Did you watch All Stars Wally? if so what did you think? I was disappointed in the challenges ..they were more brains then brawn. Uchenna & Joyce thought this was done mainly for Charla because of her ummm short comings.

Yes, I watched the entire season and enjoyed it. I don't think the tasks were super hard but I think they compare pretty favorably with several of the other seasons. I think they inserted some mind challenges that were legitimately tough. I'm sure part of the reason to even out the tasks is the dominance of young, male teams in the race - there are enough other advantages for the most physically fit teams that maybe the thinking is to put a higher importance on the mental aspects. All of the long running between tasks, to detours, etc. (much of which you don't get a sense for by watching) is where the physically dominant teams get much of their advantage.
I wasn't very impressed with the end of the race - very contrived to assure a close finish, which I think isn't necessary. Overall, even though I would love to be on an all-star race, I don't think all-stars add much to the show. If the idea is to generate ratings I don't think it does much to accomplish that as the only people who are interested in prior teams would probably be watching anyway. As I've heard talk of getting teams with "known" team members, I think this could maybe get some ratings boost - not that it would be better racing.

Yeah that about the finale Wally. TPTB wanted to make sure no team got left in Hawaii :snicker:. Also our detectives found 2 unaired tasks...one being the Roadblock, free falling cliff dive and then another task in San Fran where they had to locate the Grateful deads house our something to find the clue that moved them on to the mint.
We are so looking forward to tomorrow to see what CBS has in mind for TAR12 :happy:
