The Amazing Race International Versions > TAR Australia

Joys and Disappointments of TARAus 2

<< < (4/7) > >>

Jobby:
1. I hated the mid-leg equalizers. So, what was the U-TURN for?

2. I hated the NEL which is followed by an INTERSECTION in the following leg. Hello, how's the last place team supposed to catch up?

3. I hated the horse betting task. Could have been a really cool task. But every 45 minutes to wait for a race, is just pathetic. And when they don't get to wait, they just carry the team mate across the finish line??? Real stupid, if you ask me.

BUT...

I loved everything else! :lol: Loved Emilia and Lucy, Jo and Michelle... loved Paris (OH WAIT, WHY WASN'T THERE A PITSTOP IN PARIS???)... loved Canada... loved the tasks that we saw in India (epic few legs)... loved the dynamics between the teams... loved that the teams were interesting... loved the locations (NOT CHINA)...

It's a great season! But this is going the TAR USA way of all-male team winning all the time. :lol:

Not going to happen anytime soon.

For Australians that don't know, we are not too fond of Cuba over here in the USA.

Technically, the American government just doesn't like the Castro family. It's pretty well-known that everything's going to calm down between the two the moment Fidel and Raul are out of the picture. A bit like how the US government gets on pretty well with Saudi Arabia despite the whole thing with the Bin Ladens.

How could I forget the WORST final task ever! Never put a needle in a haystack right before the Finish Line! I am guessing the producers were hoping for a close finish but that was unnecessary! I never want to see that again.

Joys:
-Great cast of competitors. I really like the winners.
-The Salvage Pass saved a team I REALLY enjoyed watching. 
-The Must Vote U-Turn.
-Some tasks that required thought, such as the raft building, and the steps challenge.
-All of the Paris (mini) leg, especially the souffle making task.
-I loved Shane and Andrew walking across Paris at dawn, taking in the sights, and avoiding another taxi.
-Joseph and Grace getting penalized for interference (it would have been a bigger joy if it had been applied at the actual pitstop). Their decision to pay another team's taxi meter plus a little extra in Paris probably contributed to their eventual taxi money woes late on in the race.   :yess:

Disappointments:
-The Salvage Pass prize (one hour head-start) was lame, and of no real consequence, seeing how far behind some of the other teams were.
-Having an Intersection on a Marked for Elimination leg.
-No pitstop in Paris.
-Having the Must Vote U-Turn and only using it once.
-Too little money/too much begging.
-"You are the _____ team to arrive!"
-The YouTube blackout.  I still haven't seen the final 3 episodes.  (:;)
