Ep 11 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Prophet:
Now I think Jeremy and Sandy have an equal chance of winning as Amani and Marcus. Their edit has improved throughout the Race, so perhaps a redemption arc? :duno: Though it could also be a tactic to keep the final interesting. But I still wonder why the edit has given Amani and Marcus so much positive attention throughout the entire Race.
Only time will tell I guess.

The Detour... I didn't know what Amani and Marcus were supposed to do. I was so damn confused by them just carrying all the seafood that they've got to different stalls.

This was a standard navigation task that has come up in several prior races (one example being AR12, episode 4 returning to the Ouagadougou for the Tampouy Goat Market). It tests the ability of the team electing it to ask locals for help and be able to quickly follow it once they get it. It could be any items carried, but because Panama is a seafaring country it was logical for the items to be squid, barracuda and other fresh fish.

Actually that detour lost a lot of its essence because there was only one team doing it. There were many stands in the fish market and each stand would only accept a certain amount of each fish, for example 5Kilos of shrimp, so if each team had to deliver 3kilos of shrimp then the next team could only deliver 2kilos in that same stand and then it would have to find another stand to deliver the rest.
I would like to see that type of task again but with more teams, because it's both mental and physical.
We have played in TAR games similar tasks and they are a lot of fun.
