Not sure about the cast at this point, hopefully they have more mental challenges on this. Sick of hearing people say they represent some group when they are actually just representing themselves on this race. Hopefully all the stuff about them being amazing heroes has been done with after these introductions.
The ending was close which was good, and there were a couple of tasks that led to place changes. It was a slight worry at the start when a team had to catch a second ferry but that didn't turn out to ruin the leg.

Second leg was better, tasks were more of a mental challenge. But three express passes? I'd hoped that we'd moved on from giving out loads of these by now, three teams now have an easy get out if they struggle in a task.

I thought this second episode was very enjoyable! Martina was still the star for me, with her charitable giving away of her backpack and her dealing blackjack in a made up accent for reasons I still don't entirely understand But a lot of the other teams that I wasn't so hot on in the premiere were fun too! I enjoyed Courtney and Adam the whole way through and Taylor and Courtney were fun during the can-can, and even for OTTP frontrunners I found Todd and Anna to have a lot of value??? It was a fun episode, even though I am alarmed by how many people struggled to add up single digit numbers during blackjack.

Enjoyed episode 3! The speed bump looked too easy though
2 of the 3 M/M teams being gone already And the best M/M team still left in, I'm more than happy!

Perched for an international leg next episode, hope the Blind Double U-Turn causes drama

The knots part was easily the best I thought. A detour would have been nice, but I was happy the express passes were used up (plus it meant we didn't have to see even more vomiting). The racing roadblock could have been good, but it looked like they could go relatively slow and still make the time limit.

lmfao I'm laughing uncontrollably at Akash just walking out of the Roadblock because "he needs to talk to Joseph"
they are definitely lovers right? Their relationship definitely seems like more than just friends iykwim

Honestly though that leg design was kind of terrible. Bunching the teams up at the airport, separating them based on who got a taxi first, bunching them again at the ferry, having the first Roadblock be so easy that it really just came down to how quickly you arrived there... like the only thing that mattered was the second Roadblock
Also, "eat two blueberry pies" surely has to be one of the least inspired things this franchise has ever done. Thank god for Martina's violent dry-heaving

That was a fun episode and I was *shocked* by the boot and kinda sad about it? Like Todd and Anna were definitely cast as a sob story but for whatever reason I found them a lot more humanized and real than I expected, and I also thought they'd be a lock for like top 5 or 6 at worst.
I'm sick of U-Turns before the Detour though this one wasn't that bad since there were a few Route Markers beforehand but still

Leanne/Mar Mar especially you can tell is a genuinely good person and I want to see her succeed.
I'm also developing a crush on Taylor :3

Aaaaand another episode. This season, and this franchise, is just so stale because we don't even really get to know the teams. Every confessional is just so basic. "We are currently in last place," "I am going to rock this Roadblock," "we don't know where we're going and this could cost us the race," these are all nothing statements coming from nothing teams. TARCan's always had this problem but between last year and this year it's gotten out of hand.
And also these Route Markers ****ing blow. Pack up a **** ton of bread Pack up a bunch of candy and taffy Another genre of dancing My god, next week in particular looks like an abomination between a ballet dancing challenge, making balloon animals (), and a darts Face Off. This is like the G-rated Amazing Race.

It does look cheap at times, the tasks and locations not that special this episode. Two teams always stood out as more different in this season, the shouting men and the excitable woman. Canadian BB and this seem to have some bland people on it, and the heroes concept was never the best. I liked Anna but I couldn't relate to Todd as well, though he seemed nice, with all the reconstructive surgery on his face it was hard to gauge his expressions sometimes.
