shouldn't there be an explanation of the rules if the other teams accidentally take or steal a car with their bags and stuff. Like not the takies and stuff but the cars that are provided.

I can't understand why teams get penalized for selling their stuff? How does it put other teams at an unfair advantage? Sometimes desperate times calls for desperate measures.

First off, I'd try and minimize cab rides as much as possible. If they're going into an urban area, give the teams less money so they'll have to think hard before spending it on cabs instead of public transportation. If they're not in an urban area, provide them with vehicles and let them do their own navigating. Less cabs equals less luck involved.
And how about a rule that says "you may not pay for a taxi ride unless you rode inside it during the trip". It'd put an end to the "getting guided by a taxi" trick as I'm sure they wouldn't like to do it for free as much. Take away the intersection and yield rules, put the teams' destinies back in their own hands. The intersection rule in particular I find very annoying as a strong team can potentially find themselves far behind the pack if being forced to wait. Add more fast forwards, as it makes the game a little less linear and more varied. It also makes the choice of taking a fast forward or not tougher, as right now there's no reason not to go for it. You're not likely to get another chance anyway. Season 9 would have been much more interesting with a few more fast forwards thrown in. I'd say around five per season is a good number.

Can they use a compass to help them navigate? The Globetrotters used one that is in a watch.

I'm wondering how others feel about the big penalty given to the two brothers for bartering with their cab driver when they ran out of cash? I didn't know there was a rule against that. Why is that not allowed?
The two sisters begged for free rides, apparently using the presence of the videographer as leverage. That's allowable, according to the rules but WHY? In my opinion, it shows more resourcefulness and concern for the local person to barter than it does to beg.

Did you guys preferred the U-Turn or the Yield? Marked-for-Elimination, All Possessions Taken or Speedbump better?

1 The airline flights are quite often a change for people to catch up. Whats the point in having a 4 hour head start if the next flight you can get is in 5 hours- everyone gets to catch up. Or If you have a four hour head start and have to travel 2 miles to somewhere that opens 6 hours from now.
2 The producers KNOW that there is only 1 flight a day from place 1 to place 2, so having people start the leg at midnight knowing the next flight is at 7am, is silly. 3 You should not have the money to pay someone to come in a taxi with you to find a destination. Isn't the point to find these places yourself ? |

Since the Yield, intersection and U Turn have had mixed reviews, I have thought of one that would go the opposite direction. Not sure what to call it, but it would work like this. The team getting to box first would have the option of a team behind them getting a pass on the next task(roadblock or detour). By doing this, the team if they get to the Pitstop before the last team, they would receive a 30 min head start towards the next leg.
I believe this could be a benefit to the team using it and some excitement to trailing teams, and make alliances more beneficial.

Just pop into my mind that, what if those 'ELIMINATED TEAMS' will have the chance to join the race temporarily for one leg or two.. Instead that they will stay in a villa which becomes and 'open big brother house out there'.. they gonna team up with the racing teams for the Intersection and some how gonna enjoy the race for a while. Here's the consolation for them that if they arrive together with the racing they can also have the leg price or much lower than that.. Hope production will take my point.. (If the eliminated teams will wait for that intersection racing teams can draw or choose who ever they want)

There shouldn't be anymore treading behind a Taxi's Cab while s/he take you to your desination. There seemed to not be enough Taxi's for everyone to travel behind of. Also, there should be a 30 minute penalty for couples who let another couple take cuts in line in front of another couple who is already in line. Also, there should be fair share of eating creepy crawally things and sort between the couples.

Was just watching through the videos page and the Rob and Amber video shows them asking a man in the MIA airport to purchase a guide of ecuador for them. Rob says something about "We're not allowed to ask you for money, but can you buy this book for us?" Is that a new rule where teams can't beg for money anymore? Are they allowed to accept money from other teams if they lose it all?

I'm confused about a missed clue in the last leg of the race in the episode on Mar 4th.
The Barbies missed the clue box & had to go back to get it before they could be checked in at the checkpoint. But wasn't there another team who also missed the clue? I think it was Joe & Bill, but I'm not sure. They met up with Charla & Mirna, who commented that they missed the clue & they were lucky to have met up with them. When the Barbies found the clue box there were still a couple of clues left in it. The only ones to have not reached the detour was Kentucky. Even when Kentucky picked up their clue there was still one left in the box. When did the other team who missed the clue go back to get it?

I think that Charla and Mirna along with Eric and Danielle should have been pnalized 20-30 minutes for traveling in taxis and not by foot while in Malaysia.
