Oh, I had quite forgotten the detour shifting, most notably made famous by the Bald Brothers of Season 3.
11. An team's incredible lead is eliminated by airport/task/opening time/closing time "bunching."
12. A team's incredible incompetence resulting in them falling behind is alleviated by airport/task/opening time/ closing time "bunching."
That's the one thing I really didn't really appreciate on the show. Get a 3 hour lead on everybody and then at the end of the day, everybody is simply starting over again.
But I guess they do this so somebody who is extremely lucky (or good) can get a huge time lead that can never be caught.
Okay, time to get rid of the mom and gay son, tonight. She may have a nervous breakdown but that's just good TV LOL!
