We are glad to have you! Heee...if I win the lottery I am so flying to Asia every week so I can see it myself! :)
We'll have an Episode thread every week where we can talk about it immediately, so stay tuned!
There was a spoiler and Natalie said that she did better than the alpha male teams.
Well, she did. :sucks
And what did they look for in the dark? Was it public or chartered bus to Chiang Mai?
So no rice harvesting? :rotf: :funny:

Yeah the looked for the clue in dark among buddha statues for the next bus to Chiang Mai. It was chartered. They actually came using the same buses from Khao San road. The 3rd bus to Chiang Mai carried 7 teams.

No lawn mowing either. What are those machines then? :funny:
Was this going to the Caltex place? Was this for the bus washing or to get the chatered busses?

90 minutes sounds like a TBC to me.
Thanks for the nice words. But the real test is going to be the departure times next episode. :snicker:I'm already hunting for sources. I'll let you know, Chateau.
So Peach, how do I go about watching this if, you know, I happen to decide to take a look?
WOW! an unlikeable hero or an unlikely hero??
This is sounding like the toughest race ever---or else all those mactors just aren't so tough! :lol:
Ken, that is not correct according to time zone maps. It did not sound right so I checked it. New York on EDT is currently 12 hours behind Singapore on SGT and Hong Kong according to my official source of such information http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/:ap,
New York * Thu 7:22 PM
Hong Kong Fri 7:22 AM
Singapore Fri 7:22 AM
So, a noon live chat in Singapore will be midnight in New York and noon in Hong Kong.
I'm pleased everyone seems to enjoy episode one.
Those bugs! It was a real shock to the teams as we have started the first two series with a height challenge and I don't think anyone expected us to have an eating challenge off the top.
The buses were huge and hard work, especially as the teams thought they were probably going to wash cars, since the clue referred to them as "vehicles".
The Rice game was tough. It was hard work, really hot and there were lots of blisters. The Race detour was fun and a good choice for teams in my opinion. Teams will need to choose detours wisely this season or they will often pay a high price.
And the first two seasons were non-eliminations in the first Leg but not this year. No let off this time around.
Not a bad start but we turn up the heat next week. I've never seen so many bruises in a single Leg. A couple of bruised egos as well ;)
Enjoy!
well yes there was luck or "the taxi variable" as I call it.
And there was also the fact that we got lost on the buggy track because of a roadmarker that was missing. There was us and Fuzzy and Ad.
So we were looking everywhere.. ... Read Moreand then when we went backwards it was there..
we inquired about it later, and got to know that apparently some local guy had moved it around..eh??
But it is edited from the show.
Ans 3 - I felt horrible.. I mean Amit and I were the fear factor team of The Amazing Race. haha! LOL Both of us were very strong only next to Henry and Bernie (who in my opinion were super strong!). A lot of teams were very happy when we got out cus we were one of the biggest competitors!
Ans 4 - were were sent to a resort.. its called sequester city. I cant reveal the place, sorry. I am bound by a 5 Million $ contract.
Ans 2-I was not rude, I was tired of the taxi driver driving us around for 2 hours in Chang Mai after he claimed he knew where we were going.. I was annoyed and confronted him with his lies!
Yes, you can make me look rude with the 'crappy edits' because you did not see those 2 hours and the lies of the driver..He took us in opposite directions for more money or whatever.. god knows..
while you were sequestered who did you THINK would be eliminated next (just asking on your opinion on who you think came last next not the actual team let's not make you pay 5m lol) ?
Ans 4-umm... I was sure it would be another very strong team, because the underdog always wins the race.
And yes, one of the teams, I considered to be strong and intelligent, came next.

Yeah the looked for the clue in dark among buddha statues for the next bus to Chiang Mai. It was chartered. They actually came using the same buses from Khao San road. The 3rd bus to Chiang Mai carried 7 teams.
:yess: We were right banzai! :jumpy:
Now, about those yellow bags..... :funny:
Oooooh!! Is Mai going to be the FLO of the season?? Wanted to quit after one leg?? :ascared :ascared

hey duck, many people have asked us about the taxi incident, and here's the real story. When we got to Chiangmai, the taxi driver ran up to us and said "rice?". We didn't even tell him where we wanted to go, and it clearly wa... Read Mores obvious he knew we were racers and he knew where we had to go. So we thought he was a provided taxi driver, and if drivers are provided by production, then we don't have to pay for it. We didn't realise it was a PUBLIC taxi so we got screwed. Turns out - he took other teams there before us, so that's why he knew where to go exactly... It was both good luck and bad luck!
Here is my guess on why we see Natalie saying the "worst thing that can happen"....
There is a good flight out of Chiang Mai to Saigon on 5/22 at 1440PM arr 1945. Teams that miss that flight are going to have to wait until the next morning to leave, and it appears that we will have some sort of 5/22AM task (Paintball?) for the racers which may delay them.
A 24 hour Pitstop fits timewise, but does not fit with all the press about shorter rest times, a tougher and harder race, and I don't believe that happens here.
I am thinking that these pictures

are probably taken in the Chiang Mai airport as the columns and windows seem quite similar:

leading me to think that they miss the 5/22 flight and must wait until the AM of 5/23 to fly out, not arriving Saigon until 1030. But are they the ONLY team to miss that flight? Maybe not.... ;)
Does it mean they are eliminated? Not necessarily. We have been told that several teams do not arrive to the clue until the afternoon of 5/23. If the spoiler info is correct, then a M/M team is eliminated in Saigon, and we will have the pleasure of Natalie and Pailin's company a while longer.
I don't think M/M team is eliminated in Saigon, Neena's statement is more reliable, right? After episode 1, all M/M teams were in the bottom 5... and we can't say yet that they're strong and intelligent... so there's a big chance that Henry/Bernie will be eliminated...

Good afternoon banzai-kun,
Q: What are those yellow thingies?
A: The yellow thingies are garland, a circular or spiral arrangement of intertwined material
(as flowers or leaves), Thai people use these flower to respect for holy things and pray for lucky racing,
lucky investing, lucky loving, etc.
Q: Are they gifts or good luck charms?
A: They are affect to mental of prayers...some of prayers are good luck,
some of them don't have anything back.

http://www.youtube.com/v/qnXqmAxGylYAW thanks :D
intro; thanks to dapa091 :wohoo:
Really the biggest downfall for this season is that the US version is going to be airing at the same time.
I so could have used this during the long spring and summer withdrawal period.
