Who Has the Most\Least Unfinished Business?

(1/3) > >>

Prophet:
Which teams do you feel like had the lamest excuses for returning on TAR:UB? Which teams have the least unfinished business to complete? Which teams have the most unfinished business to complete?

I personally think Mel and Mike and Kynt and Vxysin had the lamest excuses for returning based on their opening sequences. All the Goths are back for are ratings. I never understood why Mel and Mike were brought back except to maybe replace another team who could not return.

I personally think Gary and Mallory have the most unfinished business because they were unfairly eliminated on one of the hardest legs in TAR history. They seem like they have learned the most from their mistakes thus far.

What does anyone else think?

How were Gary and Mallory unfairly eliminated? A very large part of traveling around the world is navigating in places you aren't familiar with. The hard fact of the matter is they got lost. No taxi driver took them to the wrong place, no gas station attendant gave them bad directions. They had a map and they got lost. It was completely their own fault that they got eliminated, so please explain how their elimination was unfair. As for hardest legs in TAR history, go watch the Sahara episode of TAR 1, and then ALL of TAR 5, especially the final 4 leg in the Philippines. The Oman leg of TAR 17 is like Family Edition by comparison.

As for the teams with the most unfinished business, I hate to say it but I think most of the TAR 14 teams have a valid reason to be in that category. Mel & Mike were lead astray by a taxi, Kisha and Jen's mistimed potty break, Jamie and Cara having their taxi karma catch up with them, and then finally Luke, the person fully expecting and probably most prepared for a memory task, gets done in by a memory task.

Prophet:
Ok, maybe their elimination was not unfair. That's not the right word for it.
However they do have a lot of unfinished business, b/c I think that they more than anyone else have a drive to win this one. The sense you got from them at their elimination mat was that they were not at all done and that they wanted another chance. Perhaps you could say that about anyone but I think it was more with them.
Kisha and Jen are the same, it was not unfair b/c it was their fault but it was quite unfortunate. Margie and Luke seem to have a lot of unfinished business b/c they got so close to victory. Again it was his own fault, you could say that about anyone here. I guess only Krimanda was eliminated b/c of something they did not do, even so they got behind in order to be U-turned.
I don't think that unfinished business is about whether or not the elimination was fair (they really all are) but if their attitude is truly that they are not done.

Peace, Love, TAR! :D:
Personally, I think Zev and Justin have the most unfinished business. They went from last to first, and would have won that leg if they hadn't lost their passports. I know that it was their fault, but still...

I don't really like Jaime and Cara's excuse about a bad cab costing them the race gives them a second chance because a lot of teams had bad cabs that cost them the final leg, like Rob and Amber, Brent and Caite, Jill and Thomas. Also, isn't it just karma? Jamie was pretty rude towards the locals multiple times.
