Flo was amazing,lol. I loved her and Zach. Anyway, whatever team crosses the finish line first deserves to win. |

The only ones I think she really couldn't do were the Highland Games and the cyclo bike and maybe the second RB in Vietnam. Besides, she'd probably wine because she was forced to do the task. |

Yeah, but she'd be eliminated earlier. Is it really worth it that a "deserving team" wins when TAR3 finale was the best in history?

Dr Will Hatch two point oh wrote:Not really. Leg 1 - no roadblock Leg 2 - F/Z were on an earlier bus than the last group of teams IIRC. Besides, TnT were kinda far behind checking in. Leg 3 - Dennis/Andrew were a day behind. Flo could've even done the fucking Highland Games and probably not gotten eliminated. Leg 4 - Zach should be doing the penalty kick (though she could). Heave fucking up covers their asses. Leg 5 - Michael/Kathy take the night off during Dieselgate and make a (way) later bus. Leg 6 - Flo actually did this RB. Leg 7 - F/Z use the FF, but even if they hadn't, I'm sure either Zach (easily) or Flo (with a shitload of melting down) could finish the leg before Andre/Damon. Leg 8 - NEL. Leg 9 - NEL. Flo could do at least one of these RBs, if not both. Leg 10 - Easiest fucking roadblock ever. JVJ get so lost that, barring bodily harm, Flo/Zach finish before them. Leg 11 - Twins/Ken/Gerard were a ferry ride behind, not to mention the twins messed up the RB. By my estimates, they make F3 and Flo does 5/6 roadblocks (legs 2, 5, 6, and 10 definitely; legs 7, 8, or even 9 possibly). Still allows for Flo to melt down (if not sooner, than certainly starting in Switzerland), but makes her seem like less of a ballast. |

Yeah I guess you're right. What I'm really bemoaning is that TAR is now so regulated and design for certain teams to win that it interrupts team
creativity and outside stimuli to make the show interesting.

They need to have them start in one place and then give them a bunch of tasks to do around the world and the first team to successfully complete them all wins.
There are no pit stops, just however long they take. And they can't fly they have to either walk run or swim.

Which is exactly the reason the Bowling Moms should have been given a spot in All Stars.

What has she ever done that didn't involve a lot of assault on the eardrums? Zach did his job and did it beautifully. Nothing but applause in order for him. Sadly, I think the Race has become formulaic and derivative. Just like Big Brother (and don't get me started on That Other Show), they come off as more concerned with finding types than personalities. They probably always wanted a whole heaping shitload of idiots because they believe idiots make for better television than those who are simply in it to win it.

Dr Will Hatch two point oh wrote:I think if TAR5 was run with the Bowling Moms rule already in place, the F3 would've been all F/F teams. Maybe trade Kami and Karli for Colin and Christie. But the girls on the M/F teams were so pathetic, they couldn't even do an eating task. If they had casting like this again, wow. Plus, they girls never ever thought about doing the roadblocks. "OMFG ROADBLOCK! You again! <3" Not having a RB limit in the first place was retarded. ETA: Oh, I know they suck, but at least Dani did roadblocks. She did pretty well too, IIRC. Don't go bitching about the RB limit because you want more weak females with strong guys to win. |

Why is it so important to have affirmative action rules? TAR1 Asia winners won with the rule in place, I think, but they were good enugh to have won without
it. Plus, I don't see TAR as much a sporting event as I do an entertainment, and entertainment is cut out with the 6-6 rule potentially.
