At least A/K were probably gone anyway, but they still could've passed the midgets. U-Turn was just stupid there. Hell, it's just stupid overall. It sucks that Amanda/Kris had to get eliminated by that fucking U-Turn.

They had the money drama at the end with Mark/Michael having to pay their taxi driver and that left somewhat of a question to who was coming in last.

Mission accomplished - a strong team was targted and taken out. Meaning an all-girl, disability, minority, or oldster team is gonna win. Last Edited By: craig 03/08/09 7:22 PM. Edited 1 times.

IT'S NOT THE SAME SHOW, IT'S A SPINOFF. I really don't get why people who watch it are so fucking defensive about this shit. And this is actually a situation where it's fine to bring it up. What pisses me off is when people say shit like "OMG TAR HAS HAD A F/F TEAM WINNER!11111111!" No, it hasn't. Amazing Race Asia has. This isn't that complicated. But what do I know I'm E T H N O C E N T R I C !!!!

I've got fond memories of folks complaining that the U-Turn was always positioned so that it had no net effect on the Race. So for any of you who've ever thought that, this was your Karma.

Both can be watched and enjoyed separately, though most people would probably like both and consider one essential viewing for fans of the other. But you don't put Daphne Moon in a conversation about your favorite Cheers characters, because she was never on Cheers! I just don't get it. Fans of no other show do this. When Louie wants to do a Bulgarian Idol ranking, he does it. He doesn't talk about how much he hates Porjcka Krooyasroycs in an American Idol thread. This is confirmed racist UKK again signing off.

Just delayed the inevitable. I was expecting it to be a NEL though, just so we could get the near-eliminated team accusing everyone of UTurning them except the team that actually did it.

(and fwiw, combining TARA and TAR means I can say that the show has had 4 decent winners rather than 2. It's more of a coping mechanism than anything) (fwiw 2, that being said, wouldn't all of this fit into a discussion of the series as a whole?)

Just because there's no bunching doesn't mean it's a crappily planned leg (Ep #6 of TAR3 is well thought out too, it's not the planners fault they didn't account for Aaron/Arianne falling ridiculously far behind).

It's the farthest thing from being relateable.
