WOW ! What a dishonest manipulation!! Thinking back, it also happened in other races that those elimination stages were strangely placed to save Phil’s favorites or eliminate a team not so favored. The” once in the history of AR” inclusion of a struggling team, making 4 for the final race stage, was a real eye opener. Other teams were stronger throughout and the “sweet” team had one lucky day. The other teams won more stages, were overall stronger and more capable but the manipulation was meant to give the less deserving another shot. They really needed help because under the usual rules, they would have been gone. Hey, Phil, would you have considered doing this new thing for any of the other more deserving teams? Have you extended a huge benefit to any other team on any other race? And why watch the next series only to have another manipulation to favor one “sweet” team that you like over more deserving pairs ??? Well, there are other shows to try at this time slot. I do not like it when the rules change to suit the host at the last second. You did not even hint to the other teams that this might happen. You may feel good about season #25 but it was less than an honest race after you got finished manipulating the outcome. What a shame and a sad but enlightening look into the producers’ ethos.
