TAR AUS 5 Ep 1 LIVE SHOW DISCUSSIONS!

<< < (5/7) > >>

Xoruz:
Happy to have TAR back even in the midst of a pandemic.

The beach vs boat decision worked as a trap choice considering the slow boats.
The bombing task was a difficult start to the season, and it was relevant to local history.
The Detour was pure Australian.
The needle-in-a-haystack task at the sugar mill helped provide shakeup considering only four teams could perform the first task.
The toad task wasn't too hard, but it was a nice extra task that provided fun moments.

Liking the teams so far from the premiere. Though considering the number of teams, it's going to take some time to really get to know them.

Show contentHappy to Jobelle & Rani survive despite the penalty. Unfortunate though to see Dwes & Katherine go.

Maanca:
Not bad. For a domestic-based season, it's a welcome difference from Canada that they didn't pat themselves on the back for being Australian every 5-10 minutes, lol.

But 14 teams is too many people to get to know in an 1-hour show.

Show contentJobelle & Rani got lucky with the penalty, but sad to lose Dwes & Katherine. They were one of the teams I liked from the first press.

stunami:
Just watched it (Thanks to a facebook group)

WOWOWOW
Maybe I'm just happy to have some Amazing race haha
but I felt like there was more good, than bad.

The good:
- Most teams got a good presentation (I feel the parents were the only true invisible team, we got a little tiny bit from everybody else)
- Loved the starting line choice, was a great way to separate the teams right away
- That first task was fun, nothing groundbreaking. I'm surprise they didn't show more of Skye-Blue & Jake struggling because they went from 3 to like 8 or 9. Also I don't understand how the cowboy/gold coast girls got 3rd and 4th..., wasn't there like already 7 teams before them, so minus the first two who finished quickly, that still leaves 5 teams having a go at it before they even get a place.
- The detour also was ok, but for me it seems the beer was the quickest option. (If you get it on your first try)
- Love the toad task, gave us a little extra task

The bad:
- Too many teams for 1h10, I would have cut the premiere in 2, with bigger introduction of the teams because some teams were barely saw, and one was invisible.
- I didn't really like the luck task, well maybe if it would have been half luck and then skill. Because the Cowboys really got screwed there, and same for Sefa/Jess for that second part.
- Also, is it me of 30 minutes is a pretttttty small penalty for quitting a task? If they knew, I'm sure some teams would have not waited for their turn (because there was only 4 at a time)

So far my fave teams are:
- Super Sikhs
- Sefa/Jess
- Alex & Jack (I was sure they were going to be Alpha type, but they made me laugh)
- Malaan & Tina
- Dwes & Katherine
- Jobelle & Rani

I don't hate anyone yet, but I'm not a big fan of Dolor (He made me laugh until the pitstop where he was being an ass for no reason)

Something about that premiere that's interesting - take a look at the first clue.



Now Jobelle's Instagram:

We live to fight another day! We timed out on bombs away yesterday after exhausting all the attempts, served a penalty for that and we learned lots on our first leg. Always learning!

Jobelle & Rani actually didn't quit, they just got a penalty for taking too many attempts at the first task. Wonder why that was edited differently lol.

ianthebalance:
Wow they failed at editing that. Really does a disservice to Jobelle and Rani along with making the race look bad by making it look like quitting a task is only a 30 minute penalty  :groan:
