Leg 1 Designs

(1/6) > >>

Air:
What really annoyed me about this leg (and practically every SL since I started obsessively watching since TAR17) is that how incredibly linear they are.

TAR17 - Two nonlinear tasks (RB slightly and boat rowing) GOOD JOB TAR17 you went well at this!
TAR18 - That decoding thing was really the only nonlinear task so you score poorly TAR18 even though you screwed over the cowboys <3 but then tbc </3
TAR19 - 1-2 nonlinear tasks (memory challenge and rowing) so good job TAR19 you do well ^_^
TAR20 - One task: empanadas. TAR20 at least put this at the end to keep the drama up.
TAR21 - TAR21 ACTUALLY BEING GOOD AT SOMETHING <333 3/3 tasks were nonlinear <33333
TAR22 - One task max because the boat task really didn't affect much at all :X And it was luck, ugh.
TAR23 - One task again :res:
TAR24 - One task, right at the start, and a luck task but that doesn't really count :X

TAR needs to fix this. Especially TAR24 I feel that the leg should have been a NEL, and also congratulations for TAR21 actually performing well in something <333

I kinda agree on all counts with you Air, except some, but I'm feeling like typing a LOT so here goes :lol:

TAR18: It was an eh premiere, but the sharks and sailing task looked pretty in HD and the decoding task caused Cowboys to struggle so props to that.

TAR 19: I really really liked it. Even though the tasks were simple, it was a very simple and fun premiere. The billboards were a tricky and well done mental clue, the dragon boats were linear but it was good too as a task, and the telephone was mildly entertaining. The Hazard though was basically a way to show teams in the ads like "THE AMAZING RACE! *cue team screaming and doing something extreme*. Still a great leg though.

TAR 20: The leg design was eh, but the meltdowns were pretty fun.

TAR 21: I fell asleep. Not kidding. And I wasn't even excited for the premiere, the only thing I genuinely remember about this leg was "I liked Abbie & Ryan and Chips and Twinnies. Bye."

TAR 22: The mass quit was slightly notable, but otherwise it was eh.

TAR 23: Another heights task, eh. The rowing was boring as hell too. Possibly the worst leg ever.

TAR 24: Luck, Luck, then Luck. Legitimately horrible.

I think the non-linear aspect of it gave the editors an opportunity to segregate the editing properly so that there's little confusion?

I hate it, but to be honest they can actually afford a 2nd RB task that is based on luck to jumble up the teams' ranking like in Season 22. But I guess sometimes a lot of what we see happen on the race comes with a factor of luck from the combination of teams and the things they do?

For example, this season premiere will be boring as hell if Nadiya and Natalie didn't get lost... and we all know it will be Youtube getting eliminated when it's about 35 minutes into the episode (if you are not spoiled in anyway).

PS: Who cares if they do 5 turns in the air in Guangzhou? I'll rather them do some traditional folk dance or eat some gross food. :res:

Someone should have misdirected the cowboys and lead them to Beijing tbh
