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."

"Rules question" |
I have a question about rules in the early season versus the most recent season. When the teams in season seven were in London they had the choice between the "brains" vs. "brawn" task, and for some inexplicable reason M/G chose the "brawn" task. Uchenna tried to help Meredith push one of the boats, and Meredith panicked because he would have been penalized if he received help on the task. But on tonight's episode one of the teams gave some of their fish to the other team, thereby helping them complete the task. What gives? Did the penalty in the most recent season apply only to that specific task, or were the penalties for receiving certain kinds of help only introduced later?

1. "RE: Rules question" |
It's hard to know for sure, since official rules are never published. All we can do is observe and sumise(sp?). But rule changes from one season to the next are nothing new. The maximum of 6 roadblocks performed rule is one. Time penalties for non-completion of tasks is another. Perhaps the Boston Boys helping the pastors out was the inspiration for the rule change that hindered M/G on the boat haul.
Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.

When I saw them giving the other team the fish I started yelling at my TV "CHEATERS!" and was shocked they weren't penalized for that... It sure would be nice for the producers to publish the official rules somewhere for us to see...--Donna :~)
