I didn't really have any thoughts about this leg posted because I was updating a bit haphazardly today and had to rewatch the episode to get what I missed... :lol:

Sorry everyone.

But basically, I really enjoyed the leg! It's kinda funny how some of the legs in the late-game, despite the route not being as good as the first half, ended up even better designed than the first few legs we did have.

The Detour was amazing, the Roadblock was fun (but arguably not Chinese... could have worked as a good Finale memory task IMO), and despite some location issues (a clue at the airport and a Library as a Pit Stop? Really?), this was probably my favorite Final Four leg (best since Northern Ireland on TAR22) despite the awful elimination lol.

Sheri & Cole are just <33333333

I have never been a big fan of Burnie & Ashley but this leg and beginning Indonesia, I understood all the love and I'll actually miss them now :lol: </3

Dana & Matt were pretty stank this ep. I didn't like Dana being evil because Dana has been fun-to-hate evil (Dubai is a shining example) but this wasn't it lol.

Tyler & Korey..... eh. The less said the better.

Can't wait for the finale, hopefully it's well-designed! :tup:

Very possible this leg was a last minute change.

If that was the case, I'm glad the roadblock and the detour were amazing!

Actually not.
A person who designed this leg told me they started to prepared this leg in late November.
I personally think the weird locations may be relevant to the Shenzhen Marathon held in that day. The designer may not notice marathon location in advance and change the pitstop in the last minute.

Oh thank you!! There were some concerns about this at the time based on production stuff. Glad to hear it!

I loved this leg  :luvya: :luvya: Probably the best penultimate leg since season.... i don't know :D
The roadblock was cool, i'd love to do that challenge. The detour was good. But the best part was the tension and drama between Burnie & Tyler/Dana. And the editing was awesome especially when the 3rd team arrive at the mat, but so sad Burnie and Ashley eliminated  :(

Why does everyone hate Tyler & Korey!

I mean they might not be your type which is fine but the hate towards them is a bit un called for, they deserve to be there as much as the others. And the laugh, seriously... It's his laugh

+1

I also don't understand the hate. i mean, they proved themselves to be strong competitor. Before this season started, i honestly thought they would be eliminated before the 5th leg, but they surprised me winning many legs and now they are in the F3. And about the laugh, i think it's just the way he laugh. Maybe many people don't like him, but he's not annoying like Joey or Justin  :funny:

I don't mind who will win, but based on the edit, there's no way Matt and Dana win. Brain: Tyler & Korey, but my heart said Sheri & Cole will win it  :)

More like they're annoying af.

That's interesting, we're going back to the juvenile excuse of I don't like the voice over a positive, energetic team who play a strong and smart race.

I'm perfectly fine with other opinions of how people view the teams, you can like them or not. In all honesty though, I just don't believe finding a particular team annoying should be a reason to dislike them, unless they do something detrimental to other teams or anything penalty inducing/getting an unfair advantage. If it's just a team that bothers one, it would seem better to be neutral in that regard.

That brought me to an interesting question, where was the originally planned Pit Stop? :o

Okay, the editors totally discounted the presence of Matt and Dana because their appearance in the finale preview is like non-existent.

Other than that, I think they're trying to push for a "YAY LET'S WATCH THE FINALE FOR A SHERI AND COLE WIN" but totally it is Tyler and Korey winning -_-

If Tyler & Korey were really the winners, why were they worried about hurrying up? Seemed like an implication they were behind.

You contradict yourself in this. Finding a team annoying is probably the most legitimate reason to dislike them

From a biased perspective? Of course. And nah, didn't contradict myself, but thanks for trying.

They didn't annoy me. It's just neutral though.

well personally I don't get hate over Tyler/Korey... but I kinda annoyed that the production centered them in whole leg and they got most of the screentime like wtf seem they are entertaining and rests are not :res:...

but over that bitching, I (really do) admit they are most strategic and smart team this season and kinda aadditional value to them... criticizing them for being evil (especially in last leg) is normal... but as long as not breaking the rules I think it's fine (it's straregy though rather than personal hate imo)

I find Tyler & Korey's villainy to Burnie & Ashley dislikable, but they are overall a very entertaining team. I have mixed opinions for this team, so I wouldn't mind seeing them race again, but I do not want them to win.

This season has one of the best F7 ever. <333

Every team is memorable in their own ways. The only team who got cut and forgotten by the edit is probably only Zach and Rachel. :(

The odds are for Tyler & Korey winning. Matt & Dana will probably get a close second or a distant third. Since the leg looks very physical, I think Sheri & Cole might stand a chance of at least beating Matt & Dana. The one thing that might propel Sheri & Cole to first is if the other teams get frustrated and melt down or panic.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Sheri and Cole were really lucky to hear the music from the pit-stop then! If they had passed it at first, it's almost guaranteed Burnie & Ashley would've checked in 3rd.
