Other than being robbed of at least 55 more minutes of Jia Jia, was anyone else surprised at how high quality this episode was? China Rush has never been, well, TAR: Vietnam levels, but they never really seemed to have quite compelling teams/tasks of other TAR franchises ... teams were kinda cookie-cutter, there was little humor/drama, and the tasks were just an endless series of tasks that seem to be part of a graduate-level Chinese anthropology course. On the other hand, this batch of teams seems to have a few stand-outs and the tasks weren't all that bad ...
