Chickens, American Idol- Burkina Faso style, and a new twist in the race makes this episode of the race fantastic...
"Ron suffered a painful hernia. Teams traveled to Burkina Faso, where they had to milk a camel. Some teams coaxed camels into providing milk; others had more difficulty. Siblings Azaria/Hendekea quickly learned words during the DETOUR and came in first. Lorena/Jason caught up to Marianna/Julia, and they were neck and neck in the DETOUR. Lorena/Jason narrowly beat the sisters to the mat, and the sisters were eliminated. Eight teams remain. Who will be eliminated next? "

last post for today! :D
a short(?)info about the Amazing Race, for those who don't know it...
The Amazing Race is a
reality television game show in which teams
race around the world in competition with other teams. Contestants strive to arrive first at the end of each leg of the race to avoid the possibility of elimination. Teams are progressively eliminated until three teams are left; at that point, the team which arrives first in the final leg is awarded a large cash grand prize. Created by
Elise Doganieri and
Bertram van Munster, the
original series has aired in the
United States since 2001 and has earned seven
Primetime Emmy Awards, including all five "
Outstanding Reality-Competition Program" awards that have been given.
Contestants travel to and within multiple countries in a variety of transportation modes, including
planes,
taxis,
rental cars,
trains and
boats. The clues in each leg point the teams to the next destination or direct them to perform a task, either together or by a single member. Each task showcases the geographic region or indigenous culture and customs it is held in. If a team is in last place at the end of a leg of the race, they may be forced to stop competing or have a significant disadvantage in the following leg.
>to better know the race, you must know the elements of it:
Route Markers are the flags that mark the places where teams must go. Most Route Markers are attached to the boxes that contain clue envelopes, but some may mark the place where the teams must go in order to complete tasks.
Route Info clues instruct the teams where to go next. The clue usually only provides the name of the team's next destination; it is up to the teams to figure out how to get there. However, the clue may make specifications about how the teams have to travel. For example, the very first clue of the race specifies which flights teams may take. In addition, teams may be required to take public transportation, drive a marked car or other vehicle, or walk, according to the clue's instructions.
A
Detour presents the team with a decision between two tasks, "each with its own pros and cons", as described by host Keoghan. Teams are given several details about both tasks, but may need to travel a short distance by foot or car to the different task locations. One task is typically less physically demanding but is tedious or requires some amount of time or thinking to complete, while the other is usually a more physically demanding or frightening option that, depending on the team's ability, may take less time to complete. The decision on which task to attempt lies solely with the team. A team may choose to switch tasks as many times as they wish with no penalty other than the time lost in attempting the tasks and traveling between task locations. Because of this freedom to choose between tasks, the penalty for not completing either task is significant
The
U-Turn, introduced in
Season 12, is similar in format to the
Yield; however, it is always placed immediately after a Detour. The penalty differs from the Yield in that the affected team loses no specific amount of time, but must instead complete the Detour task which they did not just previously complete (hence, they must complete both). In implementation, it is quite similar to the Yield, having a large sign where the team choosing to apply the penalty places a large picture of the affected team, above a smaller picture of themselves; as well, no team may use the U-Turn more than once in the full Race. In its debut season, it was indicated there would be a total of two U-Turns through the entire race.
A
Roadblock is a task that only one team member may perform. Before heading into a Roadblock, teams read a vague clue about the task to come, e.g., "Who's really hungry?" (for an ostrich-egg eating challenge), or "Who wants to get down and dirty?" (for a task involving making mud bricks). Often, a team may figure out the specific task by observing their surroundings, using common sense, or even seeing other teams already performing the Roadblock task. They then must decide which team member would be best suited to complete it. Once a choice has been made, the teammates cannot switch roles.
The
Fast Forward allows the team that receives it to skip all remaining tasks on that leg of the race and proceed directly to the Pit Stop. To receive the Fast Forward, the team must be the first team to perform and complete the task described on the Fast Forward clue. The clue is found along with a regular clue at one of the Route Markers.
The
Yield, which was introduced in
Season 5, allows any one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. From
Season 6 onwards, when there was going to be a Yield, the teams would find the message "Caution, Yield Ahead" in their clue. To yield an opponent, a team places the picture of the team they wish to yield onto the Yield sign (found near one of the Route Markers). When the yielded team arrives at the Yield station, they must turn over an
hourglass found on the Yield sign and wait for all the sand to drain before continuing. It is suggested that this generally takes around 30 minutes.
The
Intersection, introduced in
Season 10, requires each team to pair up with one other team and perform all tasks and make decisions together until further notice. Should there be no other teams present when a given team arrives at the Intersection route marker, they must wait there until another team arrives, though they do not have to partner with that team and can opt to wait for another team instead. Teams are free to choose their partner team if multiple teams are present.
Race legsPit StopsPit Stops are the final destination in each leg of the race. Each Pit Stop is a mandatory rest period which allows teams to eat, sleep, and mingle with each other.
'SUPER LEGS'Season 6 introduced the first double-length "superleg" shown over two episodes. The televised episode ended with a 'To Be Continued' message instead of a Pit Stop. The second half of the leg featured a second Detour and second Roadblock
THE MATWhen teams arrive at the pit stop, all members must all step on the mat in front of Phil Keoghan ( host) and a local greeter that represents the country they are presently in .
Non-elimination legsEach race has a number of predetermined non-elimination legs, in which the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop is not eliminated and is allowed to continue on the race. Racers are not told in advance which legs are non-elimination legs.
'Double-elimination' legsSeason 10 introduced the first surprise elimination, when the last team to arrive at a checkpoint midway through the first leg was eliminated on the spot. At the end of the leg, there was a normal elimination at the mat, making it the first time two teams were eliminated in the same leg.
Final legThree teams compete in the last leg of the race. This first part of the leg includes intermediate destination(s) where the teams must travel to complete a series of tasks .
The second part of the leg has teams traveling to a final destination, usually located in a major
U.S. city. Remaining teams must complete one or more tasks before receiving the clue directing them to the Finish Line. At the finish line, host
Phil Keoghan and all the eliminated teams wait for the remaining teams to arrive.
The first team to reach the finish line wins the race and the top cash prize, which varies depending on the version of the show. All other teams win lesser amounts of money on a sliding scale based on their finishing order.
>>alam ko mahirap intindihin, pero the best way to understand it
...is to watch the show!! so manood na kayo,
it's a very nice show, and you can see different countries..!!
you can also feel the adrenaline rush when you watch the show...
...and it can also help you in your social studies class!!ehehe...
i can attest to that because if i didn't watch the Netherlands leg,
i wouldn't know it's capital!...and it's a part of the exam..
so i'm very thankful..hehehe..you can also see the diversed culture of the world..
and it also has drama, because of the diversity of the cast...
..a GOTH team, father/ daughter, grandson/ grandfather team, etc..
which proves to be very entertaining... :D
