hey!

Does everyone here speak Hebrew? If not, how do you understand what the contestants are saying? do you have subtitles?

Boy, I get this question a lot. I personally feel you don't need to speak the language to watch any version of The Amazing Race. As long as you understand what the tasks are (usually through Wikipedia), it's still an enjoyable time even if you don't know what anybody is saying. The essence of travel, beautiful destinations, and exciting tasks are still there. Not to mention they usually speak a lot of English when out and abroad, trying to communicate with foreigners.

Furthermore, all Israeli TV is subtitled with Hebrew text. With the help of an online Hebrew keyboard and Google Translate, I can stop and translate anything I really want to know the meaning of.

Ok,You can ask me if there'ss something you don't understand

I'm back and just caught up with the last 4 eps thankfully!
I just saw their Instagram that their next episode will be this Monday after the news (usual time IDT).

Show content
On the last leg in Amsterdam: omg Vova & Alla whyy~ they're lost on their way to Pit Stop but that task- hopefully the pre-Pit Stop this time doesn't go that way but idk. But things are getting hotter omg, any wild inference I should explain on

This latest ep (ep11, the first part of this Armenian leg) made me think that there's something between Omer & Netta and Ash & Alis, but I still have to understand why and on how. Meanwhile, I started to remember (after watching the Amsterdam leg's pit stop) this sad fact back on season 5, that time when Yael & Yosiel was first on the Vietnam leg, they were last on the Cambodian leg. Hopefully not this time around~ then on the start of this leg I thought there's sth between them and Shay & Shani (another deal? idk?) but Yael & Yosiel ended up yielded. No one can stop them hopefully I believe.

MEANWHILE... Eviatar, why again why-

I always like when HaMerotz goes to countries not often visited across the franchise- remember how season 4 went to Georgia before TAR28 did? Or how season 2 had a brief stop in Bosnia that no other version has done? And of course the recent first-time visits to Kyrgyzstan and Nepal? I like how it's not all recognizable countries.

The past two episodes really want to remind viewers that the Kardashians have Armenian heritage.  :funny:

The task was to recreate a family photo of the Kardashians. Teams were given a 'shopping' list of items needed to recreate the photo. Stuff such as lamps, a carpet, stuffed animals...but also on the list were the five people who would take the place of the Kardashians in the picture. All of these items, including the live human beings, needed to be borrowed from locals who live in the nearby apartment skyrises. One of the people needed was a female over the age of 60. Shay & Shani found a lovely old woman and brought her down to the holding area, but they still needed more items so they gave her a blanket and asked her to wait for them. When they came back, they found the old lady helping Ash & Alice instead. Unless I misunderstood, Ash & Alice basically poached their old lady by asking her to come help them.

Shalom! This day was very fun to do. I was booked via a casting agency. Originally, the filming was planned in the Museum van Loon (the museum werd contestants had to study) but as it is a small museum and other visitors were in the museum, we moved to The Grand Hotel. There were two separate rooms for the TAR filming, one for the contestants to prepare their guests with all the answers and the other one for me to question them. They litterally picked passers-by in the streets. One of these guys they took  out of a coffeeshop. He had a bit of trouble answering the questions as his mind was off but in the end he did okay. All the TAR couples were a joy to meet! Very enthousiastic and funny. Between taping I talked a lot with the cameraman. He told me about his life in the peaceful country side where he lives and the always present state of awereness people live in. I have never been in Israel and we see reports of your country in the news, but hearing the stories of the cameraman it came very close. This day had been the best experience in casting so far  Thank you all for helping me out with the episodes! Enjoy the rest of the season! Greetings from Amsterdam, Dave

The three season Vizel dynasty has come to an end.

I was wondering if they were going to do a task based off of Noah's Ark. Also, no luck task this leg.

Gili & Tali forgetting there were 9 teams for a beat.  :funny:

Dear Lord. Lucky that Ben, Ori, and their film crew weren't injured.

On a lighter note, at least no one was hit in the head with a cabbage. What is it with this season and reusing TAR US's tasks?

Bull****.

Liane has hurt her hand or her wrist or whatever, and the doctor says she can't compete in the Head-to-Head. The challenge is to balance on a rolling log as if it were a horse, two team members fight, then the other two team members fight, followed by a tiebreaker. Since Liane can't do it, Eviatar has to do it alone, giving the team an unfair advantage as Liane probably doesn't have good balance and would have lost.

Let me take you back to season 4. Alexa badly hurt her leg on that season, and then she and Raz came to a task where they had to roll on a log in the water. Alexa obviously cannot do this task, so Raz has to do it alone. But they had to serve a 1-hour penalty before he could.

Also in season 4, let me take you back to the likes of Roni & Yael and Gal & Liel. Both teams had one member hurt themselves during a Head-to-Head and could no longer compete in it. In both of those cases, the teams forfeit the Head-to-Head and had to wait until all other teams passed them and then serve the 15-minute penalty.

Eviatar & Liane should have forfeit their Head-to-Head and ended up in last place. Bull****.

What's also bull**** is the number of 4-episode legs this season. Last season was so short, what happened? Did people not like it? I did!
