I think we would all have to admit that while it's not impossible that the pilot did it on his own, it was pretty unusual.

No, it's not. I don't fly a lot but I've seen planes reopen their doors more than once. It even happened in an earlier leg in the same race. Who was the lucky team then? Was that also a result of producer manipulation?

LOL, Spear... the "lucky team" earlier in the season was none other than Rob and Amber.

I don't recall that. They actually had the door closed and the bridge had been withdrawn?

It sounded to me that they were only allowed to use that one specific flight for all of them to get out of Hawaii, which if that was the case is completely jacked up IMO. I didn't say that it sounded like they told the pilot when to leave. Just as in earlier in the race, there were places where they had only a choice between one or two flights. One they were able to try to get something earlier, but I want to say one where they had to use that flight. And if Amazing Race actually did attempt to stop the last plane and it succeeded getting Uchenna and Joyce on, that is jacked up too. (as much as I am not fond of Rob and Amber.)

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon in December. None of the flights left until after 10 pm. According to the cruise line, this has long been problematic. You are off the ship by 10 am and can't leave the island for another 12 hours.

I don't recall that. They actually had the door closed and the bridge had been withdrawn? This was the incident where they "held the plane" (in Rob's words). According to Joyce: LINK
quote:"If you remember, there was a point on the race in Argentina where we were on a plane, the plane closed and then they let Rob and Amber on!” Joyce said.
Looking at the show again (episode 4), they had wheeled stairs instead of an airbridge and I didn't see any footage of closed airplane doors, so I suppose you could argue that Joyce was mistaken or lying about the plane being closed.

I surely hate not having a new spi to look forward to! Will TAR be back in the fall? Any news?

Phil was on the radio this morning in Toronto promoting his show No Opportunity Wasted and he confirmed that there would be a 12th season of TAR. He didn't say when it would air, though.

FYI, for us Canadians... Phil's show No Opportunity Wasted originally debuted a few years ago on an American network that we didn't get here (at least, I didn't). I saw an ad on CBC a few nights ago for NOW coming soon to CBC. Keep your eyes peeled.
