Questions and Discussion thread for TAR stats

I disagree about Uchenna & Joyce being lucky.
Chip & Kim got lucky with a better flight because they got to the airport last. This virtually sealed their victory.
I think Uchenna & Joyce had the toughest road to victory out of all the winners. (I don't know about Tyler & James because I still refuse to watch the last 3 TAR10 episodes.)
Uchenna & Joyce's taxi got a flat tire in the penultimate leg, which made them start the final leg with no money.
They had problems convincing people to give them money at the airport in Jamaica. (I think the fact that Uchenna & Joyce were black played a huge factor in this.)
The airline agent, according to Uchenna & Joyce, lied to them about Rob & Amber's flight.
They were second to get a taxi in Miami, and they had to beg people for more money so that they could settle their taxi bill and cross the finish line.
I would agree with the argument that Chip & Kim won because of one specific thing: getting a better flight because of getting to the airport last.
Overall, I think Uchenna & Joyce's luck was a wash. To me, Uchenna & Joyce won because they had ferocious tenacity. They had to fight and battle their way to victory. It was a constant struggle. They were my favorite winners before Tammy & Victor moved them down to second. (Chip & Kim are my third favorite.)

Uchenna & Joyce second to Tammy & Victor? Never! :lol:

Technically, that's wrong. Lyn and Karlyn were last in Madagascar, but were saved only by David and Mary's MFE elimination.
