According to tpirsummaries.8m.com, this is the first time all 3 prizes in Rat Race were won since January 19, 2011. Anyways, me and Prizes attempted to look for the ARP of all 3 prizes. The trip is completely unknown – a regular trip there costs $9,345 per 5/9/2016’s Range Game – but this trip had 4 guests and a first-class flight. After looking through bhphotovideo.com, we can determine the camera and accessories to cost $1,258.40 in total, and according to Edmunds.com, the BMW costs $34,145.

I'm torn about It's in the Bag's color changes. Yes, the pastels were outdated-looking, but that is quite a contrast of colors. I thought the first four bags were rather easy, but the last bag could have reasonably gone either way.I thought the new colors made the set look a little bland personally.

Also, in IUFB #5 they edited out all 4 over bids.A 70" TV at $1200 was a mistake in the first place.

Really? Speed Stick is cheap, even before factoring in that that wasn't a full-size stick. If anything, it would have been in the $1.99 bag, but even that seems high for what is essentially half a stick of deodorant.
Heck, there was a greater chance of the deodorant being in the 79-cent bag than the $4.49 bag. There was no chance anything but the sauce was in the last bag.
Am I the only one thinking (Where's Golden Road...Bonkers....Race Game...Clock Game ???)You weren't, but besides Golden Road, it'd be best not to play the other games. All three can run around or suggest things on stage and while the Amazing Race teams could at least try to suggest help to the contestant they were playing with, those timed games would render them ultimately useless as they stood by and watched the contestant play.
