The Amazing Race International Versions > TAR Australia
Let's Talk About Disappointments of TAR-Aus S1 Here!
starrynight:
Only major disappointment was I found the 3rd place team a bit boring, a bit like the 3rd place team in the American 12th season. Would have preferred the cowboys in the final.
Mo and Mos did last too long, and though the enterpreuner couple were a bit annoying I really don't think they were the villains the program wanted to paint them as. They could have gone to the Americas and had a cold climate country as well. I also prefer double u-turn over single uturns which I think have been shown to be a failure.
But I don't want to complain too much as I liked this one.

7. This one isn't a criticism about Season 1, but it is a must for Season 2 - we need to see the Americas being visited. It is understandable that Season 1 didn't do it, but Season 2 must do it.
8. In my opinion, the Final Leg should not be half-half in two different places. I prefer teams flying straight to the Final Destination City and all tasks taking place there. That thing on the Singapore Flyer was one of the most ridiculous challenges I have ever seen, especially as it was on the last leg!

I don't think the Americas has to be done next time, though Americans will think that way. :D But they do definitely need a cold climate location.
And I'm not bothered with splitting legs between places, I really wish I saw that on the American version now. More should be packed into legs to make it more of a challenge.

I actually don't mind the finale being split in two places - it created a few interesting finales in old TAR seasons - but the Singapore Flyer task thing completely killed Sam & Renae. That terrible luck-based task cost them the race. :'(

Any luck based tasks should be near the start of long legs imo. Although they do still favour people who arrive at the task first, and those who are more competant at carrying out a task (like opening prison cell doors). I suppose the quicker you start a task or carry it out the quicker you are likely to finish it even if it has a luck element to it.

Yeah, that's definitely true in most cases. :tup: Like rolling out the haybales on TAR6/15 - you'd be likely to finish quickly if you rolled them faster. :tup: But with the Singapore Flyer task on the TARAus finale, there's very little skill involved and you can't really do much to finish faster. :(
