That task is hardly epic. What bothered me the most was that the scenary was supposed to be spectacular but with that weather not even the teams were able to see anything.

Abbie & Ryan had had flight problems (again), they got U-Turned by their friends, and realized that there was no hope of them coming back. The rain really put an exclamation point on how Abbie & Ryan must have been feeling. :(

Yea, everything was dark and gloomy and it adds on to the sad feeling. Imagine if it was bright and sunny, the whole sad story wouldn't be able to be lifted.
+ there was a contrast... when Nadiya and Natalie and Jaymes and James and Trey and Lexi did their tasks, it was bright and sunny and turning to rainy weather.

Apart from just giving a gloomy-ending feeling, the rain really ruined the detour for them. They were supposed to beg for money and the streets were absolutely empty. For me, seeing Abbie all by herself ALONE in the street was the most depressing part

D'Aww I thought I was the only one who felt the same about the scenarios above^
It was really sad when Abbie was hugging the sweet lady in the rain.
It was a really good touch when they showed Abbie & Ryan coming from afar into the Pit Stop with the gloominess surrounding them. Really made it more sad.
Anyway... I LOVED the snow in Switzerland of TAR 22 even though I kinda hated that leg. I still remember when it was storming when the Paolos were doing that little party bike challenge around the stadium :lol:
Air:
The fog after the Auschwitz visit was suited to the mood.

The thunder and lightning when the Paolos were leaving Talledega.
