Zack.:
That finale was nagl though :(
Finale discussions yay!
- Good final legs: 12, 14, and 25 for sure (though 25 could've used a better initial RB). I'll be alone in saying 13 as well (so many nonstandard clues and Field of 100 Clueboxes will probably be my favorite visual from this show).
- I'm torn on 21 because it certainly was dramatic and the Houdini and pizza tasks were both good buuuut Hello/Goodbye, despite it being amazing in theory devolved into a four hour guessing game - at what point do I go from "Hello/Goodbye was great, they should've been paying attention" to "Hello/Goodbye was too difficult and made the first part of the leg meaningless."
- Good season / crappy final: 17, 18, 22
- Pretty good final despite not having a mental task of some sort: 15 (yes, the chip counter is a mark against it but I like how there was an ~extreme~ final RB that still had a chance for position change, amongst everything else)
- Good in theory / lame in practice: 16, 19, 20, 23 (in the case for 23 it had good imagery but I think every task was easier than what the show suggested)
- 24: 24
For the pre-AS seasons, I - SHOCKINGLY - found FE's finale to be the best? Finale TBCs are fun and good, especially since unlike 25 they didn't just have an impromptu Pit Stop in Ninoy Aquino International Airport and instead forced teams to search a 55,000 seat stadium for what amounted to a 10 minute advantage :funny:

It had New Zealand, Bali, Botswana, and the race's first visits to Northern Ireland and Bora Bora! Very exotic and varied imo (except Switzerland)

:groan: Sorry, I meant the finale Leg of TAR22.... :-[
I didn't mean the entire route of the season. I did like the locales of the season, but the tasks could have been better.
After looking back at my grammar, I see where you could pick that out. All I can say is oops.

Speaking of TAR8, I decided to pop in the Panama and Costa Rica Legs and boy were they fun. Reminds me of how great TAR8's cast is, especially compared to most of the post-TAR12 seasons.

I love the TAR 8 cast and I don't found TAR 8 was the worst pre-AS season despite the route and the task was sucks. Compare to the very next season TAR 9 which was my worst pre-AS season despite the great route and acceptable task because I passionately dislike TAR 9 cast, boot order and the predictability so much.

TAR8 is actually in my Top 5 seasons TBH.
Ignore the fact that it was almost entirely in the USA, it was a fun season with great teams, some good tasks, and it delivered!
