TAR 21: What to Expect! New Twist?

<< < (20/28) > >>

Trying to motivate them for the first leg win?? :duno:

addie:
It makes the most sence to me, since we had that leg 2 clue saying: "The winner of this leg will win the Express Pass". What would the winner of leg 1 otherwise win?

Dom:
I think it might have been mentioned before, but I like the idea of only one of the final 3 being eligible to win $2m. That team is whichever one of the three finished highest in the first leg.

So for example, if you came third in the first leg, you'd only get a shot at $2m if the two teams ahead of you get eliminated.

That sounds familiar to me.  Why?

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.

It is really meant to motivate people to watch it not motivate the teams

Unless they play with the greed.  You know, something like "if the winner of the 1rst leg didn't reach the F3, the following team who arrived at the PitStop in that leg gain the right to win the 2 million prize, and so on if the previous teams are eliminated".  This would change the whole strategy on the race, making more fierce the fight for stay in the race, for the use of the U-Turns or even for gaining the Fast Forwards.
