Anyone notice anything? #thisplanewon'tfly

I thought it was one of the most enjoyable seasons in a few years, and better than last year's BB. The teams were interesting without being annoying. There was a high level of performance. And the Face Off was a nice new twist that added a whole other layer of pressure.

Jen said on Rob Has a Podcast that one of the hardest parts of the final challenge for her was that the clue said properly assemble a plane and solve the puzzle but in reality, "properly assembling" the plane was subservient to solving the puzzle and the final solution for everyone actually wasn't a proper assembly.

I took flying lessons before I could drive. The first thing you learn about is lift and thrust and wind flow over the wing.

I don't think I could have gotten past assembling a plane with the wing on backwards either. With Jen's great attention to every detail this must have been excruciating.
I have AMAZING respect for the ART department on TAR. They are the ones who give us all the detailed clues, clue boxes, signs, and task creations that make TAR the wonderful show we all love.
But have to wish this had been caught before it was used in a FINAL TASK where every second counts.
I love this FINAL TASK and think it may be the most difficult Final Task ever. It had everything...memory, puzzle solving, physical effort. It required extraordinary attention to every detail.
But it would be a shame if this one strange detail caused any sort of a mental delay in solving the puzzle for any of the teams.

I love the edit for this leg! Feels like TAR12-17 now.
Cody is in some neon jumpsuit getting ready to JUMP!
Commercials.

Exactly! The best edited (in terms of scoring, transitions, and effects, and also the structure of Phil's spiels while narrating the tasks) seasons are from TAR 12-17, so it was pure joy for me to see it play out in the finale! Hopefully this style of editing shall continue for the next seasons to come!
Wow, that was a truly spectacular penultimate and finale leg! I LOOOOOOOOVE night legs and oh boy oh boy we're given TWO hours of it!
LEG 11 - Hong Kong
Seriously, I think HK has hosted the ALL excellent legs (in terms of design and difficulty) in TAR history (S02, S11, S17, part of S27, S30), so I will always look forward to HK. And wow, all of the tasks (well that RB was easy, but I guess it was necessary to have a slightly less engaging task) are great! And that LKF task was super difficult! And the fact that all teams are within inches from each other is crazy! But lol at the random pitstop hahaha (hey, we've got cow stables in Germany and Konno Hachimangu x 2 in Japan, so I guess any place could be pitstop-worthy nowadays hahaa)
5/5 will watch again
LEG 12 - SF
An amazing night finale! This is the only night finale, and boy it delivered! dont force me to acknowledge TAR24 as a season because everything in it sucked. The city hall in red and yellow would have been a cool feature, but I guess they dont have much time ahaha. EVIL finale task!!! Are the teams even allowed to use an empty paper and pen to solve it down, or is it all done mentally? CRAZY! Easily steals away the TAR12/13 amazing finale task to me.
I loooooove Henry and Evan so quite a bit bummed not to see them win. Also Alex and Conor, hope they return!!!
As for Jody? Hmmmm ok good winners, at least they are not disappointing (e.g. TK/Rachel, Eric/Danielle, Josh/Brent, and recent winners I legit forgot the names).
Amazing season 30!!!! Glad that we recovered from the slump! After S20-21, I kinda lost my TAR appetite, I was not as big of a fan as before. But soooo glad to be reminded of how much I loved TAR!
