PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: Write the unwritten." |
What's mine is mine. Unlike recent editions of Survivor, personal possessions are clearly off-limits. We've had too many conniving Racers with easy access to piles of luggage and no actual actions taken. Reroute a bag to France, tell a customs agents you smelled something funny, kick a clue pack under a chair... someone would have done something by now. And if a certain RussHole is the next non-person to make the series jump, someone will...The clue box stays in the picture. This might be just about the all-time piece of Racer sabotage. Get there, make sure no one is there with you, and then -- move the clue box. You don't necessarily have to move it very far. Sticking it just inside a nearby building could do it. Let it ride up and down in an elevator for a while. Say, is that an open manhole over there? (Worse -- but nearly impossible -- is to carry pre-written clues in sealed envelopes.) Clue boxes have to be off-limits -- along with the moving of flags, marker arrows, and the rest of the red-and-yellow pack. Besides, they like to turn invisible on their own. Pit Stops are quiet time. 'Here, have some more caffeine. No, it won't keep you up at all. Say, mind if I play loud music in my adjoining room all night while I'm sleeping in the lounge? By the way, I'll be calling every cab company in the area with your name and description to tell them you're a con artist who only summons taxis in order to rob the driver. Will that be a problem for you? Too bad.'

I almost had a brain freeze - I was thinking of a team that turned some posters of some kind around backwards so the other team couldn't see them -
then realized that was Bret on Celebrity Apprentice - not TAR.

You can't divorce or change partners mid-race Much as I'm sure some teams would like to either get rid of or trade partners, it just isn't allowed.

6. "RE: Write the unwritten." |
Ok, so first off, not sure if this is the correct thread for this but I didn't want to start a new one.
Second off, I will readily admit the team I wanted to win (cowboys) didn't so this is somewhat sour grapes but.....a few seasons ago (last season maybe....they are all blending together) one team, the oriental bro and sis I think, needed to buy plane tickets and mistakenly bought business class, and could not use them because of some unknown (to the viewers anyway) rule about only flying coach. But the brothers moved up to first class without a penalty or anything. So did they break the rules? Have the rules changed? We'd never know becuase they don't post the rules (AFAIK anyway). Personally I think the cowboys should have turned the brothers into airport security when they cut in line, since they can't physically touch another contestent, at least not push them out of line or anything like that. That might have done a couple of things....1. it would get them in the proper order in line, and 2. it might have labeled the brothers as trouble makers to the airline, then the flight attendents would be notified and possibly not so willing to move them up to first class when they asked. Of course as usual, hindsight = 20/20

LAST EDITED ON 05-11-10 AT 12:51 PM (EST)It's the Rule Of Fast Talk: if you can convince a local to take an action which doesn't directly interfere with another team, you're legal. So you must pay your taxi fare -- unless you can talk your cabbie into running you around for free, or accepting a non-shoe alternate form of payment. Racers can recruit natives as guides, argue down ticket prices, and while they can only buy coach tickets with their Official TAR Credit Cards, they're free to chutzpah their way into first-class -- as long as the people they're fast-talking choose to cooperate. The limit here is that you can only affect your own actions. You can convince your ticket broker to give you a half-price discount. You can't whisper 'The people behind me smell like gunpowder: call security' in the hopes of detaining them past flight time. Or rather, you can -- and thirty seconds later, your next flight concern will be the one to Sequesterville. So as far as turning someone in to airport security goes -- since you can legitimately report something that actually happened, it would come back to the local policy on line-cutting. And odds are at that hour in the morning, with all of five people in the line, it would work out to 'Why are you stupid Americans wasting our time?' But as for badmouthing teams to the flight attendants -- that's interference. And personally, given this year's crew, I'd consider just sitting back and wait for the personalities to alienate everyone around them with no help from me... A written rule: you can't use your credit card to book the entire plane.

10. "RE: Write the unwritten." |
I realize that airport security has better things to do than police line cutters, but with 1 million bucks on the line, and that line being so close....I think if I had been in the cowboys boots I would at least give it a shot. Chances are the brothers would back down just at the mention of "get me security over here....." because they knew they were wrong and probably wouldn't want anything to happen that might cause them to miss the flight. And what I was thinking is that if security did come over, the brothers might be labeled by the airline as trouble makers, and the airline would communicate that to the flight attendants, not the other teams. (probably wishful thinking on my part, but hey, indulge me)
The cowboys made a couple of mistakes on this leg and it cost them. The should not have allowed the line cutting, they should have figured out the spinning clue (the brothers already figured it out for them....they saw the one spinning and spinning.....) and they didn't have good notes for the memory challenge task.

Y'know, I've listened to Cowherd yammer about unwritten rules for about the last week, and I would tear my hair out over it if I had any...

23. "RE: *blink*" |
Not to be pedantic, but...34 winners. The Linz family from Season 8.**dodges a shoe** Or if that season officially never happened, 30 winners. Reichen and Chip are the only other homosexual-Americans I recall winning the Race, and frankly, I remember them more for being blundering doofuses than for being gay. Dan and Jordan winning was mostly getting off to a fast start, but an element of Superfan-ism was thrown in there - Jordan knew what the final task would be, and he was prepared. Jet and Cord were not the Superfans that Jordan was, and Brent and Caite were cast for entirely different reasons. Therefore, Bruck has a choice - he can either cater to the Superfans and have more of them win like this, or he can change the final task or make it more difficult, because, as I said in another thread, a trained monkey could complete this in under two minutes. Brent might even be able to fiigure it out. But this final task was lame, lame, lame, and it made the end an anti-climax. Only Brandy's ill-fated mouth-diarrhea redeemed it.

27. "RE: First rule of paper underwear is" |
I agree, that last memory challenge was lame compared to other seasons. Very anti-climatic ending. But that was par for this season. I thought this season overall was kinda lame. The legs weren't that hard. I thought when Jordan and Jeff got eliminated it was strange that all the teams never got bunched up. As for the lead the gay guys had from the get go in the final leg, I know it was legal for them to move up to 1st class, but for that to have a huge impact in deciding the race is wrong. Like I said before, not the best season to watch. Though I'm sure they're running out of ideas for challenges and locations and stuff. Maybe that is the reason why it was kinda lame.
