I was so disappointed we didn’t get the usual last leg challenge that requires the racers to remember elements of their journey (though I was fearful Brenchel would have taken copious notes and would ace that kind of challenge). Instead, the last leg was entirely dependent on who had the best taxi driver. Quite a letdown–the show is always at its weakest when taxis control the outcome instead a of racing skills. It seemed the producers were more concerned with having a spectacle at the end than with having a competitive leg. I hope this approach and the move to Friday night next season don’t signal a watering down of the show, though it will be nice for it to start at a predictable time from now on…
