TAR16 - EP1: "Nana is kickin' your butt (Chile)"--
Slowhatch:
My :2cents: : The 3/8 split on airplane seats was a waste. Even if a team misses the first flight (ignoring the actual mechanical troubles), they're still with the "pack."
At the other end of the scale, an 8/3 split would eliminate some of the drama (we've already seen the editors go to great lengths to disguise the fact that a particular team is an obvious goner). Ideally? 6/5 or 7/4 IMO.

I believe this is the first time all of the teams were on the same flight(s) out of LAX and into the first city of the first leg. I suspect the first three teams were concerned about the time needed to make the connecting flight at DFW with the mechanical delay ay LAX, and the reasoning seems to have been along the lines of "better the devil you know than the Devil
Second, teams have no way of knowing what they will encounter once they get to that first clue box in the first country or how the teams might be stratified with the tasks and route makers for the leg. So from that perspective it made a lot of sense to me for those first three teams to switch to the other flight.
I'll bet that TPTB were stunned to see the top three teams make this choice, but it was a rational option under the circumstances. Those three teams certainly did not want to be the last three teams arriving at the airport in Santiago.
Glamazon Racer:
We originally had information that Leg 1 was going to be in Canada, back when filming had just started right?
The ironic thing is that we have Leg 1's prize as a trip to Canada. :neener:
