Route Markers

Channel seven has updated their website with a glossary of route markers - route info's, roadblocks, detours, non-elimination legs with a description of the Marked for elimination penalty, yields, u-turns and the express pass. As a result I've included those back into the page. Ovalorange (talk) 06:21, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Separate article into seasons?

I was wondering if it's alright to separate it into seasons (e.g. The Amazing Race Australia 1)? 115.64.53.181 (talk) 12:12, 23 May 2011 (UTC) This format would be similar to the US and Asia.

Probably a bit premature at this stage. Would be best until a 2nd season is announced. smjwalsh (talk) 14:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Legal rules on my edit

1. do not phish leg 8 on The Amazing Race Asia 4 when during leg 1. all the task and some sequence, locations, and rules are phishingly the same. do not say that. 2. For that penalty note, it is super strongly recommended to look at the Latin Version's season 1, Asian version season 3, American version season 10 and 18, and infact i hate to see this vandalised nor removed. we dislike that. this rule is applied at 14 feb 2011. 3. i hate to make myself being noted, but i will say keep this at once. thanks you so much (Singaporeandy (talk) 14:19, 1 June 2011 (UTC))

Don't think too highly of yourself. Trivia comparing this version to other versions is useless in the long run.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:02, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Legs for every episode

I had not noticed that I forgot to add Under construction template, I will add on every new leg to analyze Detour, Roadblock and Additional task information. ApprenticeFan ^work 23:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

This is not necessary, really.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:02, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Please do not put false information

How dare you those people who switched alana and mel's names for nathan and tyler's names when i looked a few days ago. Seeing Nathan and Tyler's namea on the eliminated list nearly made me so angry! How could they have done so well and then failed? But then I realised that Alana and Mel were not eliminated as shown in the latest episode. Now I check today and everything is as I thought. Nathan and Tyler were NEVER eliminated! So those ppl who put up false information, please the table of elimination results should not be messed around with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhgenius01 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Please somebody fix Leg 7 locations

Leg 7 locations are mostly incorrect, most of it happened in Prague, detour in Plzeň and the rest is OK. It should look like this:

• Prague (Dancing House)
• Prague (Štvanice Stadium)
• Prague (St. Nicolas Church)
• Plzeň (Pilsner Urquell Brewery)
• Kutná Hora (Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist)
• Kutná Hora (Church of Bones)

Fixing.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Czorstyn or Czorsztyn

Hi, I'm from Poland. I don't have publishing rights so I put this in here hoping someone will see it and change it.
In the episode the village near Cape Stylchen was called Czorstyn. However, it is wrong and should be Czorsztyn. Tougher to pronounce, but correct. Here's a proof: Czorsztyn 178.235.31.150 (talk) 19:23, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I will fix it. In the future, type {{editrequested}} without the "tl|" followed by your requested change.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:26, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Who performed the roadblock in the first half?

Hi guys, can you please put a note that it is unknown which team members did the roadblock on the first half of this seventh leg? (Only for Sam & Renae, Dave & Kelly and Matt & Tom) Thank you very much. Gonzalochileno (talk) 19:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Easy enough.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:02, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

It was shown in the recap at the beginning of the Poland episode: Sam, Kelly and Tom. 178.235.31.150 (talk) 20:57, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, it seems that the Roadblock counts haven't been updated anyway. Can we have a correct tally so we can update everything?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:32, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Fix Leg 7

I am from Australia and have just seen 'Leg 7'. It wasn't a double length leg, it was 2 back-to-back legs. I know this because at the Polish castle Grant says it is the 8th Pitstop, not the 7th. Could somebody please fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCuffling (talk • contribs) 23:46, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Was there a prize after episode 7 like in the last US edition where they had two back to back legs? If so, I will fix everything.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

There was no prize for leg 7. --TheCuffling (talk) 04:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

In the fourth season of The Amazing Race Asia host Allan Wu said that the pit stop in Sydney, Australia (Hyde Park) was the 7th Pit Stop, as the other Australian Pit Stop (Kangaroo Point, Queensland) was the 8th. Although the host of the Australian leg had a prize (bed making challenge - from the 7th), Allan said it isn't a double length leg. On the Kangaroo Point Pit Stop, one team won the bed making challenge in the "previous" leg. ApprenticeFan ^work 11:18, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

This has always been a case of poor terminology. It's still a double-length leg, just like the ones in America's Seasons 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 14. 174.1.48.24 (talk) 08:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

At the 'midway point of the leg' Grant doesn't say that the leg is not over, he tells the teams to keep racing. In all the interviews with teams after the leg, they all acknowledged that it was 2 legs. This combined with my evidence above proves that it was 2 legs, not a double. --TheCuffling (talk) 21:40, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

It's not a separate leg unless there's a prize at the end.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Precisely, Ryulong. The fact is that the foreign hosts have never really adopted the proper nomenclature of the "superlegs"...mostly because such a thing doesn't entirely exist. Indeed, Bowler's comment of "It's not over" proves that they are not two seperate legs. Although he does identify Poland's Pit Stop as the eighth one, he doesn't (to my knowledge) say anything about the LEG being the eighth one. It's still, therefore, the seventh leg.174.1.48.24 (talk) 01:29, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Back on the first episode, Grant said on the starting point and there are actually twelve legs. ApprenticeFan ^work 02:22, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, then. If that actually is the 8th pitstop, then the Church of Bones must have been the 7th. In a double leg, the mid-way point is not a pitstop, and , in fact, it never has been. Now two separate legs would make the Church of Bones the 7th pit-stop. And, who said there had to be a prize? The no-break pit-stops have only occurred in 1 season so far. At that stage, The Amazing Race Australia was still in production. They would have only seen the first leg, and thought that apart from the Express Pass, there was no prize in a double. In the first leg of Australian version, the express pass is an additional prize and Sam & Renae also received A$10 000. Grant's comment of 'It's not over' doesn't have to refer to the leg, it could refer to the racing and the fact that there is no rest in-between legs. We'll know at the end of the race, anyway. If we keep it a double and the final leg is leg 11, that would prove that leg 7 was a double. If not, I'll accept the fact that I was wrong.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCuffing (talk • contribs)

No, TheCuffing. It is not officially the end of a leg and a Pit Stop unless there is a prize given to the 1st place finisher. In TAR18 where there were two "Hi, keep racing" Pit Stops the first place teams received prizes. This is a two-parter because there is nothing to state it is two legs despite your continuous attempts at convincing us otherwise.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

True, however, there is also nothing that states it is a double-leg. In the actual episode, it was un-defined. --TheCuffling (talk) 08:42, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

The show never calls it a double leg. We have to determine based on what we can iner from the show as to whether or not it was two legs without a break or a double length leg. All evidence points to double length.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:53, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Map

Could somebody please update the route map? It hasn't got Poland or Israel in blue or the red line going to them yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.51.64.71 (talk) 07:19, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. Just Israel, Poland is already done.
