LEG 12 (United Kingdom --> United States) EPISODE ANALYSIS:
I'm surprised we didn't get any live sightings for this Leg as the skydiving looked like a meteor falling from the sky (no news about it) and the "I" in The Mirage was light-less during the night :res:. In this "all-stars" finale, we've experienced illusions to illuminations, ad digging to diving, but it was just not enough to please our thriller TAR stimula. The finale fell short on having adventure locomotives instead of chauffeured transportation which defeated the constant changes in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The Leg was just too linear for me that it really wasn't a good finale at all. The final task was lamely predictable since it is obvious the first helicopter to depart the business would drop its team member before the second one.
ROADBLOCK #1: (Who believes in magic and possibly sorcery?)
The first Roadblock of the episode was pretty cheesy, but nonetheless a linear task in general as it depended on who was able to open their ring of keys crate first. Don't have anything to say about this task, but "I :luvya: U DAVID COPPERFIELD!"
FIRST ROADBLOCK SCORE: 5/10
ROUTE INFO:
The Mirage sign lighting task was pretty good as it required speed in installing lightbulbs and memorization skills to explain how many lightbulbs teams used, but I wish it was a Roadblock instead just to make this task a little more challenging.
ROUTE INFO SCORE:8/10
ROADBLOCK #2: (Who wants to burn up the night?)
All I want to say for this Roadblock was, lame. Despite the futuristic skydiving suit creating a flashy and neat light show, this task was ultimately pointless as stated above, the first helicopter to depart will obviously drop the teammate in it first.
SECOND ROADBLOCK SCORE: 4/10
OTHER SCORES:
LEG DIFFICULTY: 5/10
TEAM DRAMA: 7/10
DAVID COPPERFIELD's ILLUSION: 8/10, I've seen more mind-blowing trickery at his MGM Grand venue. Believe me, it's worth the price and possibly even a discoun for what MGM really wants people to pay. ;)
WINNER SATISFACTORY: 5/10
FINALE OVERALL SCORE: 5/10
SEASON OVERALL SCORE: 3/10
(Sorry, I just didn't feel the effort put into this season. Every Leg of this season was just bland at some point and the "local" movie-style music didn't do this season any justice. Worst season I've watched. :([/size]
couchracer:
For a "linear" leg, first place changed frequently. May not love the winners,
but it was a flashy, watchable, Vegas ending. Enjoyable.

--- End quote ---
Dave 5, Connor 8, that's exceeded Roadblock limit.
