The Amazing Race International Versions > TAR Australia
TARAus 1 Episode 1 (Indonesia) Episode Discussion *SPOILERS*
Prophet:
The Detour was just whatever it was. I've seen better and worse.
The briefcase task was a definite plus! I <3 it!
(I take that back about Tyler and Nathan :lol: )
Prophet:
Final Thoughts:
Sam and Renae were better than I expected them to be. It should be interesting to see how they do in the future.
Wasn't expecting the non-elimination leg on the first leg, but I'm glad they're going to use the Marked for Elimination method. :tup:
I know that not all hosts are at their best on their first reality show, but I think Grant needs to appear less practiced and more genuine. JMO
All in all, this looks to be a good show to watch. :tup:
phant0m:
Sam and Renae were awesome. Why won't they cast another DustinandKandice team on the american version? Also love the australian version of the bowling moms (one of the top 10 teams ever btw). The cowboys were okay, still 100x times better than Jet & Cord. Hated the enterpreneurs and the brother-sister team. Overall - good episode and cast - looking forward to how this is gonna turn out!

Not sure if its HD as Channel 7 is not in HD, but at least they didn't go backwards and only film it in 4:3. The productionwas also good and nice sky shots and scenery too. They didn't skimp on the budget.

AusTAR was shot in HD, yes. It was the first of the franchise to be filmed as such.

If you're talking about all versions ever created, I believe that The Amazing Race: China Rush was the first one to have filmed in HD.

I watched episode 1 and asked myself one question: "Am I re-watching TARAsia 4 episode 8?" :duno:
I mean the way they get the Detour clue is the same way in TARA4 (Perang Topat - rice war), one of the Detour (Carry) is the same Detour in Asia 4 (Above), and the finding briefcase, counting money task is also the same, the difference is that each briefcase contains different money. Plus, the road to the pit stop tell you to travel by cidomo (horse carriage) just the same. Finally, the pit stop is also located at Sunset Point - Gili Trawangan... (:;)
Although, it is still more interesting with new participants, some changes (beside TARA4): Roadblock (climb then abseil), one of the Detour (Cash - sell Bakso), BOTH members dive into Halik Reef and retrieve a briefcase, counting houses with chalks & boards... :lol3: Oh yeah, a new host, too, Grant Bowler, but he doesn't seem to be enthusiastic like Phil, like the way he announces result to each teams, he uses the same line like: "You are team number...." and that sounds like he doesn't happy and congratulate to the teams much... :(
My favorite part in this episode is probably the Detour, there are more teams perform, some Cash, some Carry... really funny the way how they sell Bakso: begging, hugging, kissing... and drop the baskets while they are carrying :lol:
My favorite teams are: Sam & Renae, Tyler & Nathan, Kelly & Dave, Anne-Marie & Tracy and especially Matt & Tom. They remind me of Jet & Cord from TAR America... and you know how I love cowboys!! :yess:
Hope Matt & Tom are as good as Jet & Cord, we still haven't watched all the season yet, so we didn't know how they will turn out in the race, but right now, I'm rooting for them and the others :)
