Why the Amazing Race has lost its magic

I think also Uchenna and Joyce survived a marking in All-Stars.

Yes you are right, that truly loop sided leg, really gave them just a bit of a cushion to work with. Oh like 12 hours or something.

I hated both forms of mugging, I disliked that early seasons it was just a start as normal, and I like it better then a speed bump. It was far, and equal.

I prefer TBC without airport bunchings (or any for mid-leg). If the teams are too bunched, this could pose a problem for the team marked for elimination.

Caelestor,
I do not understand what you might by "If the teams are too bunched, this could pose a problem for the team marked for elimination." You apparently are saying that if the teams all leave the bunched condition at close to the same time, then a Marked for Elimination team will be at a disadvntage. According to my logic, that is precisely when a Marked for Elimination team has the best chance of getting ahead of at least one team by 30 minutes. When teams are less bunched then fewer teams start just more than 30 minutes than the Marked for Elimination team. There is clearly LESS opportunity for that team to when teams are less bunched.
Caelestor:
Sorry apskip, by bunching I meant tasks like luck roadblocks. Now that I look at it again, the MFE penalty is actually quite fair, since it makes teams strive for first instead of aiming for the middle. Plus, it saves the cost of setting up an extraneous task.
