No, you're not the only one.

What makes it even more asinine is that they ALWAYS follow the non-elimination legs with a bunching at the airport/bus terminal/waiting for "whatever attraction they're going to next" to open in the morning etc.etc.etc.

I would rather see a time penalty assessed then taking everything away from them. Something like, "you will get to keep what you already have, but you will not receive any money at the start of the next leg, and you will be assessed a 4 hour penalty."

Of course, if they still have a bunching, then that won't make any difference.

For a number of reasons, TAR is the finest reality based show on television. I don't like the non-elimination rounds, but I can see why the producers saw fit to make them a part of the show. I would guess the chief reason being that if a favorite team is in danger of be eliminated, non-elimination would save them, and keep up interest in the race with the fans.

I like your idea of a four hour time penalty. An additional penalty might be that the last place team in a nel would have to listen to Hanoi John speeches all that night instead of getting some sleep.

I hate the begging for money part, but don't mind if they took all of their belongings. They could add a time penalty at the end of the leg of the race either by picking 3 different envelopes ranging from 15 minutes to 30 minutes or even an hour or selecting an hourglass and waiting for the sand to empty.

Looks like the rumors of a certain team spending a lot of money did not mean anything. MOJO was buying a lot of things in their hometown.
