No, it wasn't. Anyone who claims that it should have been obvious that that was going to be the question doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

Is the specially flagged ticket counter new this year? I don't seem to recall ever seeing one in previous TARs.

The first and only thing I thought to myself when I saw the steps and heard there was going to be a question once you get to the top was "I hope they count the steps as they go up." If it didn't seem obvious to you, I guess that makes this person who doesn't know WTF he's talking about all the smarter.

I think the flagged ticket counter is new this season (don't recall seeing them in previous seasons).

So if I just thought that would be the question just by guessing when they showed the steps and then told us there would be a question at the end, do I know WTF I'm talking about?

It's occasionally used, typically at the beginning of races or in situations where getting out of the country might be problematic otherwise.

The funniest thing about Terrence was how stressed out he was when he was clearly in good position, with so little on the line. I can't imagine what he'll be like when the stakes are raised a bit.

exactly. this will be one of 'those couples' that decide to end things after this show. Why on earth would you want to do this after just starting to date someone??

I'm not saying that you're not brilliant for thinking of it and I have no problem admitting you're smarter than me. I'm just saying that you were wrong in saying it was OBVIOUS -- it wasn't.
