I'm from Oklahoma also. But it won't make me stop watching. I still want to see who wins it.ms7168https://www.blogger.com/profile/16378946221709656277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-85530694929514459882011-04-30T03:29:17.625-04:002011-04-30T03:29:17.625-04:00I agree cross-team assistance should not be allowe...I agree cross-team assistance should not be allowed during detours/roadblocks as these should remain as mandatory challenges that teams must complete on their own (as opposed to navigating point-to-point). <br /><br />I support the Cowboys too, but ultimately, they were undone by all their own bad decision-making. Jet made a crucial one abandoning Gary, especially knowing he had taken a wrong turn and would not have the right distance. Surely he should be confident of outpacing Gary after the detour? When he met Gary, he knew he had taken a 6.5km wrong turn, but notice he probably ended up adding that difference to his eventual total, and gave a 35km answer (13km extra). Their unnecessary bad flight decisions in the last two legs also flagged them out as strong teams who are able to come from behind to the others, which led to the information conspiracy and their eventual demise in the game. Too bad this season just got a lot less interesting without them.Eudaemonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-23369622374462176092011-04-25T18:15:18.033-04:002011-04-25T18:15:18.033-04:00This season's TAR is over for me - when the Co...This season's TAR is over for me - when the Cowboys went, I went. It's sad that they went out in such a lousy way with the other teams conspiring. But, as always, the Cowboys kept it classy all the way.

I believe that it's not forbidden in TAR rules. <br /><br />However, how come the Globetrotters did not receive 30 minutes penalty? I believe that Flight Time did not go back to mile 0 like what the clue said (i need to re-watch the show again tomorrow).<br /><br />Also, Jen and Kisha should have received 30 minutes penalty since Jen lost her map while completing the roadblock. Dan and Jordan from Season 16 got 30 mins penalty because Dan lost his paint brush in one of the detours. <br /><br />I wonder if TAR rating will go down next weekPamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-86618602767755329212011-04-24T22:45:28.923-04:002011-04-24T22:45:28.923-04:00I consider it cheating when you don't do the c...I consider it cheating when you don't do the challenge the way it was meant to be done. It wasn't a cross-team challenge. Same thing as waaay back in the beginning with the password flag thingy.
