The Amazing Race 4/17

I really hate Ford for selling that new Ranger everywhere but the US.

You would think that after all these seasons that the producers of TAR would have a really good sense of what sort of tasks work well and which ones don’t. It puzzles me that this season has been so tepid with uninteresting or unchallenging tasks.

Heck, the readers on this board (the ones we have left) could come up with a great list of tasks to be distributed across the legs. Just off the top of my head:

  • memory challenge
  • climbing challenge
  • assembly/construction challenge
  • physical balance challenge
  • needle in a haystack challenge
  • eating challenge
  • buried treasure challenge
  • water challenge
  • fear of heights challenge
  • navigation challenge
  • animal control challenge

Hmmm. Actually, I guess they HAVE been using these types of tasks. Maybe it is because this season’s versions are too easy?

They missed a great opportunity for the sneak up on an elephant and poke it challenge. Probably a good thing to skip.
