I thought it said somewhere on the application that the race course is decided at least partially based on the things that those who apply say they will or won't do. I was under the impression that the race course was decided after contestants were chosen. Do we have any evidence that it is designed before the teams are chosen?

alittlebird is correct Hooky. The course and locations are chosen well before the contestants...think visas, film permits, all the complicated logistics. Teams are sometimes being revamped even a couplke of weeks beforehand.

That's awful luck for Brian and Ericka!! I wonder how much time it ended up costing them.

BTW, I really hope that Ericka's family starts accepting Brian, he is a saint for some of the crap he had to put up with with her and seems like a really great level-headed guy!!

Moo:
I'm VERY disappointed on how rigged could the Final task be.

1)It's the FINAL task. I could have let it pass if the task was an ordinary task, but please, it's the final task, and B/E could have won it.

2)It's between a million dollars and none.

Sorry if it looks so much like I'm biased against M/C, but yeah, it sucks...

It's more like between 1 million dollars; 25,000 dollars; and 10,000 dollars. But yes, it is extremely disappointing and a big difference in $$.

Zack.:
FWIW, Brian/Ericka seem to be in good spirits about the experience in general; other racers might have tried to pull a Stacey Stillman.
