LEG 3 (6/12) - Which team will use the FAST FORWARD? (CLOSED)

[Mark Holtz]

Okay, the usual weekly poll... which team will use the FAST FORWARD this week?

I'm not surprised that Steve and Dave, the ATC guys, would take a fast forward for health reasons.

There will be one point for just voting, and one point for voting correctly.

On the next episode of The Amazing Race: (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race4/)
I Wasn't Even Going to Touch You Until You Slammed My Head Backwards!
Description from Dish: Teams form new alliances; a team stops to help another in distress; a footrace gets physical; teams face their fears during a bungee jump.
Description from TV Guide: A frightening asthma attack brings one team to a sudden halt. Also: the teams must bungee jump from 460 feet

* A frightening asthma attack brings Millie & Chuck to a crashing halt. But they find solace when another Team opts to help them rather than continue on.
* One Team's promise to another Team turns up empty, and accusations fly, bringing an alliance crashing to the ground.
* Blood is drawn when a desperate footrace for a coveted prize gets physical.
* A 460-foot bungee jump finds Teams facing some of their greatest fears. But one wild teammate will attempt the dive in a way nobody expects!

I think that the FF last week really helped Steve and Dave more than others will. It certainly appeared that they reached the pit stop long before 5 when the party started for the roadblock challenge. It was about dusk at 5 when the first teams went in for the roadblock, and long after dark when the first ones came out. I figure Steve and Dave have at least a 4 hour head start now on the 3rd leg.

But, of course, if the next leg is anything like this one, everyone will have at least 1 chance to catch up - leg 2 gave everyone 2 chances to catch up.

Steve and Dave did get a good advantage using the FF but now they are leaving at 3 or 4am so they will probably get bunched back up again.

Looks like next week we have some fistcuffs break out over the FF.

3-4 PM arrival equals 3-4 AM departure. If the next route marker involves transportation, then they have extra time to recover without the added pressure.

Also, from another board, I heard that the other teams arrived within a 8 minute window.

The polls are now closed. Good luck everyone!

And "Steve & Josh" take the Fast Forward.
