I have a question:

Why the hell did we get on that damn plane!?!??!?

Hi Brad! This made me laugh as well!

Why didn't the airline actually inform you of the bad weather in the Netherlands actually?

----

To those who are going to TARCon...

Please ask these questions if anyone's going, please! ^_^ (How about a souvenir? signature? Hehehe... I'm so envious that you get to meet and greet the racers! **sob**)

1. Tammy and Victor = How did they feel when there were three legs in China? I mean, I would sure think the other teams would have thought that that would be unfair at all - and considering they have been there, and how about the other countries that they seem to breeze upon? Do they actually have glimpses of the country itself (like Phuket, Thailand?)

Why didn't they choose the swim task, provided the clue stated that floaters can be used?

2. Jaime and Cara = how was the taxi thing going on? After the comments made about China, would either of them visit the country again?  :lol:

General:

3. How did Jaime or Victor or Luke react to the TBC? Considering that they're the actual fans, several seasons before they competed, we all thought that the TBC was extinct then...

4. How does it actually feel when Phil said that they're the last team to arrive and they're eliminated? We see it as a one sided view on television, but when you're tired how does it feel? Is it insult to injury or something?

5. How hard was it finding "Wenchang Ge?"  :funny: We all did have a hard time finding it as well though here in the spoilers section.. hahaha

Thanks a WHOLE LOT and Have fun guys!!!

I'll be in NYC, Friday and Saturday. I don't know if I'll see any of the racers since I won't be going to TARCon (why did CBS schedule TAR Finale on Mother's Day  (:;) (:;) ).

OMG... don't tell that! The mother of all finales will be TAR:infinity!

Could it also be that the "mother" wins? You know who I'm pertaining to... ^_^

It was inevitable ever since they moved the show to Sunday.  There's still time though...maybe work out a brunch deal, rain-check everything, or bring "mom" to TARcon as the best Mom's Day gift ever!

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

Can't do that. But just know that if I see any racers during that period, I'll be sure to ask. I'll bring a notebook and see if I can get some signatures.

Please update this with any pressing timeline/logistic/clarifying questions for the current racers today or tomorrow (last chance), as I hope to have time to get many of those answered.

Will try to take pictures too!

So what are really the chances anyone from Final 3 will be there? I mean, I could definitely see past or current Races that are somewhat local, and I know Sunday is Mother's Day (for whatever affect that might have) and that past events had variable outcomes, but the F3 should be in NYC anyway for the Early Show on Monday (and my NYC friend said the place this is happening is an awesome bar), but I was just trying to get a better feel for how anyone thinks this one on Sunday will go? Thanks for anyone's help!

 :wohoo:

If you can, ask the racers the location of the "confessionals" by the rocks & Buddha in the third China leg.  Oh yeah, and while you're at it, ask if they saw that damn drum from Osaka anywhere along the way.   ;D  (Puddin might want to know.  ;) )

I think Peach is going to be in NYC on Thursday. I will be in NYC on Friday night and leaving Saturday evening (unfortunately). If I happen to encounter any of the racers, I will put up pics and info either here or on my blog (link is in my sig below).

Sorry, Mooyou, but "we all" did not think that. You will see TBCs in my Timeline for AR14 months ago.
