TAR 21: What to Expect! New Twist?

<< < (15/28) > >>

theschnauzers:
The increase to $2 million is a stunner. I believe this is the first time any of the reality competition shows on US broadcast networks have increased their cash prize.

Now that's one way to heighten the competition!

Dom:
I have absolutely no idea how astronomical a typical season's budget must come to, but I too would have rather seen the money spent on more extraordinary tasks. I think the competition is pretty fierce with even $1m on the line, but it'll be interesting to see if that does provide any extra motivation!

I've got a feeling that there won't be any catches or clauses, it'll simply be first to the finish line wins $2m. However, I'd like to see something along the lines of 'you can only win $2m if you win at least five legs' or 'never finish below 5th'.

Air:
This will be really interesting. :tup:

asar:
Ofcourse having good route is good but I'd rather want to see more of the competitive side of the race for a change now. U-turns will be used and they will probably put alot of them into this season.  That being said if I was on this race I wouldn't want to win first leg as I would be marked for death by other racers now.

FishyFred:
I don't really see how more money is more motivating.  If $1M wasn't good enough, they wouldn't be racing.  Heck, promise a great route, and plenty of people would volunteer for a chance at $100k.

Also, I don't even see how, if it just the 1st leg 1st place team that gets it, that is extra motivation, as that is only motivation for that team.  Starting with the second episode, the only change is 9 teams are racing for $1M like always, and 1 for $2M.  90% stay the same.

At least they should make it so the winners of the most total legs of the final 3 gets the extra prize money chance.  Then, the motivation is not so much the extra money, but the chance at extra money, and that motivation will continue throughout for all the top teams.
