Wikipedia is saying something about an unaired Yield in Abu Dhabi. What's more, it was used? Anything to back this up?

Calvin Chan & Zhou Weitong used it on Jin Dachuan & Liuchang. Not sure why it wasn't aired.

Zhou Weitong's bad temper shown in EP5 irritated a lot of viewers. Oven 10 thousand critical comments were spawned on Zhou's Weibo, forcing her to disable the function of commenting from Weibo users when browsing her site. I'm guessing the crew were afraid that such application of Yield by Zhou may raise more controversy that they decided not to air this clip.

Chinese 'Amazing Race' calls off Israel shoot



Tourism Ministry strike forces Chinese production of successful reality game show to reconsider plan to film a leg of competition in Holy Land.

Ran Boker

Published:  11.27.14, 22:18 / Israel Culture 
 
  The Chinese production of reality television game show "The Amazing Race" will likely be forced to cancel its plans to film a leg of the competition in Israel next month due to a workers strike at the Tourism Ministry, Ynet has learned.

 
Tourism Ministry officials have expressed their disappointment over the cancellation plans after the ministry has invested many efforts in increasing the exposure to Israel in China.

 

About four years ago, the Australian version of "The Amazing Race" broadcast two episodes shot in Israel. The show's contestants visited Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and Masada, and their tasks included playing matkot (a popular paddle ball game) and interpreting a scroll written in Hebrew.
 
(go to link to see video)
 

 "The Amazing Race" is a successful reality format worldwide in which teams of two people race against other teams while moving from country to country around the globe. The team that arrives first in the final leg receives the grand prize.

 
The fourth season of the Israeli version of the show began last Saturday on Channel 2. It is broadcast by the Reshet television network and has particularly high ratings.

The Tourism Ministry offered the following response: "The Chinese production of 'The Amazing Race' expressed its desire to film in Israel in the beginning of December. The Ministry is working to get organized in time and cater to the production's complex demands.

 
"We have only a week and a half to prepare the logistics for five teams and dozens of participants, alongside the uncertainty regarding accommodation possibilities in light of the Tourism Ministry workers' strike."

Ooo! It'd be great for another TAR to go to Israel!  I guess the Asian TARs will be more likely to do Israeli Legs than either TARUS or #RaceCDA.

I guess the crew didn't realize Bai & Guan's team--the team that has most fans--would be eliminated so early. They need those fans for the ratings.

There's something needed to clarify: SAVE is not THE SAVE.

THE SAVE is a new twist introduced in the 25th season of American edition to prevent a team from elimination in a pre-determined elimination leg.

SAVE is a new twist introduced in the first season of Shenzhen's edition to resuscitate a team, like the outcast twist in the 7th American season of Survivor.

I'm noticing that this show is using different Chinese names for tasks (Detour, Roadblock, etc...) than in China Rush. I need these names typed out for me, if at all possible. The Chinese Wikipedia is still using the China Rush names, so no help there.

The race course map that showed up in this episode seemed to depict some tall white building after the Detour and before the fish market. Was some location or task edited out, perhaps?

 :)  Just for completeness, recently ran across this TAR China (Season 1) press release from 2014.  Nice to see some behind the scenes crew action from the race.  Also says a lot about product placement.   :funny:

So, I just got done re-watching the whitewater rafting task in the Abu Dhabi episode, and I'm shocked I didn't comment on it in this thread before.

No ifs ands or buts about it, this was a STUPID idea by producers. This ranks up there as one of the most unsafe tasks TAR has ever done before. For those of you who don't know, imagine the TAR23 task where they had to ride down the rafting course and grab three flags. It's the same here, except the executives apparently decided this wasn't interesting enough. So, to make it more challenging, they raised the flags up so that no contestant would be able to grab them without jumping. Yeah. Jumping in a moving white-water raft.

Nearly every single contestant walked away from the task with an injury of some sort. Yiru got a gash on his face, Xiaopeng got tons of abrasions on his arms and legs as well as an excess of water in his ears. Weitong got trapped underwater briefly, and she was very upset once she reached shore. She was loudly yelling at production and fellow contestants that she nearly lost her life just for a game, and I sympathize with her. You can see that many of the other teams were quite upset at what they had to go through.

Of course, let's not forget that this task took a team out of the race due to injury. Yueliang ("Izabella") slipped off of her raft and got dragged under it by the pull of the water. As she described on-air, the bone in her lower leg actually popped out and then back into its socket. She nearly dislocated her tibia, and her father was too concerned to let her continue.

This still stands out to me as one of the hardest things on TAR to watch. It's really dangerous and a bad idea, and I'm surprised no-one on the crew spoke up and said they should probably make things a little bit safer for the contestants. Does anyone agree?

This sounds terrible. Where is the safety of The Amazing Race? Clearly, these Chinese version doesn't have safety rules, like the US version!

I finished watching TAR China 1 a few months ago. I have the exact same sentiment about the insane rafting task in the UAE. I watched that episode with knowledge of Godfrey Gao's death in another Chinese TV show, Chase Me, in Nov 2019.

The TAR producers were lucky that everyone survived that challenge.


---

Anyway my fave team that season was Li Xiaopeng and Li Anqi. I think they were one of only two teams to have finished in the top 3 in every leg they finished, with an average placement of 1.73 overall. Interestingly, Li Xiaopeng also starred in that ill-fated show Chase Me, but he appeared on a different episode.
