Leg 3
I guess we have a new leg 3 curse. :lol: I wasn't sure what to think when watching the episode live, but after rewatching this was definitely the weakest of the 3 legs. It didn't feel as fun as leg 2 or as competitive as leg 1. When you compare this leg to the TAR 29 Dar es Salam, TARUS did it much better despite both having a mid-leg ferry. When the show incorporates this type of leg design, you have to have either a very hard task or really great teams. TAR 29 had both. TARC's RBs weren't as hard as the ladle task and the teams aren't standouts so far. I like them all but I only have a couple of standouts, so that weakens the episode.
Joseph & Akash get lost while driving to the airport on literally one road. :funny:
Wild boar Martina :funny:
Martina naming dogs after cars. :funny:
"Yelling my name doesn't make the mat any closer." :funny:
Martina is the absolute best this season Show content
and she'll get the sewing task that she wanted
Salt: Seemed hard when described but Z/M made it look easy.
Pie: Always like when teams have to eat a large amount of food. Can understand why 2 EPs were used.
Fairy Door: Nice location, but not much to say.
Corvette: This task and the ferry killed the momentum of the leg. Really easy aside from Courtney's mistake, and it doesn't help that only one team could do it at at time.
Knot: Better RB, but Akash was really the only person who struggled to the point of dropping his team's placement significantly.
Hoping that the Blind Double U-Turn shakes things up and the fact that it's blind will make teams less afraid to use it due to their hero status. International legs usually deliver & we're getting an underused city in Jakarta.
