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."

5. "RE: What a Dumb Roadblock" |
All and all, I would say that many of the tasks in recent seasons have been pretty lame - weighing people, catching fish, etc. They seem to swing from the extremes of ridiculously easy, excruciatingly physically demanding, or just long and boring. It seems pretty rare that teams don't finish tasks in virtually the same order that they started them. I would like to see the tasks on a whole become more meaningful to the outcome of the game. (But with all the bunching this is kinda moot)I wish that tasks were more time consuming as well as more mentally challenging, while still being physically challenging. The longer a task is the more opportunity there is to screw it up IMO. The raft bulding in this episode was a good example. The spelunking and the tea delivery - also good tasks. Tasks were you dig in sand until you find something - not good tasks. Tasks should be more than just spending 5 minutes doing some mindless chore as a lot of the tasks are. They should be an opportunity for teams to move ahead based on their real skills (although I'm sure Rob appreciates how limber Amber is). This task was especially frustrating as it precipitated a non-pitstop overnight rest so there was plenty of time to do something long and involved and the limbo could have been incorporated into it. I think it's been mentioned in other threads that in the first season there was a lot more emphasis on people having to use their brains on both the tasks and figuring out the clues. I miss that.

I kinda like the Brain one in London. Although the next time they do something like that, they have to make it a rule that the racers can't ask locals for the answers, which in turn would force them to go to a bookstore or find an internet cafe.
