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."

"Super Leg = New variation of the NEL?" |
In previous seasons, Super Legs have been legs in which it takes two episodes to resolve, mainly in which at the point the teams are about to hit a Pit Stop, they get a clue that refreshes their money supply and tells them that they're still racing and to GO GO GO! A few times, they've even went to the trouble of having Phil fake them out by having them hit a Pit Stop Finish Mat before the boom gets lowered by them...
Previously when the latter occurred, though, Phil didn't award a prize to the first team to see him... He just sent them back on their way. This year, Gary/Mallory won the Express Pass on the beach in Australia before being told to move along... multiple times, in fact. Last night, in China, Margie/Luke got the joy of winning a trip to Aruba, with lots of fun activities... only to then be told that they're still racing...
We haven't had what is normally a NEL yet, which is everyone logs in at the Pit Stop and then whoever's in last would have to deal with a penalty of some sort. For a while, it was nothing. Then came the Phil robbery (First it was all money on hand, and then it became whatever you're wearing at check-in, plus a bag for documents, is all you have for the rest of the Race...) After that came 'Marked for Elimination' in which you either finished in first or had to wait 30 minutes before checking in. Finally they came up with the Speed Bump, which was an extra task for that last place team... An extra task that could either be ridiculously easy, or up to a mild to moderate inconvenience...
We're approaching borderline coincidence with this, any thoughts?

1. "Three times is enemy action." |
One more without a standard Phil penalty and it's officially the new NEL. Two Superlegs on a course is a rare enough event: three would be unprecedented.

I like these Super Legs, they seem to be making the race flow really well, tired teams mean great TV!
