Does anybody think that the Poland leg was designed to be a TBC, but the flight fiasco forced the producers to break it up?

No, I doubt they were. In fact it was the flights that were the reason why those two legs were shown in one episode, because of Dustin & Kandice leaving before the last few teams were even checked in. I thought it was a really interesting way to do it, actually. Not very traditional, but much more realistic.
But two legs in one episode is not evidence of a double-length leg. In reality I think it was structured similarly to Season 10: the non-elims coincided with TAR 10's non-elims, the Intersection was again on Leg 8, and yes, once again, Leg 8 was an elimination leg. The only difference was the Uchenna & Joyce mercy elimination, which I doubt was originally planned to be that way. Two non-elims in a row with only the Final 4 is kind of anti-climatic.

NO relation, uycocoa. :lol:

I thought so too Peach. No producer is gonna grace here in RFF with his name as the username. :lol3:
BUT BUT BUT, I took a risk, I copied the answers of Evan (from Episode 5) to the RFF PickEm Game, which turned out to be a devasting decision. :lol3:

I have to say, BJ and Tyler, Eric and Jeremy, MoJo and Lake and Michelle killed TAR 9 altogether. But the fact that BJ and Tyler won killed the season entirely for me. And the reason why people hate them is because BJ and Tyler had no idea how annoying they were. Had they been an amazing team who's so fun loving and everything, they would have been asked back for Allstars.
But they were not. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :hearts: :hearts: :jumpy: :wohoo:
Darn those NELs which saved them... :(

GRRR! How could you you hate BJ and Tyler!!! (:;) They're one of my faves! Unless you're just kidding (which I hope you are) and dont use those many emoticons on hating teams!
I doubt they are making these legs NELs just to save the teams, they probably planned this from the beggining but definitely it was difficult to see their faves (and our faves) eliminated. In the case of the last leg, they probably planned that the leg in Germany be non elimination! Which is why Jordan and Jeff are not eliminated. There were a lot of cases that teams that we disliked were save by the NELs
Warning: Those who hate BJ and Tyler will be in very big trouble with me

Back to NEL discussion for me! :lol:
I knew there was something fishy with the Allstars NEL because they just can't have 2 F4 NEL back to back.. that's why i raised my suspicion.
Another one would be M/T getting eliminated in TAR 15.. i think it was meant to be an NEL. Seriously.

I don't believe that Maria and Tiffany's elimination had anything to do with the Detour. If you look at all the other NEL's, they all contain a BIG luck task just before the Pit Stop (Sushi Roulette, Haybales and Find the mini instrument)

Non elim legs have to be in the race since ther would be more episodes and locations. But I hate it when a back-of-the-pack team is always saved by non-elim. (:;)
