Amazing Race 10 Race info / Media thread
gingerman28:
Here is my updated list of countries and places that TAR has not been to but certainly could add some well needed new blood to our teams' travels:
No America:
Canada - Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Vancouver and Victoria
Guatemala, Beliz
Carribean Islands - Virgin Islands, Bermuda
Europe
Belgium
Denmark
Ireland
Finland
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Ukraine
Slovakia - Bratislava
Czech Republic - Prague
Romania - Translvania (Dracula!)
Bulgaria - Veliko Tarnova
Serbia-Montenegro - Belgrade, Novi Sad
Croatia - Osijek - Dubrovnik Coast
Slovenia
Malta
Greek Islands
Africa
A problem here due to widespread drought, famine, and genocide
Algeria
Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls
Asia
Israel
Turkey (Asian part)
Jordan
Taiwan
Mongolia
Oceania
Guam
Saipan
Micronesia
Marshall Islands
South America
Hard to find a new country here that doesn't have somekind of political problem
One more suggestion: Why not for once go around the world EAST to WEST? Start in Asia or Oceania and end up coming through the Carribean?
Jeffrey Scott:
TAR has been in many of the united states also, either as part of the family edition or as starting and ending locations. What states have not been visited at all?
mswood:
I think one of the reasons the race course goes first usually to south America then to Europe or Africa, instead of going to Asia first is not to just kill all theplayers.
Usually every season has several players who speak spanish. We have had few who spoke any of hte asian country's native tongue.
Seriously.
Season 1-Africa, I don't rember which country but its the one with Victoria falls.
Season two: Argentina
Season Three: Mexico
Season four: I want to say Switzerland, but it was definetly a European country.
Season 5: I want to say Brazil (but again definelty south America, though it might have been Argentina since tleg 2 featured the cementary with Eva Peron.
Season 6: Iceland, I think.
Season 7: Chili, I think
Season 9: Brazil.
If a team went straight to Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, ect. They take a huge risk that the not so good teams (usually the first four to six eliminated) would be so out of their element and lsot that there would be a huge time difference between first team and the next to last. So that tehy would have to have huge equilizers to get the teams back together.
Again, though that leaves such fairly safe places like Australia or New Zealand or even hawaii for the first leg (I know we have had taks in Hawaii, but have we had a whole leg there).
The teams might just be killed on the large amount of travel time.
Talk about Zet lag from hell on just the first leg, if htey went that route.
gingerman28:
First legs for TAR were as follows:
1. Johannesburg, South Africa and then on to Zambia (Victoria Falls)
2. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
3. Mexico City, Mexico
4. Milan, Italy
5. Punte del Este, Uruguay
6. Iceland
7. Lima, Peru
8. Family Fun
9. Sao Paulo, Brazil
Brazil is the only country used twice in leg one.
Race started in South America 4 times; Europe 2 times; Africa 1 time; No. America (Mexico) 1 time
A race from East to West could start out as follows: to Hawaii, to Guam, to New Zealand. This would pose no problems for the teams since all three locations speak English. And the effects of jet lag are minimized when you actually gain time as you fly west.
Kogs:
thanks g-man, i do think this upcoming race is either going togo first go mexico again or to europe and a location that we havnt seen in the race like ireland. since germany is holding the world cup when tar10 will be filming you can count out that country.
