*!SLAP!* Are you willing to bet your life that you got all the crocodiles out and away from the river before that Fast Forward hit? Not their lives. Yours. The Wednesday competition just lost a player: don't be so eager to match that record.Slap For those wondering why Caroline & Jennifer couldn't split up at the police station: it's a course rule. If they're not separated by a Roadblock, teammates must stay within a certain distance (typically less than fifty yards) of each other at all times. This was clearly a case where an exception needed to be made. If not for the helpfulness and honesty of a local, they could have wound up eliminated by an invisible bungee cord.
No Hand Movement However, adherence to local traffic laws is a problem belonging strictly to the Racers. Revenue-raising speed traps aren't friendly in any jurisdiction, but ticketed teams are in no way the fault of Production. (There is a question of why immediate payment had to be made and not, say, after Pit Stop check-in, but the teams really had no way of knowing whether they'd jump nations mid-leg. And the government might not travel-clear anyone with an active fine.)
Clap Racers driving themselves. Oh, the hilarity. My, the number of people who can't follow or take direction. Gee, that poor wounded telephone pole.
Slap Arguably poor editing during the transit delay sequences. The early suggestions had teams being hung up for something that could have been hours: catch-up time showed others barely halfway across the river, if that. It had reached the point where I was almost expecting an All Night Long makeup: it may have been about twenty minutes.
Clap Animal antics which didn't risk fatalities. It took me a while to decide where to place the donkey branch of the Detour, but I'll give you this one in the name of comedy: the only thing harder than making a donkey cooperate is getting an honest edit out of a reality producer. Credit is also given for allowing the normally-sitting Racer to lightly participate in the Roadblock by turning them into waterborne goat restraints, as it probably saved a few goat lives --
-- from crocodile attack.
