Re: "Around the World for Free!"

To me, this is the first webisode of the series. Jeff is finally out of the country and will be able to immerse himself in a foreign culture. It was kind of cool that the Japanese dad did not know about the visit before Jeff's arrival. Also, I hope the good folks at Jeff's fan club got a good deal on the airline ticket since Jeff did another AA promo on their dime. Also, hope Jeff learns better about the time zones. His flight landed just before 5 pm. in Tokyo which is 4 am in N.C. It would have been entertaining if Jordan had chewed him out or just hung up on him. :lol:

In the first season, Alex spent nearly two weeks before he got out of the U.S. to head to the Caribbean. He spent time in South Carolina and Florida (visiting his TAR racing partner Chris) before he was able to arrange to be flown by private plane out of the country. So the cross-country trek will be a ATWFF tradition, and there are sound practical reasons for it. It allows everything to be tested, equipment, web site, acclimation to how things are supposed to work, as unlike TAR this production team wiull change in some ways every season.

I hear you and what you say makes sense, but I still think they should have left immediately overseas. I didn't follow the webisodes last time but did watch on WGN America. The show didn't really pick up for me until Alex made it to the Caribbean.
Most of the things that Jeff did in the U.S. anyone living here could have done. It's visiting foreign lands staying with home country families experiencing their way of life is what makes the show special.
As for getting the kinks out, that CBS web site still has problems and is certainly not the most user friendly.

Agree with the kinks. I understand the need for advertising revenue and am happy to sit thru one commercial, but three? Not so happy.
