THE DEATH OF THE FERN
A "Fern", in original Amazing Race terminology, is someone who helps a racer find their way through their own hometown. It later became applied to anyone who helps a racer along the way.
The name is a homage to the original Fern, a young woman who played hooky from school all day to help Danny and Oswald (TAR 2, episode 5) navigate their way through Bangkok.

it would be tremendously sad to also lose the often humorous, sometimes silly, touching times where cultures meet, and friendships are born.
This sums up the entire situation and what i'm feeling as well. The only time (i think) in Season 18 we got to see teams ask for direction was in the Austria leg where several teams asked for directions at the gas station. And that's about it.
