Number 2, 1st pitstop

not bad, not bad at all

definitely not bad. They were racing in a country which was not their homecountry against two teams with homecountry advantage and they finished 2. Not bad at all. Maybe they were strong, but we will see

I don't think it's an advantage for Ivan and Hilda though. Since they live n Sarawak and not in Semenanjung Malaysia like Ethan and Khairie does ~..

Anyway, congrats to Rich and Rich.. I was hoping for them to be first though ~

in some ways there were still advantages for Ivan & Hilda. As Malaysians, they speak the language, that's a huge factor

exactly, the advantage is not only the possibility that they know where the place is without having to ask directions to the local. Language is a big factor

Anyway, so it's not gonnabe aired online in the web now. I hope AXN will still upload it online though, hahaha

The Riches seems prone to getting lost though

Poor sense of direction? Or they are still getting the hang of it? hehe

I hope the latter. But in Epi 1 seems like the former.I remember them saying they got pretty good information about the next destination and got pretty good instructions on how to get there but they still lost

Well i just hope that this perceived flaw will not cost them the race.....

well, this might be one weakness of them, but they have other strengths (like physical fitness) to "cover" this one, hahaha

poor sense of direction? oh, that's bad esp. in this race where they have to navigate themselves to the next destination.

well, every weakness is "bad". Let's say, a team doesn't have a physical fitness. That can be bad for them if the task is so physical (and there are many tasks in TAR(A) which are physical).

yeah, i think Hilda will find the physical challenges difficult based on her performance on episode 1.

Don't underestimate Hilda. She's a tough cookie! hehe

TARA or no TARA, for real, i think men don't like to ask directions much so that could be why LOL

Why people kept associating winning with their advantages playing at homecountry. The country are massive, and everyone are not living everywhere too.

Many team lost at their homecountry or homecity. It just a matter of luck, strategy and games. Are you saying Ivan and Hilda won becoz they stay in Malaysia while the game featuring Malaysia. What about not completing the task that made the NON HOMECOUNTRY teams been penalised by 4 hours?. And not to mention Khairie and Ethan came out last, but they chose to complete the task and not taken the panelty.

Please dont underapprecited the homecountry team effort. If your theory are right, I am waiting to see if any teams will win at their own homecountry, and I dont think it will take too long. The teams will definitely go to Phillipine, India, Singapore, Indonesia etc..etc.. in their next leg.
But I bet, its nothing to do with the place, unless you have not really watching all the TAR and TARA past seasons and learn their lesson..: D

and I would like to request you to read another similar topic that has been discussed before

We have discussed this before, and we made a point that having a homecourt advantage does NOT mean team will necessarily win the leg. But still, they have the advantage over the other team, at the very least: they speak the language and that is a massive edge!!

And you might be interested in this trivia: NO team in TARA has ever been eliminated in their home country

hi guys!!

yeah we understand that it isn't but anyways, as for TARA, i think the sentiment here, mine personally is that, can AXN or will AXN ever hold a pit-start where it is neutral? meaning not a home-country for any of the racers? your point taken, still, i find it'd be interesting to see a pretty even start for everyone, just to make things interesting a bit

you have a point but come on, you can't deny the fact that there is a homecourt advantage, if you may, no matter how minor it is.
