Topic: TAR Vietnam Season 5 All-Star: SHOW Discussion

[paradoxinee]

I still hate TARVN for too much physical challenge. No wonder why Green team is dominating the race.
And Penalty rule is a mess.

[doctor.nguyencaonhan]

I wonder if the 4-hour penalty is set for all Roadblocks in the original version? As in this version, many types of penalties are used for Roadblocks: 5 minutes for the Roadblock on the first leg of Season 2 (:v , unbelievable), 4 hours for the Roadblock on 5th leg of Season 2 (suitable penalty)and 2 hours for today's leg's Roadblock (should be longer)

TARV is nothing compared to TARLA when it comes to physical challenges.

So this is the list of locations I've got for this one!
-Village House
-Village Bridge (RBK)
-Village Farm (DTR)

...I hope there's some better names for these out there, haha.

Oh by the way, since they've been on two seasons now, do we know Song Ngư's full name yet?

I like this little clip they posted of the task (drones!)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/M6H3ibUSnsU" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/M6H3ibUSnsU</a>

Very epic feeling with the music and all. And that must be the most locals I've ever seen watching a TAR task hehe Fun!


Also, I love that TAR Vietnam posts all the episodes on YouTube, complete with Sting commercial intro. And they excitedly title it "FULL HD" too.  TAR China also.
If only certain other TARs did the same thing. *cough*TARPH*cough*

Dave & Rachel only got 2h for quitting Leg 3 roadblock (they ran out of bottle in this dancing task)

For Dave & Rachel's case, they were forced to quit, not that they wanted to quit.

Why does the thumbnail give away the Pit Stop result again??

Pha Lê passes out? 

I read some comments on facebook and they said that in Behind the Scenes, Huong Giang said that Yellow Team strategy was to spill water to do the challenge faster because they thought that they only had 15 minutes penalty. But then, this stupid move bit them in the ass. Because of this, Dang Hoang and Huong Giang had a fight on facebook. Then, Dang Hoang asked the producer to delete this behind the scene episode and they re-edited it and cut that sensitive scene.  Mess.

I hate physical tasks in TARLA because they killed some potential all F/F teams such as Ana Renata & Paula

Next time, teams will cook Cháo Hành (Onion Congee), a famous dish from a Vietnamese short story. Team members will roleplay Chi Pheo and Thi No, I think.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%AD_Ph%C3%A8o

When Chí Phèo woke up, it had been daylight. He felt tired out. He listened to acquainting sounds of daily life outside. He thought about the past, the present and the future and felt sad. He knew he was old but still lonely. At that moment, Thi No came in bringing a pot of hot onion soup. Chí Phèo was very surprised and moved because it was the first time he had been given something by a woman. He wanted to be honest. He hoped Thi No would reconcile him with everyone.

Hey guys! Saw the episode and have some questions before I do up all the Wiki stuff.

1. How many kg of firewood did teams need, and how man km did they need to carry it? (I believe they say both in the episode)
2. What kind of food was made in the Loaf Detour?
3. What exactly was that thing they made in the Hair Detour? (Made out of string? hair? What was it dipped in?)

I'm also curious about Team Cyan. Was Son Ngoc sick, or just exhausted? What were they talking/crying about before walking to the Pit Stop?

Thanks a lot!

1. 15kg each. However, if they said the right password (which they found about in the puzzle task, it's actually the man's name and name of his village), they have 1kg off each (14kg each). I'm not sure about km. I will re-check it. I watch it online last night so may be miss some details. Just remember they had to bring it to the man.
2. It's call Bánh Giầy. There are many kind of Bánh Giầy in Vietnam. This one is a special kind from Hà Nhì people.
3. It's kind of wig, not the real hair. I think it make from string. It's dyed by special herb mixture.
4. Team Cyan: During Wooden task, Mau Thuy took a lot of time to do the rope tie. Son Ngoc Minh wanted to help but Mau Thuy didn't want to so he was mad. From that moment, they rarely talked to each other (that's why in the SeeSaw task, you saw them sitting separately during Purple team's bickering). Before the Pitstop, Son Ngoc Minh apologized Mau Thuy and then water-work which I find so forcely drama and annoying.

1. 10 kg for female and 15 for male.

Son Ngoc Minh is a useless whiny crybaby boy, I don't know why he has a lot of fan girls.

Thus, next leg will be in Vu Dai Village, Ha Nam based on the short story Chi Pheo. I wish Richard & Mimi can finish higher.

Oh, I forgot to ask if the NEL penalty is still 30 minutes.

No. No money for next leg.

The photos don't fit the frames on the U-turn board! 

[doctor.nguyencaonhan]

The team that placed U-turn came to the pitstop after the team that was U-turned. Has it happened on any legs of The Amazing Race US yet? 

[BritishTARFan]

The team that placed U-turn came to the pitstop after the team that was U-turned. Has it happened on any legs of The Amazing Race US yet? 

It happened in Tar Canada 2 leg 8 in Paris when Pierre & Michel U-Turned Alain & Audrey, they arrived at the roadblock and it took Pierre or Michel 8 hours to complete! And Alain proposed to Audrey 

[Best Loser]

What the heck were all those penalties for?

It also happened in TAR Canada 1 leg 5 when Hal & Joanne U-turned Holly & Brett, but finished last and booted (Hal & Joanne was U-turned by Tim Sr & Tim Jr themselves)
