The Salvage Pass is kinda lame! (:;) (:;) (:;)

Dad & daughter should have taken the 1-hour head start for the next leg instead of saving the Italian sisters as, from the looks of it the sisters are one of the weaker teams & may not survive the next leg but, airports being the GREAT equalizer, may neutralize that 1-hour lead! :duno:
The sisters and the alpha males should have been penalized for using locals to build their rafts BUT seeing that BOTH teams are at fault, and being the last 2 teams, then the penalties for both teams are just a formality. However, the producers should penalize both teams to tell the world that it's a NO-NO to get outside help...
And what a slap on Paul's face with that I'm the best racer stuff BUT was unable to build a simple raft! Here's hoping that they'll get eliminated soon... :tup:

Very good first episode. Unfortunately the rip I downloaded missed a part of the show before the detour, but it had most of it.
Happy to see in the intro the presenter say they 'could be eliminated' at pitstops, rather than 'will be'. We know there are non-elimination legs so it annoys me when Phil always says 'will be eliminated'.
The car maze was a good idea, the eating task less so but it was edited well, the detour was ok particularly with the pigs. The best part was the raft challege though. I liked the initiative to use local help and I really wish that had saved them from last place, so that annoyed me.
The salvage pass isn't a bad idea, though I felt it was likely to make it a non-elimination unless the winning team disliked the team last for some reason. A one hour head start will probably crumble away because of bunching at some point in many legs.

They showed great initiative getting local help, and nothing said they couldn't use help. I wish that had stopped them getting last place but obviously they weren't strong enough to paddle against the other team.
If you are saving someone better to use it to help a weaker team than a strong one. And a one hour head start isn't that much.

I haven't seen that much of TARA yet, but from what I have seen I definitely think this version is different and more professionaly done. So I'm not sure about that comparison.
