Why the Amazing Race has lost its magic
Caelestor:
^ However, Dubai I had a FF, which guaranteed the 1st place team from last leg to come in first again this leg. Not a very good design.
I still believe that the Dubai legs could've been easily merged into one super-leg (then again, the Dubai Ministry of Tourism clearly was actively involved in production).
Coutzy:
The Dubai leg was completely linear. Had there been another team right behind Meghan and Cheyne, they may have moved a bit faster and held first.
Caelestor:
True. Meghan and Cheyne did waste a lot of time at the hookahs.
I think it may be better to completely eliminate the FF from the race.
mswood:
Yes the Fast Forward needs to go. It really only served a true purpose in seasons 1-4. After that it truly became next to meaningless.
In all honest I can't think of a single leg after season 4, where the Fast Forward had a direct impact in a team remaining in the race.
In fact the only real lasting impact ( since the end of season 4) was Terrance & Sarah losing after being the 2nd team to go for a Fast Forward.
