--- Quote from: Joab on May 23, 2009, 12:30:47 PM ---I just want them to go to New Zealand or Australia.. higher chances of them having self-driving.
But self driving always spells that all-female teams might be eliminated early because of their way with roads... -____- (Marisa and Brooke, Shanna and Jennifer, Meredith and Maria, Danielle and Dani, Debbie and Bianca and even Dustin and Kandice also landed last on a NEL thanks to bad driving)
And look at the leg there was driving a driving task in TAR 14.. Christie and Jodi and Kisha and Jen fumbled badly too. Sigh..

That's true! I never noticed that until now. But I still think that self-navigation is a necessary ability that needs to be there for the race to be truly challenging.

That is why i'm in a dilemia.. i want an all-female team to win.. but at the same time i want more self-driving!!! (:;)

Joab:
I'm not sure you have cause and effect quite right. Female drivers in Amazing Races are typically equal to male drivers, with one exception. Females have a much higher percentage of "no stick shift" driving abilities. That is what does those who have this affliction in.
I absolutely agree with you that, given the alternatives of continuing the high level of taxi rides in the Amazing Race or substituting more self-driving, it is much more fun to watch Amazing Racers screw up in self-driving than to have a bad taxi driver do them in.

If I were ever selected for a TAR team (fat chance) the first things I would do would be:
1. Learn how to drive a stick shift car.
2. Learn how to read a simple map.
3. Learn how to leave half the junk I want to take at home, and pack a very light pack.
