What TV Networks show TAR around the world?

I think Singapore rocks. Channel 5 airs The Amazing Race about half an hour faster than in the USA. :funny:

I tape all Amazing Races stripped of commercials and the length of a U.S. Amazing Race not including next episode previews (which are about 30 seconds maximum) is 41 minutes. It is mathematically impossible in one hour for the Phillipines to show it 30 minutes faster, but we get the idea of what you are trying to get across.
TARAsia Fan:
Unless they play the shows at a faster speed which some TV stations actually do to fit in commercials. It's a sneaky trick they play.
Neobie:
Unbeknownst to many Singaporeans, Channel 5 edits the footage they receive from the US (they mostly leave the direct feed telecast untouched though).
Since way back in TAR 4, shots like many of the Reichen/Chip moments got left out in repeat telecasts, including the bit in the opening sequence where they kiss each other - so we're left with a very strange slow-motion shot of them popping out of the pool. This gay/lesbian censorship has continued at the very least into TAR 11, when the same thing happened with Oswald/Danny's hand-kissing scene in the opening sequence.
But if Channel 5 is bad (I won't be the judge), AXN is worse, cutting entire scenes for absolutely no reason, except maybe to get more advertising revenue (which is strange, since they don't do that many commercials anyway). Out of a 42-minute show, about 5-minutes can inexplicably vanish. What?
So, pros and cons, people!
