--- Quote from: Joab on October 23, 2011, 08:04:19 PM ---I didn't like how easy both Roadblocks were, it was so pointless to have 2 easy Roadblocks in a leg? I believe they intended to go to Phuket since the last leg was pretty well structured? But this Bangkok leg.. it's bad!

I agree, the water thing was really dumb but I think they wanted two roadblocks so they could avoid coming up with a Detour. In most legs it would have been an active RI.
Well, now we know what their backup legs look like.

I feel that they didn't wanted a Detour because that would mean another task to plan. :lol:
The RB really had nothing to do with the culture of Thailand.. except with the scenery.. which wasn't even great.. they were focusing on the muddy water in the "lake" instead.
The building the spirit temple one could have been a better Roadblock, for example make it even harder, focusing on details, make it hard to build, eyes for details in terms of colours/patterns/designs.
And... going to Bangkok all the way just so that they wouldn't have "2 legs" in Phuket? Come on WRP, we're not dumbs, we know that all the tasks in this leg took place in Phuket. Teams merely travelled to Bangkok to check-in. :res:
I'm not going to say Liz and Marie would have survived with a badly planned leg.. but with a leg like this, I thought it would have been better for the last leg to be a TBC, anyone with me? Then teams just had to continue with the tasks... then travel to Bangkok to check-in. But I guessed they needed to be on schedule. T_T

I think that one was actually worse, and I have no idea if that one was due to a sudden change in plans (which we think this one was).

We thought the last one was. Apparently, this one is. :lol: (I think?)

I think actually they had a better chance to survive this episode then a typical episode.
Since the bulk of this leg's time (the time it takes to due all task and get to Pit Stop) was in public transport. It allows factors like traffic, good and bad cab drivers, faster and slower buses to have a greater impact then normal.
I think on a typical episode they would have really been toast. THis is of course without me watching the first 20 minutes.
NoluckBoston:
Without having to search through all the postings,
what was the proposed leg and do we know?
mswood:
nevermind
