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...

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.

Totally agree a lot of teams are there complaining about the race... and that is a bad cast... i assume that in the casting process they see how they are going to work during the race... to use it for the camera but if they keep saying "i wanna go, i wanna go" i really think that its something predictable...
sorry but i'm not following you wich "duck whisperer" task? can't remember it... but i remember the "looking for marked stones" in the first half of the final leg in mexico, they have like 10 minutes to try then the other team take the opportunity... and when did the peruvian team went shopping? i believe they were tired and dehydrated so their were just slow but never heard that they went shopping, they didn't wanna go home... but with the edition i could possibly be wrong...

They did not go shopping, they just did the Detour task that was to search for stuff in a market
guacamole300:
Phil didn't let Chad and Stephanie check in because they had to settle with their taxi. That is the rule... it wasn't because they didn't have their backpacks.
But in this case, i got frustrated with this version and stopped watching. I don't get why the quality is worse than last season. I mean, if they already did it correctly once, why are they going backwards??? they should be improving. I actually quite liked the first season very much. But this season, I don't like the teams, I don't like the editing, I don't like how linear the legs are, I don't like how the teams are not as invested, I don't like the bizarre rules...all in all the first season was better in just abput every aspect.
Please get back on track for season 3 if there is one!

That's what I remember they chose the same task that Mauricio&Mariana... I though I missed something... I belived it was to search little plates with letters...

Do you remember S15, Zev and Justin (I remember Zev had Asperger's Syndrome)?
I remember there was a where they had to take 50 or so ducks form one side to a field to another by going up and down a bridge. There were only 2 or 3 of those fields and each team had 15 min to try to do it. If they couldn't by that time they had to leave the field and let other teams try and went to the end of the line... literally.
The "duck whisperer" it's how they called Zev after that task because he was so calm and the ducks were actually following him and doing as he said.
The peruvians were done with the task as far as I remember, they were done with the detour... maybe I mistook it for something else, my bad!
Anyway, I honestly can't stand the crying brazilian babies and the two argentinean chicks. They're fighting over nothing, nothing has happened!
Oh... and the AAAAAAAAGGGGGRRRRRHHHH!! guy? he's scary!
