And I thought it was cool they were even allowed to film there. The Cambodian government is (now) VERY protective of the place and it's a pain to get any permits to even film there. Tomb Raider was one of the first film crews to ever get permission. I wonder what kind of hoops do shows like this have to go through to convince a forign suspisous government to set up cameras and have people on an elaborate game show basically running around national treasues such as angkor wat? And I also found it interesting how quiet it all was? They must've film during low season or kicked everyone out lol, because that place is usually crawling with thousands of people. It's like walking in the middle of Manhantan and only bumping into 20 people in the middle of hot day at 3 pm summer time . As for the episode itself, I was sorry to see Aja and Ty go. They werent really my favorites, but I was finally warming up to them. Aja looks like one of my ex-girlfriends from high school lol and Ty. But it was simply no way they could catch up. Once they had to wait overnight for a plane, it was over. It was just too much time lost. They basically lost last episode. And man, it was nice to see Terrance and Sarah run into all kinds of problems lol. I cant stand them personnally, but must admit they ARE a strong team and if they manage to win even with Terrance being a primadonna, it will be fate I guess. As for the divorces and Ken and Tina, no comment lol. These two are rubbing me the wrong way worse than Terrance adn Sarah now if thats even possible. These two are perfect examples of why divorce happens (the women) and why it SHOULD happen (Ken and the bitter barbie doll) .

It was X's idea for season 12 and he sent me all the info on it and we even got as far as idea's for sending in a contestant video. The problem is I was in Korea at the time and he was in Japan and we coldnt work it out (or put up the money to see which one would fly where ) to figure out we were going to shoot it, either Japan or Korea? It was more likely Japan since we both are famaliar with it, but money was a BIG issue for me at the time and the deadline was a few weeks away. And X later found out most of those people who go on those shows are really wannabe actors or reality show contestants most of the time and have agents and all of that. I dont know how much of that is true, but I'm always mystified they find people who doesnt seem to have one iota of travelling experience lol. At least on Survivor, they find some people who has experience in the outdoors or have basic outdoor skills and not only city folks whose never even been camping before. But for TAR I guess the show aims for people who never really travelled outside of America or just knows very little about the world because based on what I seen so far, that seems to be the majority of the contestents. I guess it makes better TV when you got someone lacking basic knowledge like a contestent trying to speak Spanish to someone in C-A-M-B-O-D-I-A (like one of the divorce women did lol). Here in Australia, they actually ran a promo of the last episode with Dallas saying he had no clue where New Zealand even was. Yeah, New Zealand isnt a huge country by any standard, but its kind of embarrasing when we seem to be completely cluesless on things like that where its common knowledge by most outside of America. So in hindsight, I think the show really wants people who have little travelling or cultural experience because I assume it makes for better TV and more challenging for the contestents. And I think me and X would probably be eliminated from the first round anyway....we were in Hong Kong once and that dude couldnt WALK a few blocks before he forced me to take a taxi lol. Running isnt exactly his forte ;D.

I know I've been pretty excited when I've seen places I've been but I'm a geek that way. <<believe it or not, we gave it SERIOUS consideration actually. It was X's idea for season 12>> I do believe it. Too bad it didn't work out. You could've worn some LP t-shirts, it woulda been awesome! LOL.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains So I watched - but had just arrived home an hour before from DL - so I was too tired to be online... I figured it was a non-elemintation leg since they made a point to mention the last team to arrive MAY be eliminated... Was a dull show -
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Well I missed you in here last night! I hope you had a great time at DL! I'll have to ck in & chat you up about it in smedley's thread. Tonight maybe? And I agree with you guys, last night was a yawner. Loved firehead lady though. Soooo cool! The KenTina emo show was weirdish.

Honestly, the million is just not that worth it (and lets not kid ourselves people, they will be fighging over it in divorce court a few years down the line anyway ). And then she started crying at the end? I was crying to but for different reasons. Ken must reeeaally love this woman. The only thing worse than crabby, nagging Tina is crabbier, naggier Terrance. Sarah is cute, outgoing and sweet. Why is she with this anal retintive, passive aggressive FREAK?? Tina and Terrance should get together, because they belong together. It was amazing how many of the same annoying qualities they share. And I spoke about this last time, but it amazes me the divorcees wore those shorts in one of the most conservative countries on the planet. It goes back to peole having zero sense of cultural sensitivity, and mainly for their safety in this case. Were they in India or Miami??? I know its a just a contest, but it seems like you would be a little more aware of your surroundings and if you are offending the culture or not, thats all.
