I know in Canada lottery winnings are not taxable, not sure about winnings from other types of contests.

[Feathers]

Just looked it up for the UK. Lottery winnings are free of tax and any type of competition winnings are free unless the competing is considered to be your profession.

[QuadShot]

...well, we ARE talking about BRYAN! I believe he takes competition quite professionally! :)

[Bryancd]

Yep, lottery or gambling or game show winning are taxed as income.

Coolness!! Ok, so, because our first season of FastForward seemed to be kind of successful, Joyce and I decided to keep the fun rolling and cover another season of The Amazing Race! So, to get ready for this we decided to "improve" the FastForward podcast by launching an "official" website and a brand new iTunes feed. Why? Well, various reasons but now the podcast has an improved website AND an improved name. We are now Amazing Race FastForward podcast and you can easily search for us in iTunes now. And, you'll be able to listen to ALL of the episodes for our podcast directly on http://www.fastforwardtar.com So how about subscribing to the new feed in iTunes and checking out the new website? Let me know what you think??

"Without preperation, the key is....wait what?" I loved that task!

[QuadShot]

Bryan, I know!! They made it look so..."easy" :) And how about Andy (snowboarder)? His first attempt was complete gibberish. Sounded like Meds after a night of Pub Pounding!! :) :)

[Bryancd]

Jamie and I were trying to do it along with them and were laughing our butts off! She got it right before me. :(

[QuadShot]

It was difficult, for sure!

[Bryancd]

Hey Al, enjoying this new season of FastForward! I laughed when Joyce was taling about the bike riding challenge and mentioned how she like how the Indonesian's respected their cultural traditions and admonished the hippies for goofing of during that challenge. I think it's safe to say that "tradition" was one put upon the native Indonesian culture by their Dutch occupiers! LO! Something tells me that's not exactly a native tradition. We were shocked and I was suprised you guys didn't dwell on the fact that Amani and Marcus were given the answer to the challenge and couldn't remember it 15min later! I didn't think it was cheating and I loike those two but really, how do you not remember that. Pathetic.

[QuadShot]

Hey Bryan,
Yeah, Joyce was being silly! As for Amani/Marcus, well, I actually did want to rag more, but thought I shoudl "tone" it down a little since I've been going off so hard on some of the teams (showgirls) :) I like Amani and Marcus too, but they made 2 boneheaded moves in the last episode: deciding to abandon the grass fed task and doing the planting task when all they had to do was fill the bags a little more, then Marcus Forrest Gumping the answer that Tommy HANDED to him! :)
