The whole thing with the Flanders Family has been "Citation Needed" on Wikipedia since it first appeared there.

TAR8 had cast eleven families. I believe the missing quartet dropped out at the last minute, consequently beginning the race with ten teams running on schedule.

Oh... so that's what might have happened. :ascared Anyway, thanks! :)

From what I know, that eleventh team (Flanders Family, IIRC) was cut instead of quitting because of cost issues.
They always have alternates on deck in case a team couldn't make it at the last minute. Max & Katie said they were alternates for 3 seasons before deciding to go for the villain-angle to get cast. Another example would be Mallory replacing Bopper at the starting line in S24.

Ah, that must have been heartbreaking. :( Two of the Flanders should have been invited back for TAR9 regarding the problem that production had caused them.

Oh. :ascared And Oh! :o
I don't know what is worse for Max & Katie's case: :( To be able to travel across the globe while being hated for being quasi-villainous OR not being casted to race but saving themselves from being hated.

For TBC legs from TAR6 to TAR14, are the midpoint placements counted in the team's placement average?
--- End quote ---
Depends on who you ask. If the TBC leg was a double leg, then yes, the midpoint is counted as far as my listing is concerned. If the TBC in actually a no rest pit stop, then its already two legs, there's no actual midpoint involved.
Keepcopz:
It's a long wait but I think it's worth the wait for Maxie since TAR22's route is way better than the 19-20-21. :hoot:
I don't think they were kind of paint that much as evil too. Especially toward the end.
