"TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-14-15 at 12:50 PM
I am busy cleaning out my cabin for sale, so while I can watch the race the lack of internet means I will not be posting the fine leg,

Is there anyone else who can do it?

I had to come back for the cabin because I forgot to pack my extra Insulin. My injector was about to run out and I had come back for more.

SO I will try to write the final leg tonight.

Reviewing the race, I had to laugh at the nurse once again.

Hayley is hosting a watch party in St. Pete tonight with several of the other racers from this season and a couple of others. Wonder how she feels about how she is being perceived.

I am sure she does not like how she is shown, but there is no way they could get so many shots of her mouthing off if she did not do that all the time.

The real question is will her friends tell her the truth, or tell her what she wants to hear.

Teams go to Dallas Texas, Phil said he will eliminate a team in the middle of the leg.

And can that nurse ever shut up?

Go to AT&T Stadium.

Road block, Marching band, Cheerleaders and the people have to get playbook from 300 feet up then catch a touch-down pass. Then kick a field goal.

The taxi driver of the first team out does not know where to go! So they ask him the follow the taxi of the second team.

That team told their driver not to help the first driver and to lose him is possible.

Truckstop's taxi did not wait for them, so since they left the stadium in third place they ended up in last place.

Teams have to herd long horn cattle.

Team Truckstop's new taxi is running out of gas and has to go back for some.

They don't get a break.

Would have preferred Team Truckstop over Hayley. Blair is okay but she is just annoying.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"

And wrong more times than she wants to admit.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"

On top of that, team Truckstop really seemed to enjoy doing so many new things.

Ridding a horse thru a water filled ditch, causes a spill.

Go to Geo-Tower. look for the clue then rappel down.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:30 PM
And the nurse is looking at the wrong place!
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:33 PM
Other teams just arrive as the lead team is getting in their taxi, they think they are behind because they don't know the nurse id the wrong place.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"

Karma - Hayley didn't want their taxi driver to help the other team but then she says we'll go back and follow the other teams.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:38 PM
And now the nurse is having a fit as her directions are just mess, meanwhile the other teams have found the clue.

But one of the two teams still get lose on the way to the clue!

HA! The One Time Blair HAS TO LISTEN To Her And HAYLEY SCREWS IT UP! ::Laughs euphorically as karma strikes::

Teams must drive a monster truck. And loving it!
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"

Great finish! Very happy they won.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:41 PM
Teams must now remember where they had been!

Meanwhile the nurse finally saw the flag that are the next clue.

"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:43 PM
The order of the locations (leg number) is the combination to open a lock.

Inside are a set of selfies that the teams must identify the locations they were taken at.

"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:49 PM
Interestingly, the route is already shown to the racers, it is the selfies that must be in order.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 08:51 PM
Drive the monster truck for the last clue, that points to the pitstop.

And they get another taxi driver that does not know where to go.

And another team is begging their taxi to drive faster.

All the final three are "dating" couples, I think regular couples too much baggage.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"

I think Blair deserves a special award for having to listen to Hayley screaming at him for the entire race.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 05-15-15 at 09:48 PM
And not killing her either!
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by featherfish81 on 05-16-15 at 08:27 PM
It also didn't hurt that all of the dating couples were young and fit. While some of the previous couples were, the odds were good that at least some dating couples would make it to the finale.

I thought that that was one of the best finales we've ever had. Didn't really hate any of them, even Hailey, but was gratified when Hailey was the one who screwed up and lost them the Mill.

Sorry to see truck driver/roller derby go, but Laura and friend were worthy winners.

"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by featherfish81 on 05-16-15 at 08:35 PM
I agree, I liked all of the final teams. I wouldn't have minded if Haley and Blair won, but I'm glad (and I'm sure Blair is too) that the mistake was hers and not his. Can you imagine if it had been his mistake? As it was she tried to blame him for not being able to give better directions to a place he didn't know.
"RE: TAR 26 The Grand Finlale"
Posted by IanQuentin on 05-17-15 at 07:36 AM
She would not have been NEARLY as gracious to him as he was to her about the mistake they made that cost them the million dollars.

I wish TruckStopLove won, but Laura/Tyler were worthy winners of the race. Jenny/Jelani would have been too. I was hoping for a foot race given how close they looked leaving the monster trucks.

Bet Jenny/Jelani are sick after watching this and seeing that their cab driver cost them a million dollars by helping the other cab.
