THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA 2021

[Columbo]

I've noticed a few times that on the start of the show they have all the teams together. Doesn't that make whoever got there first in the previous episode kind of irrelevant and pointless?

I'm also in the 'on in the background' camp. They're really trying, but it's not a good season which is a shame.

It doesn’t always do that. Depending on the leg, previous positions often give advantages, eg. first taxi out, can slow another team down or give them some disadvantage. The time is not generally cumulative throughout the game from leg to leg, but you still tend to see the smarter teams getting ahead and the less savvy falling behind each leg.

Falling last in a non elimination round gives them a disadvantage of some kind like can’t speak together for the entire leg.

I am enjoying (what i'm watching) being all Australian.

Oh my God that one is confronting. Strapped in a plane under water.
Not sure I could do that without panicking!

Did the fish get put back?
Don't like the thought of anything dying in the name of a game!

Okay pause.
Watch the rest tomorrow.
Watched a bit more tonight than my phone!

What a turnaround episode. Looking forward to the next red center episode as thats a place I really want to visit.

We should be done and dusted in about 3 weeks yeh?

Scary for sure BUT not so scary for me as eating a whole Barra or trying to catch one! Yuck!

The stowaway twist would have to be one of the worst reality TV twists ever.

We're apparently looking at 24 episodes, which is completely absurd to me.

Yikes, more intruders and non elimination legs ahead!

Personally glad Dolor (pain) is still in the game lol.

Looking forward to Sunday and Cooper Pedi.

Nobody commenting on this any more.. What’s happened, have y’all deserted the show or what??

...have y’all deserted the show or what??

Absolutely.

I'm watching a day after at the moment.
I couldn't have gone down those Opal mines

 

[rj90]

I've bailed on it.. I just can't get into it.
I've also read something about teams being added in halfway through the race? No thanks.

Yep, two new teams have been added into the race.

Glad there’s a few of us still watching! But with so few of us live watching it turns into a graveyard huh!

I just love that it’s showing off our beautiful country. Seeing characters from Coober Pedi, that alone makes the whole show watchable for me.

Those muscle heads are interesting. I am looking forward to seeing how much brains those two brawny have in their heads.

My fav team at the moment is the nerd & princess couple. I know they have little chance of winning but I love seeing them do well.

I'm still watching (and enjoying) but on delay as I'm often not home from work in time to view it live.

I'm watching and enjoying it, but it's becoming a little formulaic to me. Every week we are seeing a normal leg on Sunday, a non-elimination leg on Monday and the Salvage/Sabotage leg on Tuesday. Do we really need to see a non-elimination leg and resulting Salvage/Sabotage every week?

Though I am enjoying seeing all the different places they are visiting and the tasks they are doing.
