What do you think about the Fast Forward?
zacz:
As the fast forward stands now there can be NO strategic use, its basically if you get there first then you take it. I know they were removed from every leg because it became expensive and often no team went for it.
However it IS possible to reduce the cost associated with the fast forward without getting rid of it completely. Not all the fast forwards were expensive even in the earlier seasons. Simply place the fast forward in places that are difficult to find and possibly make the teams going for it take public transport. The process of locating the fast forward would be difficult and thus a task would not be required.
I don't mind the express pass, it could easily replace the fast forward BUT I think every team needs to automatically start the race with one. Maybe put in the rules that only one team can use the fast forward on any given task to stop all teams simultaneously skipping the same task.

I agree with the person that posted that there should be several EP hidden and teams may attempt to find or retrieve it it during a Pit Stop or resting point. One user already suggested burying several ones in sand (like the first task in Season 7). Other idea could be, if they're camping in a frozen region, have several clue envelopes (only 2 or 3 with EPs and several TRY AGAINs) inside blocks of ice and have teams breaking them. IMO it would work best during non-racing time and have teams try to get them as soon as they reach the resting point.

Apskip, your list is wrong. Teri and Ian (2nd) also won a Fast Forward in TAR3 - the carpet shop one in Marrakech.
