Things TAR shouldn't have done

<< < (6/20) > >>

Zack.:
The Jaipur Detour which was essentially panhandle in India or 'ride these heavy bikes a fairly long way and then search through the numerous barrels for a tiny object to trade for your next clue WHY WOULDN'T YOU PANHANDLE?'. Not only am I not a fan of watching people beg for money but I'm most assuredly not a fan of the race design forcing it to be the optimal task.

The open up a cone and you will find a gnome task in TAR 7. I nearly died watching it. One of the worst Roadblocks EVER.

Anyway, product placement is always good.. cause it keeps the show going, but when the product placement becomes a lame task which shouldn't have been part of a Detour/Roadblock.... it is sad.

I like how they incorporated the gnome into TAR 20, where they have to slide the gnome across the ice rink to get their clue. That should be at least how it's done. Not instead dig up 50 holes and ask teams to find the random limited gnomes. Sounds really hard right? :stare

Having Phil spend twenty seconds explaining the cultural relevance of each task. Show, don't tell.

I learn many things in TAR through this, so I think I'd rather have him have time in discussing (but not more than 20 seconds though) :p
