Yay, this time of the year hahaha
This season was sooooo much better than last year, mostly because of casting!
I was scared with the theme this year but it turned out great.
Teams: 9/10
I think all 10 teams had the potential for greatness. Beside Chewy/Happy, we got to see a good amount of airtime for each teams. They all had great personalities and no one felt like 'filler' (maybe beside Zainab & Monica who we didn't see as much as the other teams).
I could see the whole final 6 coming back for an All Star + Todd/Anna for a second chance type of thing.
Route: 7/10
The route was not the best IMO, but it was ok! Sucks we only had 2 international legs, hope it goes up for next season.
Great location: Dawson City, Indonesia, Mexico, Fredericton, Banff
Ok: Squamish, Salt Spring Island, Stratford, Winnipeg, PEI
Meh: Toronto
As for Winnipeg and PEI, both were over due, but I'm a bit disappointed that they stayed in Winnipeg and the same side of PEI. They could have done the task in Charlottetown and then visit another part of the Island, but it was the same general area as season 2. Toronto was meh, I mean the leg was ok, but all of the tasks could have been done in another 'big city' that has not been visited yet, like Windsor or London. I get that production is based in T.O, so it's more convenient for them.
Tasks: 7/10
I thought there was too many dancing options (CanCan, Indonesian dance, Winnipeg ballet, vogue).
Tasks that were memorable by legs:
- Beaver jumping task
- Dance CanCan / GPS Goldcoin task
- Blueberry Pie / Fairy Doors / Eagle knot
- Indonesian hand dance / snake and leeches
- Nothing really from the Stratford leg.
- Vogue dance
- Magic Tricks
- Mouse statues / Zombie Paintball
- Telenova task / the sport roadblock (Jai High?)
- Simulator task
- Final memory challenge
Overall I would rate this season 8/10
Season ranking 2-1-4-6 (gap) 5 (huge gap) 3
