TAR Wishlist - locations, routes, twists, teams, tasks & dreams!**NO SPOILERS**
David:
I personally like Japan, I think BeNeLux could work sometime soon, there's a long time since Finland was last visited, I think Egypt also needs a visit, as well as some Arabian country (Arabian peninsula, that is), or Suthern India (rural, please).
Something like US to Central America, to Netherlands to Luxembourg to Finland to Egypt, to Qatar, Sri Lanka, somewhere else and Japan would definitely call my attention 100%.
Like the Caribbean, then Finland then Egypt... Then Japan, maybe Canada and US. Love climatic changes sooo much.

--- Quote from: Airlinesguy on October 27, 2012, 07:57:23 AM ---The first idea is, frankly, horrible. The people from the US don't care at all for the Intl-TAR versions and I highly doubt people from Australia would care much about TARCR, TARA, TARP, TARI, TARV, TARU, TARN, TARLA or TARF and ditto from other places hosting TAR versions. And also, supposedly a team from TARLA is a Lumelia and extremely popular, however they only speak Spanish. When they get casted for this AS, the language barrier will stop them interacting with other teams and also with the non-Spanish viewers. This will be extremely annoying for the viewers that don't speak Spanish because I'm pretty sure that they don't really want to watch some Spanish speaking people surrounded by English speaking people especially like somewhere in Australia where practically nobody speaks Spanish.
The second idea is much better and I like the idea of themed races. The only problem is: how to incorporate the US into this. It's pretty pointless for a TAR to not start in its home country/region. And also countries along themed races are generally very similar (the reason why TAR doesn't spend too much time in each region) ie Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, both along the Silk Road.

What???!!!!!
First, your statement sounds exactly like Jaime saying that China sucks just because of the language barrier. And is also childish; specially when there's a lot of ways to learn languages (ask Cindy and Ernie next time they chat with us about they're preparation for TAR19) to solve this fact. I'm a native spanish speaker, but I also learned English in my school years - and French, but the basics of it -; so if aussies don't learn to speak Spahish as we do with the English during elementary and high school, it's not our problem, it's yours.
Second, for the rest of your reasoning, totally agree with you.

Yes, that's the point, it's our problem. 7 (The channel that airs TAR here) is not going to want to import a TAR edition full of teams that are speaking Chinese or French or Hebrew or Norwegian because they're a) cheapo and b) frankly, for the exact same amount that the average TARLA viewer cares about TARI: NOTHING.

--- Quote from: theamazingracer21 on October 27, 2012, 07:34:38 AM ---2 races will begin and run at the same time as each other. None of the teams will know that there is another race being run. When each race has 4-6 teams left (both races need to have the same amount) the 2 race will merge and reset and the race will continue as normal. The twist would work espicaly well in special all star season with the 1st race being a TARUS all stars while the seacond race will be a International all stars season.
The 1st race will be hosted by Phil and 2nd race being hosted by either Alian Wu (who is the second most experenced TAR host with 7 seasons hosted; 4 TARA, 3 TARCR) or Grant Bowler(a fellow New Zealander of Phil and host of TARAU). When the two races merge Phil will continue to host solo or co-host with the second host.

I'm sorry but I really don't like this idea. If TARUS merged with TARA halfway through, most viewers would want all the teams not from their country out first. I would at least. It isn't like I don't like Asians. But if you get to know all these teams and suddenly a bunch of teams you know nothing about are thrown in, it would be...well...not fun if one of them won. most people from the USA really don't care about who wins TARA. But if someone from TARA wins our version of the show, it would suck. Just like the all-star idea being thrown around for a while with 6 USA teams and 6 from other versions, the average viewer wouldn't know 6 teams and therefore, it wouldn't be much of an all stars season.
