The guys from the pottery place were too kind to some of the contestants, not that I'm complaining. It would be too hard to achieve something decent on a first try.
The intersection, however, was another story. I didn't like the way they made the losing team had to play & play again until they win. Not really an intersection then.
Next week looks fun. Can't wait!

Villa de Leyva, such a beautiful place, didn't knew about it...
About the intersection you are totally right, I thought an intersection means that teams need to work together to get the next clue, and I was really desapointed to see them Compete to each other in the race, because I actually think that the race its againt your self finishing task as fast as you can, but never see 2 teams competing to each other, well maybe the whole race its team against team but what really decide your place in the board is work together and be the best as you can...
I think the production take de intersection as an interaction between teams... by the way I think the best intersection ever was the Roadblock on TAR16 in Germany :D
krabbe:
I wish next week's placements will be less predictable. That's the only gripe I have so far. Overall, a fun episode.
Vitoko:
Everyday I am more and more dissapointed about this season...
They are improving the edition of the episodes but still weird and confusing... and no departure time of the teams...
Almost every leg has a lineal task that if one team is performing it no other team can do it... how are they supossed to get better and improve their placement if they can't outrun another team... its a race!!
Have no problem with the flights not purchased by the teams 'cause i get bored with the airport dramma but right now its something necessary that the race could use to make it more exciting...
I'm hating the favoritism (its that a word?) about some teams, specially with Carlos&Mauricio they broke one of the most specific rule in the race "If a team doesn't have their passport and documentary they can't check in at the pitstop" and they aloud them to check in... And if they don't have all the documentary till the last team check in they would be eliminated... I mean COME ON! its one the rule book i'm pretty sure about that... and to making it worse... they aloud one of them to fly with the rest of teams while the other is getting a new passport in the PREVIOUS COUNTRY! COME ON! it doesn't even make sense... I mean they are breaking another rule "team members can't be more than 15 ft (or something like that) of each other and too far from the production crew" The one looking for the passport wasn't even recorded or followed by a camera... its just ridiculous... i mean COME ON!
I was talking about favoritism because in a previous leg Omar&Roger were going to get a penalty 'cause they were too far from each other, but in the last minute they found out Omar made some phone calls to his family (4 hours penalty applied) resulting in their elimination.
I was so excited with this season... I was expecting to TARLA or TARDC to grow up and be like TAR USA or ASIA, Come on even China Rush have a better edition, cast, everything... i watched it and i wasn't even that interested in the China Culture... I was going to download the vids of this season and put subtitle on it to make TARLA interesting for the tarfans that don't speak spanish... to make it more interesting for this community but right now it doesn't deserve it... I'm pretty sure that if I do it I will be wasting my time... and its not about the lack of budget... its about the challenge, the excitement of the racers, it the whole package, rules and locations included... right now I'm watching this season only because i'm interested in the latin american culture... i love to travel... and I love the TAR franchise... but even with that 2 weeks ago i totally forgot about TARLA i have to wait till was online because I forgot to watch it on TV...
I'm just dissapointed...
Vitoko:
And in another topic... In TARLA are doing a lot of "Switchback" (kinda)
In leg6 in Venezuela the Detour was inspired or totally imitated of the Detour in TAR14 Leg10...
In leg6 in Venezuela the FastForward was inspired by the FF used in TAR5 Leg9 and TAR7 Leg8...
and it looks like the "hang glide" detour in Rio de Janeiro of TAR2 Leg2 was imitated in the same place... (at least according to the preview of the next episode)
I'm pretty sure i'm missing a lot of task imitated or inspired by the original TAR and its okey don't have any problem about it, only if they are performed in the correct way...

Completely agree, the ones that lost the passport should have been OUT. No questions asked, just like what happened with Zed and Dallas at their time. No excuse, you're out.
Just like this week Phil didn't let the second to last team check-in without their backpacks... same thing this week in the TARLA version.
There is no chance for teams to outrun others if the teams that come behind have to wait until the leaders finish a task, it should be like the original one for those "short-on-space tasks": you have a limited number of tries and then, you have to go to the end of the line to wait to try again. Remember the "duck whisperer" task last year? they HAD 10 min to do it, otherwise, another team would take their place.
Oh, and the drama... the brazilian couple tantrum is ridiculous, the argentinean woman saying "I just want to go" and the peruvian girl that gave up and went shopping with her mom?... c'mon!! they took the chance of hundreds of people who really wanted to do it, for that??? that's a big lack of respect.
