I liked Joe and Ian early on, but I think I'm shifting my faves right now to Greg and John.

Also the colour-coding is really blatant this season, huh.

Weirdly enough google says it takes a bit longer to get to the pit stop from the park too. So 5 minutes, if you do it right. I think they were expecting a lot more people to stop the massage and eat time that way.

If they weren't split into two plane groups you'd see a lot more people doing swords.

Not sure if it's lucky or just cool to have a detour literally made for a team to crush. Asian grocery store owners having to get groceries in an Asian market? :lol:

I mean there was no guarantee they'd speak the language either, it just so happened that half of one team did (and it wasn't even the exact same dialect).

I think the team that's quietly surprising me is Greg and John, I didn't pay much attention to them early on but I think right now they're my favourites.

...I don't want to say a team doesn't deserve first place, because they worked for it, but that was one of the last teams I would have ever expected to win a leg.

I think they're just trying to make this season harder; between the lotus roadblock, the detours last week, and then more physical exertion + the roadblock this week, probably to shut up the people who were saying the last few seasons were too easy.

I believe this is the first time a black M/M team has won back to back legs, let alone pull off a hat trick.

People being so mad at Anna Leigh is funny.

She's incredibly tame compared to like Rachel or Mirna or Brooke.

Greg and John telling Rob and Corey about the power cords could have been a game ending move right there. Good that they bounced back so well.

Also I feel like I'm on crazy pills because people kept saying Corey was hot but I found Greg (and Rob) more attractive.

Trivia: this is the first lesbian couple to survive a leg in 20 seasons.

I think she had several specific things to look for from the teams. And half the challenge being some teams trying to make it perfect and others not giving a poo poo. Although it's also possible & likely that the producers changed the strictness with how hot it was and so many teams literally sweating the makeup off.

She docked a couple teams for not having the yellow in the teeth area but you could see the last two teams getting a pass with white teeth.

No switching was in reference to the water taxis, you can't switch your boat (which is why mom/son were stuck waiting for their boat to start again).

I've seen some people online complaining that Ricky and Cesar have an unfair advantage because so many legs are set in Latin America and they can speak Spanish.

While choosing to ignore that half the teams have someone who can speak Spanish and there are even a couple other native speakers in there.

Remember that this season still had covid constraints. S35 (which was filmed after) already had a bigger spread of locations.

Well, considering it's been like a year since the show and they're engaged now...
