I don't think there's anything magical about Singapore there. Think of all the past Amazing Race seasons and the dumb things that got people eliminated. How many of them were in Singapore? The answer is zero, since the elimination of John Vito and Jill on Mt. Faber does not count because it was poor navigation and not dumbness. However, Joab, fear not because I can think of two dumb things in Singapore in ARA1 and ARA2:
1. Allowing Rovilson to do the final flag ROADBLOCK when Marc could have done it much quicker (ARA2- finale). This got them a last-place-in the final-3 episode finish, 3rd overall in ARA2 (thanks methylc for the correction).
2. The Amazing Race - Universe blunder of blunders by Michael McKay in having the car-washing task as the only reason for a visit to Singapore (ARA1- ep.7). This did not get him eliminated, but only because he's the producer of Amazing Race Asia and cannot be eliminated.

I think Joab's excited about this team's elimination because it will happen in Singapore, his home land, a country that has been severely left out of recent TAR routes.

sounds like a Steve quote to me

Solution: the Second Link. Buses, especially those taking the Lebuhraya from Penang, have not been using the Causeway since... 1998, I think.
Joab might know what I'm talking about. :lol: :hugs:

People will have to help me with the timeline on this one -- I think I have it summed up (Timelines, Page 1) but there was so much info I might have missed/misstated something.
