We see the Star Ferry Pier a lot, don't we? That's a visit for each of the five legs we've been to Hong Kong? Beat the Macau Tower (three for three), but still one short of LAX (six for six)!

Hong Kong has moved to joint-third with Auckland for most-visited city (behind LA and Bangkok), ~~bumping China (Taiwan excluded) above India to the top-spot in the country ranking~~. Hmm!

(Will go downstairs to ask the herbal shops about the crazy Israelis once I get the chance!)

Edited. Thanks Raymond.

^^Why?

China - TAR 1, TAR 2, TAR 6, TAR 10, TAR 11, TAR 14, TARA 2, TARA 3, TARI (9)
India - TAR 1, TAR 4, TAR 5, TAR 7, TAR 10, TAR 12, TAR 13, TAR 14, TARA 1, TARA 3 (10)

India is still ahead by one season.

Macau/Hong Kong tasks always being so interchangeable (except casino task in TAR:A):

Head shaving task:

Everything else about this leg:

I couldn't tell if it was a non-elimination leg all the way until the previews for the next leg. Hmmph?
Love every team left!

Causeway Bay > Wan Chai > Sheung Wan > Kowloon City > Wong Tai Sin > Shatin: How... linear!

TAR2's Mary/Peach: Hong Kong > Kowloon > Hong Kong > Kowloon > Hong Kong
TAR11's Charla/Mirna and Eric/Danielle: Kowloon > Hong Kong > Kowloon > Hong Kong
TARA3: Kowloon > Hong Kong > Kowloon > Hong Kong

Tusha updated with this at Sucks:

just a little news update from today, on ynet [title is "chicki chicki check in", as a gesture to Hannah & Margalit], here's the link: http://www.ynet.co.il/art...0,7340,L-3723739,00.html

there are some pictures of the team and Raz & GF on Ben Gurion airport in Israel.
according to the article, the teams are flying to a secret destination where the final will take place.

the pics are from this saturday, so i guess they are racing right now, kind of exciting, isn't it?

i'm happy the final won't be totally live. there was a show in israel a few years ago called "racing to the apartment". it was very similar to the amazing race, but the race took place only inside Israel- it actually was a low budget version of the amazing race. on this show, the final was all live and it was just awful, horrible!

i hope the final won't ruin the whole show...

BTW, TARI subtitles are on their way... they will be published starting on july... it will be worth the wait! we've already started working on it.

this week, i believe that there will be the last non-elimination leg.

Thanks, Tusha!!

Hi Tusha!! I tried to reach you by email, but it came back.

I am dying to watch once the subtitles are up, hope it works out!

Please keep us updated, it sounds wonderful. The finale is this weekend, right?

Tusha · « **Reply #57 on:** June 04, 2009, 04:40:56 PM »

it depans of how you define "final".
The episode that was aired today (3 hours ago) was the start of the first leg of the final, and the last episode that was filmed a few months ago. they finished this leg at New Zeland.
The next episode will be the final, which was filmed this week, closest as possible to the airing date to prevent spoilers. the teams have been flown back to New Zeland for the final. according to rumors, the teams will arrive to Europe on the last episode, 1 week from now- I hope it's true.

I don't know if I like or hate that final commercial...

So the Final 3 are being flown from Israel to New Zealand just to fly to Europe?

Tusha · « **Reply #60 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:04:17 AM »

the final promo suck.

about the flight i really don't know, it's all rumors for now...
we'll wait and see...

Neobie · « **Reply #62 on:** June 06, 2009, 12:05:12 PM »

Well no surprise there, it's Terminal 3 (the Intl terminal). So everyone's on the same flight to the Final Destination City? 'Cause this looks unlikely, no less for 20 racers and an entire bunch of crew!

Happy 2500, cdfe88! (I'm an '88 too!)

I swear, you guys are nuts. 2500? 7000? I've been here since we were looking for helipads over Sao Paulo and I'm not even past the Devil's number...

Tusha · « **Reply #63 on:** June 06, 2009, 01:00:03 PM »

LOL

it does look too complicated...

maybe their already filmed the morning part in new zealand when they read in the envelopes where is their final destination a few months ago, and the cut will be on the flight part, so it'll look like teams are flying from NZ to final destination, but it's actually the flight from israel to the final destination.

or that the final destination will be NZ and they won't have any new destination on the final (that sucks...).

i wish it could've been final in Israel, but i know it can't be. our country is so small that two seconds after the finish line will be done, there will be pics all over the internet.

you must understand that our country is so small that everyone saw at least 1 reality contender on the streets incidentally.

i can tell that i was bumped to someone from Big Brother Israel in the streets of Tel Aviv, and saw 2 competitors from Israeli SYTYCD (1 at a resturant, 1 at the mall), LOL.

my sister, BTW, saw Hadas from TARI on student day in Tel aviv a few weeks ago.

i think top 3 teams and Their respective cameraman flew to New Zealand, and Eliminated Teams and Raz Flew To Europe. i think that make sense!!!

Tusha · « **Reply #67 on:** June 11, 2009, 03:52:56 PM »

a few words after watching the final:

the final was ****ty for many reasons, but the main reason is that the final was not planned well.
i'm am really disapointed. a great season like this one deserves a much better final.
i hope the producers will learn from their mistakes and create a worthy final for TARI 2.

so don't get your hopes too high...

I had a big Tata&Will vs Chris&Alex flashback from that final. Shay&Guy were a strong entertaining team, but the finale task (that was planed and filmed after the show was aired) was programmed for two strong men team.

Although I didn't like Maya&Amichai as a team they should have won - they arrived to the finale task in a concidrable lead and lost it becouse it was extremly physical (see TAR5 brick shoving at egypt but up the hill) and Maya is a small woman agaaist two fit men.

GonzaloChileno · « **Reply #70 on:** June 12, 2009, 05:42:21 PM »

final leg was great (not the team that won), exciting tasks, and the teams were really close to 1 the million shekels.... the only thing that i didn't like was the eliminated teams talking!!!

Neobie · « **Reply #71 on:** June 13, 2009, 07:20:14 AM »

It was a finale with exciting tasks for a change!

But yeah - too many straight-forward tasks which take the same time no matter what, which leads to the only placing-switch taking place only at the very end - damn! Would have loved to see Tom ve Gil have a chance!

Not an awesome awesome finale, but it did look very good - and the season itself was pretty neat!

Tusha, what's that bit about the eliminated teams running around recycling bottles and driving product-placement cars around?

Tusha · « **Reply #72 on:** June 19, 2009, 04:39:25 AM »

it was a stupid thing called "the green task".
during the show viewers have voted on the show's website to decide which team will do this task.
i belive that it should've been somthing big at start, 'till producers have decided that the final won't be live- and actually minimized this task to somthing minor as it was.
at this so called "task", teams who had the highest nomber of votes has recycled bottles & drove in a hybrid car to announce the other teams that there are flying to the finish line to support the 3 finalists.

Anybody know anything about this??

Quote

Those who went to the recent WWDC were able to be part of a revolutionary new iPhone experience - at least tThe Amazing Race Israel”. But the stream only worked with iPhone OS 3.0.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKUio-8665Y

So you will want to know what that means for us - the average iPhone user. Well, several things - firstly, the iphone OS 3.0 is being released to developers today. That means that we can expect a pretty quick response from at least some TV stations around the world and be able to subscribe to their networks in the near future.

It also means that we should see the iReshet app released any day now - as the promise at the WWDC was that the iReshet app would be released soon after the iPone OS 3.0 had been released. Reshet is the top/ most successful channel in Israel - you can get a preview of the quality of their shows in the above video.

Finally, the app will allow live TV application for both the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch. So keep an eye out for this app - if only to get a look at whatis in store for us with live TV on the iPhone.

Didn't we have some links to watch besides the reshet ones?? I seem to have lost them...
