But shouldn't the suspense be related to the race itself,and not the fast forward?! The FF was a way of bailing out teams that got an unlucky break,and it added a much needed element of stratagy to the race,and in addition it provides more chances to see the exotic locales and/or customs,etc.

I don't like the idea of bringing back the FF's every leg. It somehow spoils the thrill of who's winning 1st and the prize. And the FF's of the earlier seasons are really funny... eating pies, getting predictions, etc. I like hard ones, not really to the extent of U/J FF but N/D FF would do.

Ahem!

You may talk about AMAR, but you may not utter the words "Rovilson" nor "Marc"

That is all.

Rovilson was obviously struggling with the flag roadblock (Marc could name all of the flags, Rovilson mixed up the Hong Kong flag with the New Zealand flag). If Marc had done the roadblock, he would obviously have done it much faster than Rovilson.

The roadblock rule has to be there. It's a team game. It wasn't an issue at first because the final three was almost even or even with the one exception. (I recall, Margarita, Paige, and Teri all do no more than 3 a piece) but it wasn't until the final three women did three ALL TOGETHER that it finally became an issue.

Actually, I just reread the topic. Over Regulated. I read it as overrated.

I am a dunce.

Yes, the race is over regulated. it is not over rated.

Dr Will Hatch two point oh, I agree with you 100% in light of reeading the topic correctly.

My appologies.

Oh I just want to agrtee with the idea of the "clue" . In early seasons, you would get a picture that was it. In more recient seasons you get a map, a compus, a gps unit, a local guid, a driver and a free phone call........

Re: Is the Race overregulated?

feeds@yuku.com (PrinceOfSucks) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 08:51:54 GMT

Short answer: No.

Long answer: The show is still based on teams performances. if you can't count (ask Bolo) then you will suffer. No one can stratigize in this game (ask Romber).

The game has a good premis and they throw stuff in just to keep it "fresh", not neccessary in my opinion, as the original rules stand alone well. I understand bunching, just from a production point of view.

The show is not over rated. The show rocks.

I wish the clues would be just that, clues. As it is now they just follow directions, everything is spelled out in minute detail, there's no deviations from the route. It seems there's much less interaction with locals in latter seasons as well, but I guess part of the reason for that is the fame of the program itself.

Everything else belongs on the rubbish heap. I hate yields, intersections and whatever crap I'm forgetting. Let the world provide it's...

First of all, like almost everyone here, I want the Fast Forward to be brought back on every leg. Having it on two legs in the hope that a certain team finds it is utter bullshit. Also,I think yields,uturns or anything else similar should be available on every leg. Also, I dislike how each team member has to complete an equal number of roadblocks. It may weed out the weaker teams, but it dispurs team freedom and the potential for great moments. Flos breakdowns in the last episodes would of...
