What the fuck is up with this aspect ratio? It's 4:3 instead of 16:9.

Wish I was home to get it but stuck at work

BTW for those TAR fans out there TAR Asia 3rd season just started as well.
Just search "amazing race asia" in mininova. A double dose of TAR a week
And it's just as good as the american one as well IMO, it's all in english as
well.

Yeah I have watched the first 3 Episodes of the TAR Asia and have enjoyed it as
much as the american one. All the same elements but i think a few harder tasks
and journeys! Esp an eating challenge straight up and 23 hr bus journey in
vietnam. Also that Geoff is a real tool! Worth a watch to see him carry on like
a pork chop.

Most of the tasks in TARA are repeated from previous seasons. I'm sure there's
been an eating task in all 3 seasons, and it's usually in BKK that they have
it.
That geoff guy is a real tool, gotta agree with that, but Tisha is damn fine.

I enjoy watching The Amazing Race Asia, but it definately doesn;t compare to
the original. We need a TAR-Europe.

yeah dont get me wrong i love the original to, but they had an eating test in
episode 1 and looks like another eating challenge in ep 4 coming up. Thats more
than any americans or myself ( aussie ) could ever muster up the courage to do.
I do enjoy how the contestants on TAR Asia compare to USA. What they need to do
for this and Survivor is do an International one. Now wouldnt that be awesome? I
am suprised that they havent tried an international one with people all over the
world. Would be a very interesting dynamic

What? Since when was TAR ever in 16:9...
The new Season of Survivor is now in widescreen.


The Amazing Race is only good with American's in it.
Watching them scratching their heads trying to pronounce something like Reykjavik is hilarious.
Their lack of worldliness & over confidence/arrogance makes for fun viewing...

ie paraphrased version: 'Doesn't anyone speak English here? Stupid people''... lol priceless.

I dont disagree, they certainly pick from sterotypical demographics but in
addition to the US season, why not go international with a mixed bag. They tried
US families and for me that was a disaster, watching households cave in on
themselves and trying to listen to a family of americans all talking at once,
was freaking annoying.

I just watched the first TAR America and this season theres no one i remotely
even like thus far. Usually i can barrack for someone

Yeah Amazing Race Asia is definately making the race alot harder for their
contestants. The long racing is definately different from the American concept
of allowing the teams to bundle up at certain points during the first leg so
they can converse and get to know one another.
The US version definately goes more into the relationships and team rivalries.
I'm always waiting for some funny nicknames to pop up in the first or second
ep.

Did anyone watch the Amazing Race Asia "Racers Revealed" episode? That Kent
and Vixen team from season 12 of TAR applied, part of their audition video was
shown.

I guess an International version of the show we all love wouldn;t be plausable
due to the tv rights. I was going to say it would be a tough job casting, but
then it wouldn;t be as tough as planning the actual race itself. They need to
do an international version, even if half of the teams are American, it would
stil be a good concept to see.
