AMAZING RACE ASIA COMMENTARY
patlini:
GeorgiaPeach - hope you have better luck today with the site, i checked today from work (oops) and it worked like a champ - how embarrassing to post a duff link on my first post. :-[
I am eager to discuss episodes 4 - 13 and don't want to spoil anything.
thoughts so far, Wow - they do a lot!!!
I like how Andy instigated a Boston Rob (a la meat eating) at the dig roadblock. Was it me or did that seem like a brutal roadblock compared to TAR. Also the penalty didn't start until they hit the mat in TAR7 it started at the roadblock here.
I also liked the fast forward, using a sponsors' products but not so in your face as they have been on TAR (grrr - gnomes).

Oh don't worry--even some of the CBS ones give me trouble here and there!
And I'm really looking forward to watching--it is going to be my weekend treat so thank you again! Even if it is hangy uppy it will be better than none at all! :wohoo:
And for a spoiler queen--I'm really pretty unspoiled so don't y'all tell me till Monday who goes out next! :lol3:

patlini, WELCOME. We are pleased to have more participants eager to discuss ARA1 and active in this dialogue.
The issue of when penalties are applied is a very contentious one in ARA1. In this episode 3, they actually get it right (watch out for later). You should take another look, patlini. The penalty is not applied until they get to the pitstop. At that time, since Jacqueline and Aubrey are the last of all the finshers and have the same penalty as 5 others, they automatically become team #9. with the penalty applied, the other teams with penalties become #5 through #8. If they had applied the penalty immediately, it would have washed out overnight with the hours of operation and been meaningless.

Finally got to see Ep 4 :wohoo:
I think it took about 2 hours because of the tape pauses but still! Thanks patlini!

Ain't that the truth. I downloaded the series and am now about 2/3 of the way through. I don't want to say too much and spoil it for Peach, but the way in which one penalty is applied (for speeding) is so suspicious ??? it stinks up the place.
