START LINE ELIMINATION AND NEW TWIST IN THE RACE

<< < (3/13) > >>

Mister RC:
I'm with everyone as well.  Love the Switchback (or the possible concept pre-race), don't care about the twist.  Though it makes for an exciting segment!

I can't believe tptb gave up the start-line elimination so soon. I would have been teasing with something like:


--- Quote ---(In my Troy McClure voice) - "The most exciting start to the Amazing Race ever - teams battle at the start line in a task you don't want to miss. Tune in September 27 at 8pm"
--- End quote ---

And note that there isn't a map...

Moo:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't maps released the day/s before? :D

Switchback.... hmmm, is this the first clue something not totally related to street signs (less the FF)

--- Quote ---For the first time, one team will be booted at the start of the trek, and racers will have to tackle the Switchback, a new twist that sends teams back to one of the series' most challenging "roadblocks." Executive producer Bertram van Munster said the racers will set off from the Los Angeles River, then first head to Tokyo to complete several zany tasks.

Yer. But Roadblock twist is a good surprise!  :tup:

I wonder why they quotation marked "roadblock" though. And wouldn't it be too much, and considering some tasks from past seasons are similar to one another?

Still, can't wait! I've never heard of a Switchback in TAR games/fanfics! :wohoo:

Am I the only one on this forum that hopes there WASN'T a new twist? :groan: It's okay for me fanfics/games, but NOT the real seasons. :groan:

You're not the only one.  :lol:
I hate the new twist, but not the Switchback. I thought it's exciting.  ;D

I hate both. :funny: I actually hate the U-Turn/Yield/Intersection/various NEL penalties, even if they proved to be entertaining/useful. :funny: I use them in games simply for the drama. :funny:

"Well, our contestants are going to be the tour leaders. Each team is going to have to run a group of 20 tourists through the center of Tokyo as fast as they can. Whoever brings their entire tour group to the Pit Stop first will be the number one team."

"I Survived A Japanese Tour Group"?! :funny:

Moo:
could the strikeback actually be the first task teams will be doing before leaving the starting line, and could prolly do a final roadblock esque game? :D?

JUST SPECULATING!
