極速前進 The Amazing Race (China) SPOILERS and LIVE SIGHTINGS
Neobie:
Made it through the end of Leg 5... and I can't believe it, but it's not that bad!
Love that the challenges are hard. Hardest out of all the editions of the race I've seen, except maybe the first half of TAR:A 3! I don't know how these celebrities can do all of it.
And despite filling the cast with celebrities, I'm really getting to like all of them. Love that teams randomly break into English and Cantonese. (Anqi (gymnast wife): "很 special 的 plate") Of course I'm rooting for my hometown teams Wallace/Jackie (brother/sister) and Jordan/Ekin (buddies), but all of them are adorable in their own way. Special points for trash-talking and unconvincing-lying Cica (the loud-mouthed girl)! But these guys have no idea how this show works. Not knowing what to do at a U-Turn, not knowing how a Fast Forward works, and relying on the field producers explain the rules on air? Well in that regard this show is still a trainwreck.
They really don't mind breaking the fourth wall in this one. Is it like this for all Chinese reality TV shows? You see cameramen running around, producers giving instructions, producers helping to wipe the celebrities' faces, getting scolded by/scolding the teams, and bringing them water to wash their hands? :ascared
Not sure why they got rid of the first host. He wasn't that bad, and they didn't give him much screen time anyway. Allan Wu is so over the top. (Aladdin? Really?) And his Chinese... :groan:
The first-place prize is hilarious. (Gonna leave the non-Chinese speakers hanging there for a while.) You can see how excited the recipients are!
I was the one who came up with the concept of a duel in 2003 (search for "tennis stars" to get to the right post), 8 full years before even HaMerotz did it. And I still like the idea! Sometimes it's just cool to see teams going head-to-head against each other.
G.B.:
I'm gonna need a description of the prize for the wiki. Was there a prize on legs 2 3 or 4?

Yeah, the winning team got the milk free for one year on legs 2~4.
Leg 3 winners got an exclusive taxi and driver for leg 4.
Leg 4 winners got 1200 2000 Dirham for leg 5 while other teams got only 120.
