1. Did you like the final leg?Yup!
2. Are you happy with Colin and Christie victory?YES VERY MUCH! After Nicole & Victor were eliminated, I was just hoping Colin & Christie could pull it off!
3. Did they deserve it?Ugh, hell yeah!
4. Now that it's over, how do qualify the whole season?If the question is "good or bad", it's definitely a good season. But I don't think it qualifies as one of the iconic seasons for me (ala seasons 5, 10, 18, 25, 28)
5. It was what you expected before it started?I always lower my expectations so I wouldn't get THAT grumpy hahaha. This really applies for season premieres and finales. But Leg 12 was actually intense to watch with Tyler & Korey and Colin & Christie almost neck and neck all the time!
6. Which was the best leg for you?Most likely Leg 2 in Laos! I love a language task, lots of shuffling, surprise U-Turn on the second leg that gets drama kick-started, amazing locales, great editing, all good hallmarks of a great TAR episode
7. And the worst (or the one that wasn't as good as the others)?I'm gonna say the Japan leg. Tasks were not inspired.
8. Which moment was your favourite of the season?The U-Turn vote in Switzerland 2! Much drama, much hype and it definitely delivered! Also, the Seven Nation Army task in Detroit! (I LOVE the cover in the episode)
9. Which one made you feel sad?Chris & Bret's fall from grace in Croatia. And having to root for either Colin & Christie or Nicole & Victor to get third place in England
10. Which one was the funniest? Bret the Elephant (and that Elephant task in general), Victor's side-eyes in Switzerland 1
11. Which moment was the most dramatic?The tension in the air in Switzerland 1 with the supposed U-Turn plans, Nicole & Victor at the Cow hoisting detour in the Netherlands, and the drum assembly task in the finale.
12. And which one surprised/shocked you?I was surprised they brought on the U-Turn vote! But I should have expected it since we have teams from elimination-via-voting shows.
13. Which team exceeded your expectations?Definitely Nicole & Victor! At the start I thought they would go more of the Jordan & Jeff route in Season 16, but no! They are actually really good and were the first non-TAR team to really get the hang of the Race. Also shout out to Chris & Bret for being a surprise favorite of mine, as well as Colin & Christie for being very evolved from their TAR 5 appearances. Those there are my fave teams of TAR 31!
14. And what team didn't fulfilled them?Well, Rachel & Elissa went far but their performance went down after Leg 3 :/ Also Corrine & Eliza, I thought they'd be my favorite team from Survivor, but nothing really came to fruition.
15. Finally, who was/were the MVP of the season? Why?Colin & Christie definitely. Consistent standings (another team to not fall lower than 4th place). Probably the 2nd best placement of a U-Turned team (after Bill & Cathi, of all people). Tied with Tyler & Korey for the most career leg wins (at 9). And their Heel-Face turn from season 5 to 31
