Amazing Race: Leg 10!

// May 1st, 2010 // fun

Holy crap, we’re almost down to the finish. Actually, I thought it was only a week away until that tricky Phil decided to change things up with a THIRD non-elimination leg.

This recap, of course, comes so long after I watched the episode that I really don’t remember much other than the Cowboys are dominating and are likely going to win this thing. They are just so relaxed and so much better at this than the other teams.

The Contest

I’ve gotten a few questions this year about the NEGATIVE points for Yielding/U-Turning someone. The line of thinking was two things: 1) I was looking for ways to score some points for teams and make things interesting and 2) I’ve always kind of thought the U-Turn was something other teams always frowned upon or wouldn’t end up using. So it seemed like if you DID, it might be a negative thing. Hence -10 points.

We may switch things up next time around!
