Both Mom and Dad Gaghan are marathon runners so they probably have more endurance than any of the other teams.
The task said all the family had to carry the wounded. I think as long as all 4 people were there, it counted. There were two shots of the Gaghans carrying the wounded. Mom and son were on the front and dad was on the rear with the daughter holding onto the side of the stretcher handle.
Technically, the daughter was there but the dad was doing most of the grunt work. I don't think there is a fix in.
I was hoping the Rogers or the Paolos would get eliminated...too bad they couldn't both have been taken out. If I was in the Paolos car i would tell everybody to let mom and/or the youngest son do the driving and the navigation and just sit back and watch the train wreck. Those two are so annoying with their back and forth "I told you so, you never listen to me" bickering. ugh!
Also, why does it seem like half the teams navigate like they have never touched a map in their life?
You would think they would brush up on map reading skills before the race! LOL It's pathetic!
In this question lies one of life's mysteries. If my family were in this race, my wife and son would have to do all the driving because neither one of them, and they are both very bright, can read a map. I would have to do all of it. I too can't understand what the problem is, but some just don't get it!
