TARLA 1: Ferna and Fran vs Tamara and Matias
TARLA 3: Anyone, they where so soft whit each other and was almost boring to watch

There was two rivalries in TARLA 1: Tamara & Matías vs. Rodrigo & Anna (don't forget the insults both ways along the race until the brasilian team was elimintated) and Ferna & Fran vs Daniel & David (remember how the girls called David "el niño" - the kid - with rejection).

And in TARLA 2, Aleandra & Marlene vs. Vinicius & Guilherme.

Can a team use their Express Pass to skip the Fast Forward task and go directly to the pit-stop?

I remember reading somewhere (I think it was on the AR Wiki) that a team will incur a 4 hour penalty if this happens. But I reckon that that's fair.

ONE MORE TIME. THE ANSWER IS NO.

I remember seasons 17 and 19 as having no real team dramas. In fact teams seemed to get along so well it was almost boring

addie · « **Reply #530 on:** July 14, 2012, 08:04:24 AM »

Season 17 had Nat & Kat vs. Chad & Stephanie and it wasn't broing

Jill & Thomas vs. Brook & Claire?

addie · « **Reply #532 on:** July 14, 2012, 08:09:16 AM »

I remember that not certainly as a drama. Brooke & Claire weren't really angry at them, from what I know.

Yeah, I don't really remember that as a rivalry at all.

Hello, one question about TAR17 has been stuck in my head since a long time ago and I just couldn't find the answer in the web, so I guess perhaps so of you will know?..

Why did Nick & Vicki not have to do a speed bump after their first NEL?

Declive · « **Reply #535 on:** July 20, 2012, 03:09:46 PM »

The judges of that detour made a mistake. Nick and Vicki got it but spended much more time than needed , because the judges missed the right anwser.

Oh, thanks! Something about that (judge being incorrect) seems familiar, maybe I have seen it somewhere a long time ago, so that I couldn't remember? :?

Right before posting this, another question popped into my head: how many roadblocks can a single person do and is there a rule that there can't be a difference of more than 2 in the number of roadblocks both team members have completed?

Prophet · « **Reply #537 on:** July 20, 2012, 03:21:05 PM »

The how many roadblocks question has always been complicated. Some seasons seemed to be different than others but I don't think anyone has been able to do more than two more than their partner since season 6.

Ikurriña · « **Reply #538 on:** July 20, 2012, 03:58:57 PM »

In season 17 Connor perform the first 4 roadblocks and then they were eliminated.

APABLD · « **Reply #539 on:** July 21, 2012, 06:54:57 AM »

In season 4, Tian peformed 6 Roadblocks to Jaree's 0.

Hmm, that's interesting, because by leg 7, Michael had done 2 RBs and Kevin had done 4. However, before the leg's RB, Kevin says something like 'I've done 4 RBs and my dad's only done 2, so he had to do this one'.

??

That question still remains a mystery, I guess.

The ROADBLOCK BALANCE RULE was instituted after season 5.

Maybe the better example of egregious ROADBLOCK splits was season 5's finalists. Their splits were:
Chip 9 Kim 1
Brandon 9 Nicole 1
Colin 8 Christie 1

Well , Kevin only sayed that , because of strategy . If Michael could do this "easy" ones , than Kevin could do the hard ones later in the game.

And also Flo: 1, Zach: 9. I don't even remember which Roadblock Flo did back then

What's is your idea of the 'perfect team'? Is it one that is polite and nice and still races well or maybe ultra-competitive, no-nonsense team or something else?

a team that only argues amongst themselves, plays fair and strategic, races consistently, sense of humour, kind and likeable

I don't know whether this has already been asked, but if a team used a Blind U-Turn, would they have been allowed to use a normal U-turn later on in the race (because they still had their Courtesy Of picture)?

Luke of TAR14 and TAR18 drops by here from time to time, and I believe he said at one point that he and his mother would have been able to use the U-Turn in China, if they had gotten there first.

That's my recollection as well.
