What do you think of it? ETA: Judging from the intro, I think they'd once AGAIN go to New Zealand (Sandy bungee jumping), South Africa (the jumping African girls), Dubai (Mardy & Marsio on top of the camel)... I can't remember the other places anymore. Last Edited By: wakwakwak 09/12/08 4:19 AM. Edited 1 times.

I haven't seen your comment about the first episode yet... What do you think of it? Well, I felt it started off quite well. The bug-eating was great, the bus-washing wasn't bad despite being a repeated product placement task since it was different and much more challenging. I didn't really like the whole unbalanced fluctuations of placings though. It's like Henry & Bernie finished the bugs and left in 1st place but arrived at Caltex in 9th place and then left in 1st place again. Kinda crappy if you ask me. The reasons for the fluctuations should be shown clearly. After that, the whole search the dark cemetery with the bus leaving at 20 mins interval thing wasn't really that enjoyable to watch since the first bus and second bus only had 2 and 1 team(s) respectively. Perhaps they should've changed it to the first 5 teams on Bus 1, the next 5 teams on Bus 2. After that, it was quite okay. Detour was pretty good and pit-stop with Paula was a nice touch. Good team to eliminate as well. Anyway, it's too early to judge the season but so far, it's looking good... Current ranking of the 9 remaining teams (in terms of my personal preference) 01 - AD & Fuzzie (hoping for them to get more airtime, loving them so far, as expected. PLEASE SURVIVE AT LEAST TILL MID-RACE!) 02 - Henry & Bernie (liking both of them a lot for some reason. Henry's a pretty cool guy and these two really just make me wanna root for them.) 03 - Natalia & Pailin (definitely impressed me on this first leg. Love their spirit and hope they go far! So far, so good...) 04 - Ida & Tania (fun to watch and their whole "no-luxury shock" is hilarious so far but I hope it doesn't get old soon. Hope these two go far too) 05 - Geoff & Tisha (Geoff is starting to be just a little annoying but Tisha is AWESOME. I like her a lot. She knows what she wants and she seems to be leading the team. Girl power FTW!) 06 - Mai & Oliver (Their fight was interesting and they do remind me a little of Flo/Zach. Pretty competent in Leg 1 but I'd like to see how they do outside their home country. Still rather confused about how I feel about them. The next few legs will be critical for how much I like/hate them and whether Mai's incompetence or Oliver's "craziness" will turn me off...) 07 - William & Isaac (they're just okay but still boring, as predicted from Racers Revealed. Nice guys though.) 08 - Sam & Vince (big disappointment on Leg 1, expected much more from them. Quite boring and didn't do that well race-wise) 09 - Niroo & Kapil (I love the Dad but all in all, they're the least competent and least interesting. Son is a COMPLETE snoozefest.)

The girl is spoiled, dependable, complainer. beauty queens - not complainers which is good. but have to see more of them Meh Isaac/ Williams - annoyingly nice, like the Chos Vince/Sam - cant really judge them in any way yet Indian father son - cant really judge them in any way yet as well Dislike Bernie/Henry - So far, I didnt like them, especially the "I never failed ever" Geoff/ Tisha - Geoff reminds me of Linz brothers, which is a bad thing. Tisha = meh Indian cousins - wow the sister was rude as hell to the locals. faster faster go why dont you go faster fast fast oh my god fast fast

From all the forums I visited, I've never read any bad reviews yet. Thanks TARA3 for such a great premiere episode. I could honestly compare this one to TAR12's premiere (my favorite from all the 12 US seasons). And wow! Next week's preview promises even more action! - Tania & Ida calling Geoff the "Black Spiderman" - Henri crying on Bernie's shoulder - The beauty queens saying "this is toughest thing we've done" And many more...

Yes.... but every season has recycled footage and that doesn't mean that they will be freaking going to the recycled-footage place. Geeeeeez And the BQs say that "this is the worst thing that could happen to us on the race"

For the love of God, I sure hope you weren't referring to The Forum That Shall Not Be Named. I personally didn't think the episode was all that great (it was just okay). The production and logistics team were clearly slacking if we were to judge solely on the tasks on this episode. I mean sure, the washing bus task was different.. but other than the exchange between the cars and the bus, how is this different from the task from season 1? Even the CALTEX settings are identical. They could've been more creative. And the bug eating challenge was good.. however, if you know there'd be ten teams bunching at that same place, couldn't they provide more than just two tables at that place, to spread the teams out a little? At least for better camera angle? Geez. (although I did love all the puking action that was shown). As for the teams, I think we're seeing slightly more interesting characters this year.. so I still have good hopes for this season.

She comes off incredibly dorky too, which is probably why I like her and Ida so much. Perhaps this was just leg one excitement that will wear off when killer fatigue hits.

Posts: 15902 (09/13/08 11:56 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I just watched the premiere. The torrents are out there already. I thought it was a good opener. Very different vibe from this cast (and of course, the lack of you-know-who). Nobody is obnoxious. Usually from the first episode, you can tell who's going to be the annoyance of the season, but so far, I can stand all of them. Surprised that the first leg is an elimination leg. LOVE Mai and Oliver - I was totally on the mark with my Flo/Zach description. Oliver carrying BOTH their backpacks and then Mai thinking of QUITTING the race on the first leg considering that they got FIRST PLACE. This is one team to watch for trainwreck moments. (and I thought they're going to be the "zen" team ) Geoff and Tisha - They showed a lot of personality. They seem very nice. Very kind of them to give the first place to Mai/Oliver. Ida and Tania - "My maid is going to be proud" They are out of their element but they have good chance of making it very far. LIKE Pailin and Natalie - This team showed a lot of personality as well. Very nice and don't seem too cutthroat like the USA BQ's. I had to laugh at Natalie's "raccoon eyes" during the bus-washing task. AD and Fuzzie - Another team that's totally out of their element. Glad they pulled through. William and Isaac - Another nice team. Boring. But I prefer them over the best friends for some reason. MEH Sam and Vince - They have comedic potential but they haven't made much of an impression on me. Niroo and Kapil - The son is always hyper and angry. The dad is alright. I like listening to their accents when they're panicky. Henry and Bernie - Boring Neena and Amit - Pre-show, I correctly predicted them as the first team to be eliminated. I was right. No big loss. DISLIKE None yet
