There's no guarantee that there won't also be a memory task in Leg 11
Mardi Gras World may present the opportunity for a float-themed memory task

No they were not there long enough. I think they just picked up something there.
If there is a memory task it is inside the Dome.

The "city sprint" sounds like they're just going to be traveling on foot to locations around Metro Manila in a set order like a marathon. In my specs from pure live sightings, I thought Phil was going to hand out a list of tasks they needed to complete in whatever order, like orienteering, where navigation and travel can diversify.

Not to mention the memory task being done on the penultimate leg instead of Show contentNOLA... :groan: nothing remotely about the Philippines for this one.

Having teams complete a list of tasks in any order would be an editing nightmare for TAR, especially contemporary TAR. So I doubt they'do that. Final 4 is the perfect time to do such a thing though.

But with the ReaLaLLiaNce, they'd probably just stick together all day and do things in the same order anyway.

I do like a memory task in the Penultimate leg. (While having a more difficult memory task in the Final Leg) But this is definitely not the season to start doing it on. lol

Thanks for correcting me. That's quite disappointing, especially if it proves to be a 2 season gap without a memory challenge.

Yeah, wonder if they're going to share the answers with each other on this, too.

Don't get me wrong. I like Will & James. They seem like good people. And they played hard with the hand they were dealt. That hand just happened to be a lot of Yields and U-Turns. But I don't like that many of them and know many agree! I feel two U-Turns this season on Leg 3 and 9, would have been AMPLE! The inclusion of a Yield and a U-Turn is just too much. If they wanted to bring back a Yield, they should have done away with U-Turns and just had 3 or 4 yields on Leg 3, 5, 7 and mega-leg 8. There's been one of either every leg apart from the first! Simply too much.

I liked the mega-leg, which is essentially a double length leg without a virtual pit-stop like in early seasons? It isn't quite a KOR, but I liked it. Also interesting to hear the 'KOR' from Leg 1 to 2 had a day between, so essentially isn't a KOR at all! But I did like the mega-leg, so don't mind it staying.

I also want to mention that I am so thrilled there is no Head-to-Head. I hope that remains that way. Though I wouldn't have minded its inclusion if it was placed halfway through the leg - like in Canada and Israel - I did not like it being placed at the Pitstop at all. So I am glad that is gone!

I liked the cast a lot, and feel the editing on the whole was very good. Saddened there has been no flight drama. I do wish they would aim to include at least 3 legs per season where teams do have to exercise some skill here - maybe on legs where there are multiple flight options...you obviously couldn't do it for a leg from Nepal to Mongolia but a leg from England to India could surely allow for some jockeying?

But I DO agree about less U-Turn/Yields, I DO agree about more flight drama, I DO agree that the alliances thing really has played far too heavily on the season and made it a bit sour. This isn't Survivor or Big Brother. Having little alliances ala Jamie and Cara/Margie and Luke is fine, but this one was really TOO MUCH. But on the plus side, if there is a Unfinished Business 2.0 in the near future, I can easily see teams like Leo and Alana and Kaylynn and Haley coming back!

Hope producers will listen to fans and implement changes for 33 re-filming in 2021 (remaining hopeful) and long live TAR! Remember - it will be a hell of a lot sadder if we didn't have TAR at all, so we have to support it, even if we want changes! I think WRP were on the right track with the 'back to basics' cast, we just needed less of these Yield/U-Turns, more flight drama/less alliance, and personally I would still have loved an older couple/team over 50...This cast is very 35 and under besides Jerry and Hung and Chee being 39 and 38!
