March 01, 2006The TARfiles TimesIt is that time again. Reality TV fans, rejoice. TAR is on again. It is one of the best of the reality shows on television, and one of the most widely traveled. Call it a travelogue for the new millennium, call it trash tv, call it whatever you want. But there are thousands of fans of the show, and they all hang out at one of the best fan sites for any show. Today's Warped site is paying it a visit, since they are our kind of people. The site is called The TARfiles Times, and in case you are wondering, TAR stands for The Amazing Race. It is in its 9th incarnation, which started on February 28th. This is a reality show that pits teams against each other in a race around the world for a first prize of one million dollars. There are contests along the way, which reveals how strong the relationships of the teams really are. What is so unique about this show, and attracts so many viewers, is the variety of locations around the world that are shown, and the real side of life in those countries. The culture and traditions of the locations are highlighted in the travels, so a real "you are there" feeling comes through. The contests on the show also tend to reflect the area they are in. This comes through in the website, as the current show, as well as past ones, are discussed. That is most likely what attracts viewers of all kinds to this show. If you have ever traveled in a foreign country, then you will be able to relate to this show. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site 7.5, making it the most warped reality show site we have visited.
