"A Fast Forward is a -- double dip?"
LAST EDITED ON 11-06-06 AT 06:28 PM (EST) The question: given that David & Mary had already used their one and only Fast Forward opportunity, could the fused Kentucky/Alabama team have taken it at all, with half of their members technically ineligble to compete? D&M obviously thought they could, or they wouldn't have been openly debating it. I may have missed something going back and forth from the TV, but right now, it looks like we have either a misunderstanding, a rules conflict, or a really weird twist in the middle of the Intersection. Opinions? Imagine them doing it, beating the other fused team, racing to the mat -- and then having to leave and tackle every task because they weren't supposed to tackle the FF. Another classic TAR moment that never happened.

1. "I think so"

Nothing that Phil said would have disqualified them. I'd like to see the clues involved, of course, but no chance of that. It would have been too unfair to D&M to do it the other way.
I'm realitybites and I approved this post.

I think it was a deliberate rules loophole to give the team "marked for elimination" another shot at a FF. It was painfully obvious the first time that a FF would be waiting for "marked" Dave and Mary, and this was a way for the producers to create the same possibility for the second "marked" team, even if it happened to be the same team who was "marked" previously.
You can call me a cynic, but it was obvious to me.

I thought that the rule that teams could only use the FF once, “when it was most advantageous”, only applied in the first few seasons of TAR when there was a FF every leg. It is my understanding that since there are now only two per season that any team can use either of them, regardless of having already used one.
Of course, I could be wrong…I don’t have the tapes to go back and watch the FF eps. and see if there was any mention in the past few seasons about only be allowed to use the FF once. But I don’t recall hearing anything like that in a long while…
