Sportsfan, I think new episodes will show up on the same page. They air Mondays in Australia so they'll probably pop up a day or two after that.

Back to add that the teams had a challenge of counting briefcases full of money, and the amounts were different for each team - how's that for smart?!?

Oh what FUN! Thanks Spear 
What's even better is that it's the First Australian TAR, not just skinny model type folks. Real variety. Did you look at the size of everyone's backpack?
So strange having another guy giving the same speeches we're so accustomed to hearing from Phil. What a treat!!!!

That was a great show. Fun contestants, good variety, good enthusiasm and intelligent tasks along with the fun of it being the first. Oh and a good "Phil clone" host. Seriously it was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for tipping us off about it.

Oh that's fine Roxip. I was thinking of creating one anyway and moving the posts over if there was going to be more discussion. There seems to be some interest so I'll do that when I get back to my computer.

Just curious as to whether all the Aussie episodes will end up on youtube? I would hate the start watching and then findout I can't see how the season ends.

Great minds think alike, I was going to start a new thread tonight but it's better if Jimmer can pull all our posts and keep together.
Thanks Jimmer & Roxip for the suggestion!

Thsnkd y'all. I wish that I could invest time in another TAR but as it is I'm trying to make myself watch less television...and if I start following this thread I will end up watching the show...LOL...and my house and yard are suffering because I watch way too much teevision these days. (Oh yeah, and my child too.)

I have an alternative link to Daily Motion (like youtube but allows 20 min videos). Usually Daily Motion links don't get taken down so it might be a good backup:

The person who hosts it usually gets new videos up within a couple of days of broadcast.

Thank YOU Jimmer! You always spoil us & we luv it!
Confess, lastnight I shared the link with my Sis and her best friend (both ardent TAR fans). As of lastnight the LAST of her reality shows ended too (even with her fancy cable TV) and it was going to be a dry summer.
We got so excited when I was describing, after hanging up the phone I decided 'what the heck!' I watched the episode all over again. It was nice, though, to have a better sense of the teams/names. The W-Ladies and the Cowboys seriously lob some funny comments.

Brenda ~ Just curious as to whether all the Aussie episodes will end up on youtube?
To me Spear's link looked like a more professional website, like maybe Australia's version of CBS website. Not like YTs that individuals pop in occasionally. Plus it had the last USA TAR, so I would bet they will keep it going.
Does anyone know if Australians get to watch CBS, like our Canadian Friends do? Or maybe they do the reverse, via this link, to see USA TAR? It would be curious to know if the Aussie teams have watched many races.
I thought it was interesting that their prize for the race is $250,000 dollars, instead of a million. But maybe it's planned to spread the wealth during the race so that more people get prizes as they come in first.

It took a little longer it appears, I should have waited before posting, but looks like the last segment has been posted now.
