WHERE HAVE YOU GONE, FERN? I wanted to open up a separate thread to focus on the overall problems with TAR6, which to me were independent from who ended up winning.
One, we've discussed every week: too much bunching, especially late in legs, though the final episode did finally provide consequences for finishing late in the prior leg.
The other, I think, was the Racers: not that they were unlikeable. They just weren't that good. No team really seemed to try to find shortcuts consistently -- whether with planes or on the ground -- and stake out consistent leads and break themselves out of bunches. Remember Colin reserving the town car for Dallas? Charla and Mirna always finding faster flights when they had to change planes? Cha Cha Cha using hotel concierges and local guides? Or Millie and Chuck, always over-thinking each task? None of that here.
So bring on Rob and Ambuh! (And then, um, The Amazing Family Race?)
