PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Could We Not Have Gone INSIDE the Cave?" |
Usually my mom calls me up to go "Neener neener neener - I've been there and there and there and you haven't..." after a TAR episode (well, she doesn't actually use the word "neener", but you get my drift). HOWEVER, I have actually gone up those stairs (and believe me, that monkey has lots of monkey pals in that neighborhood - they are like pigeons, but much cuter and much smarter) and the caves are at least worth filming! It's a great big cave, it's ancient, there are tons of bats, and everything! I mean, I know the competition is the thing, but the best thing this show offers are the glimpses of spectacular far-off sights...last night the producers had the contestants climb all those stairs and then we didn't get to see inside the actual CAVES. Boo! I wanted to speelunk, at least vicariously! I wanted to see the enormous batflock again!
In general, what a waste of Malaysia. Oh, and neener neener neener, unless you're Cayaha...

In general, what a waste of Malaysia. Oh, and neener neener neener, unless you're Cayaha...I had to laugh at that! Yeah, it was something of a waste, but it did give a clue how complicated it can be to get around KL on the light-rail transit (LRT) lines, one reason people still hire a taxi. Taxis, incidentally, are quite cheap compared to any other city I've been to, and a few phrases spoken in local dialect will keep the more unscrupulous drivers honest about the fare. The episode also showed just how friendly and helpful Malaysians can be, unless you try to buy newspapers from the 'paper lama' guy trying making a living of it! Both DW and I thought the episode gave a fair portrayal of Malaysia in spite of its brevity. If it were me, I'd have the teams do the jungle canopy walk not far from Mount Kinabalu in Sabah. Not for the faint-hearted with a fear of heights, as you're almost 100 feet up in the canopy and it's like another world up there. Finally, there's probably only two degrees of separation for me from most of the Malaysians captured on the episode - it's a small world there. I used to shop for those very same cloths ('batik') for DW to have tailored, and I know a lot of people in Kampung Baru as well as Sri Hartamas, with friends in both locales. 
Rays of light by tribe.

I kept thinking they had edited something out. Didn't understand the point to going to the steps to the caves but not in! Woulda been cool.

That's what I thought. It's nice to know I'm not imagining things. . .
