That's awesome Peach! I think the closest I came to standing on one was me standing on a homemade one a longtime TAR fan made for the finale parties earlier in the decade (it was a replica of the one used in seasons 2-3 prior to when they put the map on the bathmat). But I'm glad that it's not gone; whew! With some of the other awesome "makeovers" over the past TV year, I didn't know for sure!
Yeah, that's unfortunate about Brooke and Lisa not being on TAR this year. RW Denver was awesome and I personally enjoyed seeing all the madness from that season. Brooke was definitely a character and would have been a great fit for the show.
However, unless they have someone tweeting for them, it's probably not them (can't remember the last time a racer had someone update stuff for them as a diversion that they weren't racing). Their myspace was recently updated as well, although it's private (hmm).
Fortunately, there are several other awesome teams that have been spotted so far (and I didn't think of Brooke and Lisa prior to now anyway), and given that some of my early favorites (like Nate/Herbert & the Brooks) were still in it as of late, it's all good.
