But the show itself, people were saying there wasn't enough self driving or the teams were all always clumped up on the same flight. This year, you can expect none of that to really happen.

I thought there was plenty of self-driving...

The flights thing I agree with.

What I HATED where the stupid 'order-determining' tasks, like the bungee jump. They formed a line for the Roadblock and checked in in the exact same order as when they finished! If you're going to do that, arrange it so it doesn't determine the order of check in. Roll Eyes

Is there a special way of introducing the new season of "TARA"?

We're going to have a special episode before the actual premiere of the first leg of the race. It's called Racers Revealed and it gives the audience the chance to get more familiar with the racers before they actually start competing on the show. In that show, there's a good chance they're going to show some of these audition tapes so in the future, people will have a better idea of what it takes to be in the show.

Instead of a recap episode, I think this is a good idea. We get to see some previews instead of recaps.

From wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race_Asia_2

From a Channel NewsAsia interview on 1st October 2007, Allan said that there are teams this time that get hopelessly lost, which results in huge difference in check in time and the participants this time are much more motivated than the previous season's and do things such as cutting queues in customs and requesting their taxi drivers to exceed the speed limit to surge ahead.

Or maybe not, I'll just go to Amarillo's house and watch it live and have a reason to stay overnight at his house too. :laff:

The Amazing Race Asia 2 - Racers Revealed - A One Hour Special
THE SHOW
"RACERS REVEALED" is an all-access pass to the official racing teams for The Amazing Race Asia season 2

The overwhelming success of the first season of The Race, which was seen, heard and discussed in newspaper, magazines, on radio, TV, in Internet forums and around water coolers across Asia inspired the producers to create this Exclusive Special.

The world's most exciting reality TV race in Asia last year drew an estimated viewing audience in excess of 15 million per episode, from all over the region - Singapore, Japan, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

As soon as the word was out that The Amazing Race Asia was racing for a second time the AXN offices were flooded with applications, the adventurous, the young, the fit, the not so fit; doctors, IT specialists, models - they all wanted to take part in the race of a lifetime and from thousands of entries only 10 teams were chosen.

"RACERS REVEALED" gives you the viewer the opportunity to find out which of the 2500 applicants will pit their wits against unforeseen circumstances, match brawn with brains and represent their country for the ultimate Glory of Racing the Race of a life time.

Across the hour we discover who answered yes to the call of the Race and who will be taking the first step towards the finishing tarmac. Via personal interviews with each team we find out what it takes to be an Amazing Race Asia contestant.

YOU WILL MEET the team with a secret weapon that will create race history even before the race starts; the team member who shocked his family and the racer who won "FEAR FACTOR ASIA" and now has their sights set on winning the "THE AMAZING RACE ASIA"

"RACERS REVEALED" will allow us to understand what it takes to be top of the pack and be selected for The Amazing Race Asia series 2 - the world's greatest race!!!
