TARA 5 Premiere LIVE SHOW Updates & Commentary! Jakarta, Indonesia

Maanca:
Too bad they eliminated a second team and didn't have a NEL here.

Think about it, 10 legs, 11 teams = 1 NEL. Put it on the first leg, then the rest of the season is you're last, you're out.

BourkieBoy:
That is SO dog that they have a team eliminated, really even before the race has began! Just like TAR 15!

Go Team Travel Hosts!  :cheer: :conf:

It seems like we had a potentially avoided penalty for Rei & Keiji which would explain why they were last :(


--- Quote ---During the first challenge, when teams had to pick a cardboard compass with a specific reading out of hundreds, Keiji revealed that they “made a mistake where we didn’t read the clue properly”.

They picked out the correct compass on their second try, but after they had moved on to the next location “I realised I still had the wrong compass in my hand,” Keiji recounted.

“The clue said that you had to put it back before you took the next compass,” Rei explained. “We thought we had time to go back and return it (but) the traffic killed us.”

If they could have a do-over, she said, “we would still have made the same decision to put the compass back, because that was the right thing to do. But we would have read the clue”. “Before we joined the race, my sister and I decided that we were going to be honest and play the game fairly,” Keiji added.

Booooo! for no EP and yes SLT elimination. (:;) Of all the things they have to get from TAR US, it has to be the worst and most unfair twist that ever existed. The team that got eliminated is unfortunately the one I was rooting for the most after all the team introductions. :(

The guy who had to tell the teams "Go!" :haha Awful.
Having a co-host for Allan is nice though.

I question TARA's budget, because are they seriously cutting that much teams this early!? ??? Also about the 2EL, another team I was rooting for had to go because of it. :groan: I was honestly expecting a NEL, so 2 good teams gone this early is such a disappointment. TARA5 should've just cast 10 teams, then have the SLT with a penalty; not 11 teams (especially if they are strict on budget) with the elimination SLT. :groan:

Detour was fine: The physically demanding task versus the task that requires detail. Not bad in my opinion, since it's just Leg 1.
The ondel-ondel was a decent task. Plus points when it cost Anita & Tom a drop from 2nd to 8th. :o

I think TARA could've done better than this, but I'm glad I got to watch TAR again! :yess:

This summary is awesome! :nut: I noticed that the current placements have been missing from time to time, so I couldn't keep track of their placements half of the time.
