TARC 5-Final Thoughts
Bookworm:
I really like Stunami's idea of expanding the 150 challenges, not only would it have added to the final challenge's complexity, but it would done a better job of driving the Canada 150 theme home. There ideally should have been one every Leg, even if it was something minor (the Algoma rail was one of the better 150 challenges, but it could very well have been a minor ARI or one side of the Detour (Pump It, The Cart). I had nearly forgotten about 150 challenges after not seeing any for three straight legs at the beginning of the Race (Legs 3,4, & 5)
WindsorSue:
Okay, here goes.
Did I enjoy this season? Of course. TARC always brings it. My problem is Season 2 is the one I compare all other seasons, with Season 1 a close second. I would say Season 5 was comparable to both 4 and 3. Although they were perfectly good seasons, they each had a couple of things wrong. But hey, nothing can be perfect. FOR ME, their main problems were the teams who won. I just find it very hard to get behind teams who dominate the season, even if like this season, it is mostly due to luck.
Last night's Finale was incredible. So many tasks and RMs. The monumental mistake by Kenneth, followed by a gleam of hope that they would be the underdog winners.
Some other points:
I would prefer at least 4 international destinations.
No more Southeast Asia. PLEASE.
I do not mind them revisiting destinations as long as tasks are fresh. That is why Vancouver, Regina, Ottawa & Quebec City worked. Having said that, please no more. Those destinations are done.
Quite frankly, being Canada's Sesquicentennial, I expected more from the destinations. Yes. I expected London, somewhere else in the U.K. or The Netherlands. I expected Dawson City, the interior of Quebec or the Gaspe, Labrador, anywhere in Manitoba, and of course, Fredericton.
In the future:
I don't mind the Face-Off, but please put it near the beginning of the leg so the penalized team has a chance to catch the rest.
More character task judges. Remember S1's RCMP judge?
Pitstop Greeters: Go back to the likes of those in S2. The only thing I remember from any of this year's greeters were the budgies in Beijing.
Granth:
Seasons: 2 > 4 > 1 > 5 > 3
Winners: 4 > 1 > 5 > 2 > 3

Did you like/love/tolerate this season?
I liked this season, cause they had good and deserving winners, unlike some other seasons.
Thoughts on the cast?
To me, it was a little bit boring, but not as bad as some others seasons!
What about the Route?
I will not be satisfied with any route, unless it goes full international. If that doesn't happen then, could we please get more visits to Nunavut, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and the Northwest Territories :res:
Enough/too much/just right International?
THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH INTERNATIONAL UNTIL 12 LEGS ARE OVERSEAS!!!
Twists: Express Pass, Face Off, Uturn, Fast Forward-- are you happy with them?
Thoughts on which work, which don't? Which should be dumped? How could they be better?
Please never offer 3 Express Passes in one task. It doesn't work. FF's are fine, but we need more of them. Face-Offs need to stop being sports tasks. Finally, please one U-Turn per team AND NEVER OFFER THEM BEFORE A DETOUR!!!
What would you like to see moving forward?
12 legs of FULL INTERNATIONAL legs. That's it.
Hope you enjoyed guys! :<3

Am I missing something because they didn't do the latter lol? TARCAN kept the U-Turn placements the same
