TAR16 - EP 11 "They Don’t Even Understand Their Own Language" (Shanghai 2)
slayton:
From the episode preview, it looks like Brent & Caite and Dan & Jordan will assume the roles of the Ugly Americans for TAR16.
After seeing the picture of her pulling her eyes back like Miley Cyrus and the Spanish basketball team, I'm not surprised by Caite mocking the way people speak English in Shanghai.
The context in which Dan spazzes out and throws a temper tantrum should be interesting.
From the preview, it looks like the taxi that they're following is already running a red light. I guess that their driver doesn't want to risk running a red light, which makes Dan throw a tantrum, tell Jordan that they're getting out of their taxi, and talk about committing physical violence.
I'm interested to see in what context the "stupid" comment is made. The tantrum itself looks ugly enough, however, if it's not that bad but Dan & Jordan start hurling insults at locals, even taxi drivers, then they will definitely be in my short list of Ugliest American teams in TAR history.

I was wondering WHY it was so important to follow that taxi? If it just a matter of keeping up with another team, that might be an over reaction. But suppose it was something like TAR 2's "follow that plane" ?? ???

I don't have access to episode 10 right now. Did Dan & Jordan tell their taxi driver to follow Louie & Michael's taxi after the fashion task?
Following other teams could just be what they do.
I wouldn't expect a non-Mandarin speaking team to be able to remember where to go in Shanghai if they ended up pulling a Tara & Wil. I think they would be DOA if that happened.

Okay, I've been dead wrong for quite a long time, so I'm pretty careful with what I say here. Maybe we're taking it totally out of context. I'm thinking that Dan is totally stressed as a result of doing a task, which has put them again at the back of the pack, and as a result, he acts out the stress on the taxi driver??

Just keep in mind the penchant for editing misdirection in the previews.
