Roadblock Count 6 or 7?
Rogue:
I like the 6/6 rule. Even if you have a team that went for the FF, they have to actually make it to the F3 for them to have an edge. This season a Fast Forward winning team did make it into the F3, but if Jill and Thomas used their Express Pass on a Roadblock instead of a Detour they would have been at 5/5 going into the finale as well; maybe 6/4. I think the 6/6 rule actually would have helped Jill and Thomas if it was reinforced. But they still would have worked it out for Thomas to have the last Roadblock. But I also agree because there was nothing said about the 7/5 rule there is a bit of deception.

One of the biggest problems that I have with TAR and other reality shows is the lack of transparency.
The National Football League publishes and sells their updated rulebooks for every single season for about $10, and even though the officials still botch calls all the time, at least it's possible to look up the rules whenever someone wants to.
I think it's insulting to those of us who've followed the show from the beginning to see Nick & Vicki only get a 6-hour penalty for not completing a detour, while Nancy & Emily got penalized 24-hours for not completing a detour. I feel the same way about the roadblock count.
It just gives the impression that they're making it up as they go along, and that's a bad thing. I don't understand why they don't just post or publish their rulebook. They probably consider their rulebook to be a trade secret, and I don't agree with that assessment.

Is this lack of transparency making you stop watching the show altogether?
