RaceUntilWeDie:
Well I meant that he doesn't actually right away tell that it is a NEL.
Example: Bopper & Mark
"You are the last team to arrive… I know you worked really hard… Bopper, I know you wanted to come on this Race so bad"
Example: Amani & Marcus
"You are the last team to arrive… how are you feeling right now?"
and back then it was basically "I'm… pleased to tell you however,"
Although this is such a small topic, I just wanted to bring it up.
This hosting style of Phil is something I really don't like, but it does allow for meaningful moments like both of Bopper & Mark's NEL's.
Just bugged that it's always so obvious when it's a NEL now, unless you read spoilers and know how long a certain team lasts :lol:

I don't remember where I read it, but I'm pretty sure that Phil often takes several minutes talking to the racers upon arrival, it's just that most of it ends up on the cutting room floor.

--- End quote ---
I think it was only for Mark's last attempt. For all the other teams, the blue podium where the dance instructor was showing his steps were occupied by the instrument players.

To end this discussion, I've been making the spanish subs sync of this chapter, and I found something that put things clear about this point: in Mark's third attempt to perform the dance routine, at 26.36 minutes of the episode, we can see the choreographer doing the routine in front of the stage, guiding Mark. And you can also see the other coreographers close to the stage in every attempt that both Rachels, Vanessa and J.J. made to fulfill the RB, but the editing doesn't allow to watch if they're doing the same.
(EDIT: And also at the 7th attempt too. Down there you have the caps from every attempt)

And here's are some more caps from the RB:
1. Rachel (Davechel) 1st. attempt.
2. Rachel (Brenchel) 1st. attempt.
3-4 J.J. 4th. attempt.
In all of them the coreographers are close to the stage while they're doing the dance routine.

Did you notice that Phil changed his hosting style for when he reveals the news to the last team that the leg is a NEL?
Example: I'm… pleased to tell you however… [ speaking at the last team ]
I've noticed throughout some of TAR19 and 20 that Phil asks questions or somehow gets the last teams to do a speech (i.e. Mark & Bopper) before revealing that it's a NEL.
I don't know, but this just bothers me.

Normally before he did the revealing.. he will give a moment or two for the camera to zoom in to the death-panic-crazy-anxious-faces from the racers who came in last. :lol:
tarflyonthewall:
I'm working on a guide to the tasks of various reality shows (including TAR), and I'm categorising the tasks for each show rather than doing them chronologically for many reasons, among them to compare similar legs. I've worked out that I want to split the legs up by geographic region and while some of them are obvious - Mauritius/Madagascar/Seychelles together, the Scandinavian countries together - others are frustrating to work out. Do I give China and India their own sections? But then what would happen with Sri Lanka and Mongolia? Do I include Israel and Turkey as "Middle East"? Do I separate Brazil from Hispanophone South America? Do I include Jamaica, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic with the Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica legs? Does Morocco go with Tunisia and Egypt as part of North Africa or Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Ghana as part of West Africa? What do I do with Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan? Or Guam? Or the Philippines?
So, I suppose my question is: How would you divide the world into "regions" for something like this?
Edited because Senegal? Not an island.
