I guess that lying and backstabbing on Survivor is necessary in order to create alliances, and to try not to get voted off.Quote:

It's nice to see all the places that they visit, and all the different languages and customs. Most of the tasks and challenges are entertaining/hilarious for the viewers.
For some reason though, some of the racers seem to think that Spanish is the universal language of the world. I remember that the racers were speaking Spanish to people in Cambodia.
I would say, however, that TAR does have its nasty moments. Some racers are rude to the locals, and are constantly running up and down the street yelling: "Does anyone speak English?! Why doesn't anyone speak English?!" and "Why won't anyone help us?!" and "I hate this country!" I think that it's shows like this that give Americans a bad reputation overseas.
^ I agree, that's really rude. One of the reasons I don't watch. Like I want to see people behaving badly *frown*
^ Well, it's only a small fraction of the racers who are rude. Most of them try to be courteous. Some of them even learn a few words and phrases in different languages.
In TAR1, a racer said: "You have to approach people in an affable, friendly way! You don't do it like you're in New York!"
It's a shame that some racers in subsequent races don't heed that advice. I'm sure that more people would be willing to help you if you were nice to them, rather than accosting them.
^ Funny thing though, people in NY don't really talk like that, it's a stereotype. Once in a while you run into those types, but often people are quite helpful. One time I was on the subway platform, a girl fell right onto the tracks, I think she passed out. A guy immediately jumped down right onto the tracks to get her, no knowing even if any trains would pull into the station. He really risked his life to save her. That's a real life Superman Hero :)
^ That particular racer is a New Yorker, so I don't know if he was being truthful or sarcastic.
I'm sure that New Yorkers are nice people :) I was focusing on the "You have to approach people in an affable, friendly way!" part.
^ well this one is :)
you do wonder how much of that stuff is an act just for the tv....
^ Well, all reality TV is somewhat scripted. But I think that the comments that the racers make are candid. Unfortunately, a few of those candid comments can be quite offensive, but most of them are comical.
Here are two of the more comical ones: "Donkeys have souls, too."
Guy: "Who's my girl?"
Girl: "You are. No, I am."
^ :lol: that's hysterical.
reminds me of the people in Jaywalking on Jay Leno
^ Maybe you'll watch TAR when it starts on September 27 for more comical moments :)
^ haha maybe....... ;)
That particular episode aired on September 2.Quote:

^ Don't worry, you didn't miss anything :). The dancers didn't return. The routines were simply re-aired.
Whaa? That's lame!!Quote:

I was happy to see two of Mark's dances featured, although I'm not really a fan of "Bleeding Love." However, I absolutely love "The Garden."
I love The Garden too! Also, I love Hip Hip Chin Chin!
^ You should participate in the "TV dance shows" thread. It's only been me and Haunted posting back and forth, LOL.
