TAR Australia 5 (2021!!) News/Media/Speculation Thread! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
Xoruz:
Two new twists: First Class Pass and T-Junction.
https://tvtonight.com.au/2021/01/new-rules-on-amazing-race-australia.html
First Class Pass: Awarded to first place team in non-elimination leg. Holders then get to skip the next leg and award an advantage to one of the final two teams to check-in and a disadvantage to the other team.
T-Junction: Similar to TAR 6 Leg 2's viking task, but for a whole leg. First team to arrive at T-Junction splits the teams into two super-teams. The super-teams then run the leg, and the second super-team to arrive at the Pit Stop has to choose which team to eliminate.
ianthebalance:
It would be amusing if after the agony of deciding who to eliminate after the T-Junction that it turns out to be a non-elimination leg :funny:
Edit: Upon further thought I’m worried a combined team could throw the T-Junction to get rid of a specific team
stunami:
I don't like both twists...
I HATE that some teams will skip the next leg completely..
It will f*cuk with the placement averages, and they won't get to experience the whole thing.
I don't mind the salvage/sabotage thing, but it's not fair for the second-to-last team.. they are not last so they shouldn't be consequences.
The twist should be : The first place team decides if they want to help (salvage) or sabotage that last team. Maybe if it's an allied they will help, and if it's a strong team you sabotage them!
As for the T-Junction, I'm sure they were inspired by that alliance of TAR32 :funny:
Joking aside, that twist is ... okay, until that last part where they have to vote off someone...come on is this Survivor? Maybe they could do the whole leg together, and then the last super-team has to do an extra elimination task (only those teams, at the pistop) where the last team to finish is out...
I guess we will see how it works out... I do think they showed us in trailers images of that, we see multiple teams hugging, so I guess it's from the T-Junction
ianthebalance:
Yeah with the T-Junction it would be much better if they had an elimination challenge after instead of deciding themselves.
At the point about missing out on experiences on a skipper leg, the experience they get with their reward could be potentially a better experience than the leg itself (vacation vs work)
BourkieBoy:
Get those racing shoes on...only 4 more days to go!
