I always liked reading these, but haven't seen any for the finale yet. Guess I'll start.Clap New Final Destination city. Or at least Washington D.C. being a final city of any Amazing Race was new to me.
Clap I liked the whole thing with the "I Have A Dream" clue, particularly the person who came over as teams were getting there giving them a nice bit of history.
No Comment With the various bits of famous US history in this race (Vietnam, JFK, Reagan, MLK, etc), I'm surprised that the final memory task didn't have something to do with that.
Clap The entire Tray It portion of the detour. Great TV. Much better to watch than Spray It.
No Comment I've been to that area of Washington D.C. and several of those locations are within a couple of miles of each other. I would have liked to have seen the racers be forced to travel on foot at least once between destinations, so that taxi lottery doesn't overly control a team's fate.
Slap If you can't swap letters in Font Follies once you pick them up in Germany without starting over, you shouldn't be able to swap the server/preparer jobs for Tray It in Ireland without starting over.
SLAP A search task based on pure luck on the final leg? Ugh. I did like the switchback, but it was far too arbitrary for a final leg.
Wishful Thinking I hope in one race, the racers start out the final leg having to hand over all of their possessions and notes, except their money. Everybody keeps notes now. Part of the fun of the final legs were watching teams trying to remember stuff.
