TAR 17 New Game Play Twist
Coutzy:
Just had a thought, what if CBS wants to make alliances more relevant?
What if, in the polar opposite of a U-Turn, one team can choose to allow another team to skip both sides of the Detour??? :duno:
Caelestor:
I wouldn't be surprised if this replaced the FF.

Me neither, assuming it does allow a team to skip one or more tasks. But if it's going to replace the Fast Forward, it should have some new aspect to it other than just allowing a team to skip. Maybe it would have to be bought with the money the teams have collected - a way to save some money on the budget while creating an intriguing new game element for viewers. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully it will make the game more strategic and entertaining.

I planned to change Fast Forward in my fanfic to "Highway Express" since FF is not a road sign name. :lol:
I think there's a good chance it will replace the FF, recently there's been only one FF per season.
Can't wait to see it. Hopefully it becomes a hit and will be used over and over. What happened to the Switchback?
Caelestor:
Well the FF hasn't really had a strategic purpose since S4. If you can choose any leg (up to maybe the 8th) to use it, I wouldn't mind it. In fact, it'd probably be a net benefit.
Now they need to increase the number of U-turns (4?) per race in order to add some actual strategy and lower the kill ratio of that thing.
