Topic: RFF TAR 19 Pick'em Game

[Polaroid]

ANd here is the breakdown of how you guys saw the bonus question.

10 points - 1 people answered this question - 13 Nick & Star versus the Kelly & Christy

I feel like I should defend myself. That sports bra drama was absolutely ridiculous.

And at week 11 results.

Someone's going to overtake me because of the bonus round so I'll just take this moment to enjoy my temporary first.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Game is up and running.

[ovalorange]

Extra 10 Bonus. In the Game thread state your favorite and least liked Tasks of this season.

Favourite: Coral Reconstruction and Beach Preparation - my favourite detour of the season, nice scenery and it was good to see the teams giving back to the community especially after the tsunamis Thailand has had. Confucius Roadblock in Taipei and the Borobudur Roadblock in Yogyakarta was pretty good too, challenged teams memory right off the bat. And Liz & Marie's speedbump - that was pretty awesome, who doesn't want to play with elephants!

Least liked: Butter churning in Denmark. I mean seriously? The first visit to Denmark and the best they have is butter churning? I also think most of leg 5's tasks were lame, but considering it was made last minute it was a decent effort by TPTB.

[kiki]

Extra 10 Bonus. In the Game thread state your favorite and least liked Tasks of this season.

Favoutite task: Bunny hoping. It was original and the bunnies were cute!!!

Least liked task: Feeding the fish in the Bangkok canal, completely pointless. They should at least give an explanation for that, for example that feeding them brings good luck or something like that.

[Polaroid]

Extra 10 Bonus. In the Game thread state your favorite and least liked Tasks of this season.

Favourite: All Hopped Up! I loved the bunnies. Sooooooooo cute. Either that or the bodybuilding posing task.

Least liked: The Starting Line task. They could've come up with a much better Starting Line task that doesn't involve teams just randomly guessing something and coming back a few seconds later guessing something else.

[Jobby]

My favourite task would be the Indonesia (Leg 3) Roadblock where one racer had to walk around the top tier of Borobudur in a clockwise direction, counting the statues of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, while also paying attention to the mudra depicted in the statues (only four of the six kinds of statues were involved in the task). The racer would have to give the correct numbers of Buddhas by mudra, including a demonstration of each (17 Amitābhas with the dhyana mudra, 17 Amoghasiddhis with the abhaya mudra, 17 Akshobhyas with the bhumisparsa mudra, and 18 Ratnasambhavas with the vara mudra), in order to receive their next clue.

That alone, sounds complicated and extremely hard. It was an extremely confusing task and with the major bunching of the teams there with any team possibly getting it any moment, was a nail-biter to watch.

My least like task would be the Roadblock where one team member had to go into the water, search for a Koi and break it for the next clue. That was really stupid, but you cannot blame the producers as it was a makeshift leg. Other bad tasks were Marcus and Amani's slide puzzle Speedbump, Bill and Cathi's untying knot Speedbump. I don't know if I'm the only one but the Waffle Stand Detour was completely pointless and random as well.

This is a very weird question.

[calphin]

Extra 10 Bonus. In the Game thread state your favorite and least liked Tasks of this season.

Most Liked :
I love the muscle show in Brussels. 
I love the reactions of the teams when reading the clue and when they're doing it! 
Also, the task is really unexpected and kinda representing/honoring Van Damme who came from Brussels.

Least Liked :
Hazard Bungee-jumping task performed by Kaylani & Lisa. Why? Because we see enough than just a bungee-jumping in TAR.
I know it's not that easy when you are actually doing it, but personally it's a boring task for me.

[serendipity]

Favourite task: The rabbit detour in Denmark, it's so interesting and related to their culture, though it's not that difficult compared with the butter one.

Least liked task: Canoeing in Malawi, actually it is kind of a generic task and I don't understand why it would be a detour option.

This is a very weird question.

no penalty for incorrect answers.

And yes it's just for the last episode of each season.

[Prama]

Favourite task: All tasks in Leg 3 (Indonesia). Cause I love the way TAR explores Indonesia. They showed Indonesia's historical background through bicycle task, and also both detour options show Indonesia's demographic and culture, and last, the puzzling roadblockin Borobudur just amazingly hard. Oh, and also Bunnies! I love them!

Least favourite task: All tasks in Leg 5 (Thailand). They went to Bangkok only too feed fishes? And first roadblock where teams must go into water and find artificial fish. It's bloody ridiculous

[Aussie]

Favourite Task: Hmm, I liked the bunnies in Denmark, and I also liked the Confucius task in Taiwan.

Least Favourite Task: The one in Yogykarta with the buddhas, only because it screwed up my favourite team. 

[mswood]

Favorite was counting Budhas.  Least is of course the point less fishes, wasn't to pleased with bunnies, Legos, either

[mswood]

OMG, what a horrible episode of TAR (and just like season 16, and 17 not because of who won).  This might have been the most one sided race, ever (depending on how far behind Jeremy & Sandy were behind).

I was laughing, laughing at the Flight Simulator with poor Marcus and Amani, and then with Jeremy & Sandy in the store, looking for the clue.

Just painful to watch.

What is funny is that the producers moved all tasks to one city (in part to encourage a full race between teams (no one left behind in another country) and yet several finals have been blowouts.

Oh well.  I was also very disappointed by the final task as I thought it would be much more difficult.  And so much for the lack of clue boxes playing a part of the race (though I still love it, as it makes it tougher for racers).

So I am going back to an earlier episode to grade the question on Route Markers (if they are part of the final, they aren't).

[mswood]

After watching it again can I just say how much I love Amani when in the cab after the flight simulator really consuling up Marcus (who had a awful day).  How much I love Ernie (He is such a dork, its awesome, I love him after he finished the typing, again what a dork).  How much I liked Jeremy & Sandy (this was my pick for team I wouldn't like at all, so very surprised how little drama they had, or they showed).

And some of the tasks (well the clues especially) on this leg were quite good.  Boring episode to watch, but not because of planning, though again the final map task was weak, compare that to putting a map of North America together in the Family Edition was much better (seriously we should never say that about the Family Edition) as was the african map general task in the village of season 17.

But the season for me was overall one of the (if not the) most likable cast the show has ever had.  I know some don't like those, but I love those.  Also a plus that the U-Turn was the sole reason any team got eliminated, so that is also a big plus (now if they would just get rid of it).

Oh well those are my brief thoughts on the season.
