The Amazing Race International Versions > TAR Australia
Joys and Disappointments of TARAus 2
starrynight:
Good - the cast, and in general the boot order. A reasonable variety of locations as well.
Bad - taxi drivers having too much of an influence. There was some self-driving but there should have been more, and public transport was underused.
WalterC:
Joys:
The route - finally going around the world, literally rather than just figuratively.
Cuba and Canada
The Must-Vote U-Turn
Much better cast
Sarah and her hunners
Joseph & DisGrace getting penalized for removing
Disappointments:
Blind U-Turns (hate these damn things, not that it ended up mattering in this case)
U-Turn placed before going to the airport in Dubai
A half-leg in Paris
3 episodes in a row (too much for me)
Season being blocked and deleted on YouTube

Joys
1. The route - it when to some gorgeous and beautiful places, and finally an international version that visited the Americas
2. The cast - many enjoyable cast members, even those I though I wouldn't like surprised me. Even the villains were likeable
Disappointments
1. TAR Australia blocked on YouTube.
2. Lousy placements on U-turns
3. Too many edited out tasks.

I think i know whyhe dose this . He also dose the narration for Border Saruarty where he has to sound slow and boring.

Just to give my two cents: I know a lot of you seem to hate the whole "you are the nth team to arrive/check in" because it isn't how it's done in the American version, but that's just the point. This isn't the American version, maybe it's just me but I think it's good that we set ourselves apart a bit even if we just do it in the hosting style.
As for the whole China repeat thing, they were in Hong Kong first season and Beijing this season. Maybe I'm undereducated but they're vastly different, in brief, the race could have done worse. It actually kind of annoyed me how after season 1 they claimed they had been to China (i.e. coloured it in on their countries visited map) when they had only been to HK. Cities like Beijing and Guilin also provide the language barrier and culture shock necessary to keep the race exciting in the last few legs, in these respects Canada was a lot similar to Australia and to have Canada as the last country (i.e. skip China), in my opinion, would have weakened the latter half of the race, given it a weaker ending.
But I will agree with you all on too many edited out, omitted tasks ><
