That's like saying "For crash safety reasons, we have removed all cars but the Dodge Neon." But worse. Like "for safe sex reasons we have prohibitted all sex but anal sex with monkeys."

You've got it backwards. West of Billings the scenery gets interesting enough to not need help. But to get across NoDak and eastern MT without going into a boredom-induced coma is an accomplishment. My theory is that one can simply point the car west after Fargo, set cruise control and be fine until the MT border isn't completely accurate. There is the occasional semi and deer to avoid hitting and once in awhile the road deviates by a degree or two.

Staying awake was important and the Fugee Mom doesn't like "loud music" so the Bryson books were a compromise.

Amazing Race Dirt
 

So it seems Rob feels cheated because apparently the pilot on that last flight was a Lex fan from Survivor (I stopped watching Survivor before Africa, but there must be some beef between Rob and Lex from All-Stars? nCs?* Less?). I guess he supposedly held the flight up to sabotage Rob's chances somehow.

I say, so fucking what? Rob and Amber benefited numerous times from being recognized on the race, having people basically do their challenges for them and act as their guides. When it works against him, he implies that the race is fixed? Fuck you. He's treated people like ass on national television for years. He didn't think any of it would bite him in the ass?

*On a side note, shouldn't your moniker always be in different cases to really stress the point.

Amazing Race Dirt
 

Great scoop. What's the source?

Amazing Race Dirt
 

I think that Rob made a deal with Lex on Survivor all-stars, then, in order to save Amber's ass, or to be with Amber or something like that, he screwed Lex over.

Amazing Race Dirt
 

Rob's been bitching in a bunch of places about the fact that the pilot closed the door and reopened it. Leno and somewhere else as well, apparently. Didn't mention the personal issue the pilot had, though. His previous assertion was CBS producers ordered the door reopened in order to make the finish close. Seems like a more likely reason than the pilot didn't like him.

BTW, Rob should stop bitching about anything CBS does, since they paid a former bricklayer much $$ to have his wedding televised, and paid for his wife to get a sweet, furnished house in Pensacola. Along with a giant, autographed Red Sox 2004 Champions painting hanging above the bed. What woman wouldn't want that?

Why did they keep mentioning that the identical multiples were conceived without fertility drugs. Duh! Identical, by definition, means they were conceived without fertility drugs.

I think Bo has a career after this, but what? It's hard to have rocker cred after AI. Does he join a band, and, if so, is he just another bandmember or is it Bo and the Attican Bedshitters?

"The girls _ Adelle, Bonnie, Chloe and Daphne _ each weigh about 5 pounds"

And they probably mention it because a lot of people may not realize that identicals can't be the result of fertility drugs. It makes sense to me, but I certainly didn't immediately think, "wow, identicals, so there weren't even fertility drugs!"

This was my assumption when I watched the finale. And why wouldn't they do that? Otherwise the last 45 minutes of the show is worthless. R/A eventually would eventually find that stupid cigar shop and would be uncontested to the finish. Hell, I would go so far as to assume that CBS has some pull in how most of those flight legs are staged. They can't control late arrivals, etc., but I would not be surprised to know that they have some imput in whether TAR people make it on the plane from the waiting list, etc. Maybe I am too much the cynic.

wasn't he already part of TV Funhouse, or some HBO comedy show?

Amazing Race Dirt
 

I assume CBS plays deus ex machina as well. Maybe the pilot screwed up and was told to take both contestants, and mistakenly pulled the gate away. (I'm still not convinced that Colin and Christie--the intense couple on the 5th season-- couldn't make the flight that would have put them 24 hours ahead of everyone on the way to New Zealand (or whereever)



Dug up the article I saw. Uchenna and Joyce have a pretty good response . . .

From Overheard in New York - I find the Hobo's response surprising.

Amazing Race Dirt
 

I don't think so. There are specific laws governing the interference with these types of game shows. Tampering with the game this way, as opposed to clever editing seems way too risky to me for such a limited payoff.

Also, everything they do is most likely mapped out and scheduled way before the show begins (barring catastrophe). They test each of the legs out with employees of the show long before the contestants get involved. They know who will be where, when and they most likely had it set up so that all three teams would be on that flight for the last leg. Unfortunately, they didn't account for Uchenna's team being the worst beggars ever and Kelly's team not knowing how to drive to the airport. Hell, the last few challenges were intentionally super-easy (cut onions, hit a golf ball 140 yards, find a store) that they probably thought there was no way there wouldn't be a mad dash to the finish line).

What is more likely (to me, at least) is one of the following: (i) the flight was going to be slightly delayed in taking off or the pilot knew s/he had enough in-flight make up time that s/he decided to take the extra passenger since it wouldn't affect the arrival time, (ii) an American Airline exec, on their own (with full knowledge of when the racers would arrive on the last leg, I'm sure), decided to increase their advertising (and air) time by agreeing to open the door when they otherwise wouldn't or (iii) the pilot really didn't like Rob and Amber.

I'm fine with all three of those. And if it's (iii), Rob should shut the fuck up because he got on another flight at an earlier point in the race after the door had closed on him. He seems to have a selective memory when it comes to conspiracy theories.
