Tonights Challenges for the Cowboys!
Rob:
Was it just me, or were ALL the challenges tonight geared towards the cowboys! Kind of annoying to be quite honest with you. I can understand the frustration of some of the other team members!!
slpdx:
No, it's not just you, and with all the livestock...I thought last week was geared to them too.

There have been a lot of tasks where Jet and Cord excelled, but animal tasks have always been a part of TAR, some of which have been a lot tougher than this season's. The true test of the cowboys will be when they get to Europe and possibly beyond and are out of their element.
theschnauzers:
Well, the polo tasks actually didn't involve horses, did it"
And poker was a pure luck based task.
And the smart move about getting directions from other travelers about geeting to the next clue box isn't peculiar to being cowboys, either.
So the only thing that was really "cowboy"-ish was the lasso detour. And that was about it this week. Every thing else was from how they play the game of TAR, and they're playing that exceptional well.
Rob:
Ok, so I am catching a LOT of flack for what I said on RFF Radio last night, and people are REALLY disagreeing with me about how the cowboys had such an advantage with the challenges, and then people point out to me that Carol & Brandy can speak Spanish and that gives them an unfair advantage too.....
Here is my point, Carol & Brandy have an intellectual advantage over everyone else if they are the only team to speak Spanish....so, they went into this game prepared for the race and speaking a language that MANY other countries speak.
There is a big difference when a production crew setup challenges that are tailored for a certain pair of cowboys. Its a difference of being prepared for something, and being setup to succeed. Thats my point on all of this!
