TAR Fantasy Game 3 (TAR 2, Round 2) - PLEASE VOTE!
« on: Oct 29^th, 2006, 1:24pm »

This will be the third installment of the TAR Fantasy Game. However, unlike in the previous games when I make the route and you vote for the teams, in this game, you will vote for the route and I will explain the teams later. So, the entire route will be made up of real legs from the Amazing Race (only seasons 1-9). You will vote on which leg (route, tasks, etc.) is the best and we will eliminate legs until there are just enough for a race. Season 1 will be up first.

In the first Fast Forward of the race, teams had to hike down a steep slope to Boiling Pot. Rob and Brennan were first to arrive, so they received it.
