TAR Australia 5: Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

TARAu5 is a clusterfrak. It's almost like the first season by a production company that's never heard of The Amazing Race before. They literally (not literally) threw a bunch of ideas on a wall to see what sticks and everything ended up sticking. Then decided to throw more things at the well every other day as well.

Also while we're on it, especially considering how this season aired and was filmed during COVID times, I would like to say that it is deeply irresponsible for Ten to cast Stan.
Wayne seems fine and all on his Instagram but Stan based on his Instagram:
-Is a flat earther (follows flat earthers)
-Has posted COVID conspiracy theories and anti-government and anti-lockdown and anti-mask posts
-Has promoted anti-vaccination memes
-Has posted racist rhetoric about COVID ("kung flu", "drop the Chinese", "nuke China")
-Has posted transphobic videos about COVID
So yeah. Considering how this kind of rhetoric is everything that goes against the COVID-19 era, it's super irresponsible for Ten to give someone like this a platform.

Reposting this here. What the heck production?
Bookworm:
The fact that such behavior didn't get him dropped from the show (as most contracts have such provisions) is deeply disappointing. Seeing conspiracy go mainstream in the US has had some pretty disastrous consequences and Ten should know better than to have such guys on, no matter how "entertaining" they may be.
Hopefully their stint is short, for production's sake.

Hopefully it is! The leg they entered in was filmed October 22.
He was back home by the first of November. His social media dropped off after October 16 and he posted a concrete photo of him back by the first week of November (no later than November 3).
Maanca:
It's no wonder this season was so confusing for RFF to follow. This is barely feeling like TAR anymore...
TAR China did the Intruder thing once, but they handled it a little better. The intruder teams had to place high enough in the leg they came in or they wouldn't stay. That makes more sense than a 5 minute delayed start.
