CBS, can you give me the job of proofreading TAR episodes before they air, pretty please? I won't give out any spoilers, I promise. (I happened to catch the map animation showing teams going to Miami, "Flordia"- funny, though not as bad as the one time they marked Paris as being in Spain).
Did all teams get upgraded to business or was it just Carson & Jack?
I liked seeing a multi-part cryptic clue to spice up the finale leg. Little Havana is a good enclave to visit especially since we're unlikely to ever see TARUS visit Cuba.
Minor complaint: I like sports as much as the next guy, but it feels like we're seeing professional sports venues on the final leg too frequently- in fact, there's been one visited on 6 of the last 9 finales. It fits seamlessly when it's a more iconic venue such as the Rose Bowl or Wrigley Field, but less so when it's a park belonging to a team in the bottom two of both attendance and spending in the MLB. That said, I understand the desire to have an indoor venue for a Finish Line when there's afternoon rain in the forecast.
Congrats to Carson & Jack, they showed a lot of strength and resiliency during the race.
Huge thank you to Rachel for doing these updates every week!
(even though I'm a day late, I always read through them)
I believe ppl here have already known, but the finish line was initially held at Kampong Botanical Garden, but the storm and flood forced the crews to move to the stadium at the last minute. I assume it's easier to get the permit to film the finish line there in that time constraint.
