I thought a Double Roadblock was the norm in leg 1.

Not always. It depends on what else is planned during the season. But the finish order was determined by the arrival order at the Roadblock, as it turns out. However, quite a few teams didn't handle finding the three wedding dress shops task very well, and then the Canton Tower task scrambled team order up a little more.

The Cowboys, to their credit, continue to show an ability to complete tasks quickly. What they seem to have improved upon is getting directions as they knew to take the metro to the first clue, and arrived before the three other teams on the first flight, And knowing they knew where they had to go for the wedding dress shop task, they kust let those teams pass them by and went on their way. Very smart gameplay.

Twinniegoddesses :( A disastrous start to a disastrous season.

Those twins...they trainwrecked pretty hard that leg with all of the arguing. I was glad to see that the Afghanimals ditched them (it definitely worked in their favor).



And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that felt that the leg was "rushed" in a way. I was expecting that Roadblock to be harder than it was. And the Cowboys won the 2 EPs...I just can't handle this (although I did know this from the spoilers). If we're lucky, it gets burned at a U-Turn (as in, they're on the receiving end of one).

I was also surprised to see that Meghan and Jessica actually spoke that leg, considering that they were just "there" on S22.

When compared to last season's premiere, this leg really didn't "click" for me. It's not the best first leg, but it's definitely on one of my top ten least favorite.

GonzaloChileno:
John/Jessica & Caroline/Jennifer were not shown performing the Roadblock, right? (altough it was John and Jennifer the ones who completed it, because their partners were at the waiting area) This leg had a really weird editing, some teams got literally no airtime (gladly one of them was the Globetrotters).

I was not sad at all with Natalie & Nadiya's eliminations, they were extremely annoying in this leg.

I would say if we know which team member was watching the other perform the roadblock, then we know who performed the roadblock.
