Changing the rules - penalty for giving another team the answer

We need to band together to get TAR producers to introduce a penalty for the sort of behavior that went on last night. When Zev/Justin told the Globetrotters, they probaly didn't think that they in turn would tell another team, and so on....
If all the teams had actually had to complete the Lichtenstein task themselves, the resutls would have been much closer. Also, ALL answers should be written and not orally conveyed at any leg to prevent other teams from overhearing the answer, which was seen in this leg as well as many others.

All the answers were written down. Some teams just chose to say it out loud too.

And, no, the rules should not change. It's completely fair for teams to help each other in tasks. IT's like teams working together in roadblocks and detours.

I think teams should be allowed to tell each other answers- if there was a penalty there would be no alliances EVER, that makes it more boring.

But it does annoy me when Flight Time & Big Easy rely on other people telling them answers, cause they're too dumb to figure it out themselves!
Do you find this valuable?
