THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA 2021

[Columbo]

90 minutes is far too long for this type of show imo.

Not a bad episode. I like that it was unpredictable whether the Moms or the dancers would come last. Rookie mistake leaving your bags behind, I laughed so hard.

To be fair, I didn't even know there was an episode on last night until February was talking about the next episode, then it sunk in. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention. Last season it was a weekly episode if I remember correctly. Let's see how numbers shake up next Monday.

It was 3 episodes a week last year too. The show will now air Sun-Tue from this week instead of Mon-Wed.

90 minutes is far too long for this type of show imo.

Coincidentally, there was an interesting article published today about this:

Why are Reality shows pushed to 90 minutes? | TV Tonight

In the end, everything comes back to money....

It also mentions that apparently TAR is getting reduced to 60-minutes from now on. Or at least the Monday episodes will be.

The explanation is interesting but seems a bit silly to me in the long run. The shows in these time slots are aimed at children/families. Do people allow their children to stay up after 8.30 these days? I most certainly never did. My children watched NOTHING after 8.30 on a school night...no ifs or buts. AND to have such shows air on three consecutive nights would have had me relegating them to Friday and Saturday night catch up only.

I'm loving the background and history to some of these places. I've not heard of Palm Island before.

 

[Sephrenia]

I know about Palm Island because you can catch a ferry there from the same terminal as you catch a ferry to Magnetic island. I've been to Maggie Is several times but never Palm Island but agree that it does look interesting. My daughter-in- law's mother is teaching there atm...perhaps I should visit her?

I like Beau Ryan. He is a good compare, if that's what you call them these days.
Thought I'd share that!

 

[Sephrenia]

I don't know who Beau Ryan is really...but he seems likeable?

I didn't either, I had to Google him. I seem to remember doing that last year too.
He was a rugby player. I don't watch any of that so any of that is lost on me.

The mini scissors and grass cutting seems a pointless task! Surely they could think of something better for them to do!

The radio one was harder than it seemed.

It was like a bad joke and a bit cruel.

 

[Sephrenia]

Love Sefa and Jess...but I like most of them really.

 

[February]

My faves from the beginning are Jas and Anu, but they are All likable. No one I'd like to see go more than the others at this stage.

Sorry to see those two girls go, but someone had to.
And I'm off now. Catch up tomorrow.

Dolor and Holly are the only ones that I want to see go ASAP.

AGREED! Cannot stand them!

I have to admit, I lose interest in this show when it gets too long.
I usually end up doing other things on my phone/ipad and just have it on in the background.
It's got great casting, love seeing parts of our beautiful country we wouldn't normally see, but I'm having trouble staying connected to it!

AGREED! Cannot stand them!

I must admit they are my least favourites.
