FTA-TV Race Across the World/TAR thread

[Crankyhawk]

I wonder how many people would be forced to quit jobs for survivor, amazing race etc. They don't go for that long but the short notice would have to piss some employers off.

One of my work colleagues was on Australian survivor she took unpaid leave I think (the doctor I forget her name)

I really enjoyed that. The tasks were good for a first episode and the teams are varied and likeable, except for one as of now. It certainly did not seem rushed like the American version does so often. Good pace.

Tonight was just like I was posting like I did for about 15 years on an American site during TAR. It was fun, but now I'm a bit homesick. I'll be going over there in a little while to brag about this version.

Dump the rugby guy. He just ain't got it.

Ok i was unaware.

So its a true story?

Based on a true story apparently - about the time Ford entered the Le Mans 24 hour race and ended up winning.

James may did a great doco about it on the grand tour

Which team did you think were unlikeable?
The social influencers? I actually like they were up front about cheating. It is refreshing to see. Hopefully they stay in the race for at least 4 to 5 legs to come because, having a villain team will make viewing more interesting.

I got the initial impression that the teams were very vanilla. You got to have team members that crack under pressure and chew the other team mate out when a mistake is made. Its all too cordial at the moment.

 

[Shell]

Yeah i dont really "hate" any team rn

YOu should have applied Rask

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Decided not watching, as what’s his name can’t host a show, he is so annoying

 

[raskolnikov]

Nah. I'd never live down any dumb mistakes with my students.

 

[raskolnikov]

I had a teaching colleague who went on The Weakest Link. He didn't know a very easy question. Well he said he did but just froze. The students gave him grief for ages.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Of course the first team eliminated is South Australian

They're queeny? I think they're quite masc. Don't have feminine voices
