It wold be great to see a Detour involving women oriented tasks and see male teams struggled there...
I just feel that getting Maria & Tiffany-ed is not fair. Not because it was them, but just it is not fair.

I think if Maria did more than give love taps to the golf balls and the strength tester, she and Tiffany may well have edged out Brian and Ericka in that leg.

Agreed. And if they had really been properly prepared for the race (and had properly applied without pressure from producers who wanted them more than they wanted to be on the show themselves), this minor strength task wouldn't have been an issue. I don't think the tasks need to be less difficult. Surely there are plenty of women in America capable of doing much better than Maria & Tiffany. All that needs to be reformed is the casting process. Instead of getting the physically weak "celebrities," try getting average American women who are in shape and are actually a threat to the other teams.

Imagine how a team full of Rebeccas (From series 6) would do.

That would certainly be great! :tup:
Or a team full of Loris (same season) not only would they be ridiculously strong, they'd also provide the great bickering! That's a match made in heaven! :lol:

Kim and Leslie - got lost on the streets of Paris
Pat and Brenda - went to the wrong museum
Nancy and Emily - quit the detour and recieved a 24 hour penalty
Deidre and Hillary - were just unlucky to always be in back of the pack
Peggy and Claire - bad flight connection
Mary and Peach - got lost in Hong Kong
Gina and Sylvia - suffered a similar fate to Deidre and Hillary, unlucky to be in back of pack
Heather and Eve - misread a clue resulting in a 30ish minute penalty and their elimination
Monica and Sheree - fell behind at a luck based detour and couldn't catch up
Tian and Jaree - were the first to be eliminated because a task was primarily for guys
Charla and Mirna - bad flights, couldn't catch up
Kami and Karli - fell behind at the detour, couldn't catch up
Linda and Karen - eliminated due to male oriented task, but were the reason for the rule of no team member can perform more than 6 Roadblocks
Meredith and Maria - stick shift FAIL
Lena and Kristy - were very unlucky at the Hay Bale Roadblock, but apparently missed 4 clues, so they're not observant either
Megan and Heidi - stuck at the back of the pack
Debbie and Bianca - got lost in Chile
Godlewski Family - couldn't build a teepee, or find golf balls along a golf course
Lisa and Joni - stuck in the back
Wanda and Desiree - I'm not sure, because I haven't seen this episode (or most of this season...)
Danielle and Dani - Yielded
Kellie and Jamie - had trouble aiming in the Roadblock
Dustin and Kandice - too far behind to catch up to everyone else
Lyn and Karlyn - got a bad flight on the final leg
Dustin and Kandice/ Charla and Mirna - beat out in the end by a luckier team at the final task
Kate and Pat - too slow in the Netherlands
Mariana and Julia - inadvertently helped the team that ended up eliminating them
Shana and Jennifer - had trouble on the Roadblock and then got lost on top of that
Marisa and Brooke - got lost in New Zealand
Kelly and Christy - the number detour did them in
Christie and Jodi - got lost in Russia and couldn't make up the NEL penalty in India
Kisha and Jen - pee break, and it didn't help that they got lost a couple hours, as well as U-turned
Cara and Jaime - out-smarted at the final task which was a memory task
Maria and Tiffany - weren't strong enough at either Detour, one of only 3 or 4 F/F teams to fall due to a "male bias"
--- End quote ---
Totally agree. To date, no all-female team were ever eliminated on the first leg which tells us a F/F team are strong enough to last at least one leg.

Yeah, There are many F/F teams that are good enough but gets eliminated usually because of such difficult tasks (Not necessarily "Male biases") or getting lost, or bad luck
But there were some strong female teams that could last several legs
