Are we sure that Prague is a destination for the Asian addition? Last year the route stayed mostly within Asia, with the Middle east and Australia too. Does this mean that the TARA2 will be more like the american edition. the page for TAR12 says that it is scheduled to film around the same time, it could be an American team. -- Irishboi 19:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, we're quite sure. In addition to that, the producers have announced that they will be traveling further this time around. 121.6.119.33 01:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
According to this source, Adrian Yap is the first hearing-imparied contestant in the whole TAR's history. Should we put this down on the trivia section (if created)? Aranho 11:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Looks like there seems to be some conflicts about whether to include train stations on the article or not. I don't find any problem about adding in that. In fact, readers who are viewing Wikipedia wants more infomations, esp. train stations are it gives the readers the knowledge on how did the teams goes to a particular place. And I support this too.

By the way, Marc Nelson isn't a Filipino. Eaglestorm, where did you get your information? If you'd like I can list many many sources stating that he is not Filipino. Nor is he Australian. Please check your information properly. He was born on Valentine's Day, 1976 in Sydney, he has lived in Australia and currently resides in the Philipines but that certainly does not mean that he has a single drop of Filipino or Australian blood. And no he doesn't. So if I migrate to a country it means that I magically get my origin from there? So if I live in Australia, France, Switzerland, China would you deem that I have roots from there? I could be African who has lived in 30+ countries but I would still be African in origin and would not have a single drop of blood from those 30+ countries that I lived in.
It just so happens that the other racers reside in the countries which they originated from which probably led u to deduce that Marc is Australian and Filipino.
Here are some sources, and if you still think you are right, list your sources.
"(His mom has Burmese and English blood, born in Scotland and raised in Burma and Thailand; while his father is of Chinese and Burmese origin but migrated in Australia)." Source 1
"No, I don't have a drop of Filipino blood. But that's okay; it's a common mistake. Everyone thinks I'm part-Filipino and I'm glad. I feel very much at home here. The Philippines is my home now." Source 2
Please, check before accusing others of vandalism and check that your information is valid. Well, if that section about "Pan-Asians" is supposed to mean where they reside in, then I am sorry but it looks like it's not.
Eaglestorm, please do NOT delete my messages for no reason. View my sources please. Aren't we all here for the sole reason of making Wikipedia a better and more reliable Encyclopedia? And information needs sourcing. You were the person who asked me to respond on THIS talk page, not yours, referring from my own talk page.
You asked me to respond here, please don't delete this message again. Mervyn Wang ( talk) 03:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you to Aleenf1 for clearing this matter. The section on the "pan-asians" wasn't of much important relevance anyway. But of course as an encyclopedia, we should try to get our information to be as accurate and concise as possible. Mervyn Wang ( talk) 09:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
He isn't? *cries* He could be considered a Filipino if he was naturalized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.111.77 ( talk) 12:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Technically, the main prerequisite is for the racers to be full time residents in Asia. There's no screening for ethnicity. I don't know how all the Pan-Asian information was relevant to the casting. -- Madchester ( talk) 03:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Are we going to put the Notes part in soon? Like maybe once the race has finished airing? Mervyn Wang ( talk) 06:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
On leg 6, Ann & Diane got 4th and Paula & Natasha got 5th. But in the beginning of leg 7, P&N departed in 4th and A&D departed in 5th. The show didn't explain why. Maybe there was a time credit given to P&N for who-knows-what reason. Or Ann & Diane could have received a time penalty for, again, a who-knows-what reason.
So on the chart, should P&N be placed 4th under leg 6 and A&D placed 5th? Or should there be a note added? Arrowhead21 ( talk) 01:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
As of Leg 10 for this season, there is no fast forward has been aired. Though, there is still two legs left, isn't too late to air a fast forward and the finale is fast approaching? --unknown1212 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.53.214.9 ( talk) 11:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I actually wanted to put this spoiler on the main page, but since the source is unverifiable, I decided to put it here instead. According to this source, Adrian and Collin wins the race. How?
Quote: "Speculations that marc and rovilson didn't make it to as the winner but runner up rather and 3rd place were vanessa and pamela..they are now currently participating in local race event here in the philippines in a beach resort together with some filipino celebrities. however, colin and adrian won the amazing race asia 2. [as you can see they're the only team featured in the sonyHD commercial.] note that no other team are featured with same style and storyline of the advertisement."
FYI, the source I've given above is my own blog, whilst I got the spoiler from an anonymous guy who commented to that particular blog post 48th ronin ( talk) 04:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
That is why I never edited the main article of this ARA2... Let's just wait and see whether my prediction will turn out true on the final leg tomorrow... If it does, give me a treat ok :) Haha, just kidding actually. 48th ronin ( talk) 14:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's a list of who took which Roadblocks, just in case if anyone doubted the Roadblock count. Team members are arranged based on their overall placings.
Ploughing- Adrian, Pamela, Marc, Diane, Natasha, Henry, Daichi, Aurelia, Kinaryosih, Edwin
Bungy Jump- Collin, Vanessa, Rovilson, Diane, Natasha, Terri, Sawaka, Sophie, Brett
Mud Bath- Collin, Pamela, Marc, Ann, Paula, Henry, Daichi (Sophie & Aurelia were eliminated before they even reach the Roadblock point)
Ice Puzzle- Adrian, Vanessa, Rovilson, Ann, Paula, Henry, Sawaka
Lock & Key- Collin, Pamela, Marc, Ann, Paula, Terri, Daichi
Soy Bean Jars- Collin, Pamela, Rovilson, Diane, Natasha, Terri
Save Damsel-In-Distress- Adrian, Vanessa, Marc, Ann, Paula, Henry
Pool Dive- Collin, Vanessa, Rovilson, Ann, Natasha, Henry
Flying Fox- Adrian, Pamela, Marc, Diane, Natasha
Labyrinth- Pamela, Rovilson, Diane, Paula (Adrian & Collin completed the Fast Forward task, thus skipping the Roadblock)
Race Track- Collin, Vanessa, Marc, Ann
Flags- Adrian, Vanessa, Rovilson
Which means:
Adrian 5, Collin 6
Pamela 6, Vanessa 6
Marc 6, Rovilson 6
Diane 5, Ann 6
Natasha 5, Paula 5
Terri 3, Henry 5
Daichi 3, Sawaka 2
Sophie 1, Aurelia 1
Kinaryosih 1, Brett 1
Edwin 1, Monica 0

North & South America should be edited out of the route map, similar to how TAR Australia's map is organized. 174.1.48.24 ( talk) 21:01, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
At the end of Episode 5, Allan Wu ad-libs to Diane and Ann "It is not a Pit Stop..." (S02E05 ~47:19), but based on the scripted dialogue surrounding the teams arriving at that mat and the next, I think it is safe to say that he misspoke, and that it was considered by the producers to be a pit stop, but that the racers just didn't get the normal rest period and instead had to immediately keep racing.
When introducing the mat location, Allan states (S02E05 ~34:05-34:09) "The Pyramid at Fukuoka International Congress Center is the 5th Pit Stop of the Race." In the introductory voice-over to episode 6, he says "In Fukuoka, it was a cab race to the pit stop" (S02E06 ~0:57-0:59). When introducing Beomeosa Temple in episode 6, he says "this is the 6th pit stop of the race" (S02E06 ~36:12-15). Based on these scripted references, it seems like the mat at the end of episode 5 was supposed to be considered a pit stop, and that when teams left the mat it was considered the start of the 6th leg? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.167.181.94 ( talk) 13:45, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
