Marionete:
None that I can remember and I don't think Phil would do such a thing unless the team did something REALLY intolerable. But that would probably still be left for the edit and the team's portrayal, not such public disrespect.
On a side note, is TAR PH always partly in English? :funny: It sounds so weird, like why is it not in Filipino? :lol:

It's in both English and Tagalog, IIRC.

Taglish, as it is called here. :lol: It is normal to hear someone speaking in this mixed language every day.

Speaking of the edit, I think TAR Ph shows almost everything. ??? It seems so detailed from how I remember seeing the episodes.

That's an interesting point. Maybe TARPH's daily format and filming weeks before airing and then editing the final weeks while the first few weeks are already airing... maybe that's one reason TARPH includes anything and everything interesting. By contrast, TARUS specifically crafts story arcs and uses only footage they can twist and fit into the story they want to tell or focus on. And footage that fits with the kinds of characters they want to portray the teams as. Maybe?
How about other TARs? Especially supersized ones like HaMerortz. What do they fill all that time with? Are they edited like TARUS seasons? Or do they take on a more fluid kind of edit or something?

I think it all comes down to how much time they have for each leg and if there are other things worth showing. US version is about 43 minutes per leg, Filipino version is about 70 minutes per leg, Israeli version can be anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours for one leg.
Whereas with their time the US editors try to create a storyline (albeit more episodic in recent seasons) which can cause some teams to appear single focused or cartoonish even, HaMerotz LaMillion is able to create three-dimensional characters. There aren't any "Villains" or "ROOT FOR THE INSPIRATIONAL UNDERDOG", they seem like real people. The extra time is filled with more confessionals, more of teams getting from place to place or doing tasks, teams running into weird things, more tasks and route markers in general. Despite the additional time, there actually isn't much extra interaction with the host.
It's been a while since I've watched the Norwegian or Ukrainian versions, but I think they're about the same as HaMerotz. Just not as bonkers.
