this is the lamest leg i have ever seen. everything is so wrong - bad editing, lousy tasks, everything!!
During the first challenge, when teams had to pick a cardboard compass with a specific reading out of hundreds, Keiji revealed that they “made a mistake where we didn’t read the clue properly”.
They picked out the correct compass on their second try, but after they had moved on to the next location “I realised I still had the wrong compass in my hand,” Keiji recounted.
“The clue said that you had to put it back before you took the next compass,” Rei explained. “We thought we had time to go back and return it (but) the traffic killed us.”
If they could have a do-over, she said, “we would still have made the same decision to put the compass back, because that was the right thing to do. But we would have read the clue”. “Before we joined the race, my sister and I decided that we were going to be honest and play the game fairly,” Keiji added.

The worst double-elimination in TAR history. Words can't express how pissed off I am right now :res:
F*** this season.
It seems like we had a potentially avoided penalty for Rei & Keiji which would explain why they were last :(QuoteDuring the first challenge, when teams had to pick a cardboard compass with a specific reading out of hundreds, Keiji revealed that they made a mistake where we didnt read the clue properly.

I think there has only been one other time when 2 teams were eliminated in the same leg:
Season 19 Leg 2. Ron and Bill and Ethan and Jenna

I hope to never see another start line elimination in TAR as long as I live.

Oh yeah! I forgo about that one! Bilal and Sa'eed were elimanted at the Forbidden City in Beijing and Vipul and Arti were eliminated at the end of the leg.
And i don't understand why deputy minister of Indonesia was there :groan: :groan: :groan:

Part of main sponsor (?)
Btw he was hilarious when he said GO :lol:
Fun fact:
This is the first season that has vietnamese team, yet to be eliminated on the very first task
I
I still haven't watched the episode yet, but after reading the comments here, i agree with most of you. I hate double elimination, especially at the starting line. They prepare everything to be on the show and the producer eliminated them just because 1 simple task?? That's really cruel (:;) (:;) (:;)

Personally, I would preferred the Elimination Point to be further down the leg. Also, I would of like to have NEL on this one.
how much further would you have preferred it to be lol there was only literally three tasks (slt-detour-ari)

I totally agree with you Nyoman. The deputy minister of Indonesia was there, because 5 legs are in Indoensia, because Indoesnia is the show's main sponsor.
I understand that Indonesia is the main sponsor, but "Good luck, travel safe, GO...!!!" is iconic moment said by the host. I can't imagine if this happened in TAR US and somebody else did this, not Phil :meh
Seems like TARA has sold out to their sponsors just like TARLA, expect to see a drop in task design creativity and producers to stop caring about traditions. I kind of expect seeing things like three legs in a row without a Roadblock, a twist like the Double Battle or even a U-Turn before a Detour.
