TAR 35: Ep 12: "A Sunset, Seattle Scramble" (12/13/2023 Season Finale)

<< < (5/5)

Bookworm:
In Joel & Garrett's car, we see a miniature Space Needle. Perhaps that's their (only) clue upon leaving SeaTac, a la teams in TAR1 receiving a replica Eiffel Tower from Mukuni Village?

Space Needle (RB?) - Scramble - Final memory task - West Point Lighthouse - Finish line

I think the order is Space Needle; scramble; lighthouse; memory challenge; then finish line :)

from the finale findings thread, they went to the memory task challenge first then the lighthouse

Where is the Finale Findings Thread? I looked and couldn't find it.

Thanks for the videos over the season RealityFreakWill!

The absence of Pit Start times for Leg 12 reveals some editing "magic":

- To lay the groundwork, we know the clock on St Patrick's Cathedral is accurate. When Joel/Garrett check in at the end of Leg 11, the clock shows 5:40pm, matching up with the sun/shadow angles for that time. The clock also shows Rob/Corey finishing their mat chat at 4:20pm, while Greg/John check in at around 4:30pm and chat until 4:50pm.

- For the finale, we see teams boarding a United Airlines flight in Ireland (the United aircraft and an Irish/English bilingual airport sign are in the same shot).

- United has four flights a day leaving Dublin, leaving at 9:20am (for Newark), 11:25am (for Chicago), 12:15pm (for Washington DC), and 1:35pm (for Newark). From deductions on the Transport Thread, we know teams took the 9:20am flight on the morning of Fri 7 Jul.

- Theoretically, teams should be released early that morning to make the flight. Joel/Garrett are released with a clear shot of the cathedral clock showing 4:55 (am or pm). But that's an awful lot of people to be leisurely walking around the park at 4:55am, isn't it?

- When teams get in their taxis, we have a shot of an open Prime Pizza, which should be open only from 4pm to midnight. To add to this, we get a glimpse of the clock in Joel/Garrett's taxi showing 17:07. But a late afternoon Pit Start would have teams miss all United flights leaving that day, so...

- This means that after teams checked in to the Pit Stop on Wed 5 Jul, they returned to St Patrick's Park in the afternoon the next day (Thu 6 Jul) to film "fake" departure shots, but didn't actually go to the airport until the day after, on the morning of Fri 7 Jul.

Sneaky sneaky!

maf:
On their podcast Joel & Garret said that the flight they were supposed to fly out on was canceled so they had to wait 18 (or was it 15) hours for another flight. So I would guess that they did release them at 16:55 and they were supposed to be on a flight later that night but ended up having to wait until the next morning for their new flight.
