TAR 27 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread **SPOILERS**
RachelLeVega:
NYC again? :groan: It was visited for a finale six seasons ago and a start almost recently. Unless they go on a Long Island route toward Montauk or visit infamous landmarks like Lady Liberty, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, or the Empire State Building, why?
Big Mother:
aaargh! I live in Brooklyn, and for months I've been dreaming of being randomly stoppedon the street by Amazing Racers and giving them directions.
Figures that they would end up in NYC right when I'm on vacation...
But then again my chances of bumping into them were slim to none anyway.
It'll be cool though to watch it and remember what I was doing on that particular day....

Remember the theme for this season's route; except for the leg in The Hague, all of the legs have been throwbacks to the early seasons, and even leg 11 was a throwback to TAR 11, leg 11. As since half of the legs were "throwbacks" to season one, it seemed to me that NYC was a pretty strong candidate for this season just on that alone, and I said as much several days ago once teams went to India for two legs, duplicating the two Indian legs from TAR 1. My hope is that they used One World Trade Center (for obvious reasons) and its connection to the broadcasting of the show's first ever episode just 6 days before 9/11.

As much as I would care to disagree with the route choice in my head, I will accept the New York City finale for the theme of an essentially retrospective season. I would not mind whatsoever if they went toward Montauk and the Hamptons though as long as the leg is well thought out.
I will agree with the choice to use bold locations such as the One World Trade Center, (the birth of TAR in) Central Park, the Empire State Building, Radio City, Carnegie Hall, and perhaps a TAR10 and historic memory like the NY Daily News Building. It will add a unique flavor to the finale when production has been avoiding crowd-friendly places since the beginning.
Zack.:
Given that a) this route is a #throwbacktarsday and b) that the majority of the last visit in New York took place in a junkyard, at night, or indoors, I think there's potential for some amazing verdant scenery especially for the final mat.
fake eta I feel like they might even sneak away and find a spot in Central Park for the mat <3
