Roadblock.

After season 5 they brought it an rule where one person can do a max of 6 roadblocks. This was to make it fairer for the non macho treams really. And also to make sure that each team member pulls their weight.

If you like in season 3 for example - Zach did I think all but one of the roadblocks and Flo did one. Perhaps if flo had had to do her fair share they might have been knocked out. Also Ian did 8 roadblocks and Teri only 2.

And they came 1st and 2nd in TAR 3

In season 4, Kelly did 2 roadblocks and John did 8. They came 2nd. Then there was the all girl team of Tian & Jaree. Tian did every single roadblock. Cos Jaree was bloody useless.

In season 5, Chip & Kim won. And he did 9 roadblocks and she did 1.

Yeah I think Phil was good speaking out about the dynamic. I'm more with Andrew here. For me - TAR is all about the experience for me. Not the money.

I've jusr watched the latest episode of the amazing Race Asia 3.

I tell you what, if you guys have access to torrent, you should have a look at TAR Asia. I've seen all three seasons now, and the second one I thought was tough, but this season is much tougher.

These guys are put through a LOT more strain than their US counterparts. They stuff a lot more stuff in each leg, the legs are gruelling.

its quite interesting becasue in TAR Asia there is a lot more nationalities. As its for the whole of Asia. So  Japan, India, Thiland, Manilla, Hong Kong, Phillipeans etc etc are all represented.

weesh a triple posting by me ....But meh - I love TAR more than Brokeback I think!

Anyway... Dan-drew well they are such bumbling idiots that I actually love them.

I quite enjoyed Tina & Ken doing so badly for once. They've been doing too good. Its nice that you see each team in good and bad scenarios to see how they react.

And I don't want Starr & Nick to win. I dont hate them but I dont want them to win. Coll they prize they got a CAR each!? How good is that!?!

I hope they are in India next week as I want to see more things that will interst me for when I land in india.

At least I know what International arrivals looks like now tho!! But I dont think that while I'm in Delhi I'll need to go to Moon Motors in Delhi.

Interestingly, TAR Asia were also in India this week, but in Cochin - they washed hefalumps.. sooo cool!

I wish I knew what "Torrent" is, LOL!,  because I sure would like to watch TAR ASIA!  Sorry, I'm really not a savvy downloader...

- I was impressed at how Ken & Tina handled their last place standing.  I was expecting them to implode under the stress of not being ahead of the pack. 
- And now that I've secured my status as a Nick & Starr hater, they haven't done a thing to piss me off, LOL!  They are the team that I selected to win in the poll here, so I'll be happy whether they win or lose.
-When are you going to India, Kelda?  How exciting!

Torrent, I didn't really understand either but Callum (my partner) set it all up and its now so easy to download! Get someone IT literate to help you!!

And hence I sit and veg in front of amazing race episodes - i'm watching the asia season and the US season concurrently and if i get bored I watch some of the old seasons i downloaded from torent too. I tell ya the producers are missing a buck outta me as I'd so buy the DVDs if they brought more seasons out to buy.

I'm off to India in Jan.. you can read more here! http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,23310.0.html

I ahve to say i see a bit of Tina in me - I like to take the lead when it comes to travelling - asking the questions, doing the organising!!!

You still need to see yesterday's episode, when so & so surprisingly come in last, then you'll be caught up.
