Most Geographically Challenged Teams
ghmorello:
Throughout the race, teams have made stupid comments relating to geography or other common sense topics. I hate how dumb people can be. For example, a reporter SHOULD know what The Hague is. What comments throughout the race makes you cringe at our terrible geography knowledge?

Not everyone is a geography major.... Something to note.

I'm the biggest geography/flag nerd ever so the list is long! :funny:
• S27 | Joey | Arc de Triumph
• S28 | Zach |'We're going to Cuba! (Colombia)
• S27 | Krista | We're going to Rotterdam in Germany!
• SAu1 | Sam & Renae | Were going to Hong Kong, Where is that, I don't know In Singapore? :funny:
I can't think of anymore off the top of my head but two general things that bother me.
• We're going to Africa! | Probably just me being a nerd but I wish they said where they were going because Tiffany & Krista said this for Zambia which is suitable but Whitney said this about Morocco. Which is no where like stereotypical Africa.
• When teams arrive at a travel agent and say I need two tickets to China or Germany or Argentina! Why don't you say Shanghai, Munich or Buenos Aires. I don't like teams saying I need to go to this country why don't you say the specific City! Rant Over :funny:

True, but there's a difference between geography major and common sense.
Bookworm:
Blame the American School System for not teaching geography. Where I live, there are only two geography courses offered EVER, both in high school. One is standard (and very few people take it), while the other is AP, which doesn't delve too much into the locations of places on the map.
