The Amazing Race Asia 2 **Spoiler Thread**
apskip:
I loved episode 5. It's just like The Amazing Race being in India. Except for Daichi and Sawaka, all other teams were in complete chaos. I am not going to get ahead of the Saturday limit on serious comments, but I will say that the random city geography roadblock was a very fine one indeed. Again, Daichi and Sawaka had to have an edge with one Japanese city being the end result sought.
apskip:
Since what is involved here is the Shinkansen, or famous bullet train, the distance of 934 km is covered in 3 hours 40 to 3 hours 49 minutes:
Route Departure time/Platform Arrival time/Total sum/Required time/Distance/Number of transfers
The first TOKYO(05:18) HAKATA(08:59) ¥36670 3hours 41min 934.9 km 3times
The second TOKYO(05:28) HAKATA(09:14) ¥24670 3hours 46min 934.0 km 3times
The third TOKYO(06:20) HAKATA(10:08) ¥36670 3hours 48min 934.0 km 3times
The fourth TOKYO(06:20) HAKATA(10:08) ¥36670 3hours 48min 934.9 km 3times
The fifth TOKYO(06:46) HAKATA(10:26) ¥24670 3hours 40min
When converted from metric into U.S, units, it becomes 158 miles per hour averaged throughout this trip, which goes along the entire lower coast of Honshu and then onto Kyushu. Since there are several stops, you can imagine how fast this train is really travelling.
TARAsia Fan:
I had to read the recap last night as the episode was not available "on satellite", but I have found it now and am about ready to watch it. Expect a full recap this weekend.
TARAsia Fan:
Since it's now officially Saturday on the East Coast of the US, I will say what I really think of Rovilson & Marc. I want them out. I want them to touch the third rail and get electrocuted. Their constant mugging especially those stupid fake mustaches in the taxi was one of the dumbest scenes I have ever seen in the Amazing Race.
I am thoroughly disgusted whenever I see them on camera. One of them is mugging while the other makes seemingly scripted one-liners. They are not funny. They are not talented. They are not true reality TV participants. If they got run over by a concrete truck, I would not be unhappy at all.
When I do my recap sometime this weekend, I will figure a way to slander them. No, that's not right, but I will blast them for their behavior in this episode.
apskip:
Ken, I agree with you. However, the Amazing Race has this funny way of bringing the mighty down. Look at Colin and Christie in AR5, final episode or Rob and Amber in AR11, episode 4 for examples. I am expecting that Marc and Rovilson are going to do something stupid or get Yielded when there is virtually no opportunity to recover. Then, suddenly they will be out. Let's pray for this.
