Still, the tattoo will be a reminder of the game for years to come, and they got a pretty sweet prize for coming in first. Seems like a good deal to me!

I'd be quite pleased with the tattoo FF, and would have taken 2 seconds to decide, mainly because well you are on this race, and it's an amazing journey, and I'm sure the story of where you got the tattoo would be great!
Man Kynt and Vyxsin Fell apart a little, and I felt bad for TK up there for 1.5 hours ..

I was so glad it's a non-elimination legs. I didn't want to see my favorite team leaving. I don't see what is the big deal with getting the tatoo for the FF. You can always have it remove later with laser.

TK's passive-aggresive whining when Rachel forgot the directions made me long for Nathan's evolved chivalry.
It looks like Vyxsin has the tits and the balls in her relationship with Kent; I like the idea of a surprise challenge better than turning them into street beggars.

A "speed bump" sounds more interesting than the 30 minute penalty they used last season. At least we don't have to watch the clock counting down at the end.

I had to miss this leg due to The Skins beating down on the Vikings. I've picked up that this was the Non-eleminations, but who came in last? was it TK and Rachel? just wondering.

IIRC, the u-turn would be the replacement for the Yield.
Both are good choices because they involve watching a team doing something instead of viewers watching them stand around and bitch for 30 minutes.

Ah ok,my memory isnt the best so i wasnt sure.Definitely good to make the teams do something rather than just having them bitch for 30 minutes since we get enough of that as it is

I agree that the U-Turn is better because they have to actually do something, but I remember the yield a couple of years ago where the team was so busy bitching that they bitched for an extra 45 minutes AFTER their time ran out. Morons like that I didn't mind.
