The reason TAR Israel did the detour tasks (2nd Vietnam leg [Basket Boats or Basket Bikes] and entire Japan leg [Teach or Study, parodied from Teach It or Learn It]) which they were based from Leg 11 of TAR3 and Leg 3 of TAR12. Which the equivalent are the same as the US version. Last Edited By: Apprentice Talker 10/16/09 6:50 AM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 991 (10/18/09 10:32 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I hate to say it, but this one might challenge Season 4, Episode 4 for laziest leg planning ever. This episode was pretty much a remake of the leg on Amazing Race 5 when they went up to the top of Burj al-arab and then went off-roading in the desert area. It looks like they're going to Wild Wadi again, just like the subsequent episode in season 5. I also hate to say that Amazing Race Asia did Ski Dubai better.

The task looks exactly like the task the teams did in TAR 5 after the Dubai pit stop, just before the teams went to New Zealand. The water slide is called Jumeirah Sceirah. It is a speed slide that takes riders down a 33 meter (108 feet) slide at speeds of up to 80 km/hr (50 MPH). Is this the first time that a task has been duplicated in the same city on two different editions of the Race?

Not really, Season 1 and Season 14 both featured teams going to Beijing's Donghuamen Street Market to eat some bugs

FOUR tasks, TWO in TARA 3, and the others in TAR 11/TAR Israel. 3/4 tasks involve bungee-ing down. :P pal2002 wrote: still, repeats of tasks?

Um, the water park is Spoiler [+] actually Atlantis, not Wild Wadi, per RFF. And they've been repeating tasks since Season 5 (the head-shaving FF was apparently first offered in Season 2, Leg 5) and locations, as far as I remember, since Season 10 (Juyongguan, Eiffel Tower).

They take the easy 'splosions instead of dealing with the angry locals getting ready to go all Viking for old time's sake? And then, big finale: Something we've already seen? Involving hay bales? Awesome the first time around, but.... Dammit Bert, this time you had pissed off Vikings!
