Back when education was a major priority, the best time for television was in the afternoons and morning. Now that education has become a background necessity, it has seen the slot of television moved to the evenings and late night.
But late night is still only night when the clock sits on the early side of 12am. After that it is now very early morning. Along there with the wee hours as they are often called.
One such show to fall about and get kicked around is that of The Amazing Race. Teams of two race around the world in a Carmen Sandiego styled game. The last to each destination get booted off. The episode last night was supposed to have screened in February this year, or even up where the start of the year usually is.
But it is American and the television is located in Australia. The problem is clear.
After being pulled numerous times, the Race was back on and picks up with them on their way to Sydney, Australia.
Team Cha-Cha-Cha aka Danny and Oswald play the game the best. They go straight to the 5-star hotels and ask for help—why run around asking the locals when you can bug people who are paid to be? From this they manage to get onto the shores of Australia first and hit the roadblock.
The task was to decipher a few Aussie phrases, stuff like: Find a surfie in lairy daks, catch a true blue anklebiter, talk to a sheila in an Aussie cozzie and get the good oil from a bushie.
No idea what half of these meant. But these players did. Two of the teams didn't read their info strips properly and wasted time running around with their partners. They also didn't pay any attention to the locations as they realised their mistake at Circular Quay and had to start all over again at the Opera House. But instead of taking a look over toward the monstrosity of a hotel on the right, they hopped into taxis. But no one was eliminated, it could be for when they hit somewhere after the city.
