TAR16 - EP 11 "They Don’t Even Understand Their Own Language" (Shanghai 2)
spolarium:
how many are jet's children ?
Zack.:
I'm certain the first Louie/Michael cap is outside the entrance to the Science & Technology Museum. Either Dan/Jordan weren't very far ahead (ie they checked in right before sunset), or there's an initial task/taxi drama that slows Dan/Jordan down.

I can't speak for luke,but I don't think anyone is going to argue that it is ugly behavior. My point is that, one instance doesn't reflect how a person normally behaves. We have had racers who yell at locals (or demean them all the time. That personally bothers me a lot more, then what so far as been a single instance.
After going through every season with a fine tooth comb, I don't think there has been a racer (to make it near the end) who hasn't at one point of another lost their temper. Be it with a local, a service personell, with fellow racers, or with their team mate.
I mean look at Danny & Oswald two racers who are considered extremely friendly to locals, they have insulted cab drivers, told them they can't speak their own language and threatened to kill one. All in one leg. Was it ****ty behavior, of course it was. But was that instance something that really reflected how they normally treat others?

I'm not going to say that Dan & Jordan are part of the pantheon of "Ugly American" racers until I see the whole episode, but Dan, in episode 6 in France, was also the one who said, "People really do not speak good English here."
I will re-watch that Macau episode from TAR11 and pay close attention to Oswald & Danny. I don't remember them being that bad in that episode, but they'll definitely take a tumble as my all-time favorite team if it's as bad as you say it is.

I don't think any of us who haven't run the race have ANY idea how tough it really is. While I would hope I would be upbeat and appreciative, I know that I would be sure to have my moments of frustration and impatience..
I certainly am not going to disparage a racer who has been repeatedly supportive of his partner, and positive in his outlook, for one brief moment in the whole race. Especially when that racer has made no bones about the fact that he doesn't travel well. I give him great credit for all the good moments instead!
I think the editors needed some drama this week...and one taxi meltdown is all they have. :lol:
