Lets not forget, if it weren't for that flat tire, Romber would be the ones running around begging for money.
I suspect that when the airlines knew that "The Amazing Race" was filming, they try and come across as super accomodating. Wasn't a fix for U/J particularly, but moreso a PR move in general.
I think it was a bad move to have the ending 2 legs in north America, where TAR is well known. (although the finale is always in the US). Undoubtely spoilers came from one of the 220+ passengers on that 747 who recall seeing Romber and a black couple boarding the plan. Should have sent them to Miami via Paraguay or something.
