Topic: TAR 27 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread **SPOILERS**

[naejae91]

I think it's time to have the BMS thread for TAR27.

I know everybody was excited for the public start, but still some of them bitching about LA start again as usual. 

[Declive]

The starting city is not relevant...

[Marionete]

Yeah, I mean it would be fun to see different start line cities, but it's not relevant compared to the actual countries they visit and the tasks they do.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE TEAMS
If there are blind dates again, I really hope to see a F/F team.

[batman06]

I really dont want another blind date season. I really really dont.

[Marionete]

Me too, but I have a suspicion we will have some singles this time, too.

[naejae91]

Yay, Brazil start again. 

Rio De Jeneiro.    (Although I want they go to Sao Paulo.)

Leg 2 Amazon leg plz.

[Mandoli]

I really dont want another blind date season. I really really dont.

If anything, there'll probably be two blind date teams. Max.

[stekay]

The cast looks nice and diverse!

[Platrium]

Gonna post it here but it's pretty off topic. Just wanna rant my stuff here:

Just when I got the connection to the live cam for the live starting line, the laptop shut down, I lost my connection to the Internet, and the computer mouse was broken. When I got my connection back, the net was laggy, so I didn't get to see much.

[Platrium]

I don't like the EP being valid until the 5th leg only. Also, 1 team on the 1st flight is just a no-no to me. That's not because they have an advantage, but if a delay happens right then and there, it just ruins the fun and suspense.

[smiley]

I'm going to moan about all the moaning and complaining about the race when the race has barely started.

[Mandoli]

Agreed. It's the first leg. If there's already less drama, then I wouldn't be interested.

But if the 1st flight delay is about half an hour then everyone will start in Rio at about the same time and the flight wouldn't even matter

Yeah. But I was talking about it being delayed for hours.

Yeah, the way they start the race was very lousy compared to the TAR25 start.

No one is getting to Rio until tomorrow anyway, I looked up potential flights, and there are a ton of them between noon and 2 PM PDT and all have layovers.

[LeonardTheKoala]

Finally for the second time we have a midget team on the race since Mark and Michael, I suspect teams will underestimate them and they'll probably end up as underdogs  anyway good luck to all the teams on the race.

Nothing's perfect.

[Keepcopz]

1 team on first flight is so ridiculous. Better split to 3-8 ot 4-7. But maybe they're trying to so something new, just hope it paid out well.

EP to leg 5 is okay, since teams aren't likely to use it anyway to the point that it's kind of pointless (Only Jill & Thomas and CaroJen are the only exception I think that EP save them from danger elimination). Limit it to leg 5 will force them to use it more easily.

Is the save returning this season?

[Platrium]

If I were in a racer's shoes, I think I'd rather go for the 2nd flight with everyone else. Being alone and not seeing any teams can mean that either the team is way ahead or way behind. Still, I'm really worried if the 1st flight gets delayed.

The two flights departing half an hour behind are
a) AAL252/AAL905 departs at 2 PM connecting to Miami (1 hour and 58 minutes connection time) arriving in Rio at 9:27 AM
b) UAL1693/UAL129 departs at 2:30 PM connects on Houston (1 hour and 31 minutes connection time) arriving at 9:25 AM

If those two are the 2 flights, the 2nd flight becomes the 1st arriving flight

Then what is the point of the bike race?

[Marionete]

Don't you think, that logically the second flight would ARRIVE half an hour after the first one, not DEPART?
