I must agree. Speedbumps get lamer and lamer every season...
Season 12 had teams doing Yoga and running through fireworks (and it's already uneven) Season 13 had teams serving water (so subjective) and dancing some Russian dance (subjective as well) Season 14 had teams painting an elephant (reasonable) and washing hair... IN CHINA (WTF. SRSLY) Now... Season 15 had teams, get pho from a stall and bring it to the guard, make it in front of him. (CRAZY AS HELL) |

Yeah at this rate, the speedbump for Easy & Flight will be a game of horse with the Mongolian olympic basketball team.

They didn't show much of the speed bump, but it mostly looked like dumping their bowls of beef and bean sprouts into the broth. Not much opportunity to
mess it up.
Whatever. I'd be perfectly fine if they went back to having no penalty whatsoever for the non-elim legs, like the early seasons. |

They're being groomed already for a top 5 finish, that's why. And they're hateful and stupid, besides.

If you were producing the show, would you really want to throw in a challenging task that would make it virtually impossible for that team to catch up and lead
to a predictable boot? Or an easy one that would give them a shot at a comeback and provide a bunch of tension to the episode?

If I'm not mistaken, Kynt & Vyxsin took the yoga speedbump for almost an hour (or maybe they were exaggerating, but still) yet it led to one of the
most exciting episodes/showdowns ever. I really hope they put a U-TURN before a speed bump in one episode. That would be epic.

That was so lame. The same with the two hour penalty they got on the last leg which came up to be nothing that affected them.

A Dying Clown wrote: Precisely. Speed Bumps are meant to be brief, not-too-insurmountable delays that cost a team position, but hopefully not put them too far back to catch up. The only teams to fail at overcoming their Speed Bumps didn't even fail because of that extra task, but because of other factors. TAR12: Kynt & Vyxsin failed due to a botched U-Turn choice and forgetting an important thing at the Roadblock, both courtesy of Kynt. TAR14: Christie & Jodi failed due to an incompetent driver taking them around the airport, then stopping for gas for way too long. Mark & Michael failed due to their time gap brought about from their time penalty after breaking far too many rules. So I'm not pissed off at short, easy Speed Bumps. Because that's what they're supposed to be -- short and easy, and only cost a small bit of time. |

I'm glad some of the people in here have common sense and know that the Speed Bump isn't supposed to be a race-ending obstacle. Bitches who think they
need to be harder are seriously freaktarded.

Speedbumps suck, but they're still better than watching the racers going around and begging for money from a bunch of poor native people.
