The Amazing Race Discussion / Re: Been to a RACE Location?? POST IT HERE!

« Last post by BourkieBoy on October 08, 2024, 04:26:44 AM »

I'm quite late with posting these photos... but about three weeks ago (in mid-September), I was lucky enough to visit Sydney for an overnight work trip (which I do quite often these days). I had a couple of work colleagues with me who had never been to Sydney previously and they wanted to do a little bit of sightseeing on our only night in the city after our dinner... so of course I took them to as many TAR places in Sydney that I could think of, which was beneficial to the both of us - they got to see the most well-known landmarks and I got to see some TAR locations! 

All of these Photos are to do with TAR2's visit during Legs 8 & 9 and I do apologize in advance if some of the shots didn't turn out as well as I had hoped... it was raining quite severely while we were on our walk, but we stuck it out!   

My first photo is of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where the Racers did the BridgeClimb Sydney in Leg 9



Next photo is of the Sydney Opera House, where Racers found the Australian slang Roadblock clue in Leg 8



While the final photo is of Archibald Fountain, where Racers needed to find “a true-blue ankle biter”



I also passed the Lloyd Rees Fountain in Martin Place (where Racers needed to find “the surfie in the lairy dacks”), the Captain Cook Statue in Hyde Park (where Racers needed to find “the Sheila in the Aussie Cozzie”), Circular Quay (where teams needed to find “The Bushie” and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Leg 8’s Pit Stop), but unfortunately, it was too dark then for me to take any photos  I imagine that I'll have about 2 or 3 more trips up to Sydney by the end of the year and with daylight saving now in effect in some parts of Australia, I'll hopefully be able to provide those photos for you, along with Mrs Macquarie's Chair that TAR Asia 1 teams visited

All in all, I had a very successful night walk around Sydney and I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Yes, I had a very sore inner thigh the next day, but it was still well worth it!

Episode 8 Thoughts

Another pretty good episode for our Namibian adventure! Thought the crystal stall task at the start was a little Survivouresque for my liking, but I'm not saying I hated it! Really enjoyed the poem deciphering task at Swakopmund's Main Beach, that led to the teams having to dig under the whale's spine to find their next clue (not sure about sending the teams to Swakopmund Mole to find their next clue though  )

The Detour task was very interesting! I personally found Herero Style Detour to be the worst task of the leg (probably because I'm not interested in arts & crafts  ), but the German Feast Detour provided me with lots of laughs (what is it with eating challenges this season??? If this isn't a memory task in the final leg, I shall be very disappointed!) Disappointed that there wasn't a Roadblock in this leg, but the night Pit Stop at the Swakopmund Jetty was beautiful

Show content

This was a very predictable Non Elimination Leg, but I'm glad Thorpie & Christian were last over Billy & Oscar - Thorpie's knee injury seems to be getting worse and I won't be surprised if him & Christian are forced to either quit on the next leg of the Race, or he gets medevaced at the next Pit Stop

Episode 7 Thoughts

This was another awesome leg in my opinion! I found both Detour options to be extremely physically demanding - the hike required in Two By Two would of been torturous, but that sandboard ride would be awesome! Four By Four I think was the quicker option, but heaven forbid you get bogged in that sand and you have to dig yourselves out! In terms of the Active Route Marker Task at Pelican Point, I thought this was quite unique (where most teams memorized all the usual information about seals, but forget to memorize what was actually written on the outside of the buoys  )

Thought the Roadblock task was easily the worst task of the leg (I found it a little boring?), but I actually liked seeing the teams mix up the animal fat and ochre before covering themselves with it (and some of the team's reactions when they were applying the paste to themselves  ) The shopping task was quite unique - that Damara Nama language is so difficult to pronounce! Thought the Pit Stop location was quite unique as well

Show content

Can't believe Chloe & Emily got eliminated due to them leaving their fanny pack behind at Pelican Point. They were such a strong team and I really thought they could go all the way and win the thing! Devastated that they've been eliminated

Not bad, I get good first impressions from pretty much every team. They seem energized and excited to be there, so hopefully they won't all COMPLETELY crash at the start of leg 3 like last season.

Roadblock performers (Tell me if I'm wrong)

Leg 1:
Leea, Paulus, Mikko, Tuure, Maria, Hanna, Wille, Tinni, Gracias, Mimosa, Elias

There were 917,000 watching in Sydney, 567,000 in Brissy and 529,000 in Melbourne. Nine also claimed the highest ever BVOD Audience for a NRL Grand Final at 762,000.

Nine drew a huge primetime share of nearly 50% -more than double its nearest rival and setting it up nicely for the week.

Against those sort of numbers it was tough going elsewhere.

Nine News led at 6pm with 1.22m.

The Amazing Race: International Versions / Re: The Amazing Race Finland 2024

« Last post by Xoruz on October 06, 2024, 06:10:08 PM »

I wouldn't say that Finland's first outing was the best, but I was happy to see it return.

Episode 1

They're sticking to the time differences after airports, but the use of public transportation in Krakow did shake that up. The Roadblock ended up being a bit brutal with one team taking 100 minutes to finish it. The Express Pass was introduced, and there was quite a competition among a few teams to win it. Paulus & Adeliina and Leea & Kaarina had a fun first impression.

Episode 2

This leg suffered from a very lopsided Detour. I don't know how anyone could finish the counting task since there were so many small statues. None of them got close. Surprisingly, the Roadblock ended being a slight equalizer. Even though it was the same task from TAR 27, these racers struggled more.
