Can someone explain team which is M/F, M/M, or F/F? I'm unfamiliar with Chinese names.

I don't know what show you guys were watching, I thought this was absolutely spectacular. I mean, when you compare this to shows like TAR Vietnam, TAR Ukraine and even a little bit to TAR Latin America, this stands above them. Good image quality, upbeat and colourful teams, good challenges, and STRUCTURE.

Sure we can see the cameramen, but I don't really care. I think that when the show tries to cut out EVERY image of a cameraman, then we lose too much. We're not kids any more, so we don't need the 'illusion' that cameramen don't exist.

I also loved how they weren't afraid to show off fans of the show and people talking about the fact that they were on the show. It's more realistic and it just made me smile.

Now, on a serious note, I am having way too much trouble telling Luichang and Jin Dachuan apart. The Wiki says that Jin did both Roadblocks, but I'm not so sure about that. Can anyone confirm?

Also, I'm going to be writing extensive wiki things soon, and unfortunately I can't read Chinese websites. If anyone can find the contestants' hometowns and ages, I would be very very grateful!

I appreciate your encouragement to Shenzhen's version. It's just that the fact that China Rush has been a very good example to which Shenzhen's version is not comparable at all frustrates many fans...

As to the info of teams about hometowns and ages, I'd write it down here: (for other info please read my previous post)

Name (Age, Hometown, Province)

TEAM 1: Cherrie YING 应采儿 (31, Taipei, Taiwan) and LIU Yun 刘云 (32, Changsha, Hunan)
TEAM 2: LIU Chang 刘畅 (28, Dongtai, Jiangsu) and JIN Dachuan 金大川 (21, Taian, Shandong)
TEAM 3: BAI Jugang 白举纲 (21, Mianyang, Sichuan) and GUAN Xiaotong 关晓彤 (aka Traey Miley, 17, Beijing)
TEAM 4: CHUNG Shiu-ping 钟秀萍 (Age unknown, Hong Kong) and Wallace CHUNG 钟汉良 (40, Hong Kong)
TEAM 5: Jordan CHAN 陈小春 (47, Hong Kong) and Ekin CHENG 郑伊健 (47, Hong Kong)
TEAM 6: Moon ZHANG 张月亮 (23, Britain) and ZHANG Tielin 张铁林 (57, Tangshan, Hebei)
TEAM 7: Angel LEE 李安琪 (Age unknown, US) and LI Xiaopeng 李小鹏 (33, Changsha, Hunan)

I'm watching EP2 live. I must say this episode is WAY MUCH BETTER than the trainwreck premiere.  :)
At least it turns out to be something that I may deem as a version of TAR--although the pace and rhythm of editing is about half or 2/3 of China Rush... BGM does disappear sometimes but for the most of the time there is.

Ratings/Share for EP1 is #5 on last Friday night.
Running Man is originally a Korean show. Korean-style shows are very popular in China, so it's almost unbeatable.

No.      Show Name             Ratings/Share           Genre/Content
1      Running Man China      1.808/5.95       A relatively comical version of TAR as which you may deem it
2      Day Day Up                  1.281/3.46        A talk show
3      Grade 1                        1.060/4.57       A reality show where celebrities go to a primary school to teach Grade 1 students
4      Celebs come to my house 1.049/4.52  Female celebs go to a village to experience rustic life
5      TAR China                     0.914/3.07        Chinese version of TAR

Thanks for your spoilers, alltsa!

Allan Wu showed up on Shenzhen TV's talk show The Generation Show where he disclosed that he replaced Andy On because Andy's schedule didn't allow him to film anymore.

Hence Allan Wu has become the first host ever to host 3 versions of TAR, a record waiting to be broken :)

The entire route has been divulged on Weibo.com. (The picture looks really official  :res:)

Leg 1: US (NEL)
Leg 2: US
Leg 3: India
Leg 4: India (NEL)
Leg 5: Dubai
Leg 6: Dubai
Leg 7: Greece (NEL)
Leg 8: Greece
Leg 9: Austria (NEL)
Leg 10: Hong Kong & Shenzhen (Finale)

It's very weird to have 3 teams only at the beginning of Leg 9 and to make that leg a NEL. We'll see a speedbump in the finale.  :funny:

ETA: Here's the original picture. I have a feeling that all teams know which leg is an elimination leg and which one is not.  :res:



so wait min austria not go because keeping sayin south korea

Yes. There seems to be a change in the itinerary with Austria replaced.

And there're also some changes in the arrangement of NELs. Details unknown.

The final 3 was determined in Greece.
The final 3 will race in south korea and one team still have to complete the speedbump in the finale.

Also, there was a running task in Greece.

Yes. Last night EP3--the Indian leg--aired.

Allan Wu returns to be the host, he saying "I'm being a relay."

Sometimes he appears to introduce the task. But most of the introduction is done by the dubber, the same voice in the former two episodes.

It might be the fact that I haven't watched China Rush for so long that I'm not accustomed to Allan Wu's affected countenances and ranting his lines.  :groan: His Mandarin, as I feel, has backslided. Awful.  :)
