"Are FF's Really a Help This Race?" |
So far 3 of our remaining 6 have used the FF. But have they really helped them? K/G used theirs in the first episode out of fear that they couldn't compete with the 20-somethings, but would have probably finished ahead of a couple of teams without it. Then in the next episode they fell to 6th, but have done a great recovery since then. The Twins used theirs in the 2nd episode and were in danger of losing without it. It helped them get a big head start in the 3rd episode but the huge BUNCH waiting for the bus to leave for Aberdeen blew away their lead. They have been slowly falling ever since. T/I were feeling the pressure in Morocco and getting the FF has put them about 3 hours ahead of the second place team. I figure that they finished about 3pm where 2nd through 5th are probably separated by less than 30 minutes centered around 6pm. But will the head start hold to get to Germany? Checking airline reservations from Morocco to get to Munich shows that the best connections are from Casablanca. There are a couple of early flights that leave before 9am that get into Munich in mid-afternoon. Otherwise there are some flights around Noon but the connections seem slower and get into Munich in the early evening. If T/I are able to make one of those early flights it could put them in a good position to keep their lead (at least until the next inevitable BUNCHING point). BTW does Ian hire out for dog training? Sounds like he is practicing on his wife! Terri, COME! Terri, SIT!, Terri, HEEL!

1. "RE: Are FF's Really a Help This Race?" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-14-02 AT 01:29 PM (EST)I would speculate that if the final three are Ken/Girard, Flo/Zach and Teri/Ian as several spoilers indicate, that yes, indeed, the FF helped Teri and Ian. They have been in the bottom third of the teams the entire race, and getting ahead now seems to be a smart move, even if they wouldn't have been eliminated this episode. Your point is well taken regarding Ken and Girard--that they lost their lead after using the FF, but regained it again, thus reducing the benefit they gained by using the FF. However, it's impossible to know if they would have lost the first leg instead of the Soccer Moms, as Derek and Drew, the other team competing for the FF with them, came in second-to-last. So, the fact that they used the FF at a time they were at risk of losing, by default means it helped them, as they stayed in the game. Without a doubt, the FF helped Derek and Drew, as when they used the FF, they were in last place, and since using the FF, they have consistently been in the top three. Team cheerleaders' loss after using the FF is a moot point, as they were so completely far behind nothing would have saved them. With regard to the other three teams that used it, I think they made smart plays.
