Makes. No. Sense.

Chicago is famous for the deep dish pizza. Of course it makes sense that they do it there...
My votes go to the Hazard in S15, the double-elimination (would've prevented the overratedness that occur) in S19, and the mid-leg pitstop in S10.
Oh, and I hope they don't bring the Salvage Pass to the US version. Keep it in TARAus only pl0x, TPTB.

Better idea: let's not keep it at all.

Not on the last leg, as a last task, without even a memory kind of challenge. TAR 7 and TAR 6 had one of the most "boring" finales without any sort of a proper task. Of course TAR 7's one was made controversial by the showdown between U/J and Romber... but TAR 6's one was just... BOO. Especially when Freddy and Kendra won. :gaah:
I actually like the Salvation Pass idea, but I just wished they had a better either/or option for the choices. For example, choose to save the last team, OR choose to have an auto non-elimination protection just for the next leg of the race. Or if they choose to save the team, two teams will be eliminated next leg, and if they choose not to save, they will get maybe 200 more USD (or a sum of money) to use on the race? I mean, we have always seen teams running out of money so this might actually be a variable incentive.. as compared to starting an hour earlier... if you get what I mean.

I guess that's better. Right now it's just "Ooh! A 30 minute headstart when there's more than likely going to be an equalizer!"

I love Chicago a lot and that deep dish pizza final task honestly was very bland and uninteresting. I was not impressed when season 6 did not include the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. :groan:
I would have been satisfied if they featured a baseball related challenge due to the Chicago Cubs' history in baseball. Even better, since Chicago is called "The Windy City", let the final task become a wind challenge where they have to walk shoeless into a horizontal wind tunnel with slippery floors and grab their final clue while the giant fan blades makes wind towards them at a whopping 60 mph. :lol3: (Lake Michigan humor)

(Not a wishlist, just stating my opinion and what they could have done better on season 6.) :tup:

Apperantily the Salvage Pass has changed (on TARP). Now you can use it in any leg to give yourself a 1/2 an hour credit or save the bottem placing team.
