The Amazing Race Discussion / Re: China visits by TAR

« Last post by ye2000 on November 24, 2024, 06:55:44 PM »

I agree with you that if we ever have another mainland China leg, it needs to be somewhere new. I actually don't want to see China for at least another 6-7ish seasons if they are just going to go to the same cities. Having a 7 season break was nice, now they just need to learn how to do that for France, Germany, and Italy (especially the first).

We know a couple of location for Hong Kong in 37, and the location look cool, so I don't think the leg will be bad, but it gets boring to go to the same cities over and over again.

It’s mainly the fact that the Race kept on visiting the more developed cities rather than those that are Tier II or lower. Guangzhou and Shenzhen were new and had only one visit but because of their developed status it gets boring.

TAR Australia / Re: TAR Australia 8 (Celebrity Edition 2) Ongoing SHOW Discussion

« Last post by G.B. on November 22, 2024, 06:54:23 PM »

Sorry the wiki updates for this season were so ridiculously delayed. Blame the Israeli race for taking up so much of my time.

Slightly better than the first Celebrity season, but still just an overall thumbs down from me. Bring back the normal Australian contestants please, this watered-down version is not doing it for me at all.

Try The Amazing Race: China Rush if possible, if you'd like to see Sichuan. They visited it on all three seasons.

The Amazing Race Discussion / China visits by TAR

« Last post by ye2000 on November 21, 2024, 09:14:27 PM »

TARUS used to frequent China before 2019 and aside from TAR18, all seasons visited what China calls Tier I cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen) along with the developed cities of Hong Kong and Macau. I wonder when will be the next time the Race visits mainland China especially since tensions between China and the US are at an all-time high and the US travel advisory has placed a Level 3 warning on the country. I would love to see Sichuan or specifically Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou or Furong which have been trending on Instagram lately. TAR37 maybe a good restart seeing how HK is being revisited but we need more mainland Chinese seasons just like the past.

Just returned home from Yunnan, China which is visited by TAR18!
Kunming:
1. Stone Forest
2. Green Lake Park
Lijiang:
1. Jade Dragon Mountain
2. Old Town Lijiang

I wonder when will the next season to China (excluding HK, Macau, Taiwan and please don't involve politics) will be as it was a frequent destination before 2019.

Episode 7

Metti & Hanna's dominance in Colombia came to an end after losing their fanny pack and struggling with the drum task. The ever infamous sandcastle task made its return near where TARLA did it. Sad that it caused the elimination of Gracias & Jeremie.
