Amazing Race Questions
Declive:
What i meant to say is that , if a season previously had 7 or 6 FF played on the race , they can easily have one planned for 6 or 7 legs on the new TAR's too.

I am in agreement with the philosophy that more FAST FORWARDs would be a good thing. However, frequently World Race Productions wastes them, like in the past 2 legs where the advantage earned by Art and JJ was minimized to a very small time due to careful setting of pit stop times vs. train times by WRP. If that happens (and plane schedules are an even more likely equalizer), then all a FAST FORWARD does is lead to a first place team prize. I believe a team should get a real advantage for some longer period of time.

No, they can't. They were given up for budget reasons once several went unclaimed, from what I understand. I think we will have to be glad with one, maybe two again someday.

It also leads to that team gaining an advantage in their level of tiredness compared to other teams. They did not have to perform as many tasks, take as many taxi rides, etc. They should have a much lower level of physical and mental stress at this point than the others.
WRP cannot allow a team to continue to get farther and farther ahead or they could potentially arrive at locations ahead of Phil and the crews because Phil has to wait for the last team to arrive at the pitstop.

Where do you discuss the episodes here? I know there is a spoilers forum but I think that is for speculation on what will happen and for sightings ahead of the episodes.
