I really liked the tasks this finale on the cultural aspect, though transferring the music task to this leg instead and leaving a relevant cultural task as the last task before the Pit Stop back in Manila would have been awesome. The globe is pretty general knowledge.
Holy cow, the missed opportunity with the jazz band at the French Quarter as well as the teledisco. :groan:

The city is also known for musical stuffs (jazz) so it would have been perfect to set up the task in this leg instead on Manila's

I am saying it was better then family edition
Bookworm:
Leg design wise, I can't help but seriously admire the amount of tasks sandwiched in- the production team really made use of the locations and I'm sure they're proud of that! Between traveling by washboard, adding a second rappel task, and adding in a little clue that fit the Jazz aesthetic, there were little task-ettes that made the leg shine.
However, it wasn't super challenging, and besides the King Cake RB, which was luck-based (maybe a little skill?) there unfortunately wasn't much room for teams to advance themselves.
Perhaps Will & James would have passed the others if they were last to the first RB, but instead they only expanded their lead. Like Peach said, a memory task would have been fantastic. I didn't think the Crescent City Connection added much to the leg and the French Quarter could easily have served as the adrenaline-heavy venue of the leg, replacing the typical means of adding craziness to final legs.
All in all, I respected the production teams' willingness to become more flexible with ARIs replacing Detours/Roadblocks, a la HaMerotz LaMillion; hopefully the next step can be making these ARI more challenging and permitting of placement shifts.

At least it's a better featured visit. :funny:
Louisiana was treated more like a city on a road trip than a leg.

That leads to an interesting discussion: is it better to have a lot of tasks in a finale that aren't too difficult or time consuming or to have not as many tasks but the tasks are all difficult and time consuming?
