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."

I get tired of it too. They could give them a little bit of spacing....Heck, all they have to do is every 4 or 5 days, send then somewhere that doesn;t have a lot of flights. SO you could get some spacing and then have them go somewhere that there is only one flight a day(or everyother day). I don't know. I get real tired of them leaving every morning at 2:00 am and going 20 minutes to the airport and then all bunching up for the first flight....Kills aall the drama.

This has all been hashed out before on previous threads.My suggestion is that no one leave before 6 a.m. local time. If you arrive earlier, you get extra time at the pit stop. If Team #2 arrives 20 minutes after Team #1, who arrived at 2:30pm, then T#1 does not leave at 2:30am, but leaves at 6:00am, and Team 2 leaves at 6:20am, etc. Airports are natural bottlenecks and generally cannot be avoided. Perhaps a competition before flying, so that flights can be made/missed would be of interest.  
Contradictions don't exist. If you are faced with a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

All I want to say is :WHERE IS THE BOTTLENECK when you MOST need it!!! I have been praying when Jon/Al miss the flight that there would be some bunching at Australia, but instead, the team just sprint into action of detour and roadblock without any further bunching when you MOST need it. With all the other bunching which did not matter much, the one and only one where it should be, wasn't there! The aim of bunching is to ensure no team got leave too far behind by flight such that there is no way of them catching up with other team, but there isn't one to save Al/Jon. In the end, they have to use editing to make the show 'look' exciting, make Al/Jon 'look' close to other team. *sigh* ----------------- Bye!! --------------------

I understand your hatred of bottlenecks. They are annoying and the result is AR is more of a race of little sprints rather than a marathon. Where strategic advantage gained in one leg is summerily wiped out the next 'cause of bottlenecks.However, what bottlenecks prevent is one team gaining an insurmountable lead over the rest of the pack. That situation is far more unpleasent and will make you long for the days of bottlenecks like the candy you had as a child or the girl you met that summer, only to not see her ever again! Bottlenecks, the necessary evil of the Amazing Race. Busco Man - holder of 10% interest in Bottleneck Inc.
