Mug Costanza:
TAR19 got off on the wrong foot with me, because I felt that they completely mismanaged how to deal with the Hazard penalty and Leg 1 in general. "Oh here, we're gonna give you a penalty that could get you eliminated. But surprise, it's a non-elimination leg!" If I was a TAR producer, here's how I would've handled the first few legs of TAR19:
Leg 1: Hazard penalty for the last team to finish the Starting Line task. Last team to arrive at the Pit Stop is eliminated. (The whole point of the Hazard was to make a team have to fight even harder to stave off elimination. Having a Leg 1 NEL completely ruined that.)
Leg 2: NEL
Leg 3: Double Elimination (The Roadblock at Borobodur was confusing enough to cause teams to be eliminated.)

I think the single u-turn has to be considered a failed concept, every team has got eliminated which doesn't exactly supply suspense.

At least Eric & Lisa knew they would be eliminated and it was their own fault for being last. Bilal & Sa'eed just got screwed by a taxi driver (How do you live in Beijing and not know what the Forbidden City is!?!?). If the midleg elimination got rid of the Chos instead, then I'd change my mind about it because it would have made the season so much better.

That right there needs the Muslim test. You've gotta either like the idea or hate the idea. I can't (for example) say I hate the idea of the Speed Bump because it had a hand in knocking out Kynt and Vyxsin instead of Ronald and Christina.

Having exclusively luck-based challenges as the starting line task. (Sure, there's always something to disguise it as an observation task, but really.)
