The Amazing Race Finland

I remember watching The Amazing Race as a teen ager and I believe that the TV-series has inspired me to travel and live abroad. Now about 20 years later the first Amazing Race Finland is aired. It has been entertaining to watch the Finnish show and witness the couples competing in diffrent countries. The tasks give nice insights to the local cultures and traditions. In the Finnish show the competitors have been strugling the most with the music related tasks. I would like to see transitions between the tasks being travelled more often by public transportation like local bus lines, metro or train. I feel like travelling by taxi is giving easy way out to the next destination. The competition also makes you speak to the locals in order to progress fast in the race. Though the interaction is very short as competitors want to advance fast to their next destination. As the Finnish competition is approaching to the end I feel like the physically strongest couples have been able reach the top positions.
