TAR 22 Ep 7 "Be Safe and Don't Hit a Cow"
georgiapeach:
I don't like the FF in a linear leg either. It needs to be after a bunch so anyone has a chance.
And of course....when was the last time a team didn't get a FF? :res: Jersey Shore?

Of course, it isn't clear if their attempt is successful...or not!! :lol:

However, it might be instructive to check out what percentage of completed Fast Forwards have gone unchallenged. The only easy way I know to do this is a historical analysis for the entirety of Amazing Race seasons to develop the data from scratch for seasons 15 to 21 but use as a database for seasons 1 to 14 a favorite Amazing Race reference book "Circumnavigating the Globe: Amazing Race 10 - 14 and Amazing Race Asia 1 - 3" pp. 261-265:

My conclusion is that 35% of all historical FAST FORWARDs have been contested and 65% uncontested. Which one will AR22 ep. 7 be? Available history cannot answer that yet.

Yeah...and this is a LINEAR FF too! No way they can side-by-side be having a water skiing race. :groan:
NOT GOOD LEG PLANNING. This would be MINUS points in the Design Challenge.
