In response to "so win, rather than finish second thanks to producer interference? -- nm" by Reagen

the whole "race" aspect seems so contrived on every leg anyway.

i tried watching once, and there was way too much suspension of disbelief needed to stick with it.

Responses:

there's deliberate bunching points so that one team doesn't get two days ahead or something - Reagen Jun 20, 10:10 4
- I don't watch AR...wanna nutshell for me how the fix was in on Rob and Amber? -- nm - Jim Jun 20, 10:23 3
  - It was really only the last episode. - Reagen Jun 20, 10:35 2
    - Ahhhh...yeah, I could see their motivation for doing that. but at the same time, sounds like Rob and Amber really won. - Jim Jun 20, 10:39

it's my biggest issue with the show. It feels like the fix is in as often as not. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 20, 10:08 6
- this, and then, how is this a race? - TFox Jun 20, 10:10 5

  - and sometimes that's important. Gets you on an earlier flight before it sells out, for instance. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 10:11 3
    - I don't see the big deal. Everything's planned out well in advance and every season has had the same bunching effects. - Strongbad Jun 20, 10:13
    - if there were more watermelons to the face, i could stick with it longer. -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 10:12 1
      - i watched for three seasons until the feeling of overwhelming sameness crept in...nm - x Jun 20, 10:15
