oh well.

And this season really surprises me! Starting from the Arahova/Athens leg, everything is very reminiscent of the old TAR that I used to love!

Oh man, looks like I want to visit Ninh Binh next year! :tup:

I have really no idea on guessing who win this season because LoLo aside every remaining team seems have chance to win this. Tara & Joey and Matt & Redmond would be normal standard TAR winner, but we can't ignore Brooke & Scott as well because we have history of Flo & Zach and especially last season Dana & Matt as a TAR winner.

The only negative for me that I could see for the South Korean leg is the stacking cups Roadblock. Why can't they focus more on the cultural side, something relevant, maybe sing some K-Pop :funny: But the Street Fighter challenge is fresh, I expected that to come out of a Japanese leg, but I'm a happy camper, it's a tick off my wishlist.

There seems to be some kind of K-pop-ish task in Gangnam, based on the commercial. So there's at least that.

Gangnam...hopefully any song but that  :funny:

Though it is funny to picture teams doing that cowboy thing the dance involves

As long as they're not yet eliminated, London & Logan still have a chance to win. Some teams lay low for the whole race then give it their all on the final leg to win. :tup:

I don't think they mean they're out of it because of their performance; you're right in that some teams have had great final legs after a whole race of mediocrity (Freddy & Kendra, Josh & Brent, Amy & Maya, etc.). Given how TAR finales are typically set up (vaguely physical and/or flashy RB, vaguely cultural ARI, memory task, Pit Stop) L&L have a great shot, especially if Logan does the physical task and gets enough of a lead like last season's finale.

The issue is they have no story, be it them overcoming something or growing as people or becoming a stronger couple or anything. There's a weak suggestion of one in them talking about how they're a great, low drama pairing but like...Matt & Redmond and Tara & Joey do that better. Scott & Brooke have a different winner's path largely due to circumstance, but it's similar to how Flo & Zach or Matt & Dana were presented. Even other invisible winners (TK & Rachel, Kisha & Jen) had something to them throughout the season.

Agreed. I'd be more surprised with a LoLo win that a ScoBrook win.

Actually. I will one of the fans who isn't suprised if Lolo win TAR 29...

Recent TAR showed underedited teams that somehow won TAR (Kelsey and Joey on S27 and Dana and  Matt S28) ... They recently tries to keep TAR become unpredictable by showing more edit for Teams that might not win TAR... and Lolo is the team who get under edited team which only one (or two maybe) focused on them....

But it's just a (really) pure (and stupid) speculation so i'd like to wait and see how thing's going in the season finale....

2 consecutive legs without a Detour. Can't see the finale having one, either, they haven't done that since the old days of TAR.

Budget is showing a little there :P

If that's the case, I think it might become a new record for TAR. ???

We had so many food-related tasks this season! :lol:

First, the shopping roadblock in Zanzibar. Then, Liz & Mike's speedbump in Greece, followed by kimchi ARI in South Korea. Now the finale also has hot dogs. :lol:

And there were also quite a few tasks related to climbing (Becca's forte).

It may be budget-related, but it definitely gives me an old TAR feel, IDK why. Not complaining either since both legs were still amazing on their own even without a Detour.

That would be because the Chicago leg was like the second half of all finale legs pre-12, in wh¡ch teams did the major asks in another location, had a mid-leg flight and did nothing but  scavenger hunt type tasks in the last destination

I don't think a leg has to have official detour or roadblock to be a leg
I think the Chicago did have major tasks like an ordinary leg even though it doesn't have an official detour or roadblock (speedway task + memory task)

The racing task was like a double raodblock in itself.
Teams said it only took them 5-15 minutes to complete the speed stacking in Korea, and the two-sided racing task was definitely at least that.

Ashton came off as being really rude towards Vanck. I wish I could see moments where Vanck would have a go at Ashton, if there were any.

Maybe Vanck is the one that needs a lesson on kindness

Who else found it hard to like Ashton Theiss and why?

I agree that SOMETIMES Ashton seems a little like a jerk, but most of the time, she was like any other racer on the series (expect Brooke)
