Finally got around to watching these 2 episodes. I'm glad to see I was not the only one who was not really feeling it for the 1st episode, as I found myself tuning out at times.
I thought the 2nd episode was an improvement, once teams from both countries no longer had the home field advantage. This was where the meat and potatoes of the race really begins, sort of speak.
It will take some getting used to Grant being his reserved self again with Aussie accent, after seeing him attempt an American accent for 1 season of "Defiance", and actually show a lot more emotion and literally kick some ass in that show. Speaking of which, time to change my avatar.
So happy to see John & Murray not win the leg. I have no problem with them being the lone wolf of the race, but the way they just gave up on the Roadblock without trying it, just really rubbed me the wrong way. Now, they have that other Express Pass to give away. Next leg should tell if they are all bark, and hardly any bite.
Have to give credit to the feisty friends, afraid of the spiders, but still going through the challenge. Even after picking up a live one by mistake.
Nice to see Cambodia, and Angkor Wat. I am actually thinking visiting there later this year.
So far, the only team that I like, are the nurses and the moms. And I am starting not to like John & Murray, and I guess Ashleigh & Jarrod are going to be the villains of this season. Everyone else, it's still too early to tell.
