PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate

be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,

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."
The difference in the show was Uchenna and Joyce (well their cab driver) asked someone where the cigar shop was and got the right answer whereas Rob and Amber didn't get the right answer. It sucks in a race where one team completely outperforms the other teams on nearly all the other legs (and badly outperforms them) yet one little stroke of luck/tiny mistake lets some other team catch and pass them. Well, atleast kelly didn't win which is all I cared about. Uchenna and Joyce seem like nice people and I have no problems with them as people winning. I do have a problem in that they were completely inferior racers to both other teams the last two legs of the race. They should have received the Guido treatment of getting a clue that read "The million dollars has been won...."
Concerning the flight...it had producer manipulation all over it. They want two teams in the final city at the same time for whatever reason. It doesn't need to be that way as I think most would have been content with one final master stroke from a team that (a) hurries and catcehs up with the pack after a mistake and then passes them at a toll and (b) gets them onto an earlier flight. People weren't going to change the channel with 15 minutes left. They seemed to do this one time before two races ago. The had the brief stop in Calgary/Lake Louise and the final city was Houston (or Dallas). Two of the teams got the Calgary airport and booked one flight. The third team booked a different flight with a full connection in Denver risking the standby. They got standby tickets before leaving calgary and were home free by a few hours. Then all of a sudden the other teams take the same flight schedule (fine they may have figured it out) but the connection was still full in Denver. The other team was home free until the same thing happened and the airline had a sudden change of heart and let the other two teams on in Denver. Airlines didn't do those things then and they don't do them now. It cheapens the race when it looks to be manipulated beyond the usual bunching points.
And if it wasn't producer manipulation then they sure as heck have to show in the editing why all of a sudden Uchenna and Joyce were allowed on in complete breech of an airlines normal operating policy when it looks that bad and obvious. BUt of course we know they can't show it wasn't manipulation so instead we have a complete breech of airline operating procedure....I can tell you one thing there is no way I fly American again if I can help it!
