As reported by others the latest edition not only starts from Seattle, but from Gasworks Park, the site of the finish line in AR#3. Long time fans know that this was the edition when Zack dragged perhaps the whine-e-st(sp?) participant ever, Flo, to victory. It even prompted a rule change, as I recall that Zack did every challenge, and the powers to be no longer permit one partner to do everything.

Well I certainly hope that by starting in Seattle the horrible spectre of Flo can be erased from our collective memories....wasn't Ian also in that edition as well? Ok, that makes two horrible people to erase.....

Well actually, it was Kim who spurred the rule change as Chip did every single challenge on their way to winning TAR 5 -- TAR 6 was the first one where they required both partners to do an equal number of challenges.

But you do bring up a great point -- the Gasworks Park is a good place to exorcise the demons of one Florinka Pesenti! Now if only we can go back to Senegal where we could exorcise the demons of Kendra...

We'll have to hand off the Kendra exorcism to sittem, who's on-site in Senegal. Hopefully he can purge all of our memories of Kendra!
