Redskevin88's TAR 33 News & Recaps *Contains Spoilers*

<< < (4/4)

During Leg 10’s pit stop, all three teams were flown back to Los Angeles, California, and began the Amazing Race 33 finale on an equal footing at the helipad of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. Teams had to locate a clue box at one of three cylinders and spot the combination on the elevator. Ryan & Dusty fell behind when they decided to ride the elevator instead.

Raquel & Cayla and Kim & Penn progressed to the next location where they must smash pinatas to get their next clue, which is divided into three. Both teams have the smart strategy of grabbing the clues afterward instead of blindly holding everything at once. Raquel & Cayla keep their lead, and they must now travel to a studio where they must become a foley artist and recreate some of TAR’s not-so iconic moments. This task is familiar to Kim & Penn, who are podcast hosts, and they narrow Raquel & Cayla’s lead. It all comes down to a memory challenge which Kim & Penn overcome and they are “game, set, and match” and Amazing Race champions!

This season was surprisingly enjoyable despite the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic and provided a form of escape for those unable to travel and respite from the pandemic. They also visited places like Corsica, which was last visited in Season 6, and Portugal, which was last in Season 23.

My only complaint was that the second leg should have been in Scotland, and the finale could have been in a different city, as the private jet opened possibilities, but the producers managed to highlight an unknown part of Los Angeles and paid a nice tribute to the people behind the scenes with the foley task. I liked the overall cast, would have loved to see more of the four teams that dropped out (yes, even Caro & Ray), although the two African-American all-male teams felt too similar and generic to me.

I didn't get the feel like Taylor & Isaiah were the same as Michael & Moe. Both were viral stars, yeah, but the former had the more outgoing personalities.

I'll take your word for it but from what I watched from both teams I don't see what was different about the two of them. I also don't get why CBS would cast two teams with similar backgrounds. The only thing I got from Michael & Moe was that they screwed up to be eliminated twice in two legs, while I don't remember anything about Taylor & Isaiah.
