Ep 12 East Coast SHOW updates --FINALE **please read the rules**
Dånooky:
This finale was so underwhelming, IMO. Maybe if JS hadn't had gone to the real dump things might have gotten interesting...I'm going to nominate this leg as one of the least memorable ever.

The only thing that comes even slightly close to this was the TAR16 finale for me.
This was truly a terrible leg.
And also, surely the people who wrote the clues realised that there was a place in Atlanta called 'The Dump'. Any reasonable person would surmise that 'The Dump' is where they needed to go, not a place from a book!
WalterC:
I actually liked this leg, as it seemed to be more in the hands of the racers, and less on the cab drivers. Or at least it appeared that way. Came down to going to the right "Dump".
While I like the idea of making the memorization challenge more physically demanding and not relying on notes, the map part just seemed too easy. Even Jeremy & Sandy got it quickly.
And have to admit, love the baseball part, involving the true home run king. Never thought this show would involve some baseball-related task. :cmas22

I completel agree with the memory challenge being too easy - it barely took 5 minutes for the two teams we saw, or so it appeared.
I'm not much of a baseball fan, but that clue was definitely the only part of this leg which I enjoyed! They had a baseball task on the Family Edition, but yeah, it was quite an interesting clue. Unfortunately, that was the only part of the leg which I liked.

Let's just say that Marcus got his butt kicked in by an opponent's defensive end, to use one of the football analogies Marcus was so fond of. When he braked just after landing in the simulator, he always (except on what looked like his 7th attempt) skidded off the runway to the right or to the left. Amani attributed it to the pressure of the situation. I believe it would have been a different result had Amani volunteered to be the captain, but that would not have been their way of handling that critical choice.
