In general the leg wasn't entertaining at all .. I was done from amazing race canada like 2 weeks ago and legs were designed in a much better way than this one! Anyways hopefully things will get better as season progresses.

This episode had something similar to Amazing Race Canada - wading in garbage!

And tango!

The edit is definitely something needing to get used to. Denise & James Earl are my absolute favourite right now! Great energy and attitude!

Justin is definitely getting the villain edit because everyone is nice. Kelly & Shevonne prolly were the originally slated villains, they just couldn't back it up with a good performance. I am interested to see if the other teams share Tanner & Josh's view of them, or if it had more to do with the fact that they're a threat to Team Texas.

Gamerfan09 mentioned something about the secret scenes and mentioned that the 2nd-4th place teams (Tanner & Josh, Denise & James Earl and Logan & Chris) of the 2nd leg want Justin & Diana out. I get Marie (of Tim & Marie) and Jim (of Misti & Jim) vibes from Justin based on the edit.

This is a good sign for Tiffany & Krista if Justin & Diana get a bad edit and Tanner & Josh have a strained hamstring.  Of course, I don't know how far Justin & Diana or Tanner & Josh will go.

I would be amazed to see how Tanner & Josh perform with Tanner's injury. Amy (of Amy & Maya) from Season 25 had a leg injury but kept on going and definitely won, Amy did not want to quit and let her injury hinder them from the Race. I don't want Tanner & Josh going out a la Dave & Connor sometime in the Race.  Hoping that they make the finals along with Tiffany & Krista and Denise & James Earl.

After rewatching the episode, I actually think it's not that bad. It wasn't as underwhelming as the 1st episode.

Ernest & Jin at the airport: I love it! :funny: It was actually memorable for the episode. :)

Justin seems to be getting the annoying edit, but I'll see how this will turn out.

There were shuffles in placement this leg, but Justin & Diana constantly stayed on top for the whole leg. It shows that they're really strong, but they just made a big mistake last leg. Imagine if they were eliminated on the 1st leg. :stare

The detour was actually good in my opinion. It's a choice between looking for garbage and delivering something.
The roadblock was nice too. I never saw tilted tango before the episode, and I know the task is not that easy.

Editing was better compared to the 1st episode. Each team got a good amount of screentime. Also, drama is starting to show between Justin and the Beefcakes. :lol:

Alex & Adam were just unlucky. :( They left the church in 4th, but arrived at the detour somewhere at the back of the pack. Furthermore, they fell behind while going to the pit stop. I could see so much potential in them, such as winning a leg, too bad it wasn't a NEL. :( I'd want to see more of them for an all-star season, but I know they don't let 10th place teams return. :( They remind me of Amy & Daniel from TAR21; they had so much potential too. :( I just wished Alex & Adam got the NEL.

Still Canadians were better at it :snics: till now. the majority of the Canadian episodes were very exciting to watch with very unpredictable outcome while American is not as much.  :nana

Justin and Diana didn't really get an evil edit but more like Justin is incapable of shutting the bleep up. If your mentally ill, you can be sure the editors will use this to their advantage and that's the case of Justin. he started crying cz they made a wrong decision on the first leg, I mean what the hell.

*says showcases Edmonton on a national stage* *goes to a gas station and a dump* *shows irrelevant tasks to the culture of the area*

Sure TARCAN is definitely better!!!

US TAR can be hated on all we want, at least we're not stuck in the home country 75% of the time with mainly irrelevant first-world tasks  :<3

No way The Amazing race US is awesome and I used to enjoy it way more in past seasons but I am only comparing this season (27) to Canada's latest season and so far Canada's was better in my opinion. Seriously Americans can't handle hearing that Canada is doing a better job at anything they will lose it  :funny: Anyways let's see maybe this season will get better.

Reviewing eps 2...

I think this leg was not bad at all, it was such a big improvement from the premiere, I loved the cartons detour side and the RB while the delivering statue is kinda boring but balance with the other side...

With the rivalries between #team texas and Justin seemed delivered and I can't wait for rest of their rivalries...

Argentina itself deliver some good legs and had never visited since 20, so kudos for that...

Editing was (still) poor but as stated, improved from the premiere....

Ernest and Jin at the airport tbh <3 and Alex and Adam   :(

If only Amy & Daniel and Dennis & Isabelle made it further in Season 21 & 25 respectively, 2 very likable teams that had potential and got booted very early. Alex & Adam now join them. :'(.  I just realized that all the seasons mentioned by gamerfan, those that placed 10th were beaten racing to the pitstop.

I don't understand the hate for Justin...I actually think he's a very emotional guy and is excited and overwhelmed that he's on the Amazing Race and can't quite keep that in...I don't like #TeamTexas for hating on them...#ILoveJustin!!

I just realized that one thing that made me like the episode was a 3-way race for last to the pit stop. I remember TAR22's Botswana 2, and 3 teams were fighting for last that time. The suspense was better because I don't just guess between 2 teams, I have 3 teams to guess from. :)

And the exciting part was that the order of the teams DID change, meaning the suspense wasn't fake... which is why I'm glad they didn't show Alex & Adam's taxi get lost. Normally, when we see 2 teams racing to the Pit Stop, we see them arrive to the Pit Stop in the same order they left the last task.

I actually thought this episode was really good? Both tasks were something we haven't seen before even if they weren't overly amazing. The teams really made it better with footrace. Denise was such a bundle of joy running to the pitstop :lol:

Ernest & Jin are also really fun to watch! I'm just waiting for Logan & Chris to explode its gonna happen :lol:

I hope the next episode isn't full of Justin saying "gracias mi amigo" I've heard enough of that to last a lifetime!!

All the teams are delivering but hope we get to see more of Kelsey/Joey, Chacattack & Logan/Chris in the future, they're a little under-edited.

But overall this episode wasn't as bad as reading this thread made it out to be!
