AMAZING RACE DRIBS AND DRABS: Via TVTattle, let's wrap up Amazing Race 7:

  • The NY Post reports (reg req'd, grr) that Uchenna and Joyce did, indeed, have to pay the cabbie: "As it turns out, the couple risked being disqualified -- and losing the $1-million grand prize -- if they'd made a mad dash for the finish line without settling up with the cabbie. The game's rules say that contestants cannot do anything illegal -- and stealing a cab ride is, to say the least, breaking the law. Although the Agus were running low on cash before they even got into the taxi, the game's rules also forbid them from begging for cash in any U.S. airport. "
  • Meet Dr. Allan Gross, a cosmetic dentist who gave them money in front of Bonnet House. My, that's a snazzy website. ("Dr. G, the man who can put a smile on anyone's face.")
  • Lynn and Alex are getting married in Canada.
  • Philip Michaels thinks he can fix the Race. My favorite idea? If you win two legs, you can't be eliminated the next time you come in last. (And, then, you can eliminate the non-elimination legs.) Also, as we've argued here before, make sure that multiple teams can attempt a Fast Forward simultaneously; otherwise, it's first-come, automatically-wins.

And, with that, we move on.
