TAR Vietnam Season 6: SHOW Discussion
dryedmangoez:
The men in suits hovering around the teams during the Leg were obviously their handlers for the day, making sure everything went according to the specific, detailed and well-orchestrated plan. Very ominous and strange.

I've wondered for some time if a leg in DPRK was possible from TAR China for example, but I always thought that it would be a logistical nightmare (reading an interview with a TARV producer, it took several months to get permission to film). So, I still in awe that this leg actually happened.
Show contentThe fact that this leg was kept a secret to this cast until they reached Beijing is a little crazy and a little disturbing. Even if Vietnam has better relations with DPRK than the West, their reactions reading the clue said everything. Any leg in Pyongyang was going to be limited compared to other locations, and this leg was as competitive as it was going to be despite limitations. In a leg that visited Pyongyang, how is the most surprising thing the return of the final 4 finale?

The most surprising thing is the simple fact that they went there. We were never going to get anything shocking or surprising from the actual Leg and episode since it obviously had to be carefully orchestrated.
The pungmul and the hangul tasks were both something you could easily stage south of the DMZ too. The only North Korean-specific things in the episode were the men in suits and the ceremony at the monument to the elder Kims.

Anyway, what are the relationships of the teams? Like I see "Blind Dating" for a lot of them. What does that mean? Did they not know each other before the Race? I know they're all celebs. Were they just put together by the show?
Like for example, MLee and Quoc Anh are listed as "Blind Dating," but they've known each other for a few years and have even been rumored to be actually dating since they filmed her MV before. I'm confused lol
Maanca:
The point of this leg was just the producers wanting to prove they could push the envelope, I suppose.
Musicon:
The dancing task was the best part, the guy who had to do it on his own definitely wasn't a dancer. I'm assuming on the lettering task there was a time penalty for each mistake made. I was curious how they were using their hands/fingers to remember it.

The time limit for the dancing task is 2 hours. After the time limit, the teams must try again and again until they pass.
The time penalty was 5 minutes for each mistake in the lettering task.
