I'd like to see 5 changes.

1. You need not be model-beautiful or speak with an American accent to be a participant. Otherwise it becomes another Xtreme Macau show and you might as well import Lucy Liu from Hollywood. TARA is meant to be a race in Asia between all-Asian teams, AND above all a reality show right?

2. Have truly all-Asian teams like you mean it. Thais and Hongkies who look and sound like Brits? Didn't know their native physique has changed so fast.

3. Allow participants to speak their native language with subtitles for viewers. It adds a nice and original twist. (The 2 Indonesian boys in TARA speaking English to people in their native Indonesia was a joke. Indonesians just don't do that and contrived shows are embarrassing to watch.)

4. Yeah, agree with your #6. The in-your-face product placement was getting a bit much. Wonder why they don't dare do it in the regular American series.

5. Have meaningful challenges. The TARA challenges are downright lame compared to the pace and intensity of the original Amazing Race. I mean what has prawn-shelling and pushing bakso carts from A to B got to do with ingenuity and strategy.

The Allan Wu chap is okay lah, better him than Alan Tsang I say. He just don't need to be overly dramatic.

They have to have models so that we don't complain...

They have to have models so that we don't complain about the "ugly" contestants. Pretty people/models brings them more viewership - because nobody wants to watch "ugly" people on Amazing Race. And yea, nobody likes watching a show when people cannot speak proper English..

That's just my opinion =)
