panamabob 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 02-12-05, 06:21 PM (EST) "Unfair...not in Chicago" What I didn't like was that the first team to skydive had to wait for the second team. That stuff happened all season...If next year is a year of bunching them up intentionally, then it will be my last.   Top

"RE: Unfair...not in Chicago" I would bet you don't make it half way thru the first leg before you decide you've had enough. The bunching is a necessary evil to keep the race close and interesting. When a team gets a one day lead on all the rest, the drama is gone. Handcrafted by RollDdice   Top

tvgeek401 1615 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Peanut Festival Grand Marshall" 02-15-05, 07:36 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Unfair...not in Chicago" I agree that bunching is necessary, but it was done to an excess last season. The race wasn't a race to the end of the leg, it was a race to the next bunching point. Teams who did well from leg to leg never got an advantage. I can think of several times last season where one or two teams arrived at a point several hours ahead of the rest but were stuck until all teams arrived. Bunching is good, bunching on so many tasks loses the point of the race-to be the best racer throughout the race, not just on the last part of each leg.

"RE: Unfair...not in Chicago" Fer sure...TAR6 was more of a tepid race b/c of the bunching. A little distance between teams would not have changed the overall results all that much.

"RE: Unfair...not in Chicago" There is no doubt that I agree there is too much bunching but for the casual watcher of the race, a close finish in most episodes is desired so the producers will keep on bunching although they might scale it back a bit. They ought to allow the airline flights and actual opening and closing times to facilities to cause the bunching but not allow planned waits till other contestants arrive and modified opening and closing times to cause the bunching.
