Congrats on an amazing job, John and Carolyn. Yo, maybe it's editing, but in the video the Black Team didn't even bother to acknowledge Grey -

Other forums made it seem Grey won because of Repo. One had to win challenges in order to rack up points. Repo only does so much. -

I like that idea JD... EuroRally, where challenges consist of mini cars zipping from city to city sampling cheese, gellato, and taking pics

sethayates, I like that, it's amazingly fun to drive rural backroads when you barely speak the language and stopping on a whim to eat/drink.
