Episode title quote source needed

Could someone source the info where the titles listed on the main page come from? The Amazing Race Asia 2 and 3 lack such titles and I'm leaning towards wishful thinking on some peoples part to get titles for the show onto wikipedia that may or may not be true.

Someone please post a source, if a source doesnt exist, the title quotes shouldnt be on the main article in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.1.234 (talk) 19:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Watching It

Is there any way to watch it online? Thanks. Anchorage 18:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can try TVUnetworks, inside still many more channel, include CBS channel. Remember the show time is 9PM (UTC +8). Cheers! --Aleen f1 23:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

it is also posted on the youtube website. Just search for amazing race asia--Irishboi 01:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The show looks alright in its first episode, though the host is no Phil Keoghan. --Madchester 17:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did notice that the host has picked up some of Phil's quirks while waiting at the mat. Overall it isn't bad at all. So far I'm convinced the world as a whole all speaks good english! Sabalon 03:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Title

So it is called "The Amazing Race Asia 1"? --Howard the Duck 10:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the main article is just The Amazing Race Asia, but this is created as the article for its very first season (to avoid cluttering). - 上村七美 | talk 12:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's called The Amazing Race Asia 1 because it's the first season of many, people naturally assumed at the time that itd get a second season renewal which it did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.1.234 (talk) 15:13, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roadblock Penalty

In the trivia section, it says that teams serve the 4 hours only at the Pit Stop. However, if I am correct this was the same case as when Hayden & Aaron quit the Roadblock in Season 6. You may have just referred to the penalty in Season 7 when teams also quit the meat Roadblock. In that case, the teams were penalized at the area where the Roadblock took place because other teams had not yet arrived and that their penalty would only start once other the next team came. However, in Hayden & Aaron's case, they served their penalty at the Pit Stop because all the teams had already started the task (and others completed it already) and that there were no more teams who would arrive to attempt the Roadblock. In Leg 3's case, all 9 teams had already started the Roadblock when the first team (Andy & Laura) quit. Therfore, the only place wher they could serve the penalty was at the Pit Stop. Comments?

yield?

go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QggfET5PEs&NR and at 01:21, it looks like he's holding up a yield thing, the numbers you pull to decide who's first there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.68.233.150 (talk • contribs) 06:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

No they were taking numbers to see who would do the roadblock in what order. They do this very often. Sandstorm6299 08:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated infos

Umm, I think we should edit some of the entries in the trivia section. Some of them are already included in the notes in the Results section and I can't imagine what makes them worthy of being in the trivia. --Destron Commander 14:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speeding

Is that the clue state that speeding will be penalised in leg 6 or any speeding will be penalised? If any speeding also penalised, this is differ to American version. Who know about this? --Aleen f1 17:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, speeding is implied to be illegal. If you remember Season 5, while plying on the South Luzon Expressway, the jeepney driver told Colin & Christie that over 100 (kph) is not allowed on the said road and had "no choice but to break the law" (probably because of the situation the two were in). Anyway, speeding is against the law in many countries, but being penalised, I don't know such a penalty. But you must not tell yet that the speeding penalty is not practiced in the American version becuase if there is such a penalty in there, no viewer knew about it since speeding incidents never occured there. - 上村七美 | talk 12:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the episode 5, season 2 in the American version, there exists penalty for speeding, though the so-called "speeding" is not really against the law. I think the penalty for speeding in this race follows the approach in the American version. 203.79.252.193 18:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leg title

I believe that the only case when there is a three country title is when it is a 3 country double length leg like The Amazing Race 9, or when it is a different country intermediate direction like The Amazing Race 5. Other than that, there is no three country leg titles such as The Amazing Race 3 Or The Amazing Race 8. Anchorage 13:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, see The Amazing Race 10 #Leg 12(Spain → France → United States), how the two version got? --Aleen f1 17:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leaderboard

Here is a new leaderboard...Looks much better then the one already used....Your decision to use it or not.....

No, using the image seems hard to update the results immediately, and hard to armend any wrong results. Also, i can't see any reason why we should put the average placing, that is really unfair to average the placing for teams who compete in one or two legs only. Also, the Yield still not in play until Leg 8, 4 or 5 legs left, who knows? --Aleen f1 05:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Average placing is really a fan creation... a way for them to gauge the "success" of a team. Let's not include self-made barometers or formulas, since it is ultimately fancruft and is essentially original research. --Madchester 18:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How is it unfair to do averages for teams that only competed in one leg? An average is an average. Simple as that. I just put the yield there because it is a template used from other leaderboards. Also, because it has been indicated on the TAR ASIA website that it will be in the show. I mean, this is the exact way it's done on CBS.com but that's fine.

It is mentioned in official website, but yet to shown in the show so far, all we can do just wait, i'm sure final 2 legs didn't have Yield (fair race), similar to TAR, so next 2 leg is vital. --Aleen f1 05:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Teams have discussed yields on the show, and as the editors have included these conversations we can probably assume that we'll see a Yield at some point. (Why you would have apparently only one yield, and so late in the show, is a mystery to me, but TAR Asia has not exactly been marked by good race design.) That said, I don't think this chart is significantly better than the current one used in all the other Wikipedia TAR articles, since the only thing it adds apart from an unwieldy image-based format is the statistically useless average. Props for doing the work on it, though. Fipe 13:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The table in the article is just fine really. Messing around with images is time consuming, especially when changes have to be made. As for averages, well I don't think it's needed. Besides, it would be best to be consistent with the other The Amazing Race articles. 리지강.wa.au 19:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Girl/Girl team to finish first in the race

I think we should mention this because it is a first for Amazing Race history. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.50.196.186 (talk) 03:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Memories episode

Should we add the Memories episode? If we do, that would bring the total number to 14, would it not? --Destron Commander 13:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I don't think so. It should be mentioned but not counted as an episode since it has a name of its own instead of just The Amazing Race Asia.

More general info needed

What differentiates this from the American version? Just where they go, or are the contestants required to be Asian? What contries are involved and where does it air? Did it achieve high ratings? Is another one in the making? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.118.189 (talk • contribs)

Aren't your first questions answered in The Amazing Race Asia 1 and The Amazing Race Asia? As for ratings and viewership info, I would like to see that, provided they are accompanied by reliable/verifable sources. Tinlinkin 02:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
