Why the Amazing Race has lost its magic
Jobby:
I think the haybales challenge was memorable because Lena and Kristy got stuck for so long. They made the Roadblock famous.. besides rather than the Roadblock itself being challenging. Imagine if all the racers went into the field and found a clue within ripping 2 haybales apart.. nobody would have bothered to give this challenge a second thought.
Caelestor:
I would love it if the haybales was the "bonus task" this leg. If there was another roadblock on this leg, then I wouldn't say that the race planners got lazier.

The one thing i really missed is when the race would travel through countries. Just think back to Season 2 when the teams traveled from the South Island of New Zealand all the way up to the north Island. Or when the teams raced a bit through Namibia. Now it's pretty much "Fly to this city; pretty much stay in this city; leave for next city" That's the on thing i truly miss about the amazing race.

I'm watching Seasons 2 & 4 right now & I am feeling nostalgic remembering the old clue style, the team interaction & the leisurely pace. The pace during the more recent seasons feels like everyone is only just out to beat each other.

I think that could be fixed if they went back to the old 4-NEL politics, then the editors wouldn't have to rush all the "character development" and we could enjoy the scenery

To be fair, there's still an awfully lot of driving around, just look at what happened to Gary/Matt last night, they got their fair share of driving around the Swedish countryside. :lol:
