TAR 19 EP 5 "I Feel Like I'm in the Circus" (Bangkok, Thailand)
Prophet:
What madness is this? What a weird leg :lol: The fish thing is the dumbest task ever invented by TAR. I'm still confused with the order of the bus arrivals and why the top four were in their positions.
Let's hope the next one is better. I don't like these no skill, luck based legs.
theschnauzers:
I'll buy in on this being the leg Phil referred to as having to be redone at the last minute. I'm wondering if teams would have otherwise flown out of Thailand from Phuket to a mystery country before they headed to Malawi?
It sure did look as if these tasks were certainly one that were easy enough to work in at the last minute with some contingency planning, but the pacing was unusual.
I'm not bothered by Andy and Tommy's talking about their faith, because it seemed to be something production brought up in their confessional interview, and wasn't something they were raising with the other Racers and the locals. It really doesn't seem to be a factor in anything that happened in this leg. The only reason I can think of to use it was because of Justin/Jennifer's mention of respecting Buddhism in the spirit house task and wanting others to do the same had those others gone into their church. Otherwise that was a odd editing choice.
Elven6:
It was a pretty weird leg, it felt like all the control the racers had was put into the hands of their rides. I'd also would have liked to see what happened during the bus rides that screwed up the order so nicely.
Not sure if it's mentioned here but Ernie and Cindy originally were underpaying their cab by about $50, $150 USD roughly converts to 4,500 Baht. So much for all the insults...
I can't really blame Andy and Tommy for talking about their faith since they were likely asked questions about it hence why they brought it up, I just didn't like how the production team handled it. It's almost like they wanted to take a really likable team and split their audience over what some could deem as controversial remarks. Kind of like the Dumbledore controversy with Jeff during the latest season of Big Brother, maybe a ratings thing?
Jobby:
I didn't really get offended by Andy and Tommy's comments... they're right, as Christians they would have felt uncomfortable doing it but they are not wrong in saying something like "God is God" and He'll understand why they're doing that Roadblock. It's really probably just the edit.

My problem is that that seems like too much for riding around in the back of a truck :lol:
