The Roadblock choices have been strange to me this year - for instance, it would have been a lot easier for a female to do the diving thing than some of the harder things later in the race...and the same with the gnome - required little or no physical strength. Did Lake do that one too?

You know, Roxip -- doesn't Phil usually come out with his statement at the beginning of every Roadblock (No team member may perform more than so many roadblocks on the race...)? I don't know if I've heard him say that this year...

I truly hope that they haven't eliminated that option...I think that it is fairer to have each member have to do a certain number of roadblocks. I know they stopped it for family edition but there isn't any reason not to do so on the regular race. It's not any fun to see only one person do all the roadblocks (I imagine Zach's back is still sore from toting Flo all around the world!).

I believe one of the clips on the web site has Yolanda mentioning the Roadblock rule. Maybe Phil will mention it in the later stages of the race.

Lake and Michelle have not been one of my favorite teams this season, but after Michelle dropped the tearoff strip from the clue (after Lake found the gnome), they are definitely and officially on my "I hope you are eliminated, and soon!" list. Sorry, but I cannot abide by people who litter, and Americans who litter in a foreign country really irk me.

I thought they'd all been getting better about dropping those strips! Maybe they tried not to show it so much in the past few seasons. I really fault the production people for not designing a folder that opens and seals with velcro, for heaven's sake! I cringe each time they rip open the zip strips..

I have noticed that for the most part they hang onto the little tear strip, so perhaps they have been warned not to litter.

There is a cameraman and possibly others with them. I would bet someone is picking up those strips. It is filmed so well, I sometimes forget others are with them.

Mara... I am now watching Season One on DVD and its killing me to watch them tear off and litter with the the strips. Obviously, this is a situation that was rectified in later seasons as they no longer do that. Love the velcro idea!!!
