Was getting rid of NELs a good idea? |

It doesn't make the race more exciting, in fact it deludes it when there is no chance the last place team might survive. How many great teams have been
saved by nels? Several, just off the top of my head. Not to mention that it cuts back on further great locations. oh well, they have to save money on gas
somehow, but it was the worst decision the producers have made since the reduction of the Fast Forward to only two legs.

They had an NEL at 6 that saved Ken/Tina, and then Kelly/Christy got eliminated in this leg.

I think he means getting rid of two legs. Not only does it lessen the season by two episodes, it limits the locations. But yeah, I still prefer the longer race
courses compared to TAR12/13's.

NEL's suck and need to go alltogether. They can have 'to be continued' episodes and also add a couple more teams at the beginning. I think if you
have been saved by the NEL then you don't deserve to win.

I've always thought that if they HAVE to have NELs that they should be earlier in the season. That way we could get to know the teams a little better.

Uh, if anything, TBC legs are worse than NELs because they're essentially NELs with no penalty to overcome. At least if you finish last in an NEL, you
have to work even harder to overcome the additional challenge you have to face.

i think TBC legs are better than NEL's only because it's tougher with less rest time for teams and makes things more exciting. It also makes more sense
than a NEL with a pretty unfair punishment.
reducing the race by 2 legs makes it a more streamlined cut-throat race but unless they spend a good majority if not all 11 legs in different countries (like last season), it makes for a pretty limited season in terms of locations (like we're having right now). |

We can wish all we want but they won't get rid of NEL and they wont put them too early in the Race for simple logistics. They want to reduce the number of
teams as much as they can early on to cut down on costs and logistics. Less flights to book, less people to do tasks etc.

Exactly who I was thinking of. I've noticed that TAR3 is the only season of the race that I watch over and over and love it even more each time. Flo <3

We all complain about the luck thrown in, well the NEL makes it less about luck. The only thing I don't like are the peneltys. Why should there be peneltys? If someone brings up, 'that they came in last', does that really matter? If you are truly concerned about who the best racing team, than why don't you also complain about the leg, which is paramount. You could say that they should average all the teams rankings, and decide the winners that way. That's not what I would want, but it would be the more logical thing using that premise. |

Best finale ever, seriously. I mean, she was so ridiculous and over the top, you can't help but like her.

Best winners ever, but I was still disapointed because I liked Ken and Gerard. |
