Wonder what the insurance issues are when it comes to the teams driving themselves.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Regardless, I think they should have more self driving or public transport and fewer taxis, so that the race is more about competence than luck.
Sigh. I long for the days when they actually had to make decisions and figure things out. Which season was it when they had to get to Lands End in Portugal and some people took a bus, others took a train, and money actually came into play? Or the first season, when meeting a local on the train to the South of France meant that some teams were able to take a shortcut.

Yeah, that flexibility was one of the things I liked about TAR. It was so open. Gambles paid off. I miss the days of haranging the airline employees at random offices to get tickets

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I agree with that assessment. I can see how the producers would want to control the risk, but I think it was so much more interesting when those were decisions available to be made and mistakes mattered.

Dana reported in Natter that the first season of ANTM is being rerun on Oxygen on Sunday, for those who want some Adrienne/Elyse goodness. Some "paaaaasion", some Shannon, some holier than thou bible thumping, etc etc. See how it all began!

Me too, except it wasn't meara's fault.
I liked it way more than I thought I would, although Tyra is really not a good host. And the bow tie thing is whack. I liked many of the challenges though. I wish we could see more of the photos.

Tyra is an awful host. It is liek she is successful in spite of herself.

Well, I'm comparing her to Cat Deeley. And Phil. So she really didn't have a chance.

and for a show that I really do not like watching DWtS host, Tom Bergeron is very very good as a live host.
