I love most of those tasks too! :hoot: The second Czech leg was epic!!! ;)

But I enjoyed the finale. I'd probably say it was the best finale without a memory task. It was suspenseful, since the positions kept switching around all the time, unlike most of the more recent finales.

Post by: Prophet on March 30, 2012, 07:41:46 PM
It is true about the position changes. The finale was probably more fun to watch than TAR18 or 19 or a few others but I thought the final task was very poorly planned.

Body Building Task in Belgium
It was very unusual to me. :lol:

Definitely agree about the final task. :tup: It was pretty poor. Although one of my faves won, so that's another reason why I love that finale. :lol:

Not my favorite, but I think the coracle task in TAR 17 Leg 1 (using the boat to cross the water) had the potential.

- If teams weren't spread so far apart and more neck-and-neck it would've created great comedy/suspense.
- Even better if they had to cross the moat to the Pit Stop. That would've added for even more suspense/hype.
- Maybe if they did this task in like the F5 or F6 where teams tend to be more and more competitive?

Wouldn't mind seeing it return  :-[ although it's very unlikely as I'm the only one that likes it  :lol:
