Ep 1 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **Please read the rules**
georgiapeach:
The first ep needs to be at least an hour and a half in order to have time to fit everything in, imo. Or do like TARA used to do and have a "meet the teams" pre episode!!

It wasn't so much the tasks, they were average. BUT, the editing was horrid.

The problem I had with this episode was how the Chipendales had a meaningful confessional on the race to the pit stop, yet Rob and Shelia DONT and get eliminated. The hardly got ANY airtime at all. Besids that it was good.

It wasn't so much the tasks, they were average. BUT, the editing was horrid. Absolutely AWFUL. Everything was chopping and changing, WAY too rushed for my liking! It was extremely hard to follow, I honestly can't remember much of what happened in the episode.
Also, IDK about anyone else, but it really didn't even feel like teams were in China.. I felt the episode was completely rushed and bypassed the whole "I hate China cause it's so confusing and nobody speaks English" mind boggle and breakdowns China usually presents to teams.. Just a really sucky leg IMO and it had nothing to do with teams or the tasks - it was just presented in a really odd way. But feel free to discuss and disagree :)

Finally watched it through streams :yess:
Pointers:
1. Indeed it was weak, maybe they want to SHOWCASE the big surprise of $2MILLION at the starting line, that's why they put the intro a bit longer?!? :duno:
2. The starting line task was physically challenging and the difficulty rate for 11 teams to be documented by the crew maybe one of the factor.. but I think they have too much angle... soo much that they even confused which one to put (helicopter-a must, first person helmet camera- also a must, the rest was additional)
3. chinese culture also only relevant to the restaurant, the stadium and the bund I think was more to the modern era
4. there's no slot for the teams to get to know each other (usually shown at the airport) where teams stare to each other and start making assumptions.. (like famous tv starts, etc..etc..)
5. so yeah, it was a rush one, a little too much footage rather than showing teams in transport mode (argue with taxi driver, get lost, etc...)
6. I HOPE they can paid it off at the second Episode, where Indonesians RFFers expect a high showcase of cultures and traditions.. :hrt:
Jobby:
It was really a... erm, ok premiere episode. All I could remember was the twin sisters, foot-race between Abbie and Ryan and Amy and Daniel.. and Chippendales getting lost and barely surviving. Oh, and Rob having to complete the Roadblock again.
On a side note, both all-female teams beat all the all-male teams this season. Hmmm. :lol: I don't think this usually happens. :lol:
supah:
FF teams beating the MM teams :luvya:
