I think they might go for an MKR style intro and do it during the episode.

Grant: Welcome to the very first TAR Australia vs New Zealand!

You are racing for personal pride, but the pride of your country is in your hands.

Will your fellow countryman be your friend or your enemy? You decide!

$250,000 for the winner of course.

10 legs in the race....... (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;)

The Australians are all relying on Tyson.

Elizabeth: I was wondering... Do I actually need to pull?

NZ says that the Aus teams look fitter. "Just sit and drain them out"

Cat: I didn't know the Hulk was coming on TAR

The winners get a head start - the others get a time penalty!

NZ seems to be winning the tug of war! Ashleigh's not very impressed by Tyson.

Jesse: It was like a well-oiled All Black scrum.

The Kiwis have won!

Episode begins with a preview of the season

Teams are travelling to the start line at Australia's spiritual centre, Uluru (Ayers Rock)

Teams are introduced the five Australian teams first followed by the five New Zealand teams - introduced just by name NO video etc

Intro plays

Teams line up at the start line - Australians on the left and New Zealanders on the right

Grant explains the rules - prize money is 250K, teams from the same country can choose to work together or not, race will be like no other, 10 legs, first place in each leg will win prizes like NEVER before

When I give you the signal you can run over to your bags and grab your first clue

Grant raises his arm to signal the start - FAUX START

Grant: "I told you this race will be like no other"

Teams will compete in a tug-of-war - winning country gets a head start, losing team gets a time penalty

Australian team expect to rely on Tyson (the bodybuilder)

Even tug at the start... eventually the NZ group prevails

Team Australia needs to wait until egg timer runs out

Travel to Christchurch, NZ and the cardboard cathedral (erected after the earthquake)

Two flights leaving 1 hour apart - $135 for this leg

Grab a departure time for the next day

That was an awful start, everything about it just felt wrong. I hope the rest of the episode (and season) isn't like this :(

And finally Aston & Christie's intro, and they are a 'perfect storm'.

Aston: I'm mildly telepathic.

Australians are finally off and running!

Elizabeth & Todd are sitting side by side in their car and are introduced first of the Aus teams.

Daniel & Ryan are introduced next and comment that they wouldn't take their mothers on the race.

Ashleigh & Jarrod are shown next. They play the 'traditional roles' in the marriage. Jarrod is v.ery patriotic apparently

Inga & Tiharna are gonna be eating fosh and chops in NZ. Not afraid to use their assets to their advantage!

Sally & Tyson are up next. Sally calls Tyson "puppy". :lol:

Sally: Tyson's a big gentle giant.

John & Murray arrive first at the airport. They are booked on the first flight.

Emily & Jono are second and booked in.

Elizabeth & Todd are the first Australian team in the queue.

The NZ girl teams are talking about how amazing it would be if the five Aus teams were the first to go. Keep dreaming.

The first flight is full for Aston & Christie - they are stuck with all the Aussies on the second flight. The other four NZ teams are on the first flight.
