Electronics would make most of what they do on the race completely moot.  They could use GPS, look up hints in clues or call places ahead of time (like travel agents).  However, they are allowed to use other people's electronics and phones which many teams do at hotels and in cabs.  I think it was last episode that…

I dunno.  The show sounds like a one way monkey to me…

I feel like Sliders is ready for a reboot.  Find a good cast and good writers.  Emphasis on good writers.

Nah, he just took over.  He was even more goofy.  Think Joey Lawrence with a brain injury.  I never took Jerry seriously as a leading man, but he was good as a generically handsome geeky guy.  The show was badass.

Doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure!  Even though the writing let us down later on, the concepts the series provided were pretty cool.  I got a whole table of dinner guests going with a mere mention of that one episode where they went to a world where art was banned.  I mean, that's not exactly earth shattering, but…

I'm betting on Melissa, Sonje and Christopher (as I said above).  As for Elena, I don't see her being kept around for personality.  She hasn't done anything especially tragic, or any more terrible than someone else, in any challenge.  While she's had some misses, she's shown a lot more design than others (ie. judge…

For some reason I was talking to someone the other day about Heidi and her pregnancies.  I remembered that when she was with child the show always made it clear that she was not drinking alcohol along with the other judges and contestants at meet and greets.  Then last night I noticed that Ven's sister very…
