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."

"TAR on DVD: Season #1." |
Just landed next to the computer. The first thing I noticed was the plastic wrap, which said 'DVD Made In Mexico'. DETOUR: Domestic/International. In Domestic, you make your product locally to some acclaim, but get charged a lot more for it. In International, you save a lot of money, but... ...nevermind. Anyway, there's four DVDs on the boxed set: 1 and 2 have three episodes each, 3 has four, and the last has a regular episode and the finale. The bonus features are: DVD #1: Premiere commentary by Kevin & Drew (called Drew & Kevin for some strange reason) and Lenny & Karyn. 48 bonus minutes of previously unaired scenes. #2: Episode #6 commentary from Rob & Brennan and Team Guido. (In the same room at the same time?) 31 minutes of bonus footage. #3 Episode #7 commentary from Kevin & Drew and Lenny & Karyn. 9 minutes of bonus footage. #4 Commentary on the second half of the finale from Rob & Brennan and Team Guido. ('And we were eighteen days behind, but we thought 'If only they run into New York traffic...') Unaired Roadblock: turns out the ostrich egg omelet was a repeat stunt. All commentary teams discuss their experiences in the Race. Mini-documentary about the creation and coordination of the original course. My price was $29.99 pre-tax: I've seen $38.95 posted and think some mall stores may have hit $44.99. Shop around. Tonight's for the TAR8 premiere -- tomorrow is for looking back. I missed most of the original Race: this is going to be fun... ...in a 'Wow, this show sucked early' way.

I wish there had been more commentary, but I'm pretty happy with the package overall. As I type this, we just finished watching the elimination of Paul and Amie wayyyyy out in the desert. I won't miss them much, but I appreciated the genuine concern for them from the other Racers *coughnotnamedGuidocough*.  
The bonus footage is good too. Emily can be whiny, but not as much so as Karyn or Amie! And Dave and Margharetta were a class act.

I agree with you about the commentaries. TAR is really perfect for commentary. There's all sorts of things that make commentary by the participants interesting, like all the things we don't see. Hope there's more on the future issues of TAR.

I received this DVD set for Christmas, giving me the chance to see the one season I missed. DW and I have watched all the episodes, and we found TAR's inaugural season to be highly entertaining. However, the DVD also raised a question, which I know someone on these boards can answer:Has anyone other than the Guidos ever successfully completed a Fast Forward and arrived last at the mat?? As a side note, the Guidos decision to wait 8 hours for a bus to southern Thailand had to be the DUMBEST TAR decision ever made... Guido #1: Let's see, we won the fast forward, so now we can sit around for 8 hours and blow the entire race. Guido #2: Ok, let's go get a hotel room and wait in comfort. Sheesh, those guys had run such a smart race up to that point. Go figure! 
Not saying I liked the Guidos, but they WERE good racers.
