TAR14 Finale: 'This is How You Lose a Million Dollars'
gingerman28:
I'm back just in time for tonight's finale. From the previews I have seen including the long one detailing Luke's surfboard oddessy, and the tease from the end of last week, it looks like although Luke is ahead, all of the teams are together for the final roadblock. So perhaps Luke screws up and the others catchup and even pass him. Will know all tonight.
Seems that CBS is really giving a lot away of what happens in the finale.
Have fun everyone.

Shades of Eric & Jeremy TAR 9........

Yeah, I think the other teams aren't as far behind as the video may imply. First Cara & Jaime and then Tammy & Victor catch up at the Roadblock and then they pass both Margie & Luke because Luke gets stuck after the first six boards -- or at least one of them does so, most likely Cara & Jaime.

Welcome Home G-Man......
And happy TAR day to all.
If Margie & Luke do lose (remember CBS has spoiled the race before in their promos). Remember season 10, you so didn't need the shadows on Bama's Boobs (Chateaux) to tell you who wont he race and what order they arrived in.
And if If Margie & Luke do lose (it will be like Ron & Christina), I really wouldn't use Eric & Jeremy for a true comparison.
It appears that this leg (like the last two season, thank you so much CBS in this you have truly corrected the single biggest race flaw, now get to the rest). Eric & Jeremy had built up a over a 30 minute lead) and had that lead disappear (thanks to mid leg flights, specifically designed to bunch al three team). If the race didn't have mid leg bunching they would have easily won (by a significant amount of time).
In Ron & Christina's case all the teams started in a tie (which is standard for the race legs) and they lead the whole race, but based solely off of their performance at the roadblock they lost. It wasn't due to the producers bunching teams mid leg for their lead to disappear. It was completely in their control.
I am curious how often that mid leg bunching (when most tasks are complete) has cost teams the win.
