Title: The Amazing Race Philippines 2
Post by: sardaukar on Oct 30, 2012 at 09:29 AM
The Amazing Race Philippines started last night. I should have known it but like Survivor it's going to be 5 half-hour shows a week (may Saturday pa nga ba?)

I was actually interested in watching this mainly to see the sights but having to wade through 2.5 hours of what should be a 1 hour show--on a nightly basis--is really turning me off. Annoying.

Oo, magkakaroon ka ng mga araw na walang nangyayari. Malamang mga sigawan at drama lang. :P

so parang 3 full episodes per week lalabas?

Post by: sardaukar on Oct 30, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Hindi ako sure pero parang ganon intindi ko. Around 2.5 hours of show per week. Pero 1 elimination lang per week. So malamang:

Monday - start of leg (probably airport or travel to new city)
Tuesday - detour or roadblock
Wednesday - sigawan/drama
Thursday - road block or detour
Friday - pit stop/elimination.

 :o

So if any team takes a 4-hour penalty for not completing a task, they can use a complete 30-min episode to show all the crying and the drama and the waiting and the blaming.  hehehe.

When I saw the promo stating that it would air SIX (yes, not five) days a week, I immediately decided not to watch this show.

It's November sweeps in the States. Basically every show is airing new episodes. There's no way to insert 3 hours more TV programming into my schedule.
Title: Re: The Amazing Race Philippines
Post by: sardaukar on Nov 09, 2012 at 09:21 AM
Well the good news is the second elimination happened in just 3 episodes. And looks like 3 episodes also for the third elimination. The bad news is it's now pushed back past 930. Kainis. May mga teaser pa na lumalabas ng mga 920 saying watch Amazing Race Philippines later at 9pm. Galing.

I know I said I wouldn't watch it, but I have been, and it's actually not bad. 1.5 hours per show is turning out to be pretty manageable (maybe 65-70 actual minutes per ep) with pit stops every Tuesday and Friday.

Dami lang hindi yata nagbasa ng rules. Si Dani kagandang babae pa pangit ng pa pangit dahil sa ugali. She's not handling the stress of the race very well. But it's fun to watch her meltdown, hehe. Shades of Flo.

If you want to try and follow just set an alarm for 9:25pm and make sure you're doing something else while waiting for the actual show to start (it's happened as late as 9:45pm) because Willie can get very annoying.

Wala siguro, hehe. Pero may replay daw for the week sabi ni Paulusreef 10pm Sunday. If you catch the one tomorrow, you would have only missed the first 3 pit stops. Pit stop 4 and 5 were this week.

parang ok naman pala itong TARP...pwede na...
Title: Re: The Amazing Race Philippines
Post by: Mr. Hankey on Nov 18, 2012 at 11:57 PM
Caught the Sunday replay, it just ended.

Nice, it has very minimal commercials. Probably 5-6 minutes of commercials total over the past 2 1/2 hours.

Winner of a leg gets PHP 200,000? Neat!

So may new Sunday habit na ako. Okay lang Sunday is lean day for torrents. ;)
Title: Re: The Amazing Race Philippines
Post by: sardaukar on Nov 19, 2012 at 08:22 AM
Ang disproportionate ng prize ng individual leg/race winner compared sa TAR, no? Sa U.S. usually 1% (1M for the winner and 10k per leg). Dito 10% (2M for the winner and 200k per leg). I think it would have been better kung 3M yung prize ng winner and 100k per leg. Para naman mas maganda ang reward ng race winner.

They're using exactly the same tasks used in the Philippine leg of Season 2 of The Amazing Race: Australia. This week, they had the greased pig catching challenge, next week, they have the infamous "use bamboo, drums and ropes to build a raft and row across Misibis Bay" challenge. LOL
Title: Re: The Amazing Race Philippines
Post by: BusyChild on Nov 27, 2012 at 04:26 PM

Happy with the result, but the show went out with a whimper. Nothing exciting about the final leg, after the first task, every team was practically doing a different task at each given time. No chance of any team overtaking another one.

They should rethink the final leg tasks next season to make it more exciting.

And someone should tell Derek Ramsay that when a team of two wins The Amazing Race, they're the winnerS. Plural. :D

Reviving this thread because TARP 2 started today. I thought it would start at 7:30 pero 7 pala so I missed most of it. Anyone know if this will have a Sunday marathon like the first season?

Yesterday's "race against another team and win to get your clue" was so unfair. No matter what your rank was, if running was the weak point of either member, you would automatically fall to last place. It was just wrong.

There hasn't been a task on TAR where you had to directly compete (and beat) another competitor to move on, no?

I like the non-straightforward tasks (the ice challenge and the pse challenge). At least hindi siya puro "go here." Kaya lang baka dapat may rule na sila na you cannot help a fellow competitor. Para sariling sikap sila and not because magaling ka lang makiusap o makipagkaibigan. Masyadong mabait ang pinoy, eh. Kahit pareho na silang last place, nagtutulungan pa rin. ::)

I was thinking that, too. It gets really annoying to see one team struggle, then have everyone just whispering what to do after.
Title: Re: The Amazing Race Philippines 2
Post by: Mr. Hankey on Oct 11, 2014 at 09:32 AM
It's one task per episode, and tonight we have one full episode of people just making their way to the pit stop?

Jeez, they really need a good editor who can do an hour-long summary show for the week.

The pit stop episodes are lame. They need to rethink this. In the first season, only the first leg was 5 episodes long. All the other legs were only 3 episodes each. They should go back to that.

I'm really not on board with the every-team-votes-for-the-U-Turn scheme. It's so easy to gang up and work to eliminate the strongest team. And there should at least be a rest week for the U-Turned team/s where they're exempted from the U-Turn after having done one.

Mr. Hankey, anong nasagasaan ni Matt? Di ko narinig. O di ba sinabi?

Hindi sinabi. Yinakap lang niya yung mamang naperwisyo niya.

I'm about to give up on this show. Most of the tasks are wait-for-your-turn tasks, so the chance of any team improving their ranking by doing a task fast is almost zero. At sobra rin dami ng "Needle in a haystack" challenges. No skill required, just luck.

But I'm glad nainis na yung producers sa helping out other teams by whispering the answer after you solve it, at malinaw na pinagbawal in the last clue. Haha!

BTW, kahapon ko lang nalaman, 5 at 6 eps na pala ang TAR at Survivor! Di ko alam, walang nagbukas ng thread, haha!

Okay lang yan. Kung TAR-Philippines, 6 episodes a week, napapanood mo, e di kayang kayang habulin yan, one week lang. :P

That might have been the most boring finale in the history of this franchise. Two of the last challenges were "wait your turn" challenges, giving no team any chance to overtake a team in front of them. And editing the tasks so it seems they're doing a task simultaneously when you never see any teams together in the same frame is just insulting to the viewer.

But the strongest team won, and the runners up were the teams that seemed like they needed the prize money, so okay lang.

that was really bad, dami namang magandang mapupuntahan dito, doon pa sila dinala ... kahit sa Makati man lang sana ... hopefully they stay in the Philippines for the next episode and punta naman sila sa Palawan or other tourist sites in the Philippines, that's what they did on season 5

TAR makes the contestants experience the culture of the country they visit (most of the times), and as much as we hate it, what TAR showed was true: naked children left to fend on their own in the middle of the streets, garbage dump in a vacant lot, tricycles and pedestrians everywhere, etc.

TAR just showed us a big mirror. This country has a lot of improvement to do to lift its image.

I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I miss the shrill shriek of "CHEFFFF!," the Brit-accented "Babe!," and the stupid boys shouting "Boom!" and singing/dancing like idiots at the pit stops.  ::)

Yna went up their room to tell them to look at the view since it was a beautiful night. Matt told her she should get lost, she was a hypocrite, pretending to be their friend when they Yielded them. Jet tells him not to talk to his sister that way. Matt starts shoving Jet repeatedly, and eventually makes a fist. The siblings retreat, Yna is hysterical crying since "Hindi kami sumali sa Amazing Race para tulak-tulakin." LOL

what I mean is that the contestants should be able to enjoy the country like what they did on some other stages, not to hide the reality ... people usually travel to other places to enjoy what's good ... first time they went here, they almost plied the same route, but they had another stage in Palawan which the contestants really liked - our tourism department was involved at that time

the detour where they played basketball in the last leg was where I grew up - J. Bocobo, Malate, Manila ... we also played basketball in the exact same area, but the ring was on the other side of the road, and the board just attached to a tree :)
theres a dentist there in that area.

Our unofficial frat house when I was in med school at UPCM was also on that street. I got drunk there A LOT in the 1990s.  ;D

My Manila-based historian friend clarified the error: The pit stop was actually at Baluarte de San Diego, also in Intramuros. Mukhang nahalo nila yung Fort Santiago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Santiago) sa Baluarte de San Diego (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baluarte_de_San_Diego).
