Best Finale
Reilly Queens:
I chose TAR 15 because I loved the teams, the tasks, the switch up after every task and the best Part was Erica Breaking down!! :lol3:

I was familar with the name, having lived in Atlanta as long as I had, and I've been in Peachtree Center a number of times, but that name has been all over Atlanta over the years. I just wasn't aware that the park was a public park; although with all of the office park developments built around Atlanta, i just assumed that the company had built a private park space.

It is in a place that not a lot of people hang out, unless they go fishing in the Trinity River. It is very close to downtown Dallas. It is named after real estate developer Trammel Crow, a Dallas native. I had driven by that park area for decades, I just didnt know it had a name till the finale of TAR5. He started the Trammell Crow Company and was one of the first big mega-real estate developers. He and his company developed property all across America. It is said that he owned more property than Donald Trump. He developed the Peachtree Center in Atlanta too.
The park is between the levees on the Trinity River built by the Corps of Engineersk for flood control. He joined forces with another Dallas developer John Stemmons to develop property along the first big super freeway in Dallas...I-35E which is named after John Stemmons. The park is next to this freeway.
I will add to clarify.......that the Trammel Crow Park is in the flood plain of the Trinity River. It is underwater several times a year, depending on the rains. The fact that TAR picked it for a finale makes perfect sense. No one really uses that park. So having the finish line mat there, was really like hiding in plain sight. To me, there is a better park in downtown Dallas to have a finale, Pioneer Park. It has some bronze longhorns that symbolize Texas better.

I also like S11's finale. But mostly of the way it was edited. The music, the scenes, the 3-way taxi race and the scene of the taxi pulling in(almost made me believe that DK had won) and all. :<3

i disagree about the allstars finale. the final task in allstars was pretty crappy and luck-based. plus it got ruined (just like the whole season) by Eric and Danielle winning.
