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.

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."

"Finish Line Question" |
Question: My memory is very fuzzy on previous teams' hometowns, but has the finish line for any race ever been in the hometown of a team in that particular race? It seems to me that if, say, Marshall & Lance had been a final 3 team, they would have been at a distinct advantage driving from Fort Worth to Dallas, since I'm sure they've done it many times. They could know the back ways and ins and outs of getting through traffic.Hell, I can think of about 20 ways to get from the Stockyards to the finish line and avoid *most* of the traffic right off the top of my head.

Actually, when I heard they were finishing in Texas, I thought Colin and Christie were dead. The hometown team always comes in second.In TAR 1, Frank and Margerita were from the fnishing city of NYC and knew the area in Queens where they finished very well. Frank showed the taxi driver the "fastest" way to go. Rob and Brennan, from LA, relied on their taxi driver. They ended up taking different routes, and R & B won. In TAR 2, Will had lived in San Francisco and knew his way around. Chris and Alex followed in their cabs, Will tried to decoy them to no avail, and of course C & A, although their cab arrived second were close enough to take a foot race to the finish. Of course, C & C are from Corpus, not from Dallas, but they likely knew Dallas pretty well.

In most cases, I would expect a taxi driver to be very familiar with altrnate or faster routes since they spend so much times on the streets. So maybe being from the city would not be that much of an advantage, ŠSlice & Dice Chop Shop 2004
