Topic: Roadblock Count 6 or 7?

[methylc]

I guess pre-Season 6 the requirement is to do a minimum of 1 before the final leg (or to be eligible to win/be in the final 3/whatever). Otherwise why the hell would Flo, Christie, Kim or Nicole ("Is that you or is that you?"  ) even bother to do their only performance?

I just read this in wikipedia.

In Season 9, the Roadblock limit was increased to a maximum of seven which can lead to a 6-6 or 5-7 distribution.

It happened QUITE some time ago.

This is the "Mom" rule...it was put into place after Linda and Karen lost to the ascender I believe.

It wasn't season nine they changed it from 6 to 7, though. TAR10 needed a 7 maximum since there were 13 RoadBlocks (due to the first leg getting one when it previously had not had one), but teams were always functioning on a six-RoadBlock maximum until TAR15 at least. TAR16's the first to have someone reach seven RoadBlocks without it being forced, though I suspect the rule change in the first place was only to accommodate the two-RoadBlock leg in Shanghai -- without that twist, we'd probably still be at six each.

I thought the Mom rule was 6-6

That's what I meant.
