HaMerotz LaMillion 7 (TAR ISRAEL 7) Ongoing SHOW DIscussion
PAHC:
Well, this is the first final task I can outright say was awful. I personally am not a fan of Tia and Fey, but they sure as hell didn't deserve to fall from 2nd (after a U-Turn, no less!) to last.
The task itself was also inherently bad. Its scenery was, let's say... not the greatest. And its entire premise was both not fun to watch and probably very unenjoyable for the teams to go through.
I definitely agree with G.B. about this one.

I left a comment on HaMerotz’s Instagram page in Hebrew that said:
“I’m a Jew from America that also loves the American race, and I have a question: Why does every leg end with a luck task? Do you guys in Israel like seeing this? All the tasks before are meaningless because everything can get mixed up in a task that the teams have no control over. I just wanted to know what you guys in Israel thought because the American race doesn’t have this. Also, what happened to the intro at the start of every episode? There was in intro with all the teams in seasons 1-5, but there wasn’t in season 6 or this season. Does this bother you like it bothers me?”
Curious to see if I get any responses.
Musicon:
The dancing (though it was no doubt judged very leniently) was by far the best part of the latest episode, definitely funny with Eden's ballet and some others. The last task was like they were running out of ideas of how to do another luck based task. Fey, the smaller one, is quite dramatic and sassy - I much prefer her to Tia. I don't see anyone as villains, the game allows you to just target the same people so it's natural to do that, you get less blood on your hands. I'd blame the rules for just making it too easy to do that.
G.B.:
Here is the best shot we have of the clue directing teams to the sugarcane field. Wikipedia identifies it as a field somewhere in Bel Air Rivière Sèche. However, you can see written on the clue "Off B8 La Baraque" which, as far as I can tell, is nowhere near Bel Air. It's located near Rivière-des-Anguilles, and you can see "Anguilles" in the clue as well. It's a bit confusing that "Bel Air" is written in the clue as well, so my best guess was that the name of the property was Bel Air something something Sugarcane, while it was located in Rivière-des-Anguilles.
Thoughts? Disagreements?
Also, can somebody update the Wikipedia page for the sugar mill and change it to Savannah Sugar Factory. I'm 99% sure that's the correct place. Satellite imagery of this location perfectly matches the brief establishing shot during the daytime.

Double checked.
Sugarcane field is Bel Air Estate. (http://belair.mu/the-estate/)
Savannah Sugar Factory is owned by Omnicane and also calls it the La Baraque Sugarcane Mill. (http://www.omnicane.com/business-locatons/omnicane-limited)
