Reality TV World Message Board Forums
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."

"South and North - how confused can you get?"
OK - Quito is in the central northern part of Ecuador. Cotopaxi Park is about 50 miles due south from the city. The teams were given a map on how to get there. There was an emphasis on entering the park on the north end. To get to the north end you drive south out of Quito. The first part of the park you will come to as you drive south is the north part. However, if you keep driving (at least another hour it would seem from comments Sunday night) you'll eventually come to the south end of the park. Of course, to do so you would have had to pass by in the proximity of the north end of the park.

How can any of these teams be called an All-Star team if they don't know north from south? I understand they were traveling in the southern hemisphere (barely), but north and south don't change down there.

Dood! They couldn't even figure out that they were in Ecuador, not Peru.

Maybe they do and nobody told us.

Yes. For heaven's sake. People who have been on the show before are making the same mistakes as if they'd never done the show at all.

I can't believe they were given a map that only some of them read. I can't believe that anyone would be given a map and then still ask a local to take them.

One assumes that this map was not just a piece of paper, blank except for an arrow marked "You are here" and an X where the park is.

Map-reading abilities are right up there with driving a manual transmission as prerequisites for TAR contestants. How could so many "all-star" teams screw up reading a map??
