Leg 11: Paris.
- Kyland/Taylor weren't too far away when they were stuck in their taxi circling Montmartre; it was a feasible strategy to just travel that last 600m/700yd on foot
- Based on travel times right now:
 = Going Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles > Pont de Grenelle > Jardin du Luxembourg > Musée des Arts et Métiers would take 12.0km / 54min, 19.3km / 89min if you add Trocadéro (Jag/Jas)
 = Institut > Jardin > Musée > Pont would take 12.9km / 67min, 15.6km / 77min if you add on Trocadéro (Kyland/Taylor, Adam/Joseph)
 = Institut > Musée > Jardin > Pont would take 14.9km / 73min, 17.6km / 82min if you add Trocadéro
 = Institut > Jardin > Pont > Musée would take 15.5km / 62min, 23.1km / 102min if you add Trocadéro (Izzy/Paige)
 = Institut > Pont > Musée > Jardin would take 15.6km / 72min, 21.3km / 97min if you add Trocadéro
 = Institut > Musée > Pont > Jardin would take 28.7km / 102min, 35.2km / 124min if you add Trocadéro
- So Kyland/Taylor and Adam/Joseph lucked out a little by getting the Pit Stop so close to the bridge, while Izzy/Paige didn't pick the best route in any scenario, and ended up zigzagging across Paris

The cluegivers getting coffee is the type of thing that makes the air when you have a 90-minute episode and just four teams. I bet things like this have happened before, but it had to be left on the cutting room floor.

They had to eat up just enough airtime to avoid 3 and 4 checking in, lol.

In past F4 finales, you could tell the 3rd team by what's clearly the US. The preview was actually careful this time to only show Jas & Jag/Kyland & Taylor.

Also surprised at the lack of Detour or other task to fill out the leg, it could have used another task. The Roadblock was good, and the Scramble being right before the Pit Stop was good for suspense. The Scramble works best when teams take different routes, so I was glad to see that happen here.

Paige has always had the right temperament throughout the race. When teams are able to understand the past is the past and you can only control the present, they are more focused and prepared for what lies ahead.

I screamed "the pendulum!" as soon as they showed the interior of the museum, remembering that exact moment.

Did exactly the same.

Surprisingly, I quite enjoyed this leg. We had a series of iconic Parisian sites visited, a solid Roadblock involving attention to detail, the can-can dancing making its appearance, and although I don't really count this as a Scramble since it doesn't involve going to different tasks, the active Route Info and seeing different teams' navigation strategies to find the three Statues of Liberty spread across the city was fairly done. Not a fan of cutting off the final elimination with a cliffhanger into the finale.

Something I have to say is did the Detour go on vacation? :funny:

My favorite judges of the season award goes to the Braille teachers. :2hearts: A round of cafe creme on me to them.

Hilarious to see the Musée des Arts et Métiers as an official Route Marker. For those of you old enough or dedicated enough to remember, that location was the ultimate downfall of Pat & Brenda back in SEASON 1. They traveled there to find Focault's Pendulum, although the correct one was located at the Panthéon instead. This episode even featured a shot of the pendulum as an establishing shot. I wonder if it was intentional.

OMG! I just saw Cookie Monster on the preview of the finale. I think the final three teams are racing to Kaufman Astoria Studios where Sesame Street is filmed.
