It's been pert near nine months or so since The Amazing Race left the
air. It must've been a chore for the TAR crew to wipe off the dust
from the clue boxes, destination mat, & Phil's collection of hair
musse. But I'm sure that they're glad to get one more paycheck and
free trip around the world.
Here's my general guidelines for predictin', subject to change at a
moment's notice;
#1. "Young Male Gym Rat" teams (formerly known as "Alpha Male" until
the politically correct squad banned that term as "offensive".)
generally do better percentage-wise of finishing in the top 3 than
male/female or female/female teams. These teams (YMGR for short) are
defined as all-male, in great physical shape, and generally below 30
although there are exceptions (two from TAR4, "Dude 'n Bro" & Reichen
'n Chip" who had contestants above 30, but were in great shape).
Yes, we all remember the "Cho boys" & "Greg 'n Brian" as those "YMGR"
teams who failed miserably. Their stupidity only highlights the
success of other "YMGR" like Tyler 'n James of TAR10 who were also
dumber than a box of rocks, made one mistake after another, and
cruised to victory.

There's a weather man in Los Angleles named Dallas Rains. Yes sure
it's not a made up name either.

YMGR shorts? I hope they wash them periodically so they don't end up
extremely ripe like my high school gym shorts. ;^P
Take care,
Rich
God bless the USA

Hardly arbitrary, the history of TAR speaks for itself.

Look on the bright side, by the time those teams reach the top 3,
their shorts could deflect bullits.
