I think hybrid teams are great, we've just had one dysfunctional one and one despicable one, so they just need to be more selective...

Eric & Danielle somewhat worked because at least they knew each other. Mallory didn't even know Mark's last name. The race is hard enough as it is, I don't think racers need to add the difficulty of having to learn how to deal with their teammates (leave that to the dating teams that want to see if they're fit for marriage), take TAR17's Andie & Jenna as an example, they just couldn't hit their stride because they had just recently met.

Yeah they knew each other but Danielle deserved no place on All-Stars TBH. Mark & Mallory could have worked given time, but we only got two legs. :(
Dånooky:
And on a personal note, I prefer watching teams whose bond is strong, like Zev & Justin's friendship, the Twinnies' quirky way of insulting each other to keep going, Ken & Tina's rekindled romance, Tim & Marie's weird relationship.

I think if Meghan didn't help John, John & Jessica would be the one got eliminated and complain how they are at the mental challenges or If Mark just left his bag, Joey & Meghan would be the one got eliminated and Meghan would kill herself for making that stupid move. Either way, far more interesting resulf than this.
alecbaldwin:
Tim & Marie's relationship remind me of Jack Donaghy & Liz Lemon's relationship, They really understand and care each other but they don't really fond to each other and keep bugging each other. That's interesting to watch so it isn't that weird.

LEG 2 (China) EPISODE ANALYSIS:
We've seen teams' emotional ups and downs, hackysacks left and right, and John bumping directly into a cameraman. However, we did not see the intro. What's up with that? I felt this Leg was better than the premiere, but I realized what HD seasons have lacked in editing that made the Race less motivational over the years... screentime. It's not as fast-paced and energetic like it used to be. Now, we just see teams WALK most of the time and chat like they are one big happy family. It seems like editors also stick on one team for too long. As for the route, that'll be broken down here. ;)
ROADBLOCK/ROUTE INFO: As much as the kids tempted me to give a flying score for assembling a toy car and giving it back to the community, I just can't. :'( I really do feel ashamed of myself for this, but the Roadblock was boring for me to watch. You couldn't tell who was close to finishing the final product since the child safety barriers were obstructing the view and the building area didn't have good lighting. As a viewer, all the parts looked uniform making the task nondescript. Giving the toy car to the kids at a community organization was pretty sweet though.
ROADBLOCK/ROUTE INFO SCORE: 5/10
DETOUR: "Kick Back" or "Relax"
The Detour option this Leg brought me back to the pioneer TAR seasons when teams chose between a physical/mental strength task and a self-stimulating task that may take longer. I'm surprised nobody took the cupping therapy option though as the shuttlecock game made teams fall flat on their glutei maximi. The task everyone performed provided excitement in rooting for your team, but there wasn't much variety going on except hitting a birdie that makes you fall down. The cupping therapy had no potential though. Nothing interesting about watching teams' backs turn into a vermilion pattern. :res:
DETOUR SCORE: 7/10
OTHER SCORES
LEG DIFFICULTY SCORE: 5/10
TEAM DRAMA SCORE: 8/10 (Sadly, all centering around Mark & Mallory)
CHUCK-E-CHEESE'S ON STEROIDS: 1/10
EPISODE 2 OVERALL SCORE: 6/10
