WELLY TOSSING NEXT WEEK OMW <33333333

I have to say that this has probably been my favourite leg of the whole Race so far - a lot of drama and some very unique/interesting tasks!

LEG 10 (Switzerland --> Spain) EPISODE ANALYSIS:
For the prize aside from another Travelocity vacation, we finally get to see another country without it being visited in two Legs in this season! Woohoo! In all honesty though, this episode felt petty and lukewarm. The tasks were decent, but the route overall was brief and uninspiring. The hours of operation should NEVER play a factor in the race at all EVER AGAIN.

ROADBLOCK: (Who wants a close shave?)
This Roadblock made teams scrape shaving cream off a balloon within one minute. I really don't see the point of this task since it really doesn't have anything to do with Spanish culture plus it was relatively short. After hearing so many balloon heads bursting, I am scared of the following: balloons, barber shops, and hair salons. Thanks, TAR for possibly giving me a nightmare worse than repeatedly imagining Joyce shave all her locks off in TAR7.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 3/10

SPEED BUMP:
Caroline & Jenn had to deliver slices of meat to Las Teresas Cafe. What's with both of the country singers' Speed Bumps being delivery extras? That kind of annoyed me since it felt like I was watching de ja vú. The task itself is relatively easy that I think it was even quicker to finish (and significantly lesser weight to carry) than Italy's SB. I hope this will be the sign that TAR will change the non-elimination penalty format.
SPEED BUMP SCORE: 2/10

DETOUR: (Flattering Flamenco or Bucking Bronco)
The flamenco dancing choice was warmhearted, fun, and I kind of enjoyed watching the Southerns complete this task since it calmed my blood pressure to slap the cast directors to oblivion. However, I think the dance was easy to remember because of how flowery and elegant flamenco dancers move. There wasn't much significant challenge other than memorizing the moves. The plastic bull option was crazy humiliating and starched Rachel to her boiling point once again. I actually wanted to be an obstacle bull so I could ram ALL those petty, boring, and whiney teams through the cobblestone streets of Seville. The only thing I would change is the length of the phrase since everyone got it correct on the first attempt. I understand why they had to use bubble bulls now, the brute force of sending some teams flying across the pathways. Haha!
DETOUR SCORE: 7.5/10

OTHER SCORES:
LEG DIFFICULTY: 6/10
TEAM DRAMA: 8/10
U-TURN SCORE: 4/10
HITTING TEAMS I DESPISE ACROSS THE STREETS: 20/10
JAMAL INJURING HIMSELF: 10/10
ME BEING A COLD-HEARTED B-I-T-C-# WHO NEEDS TO SHUT HER OWN TRAP AND STICK TWO FINGERS UP HER OWN NOSE: 1000/10 (but it's not going to happen :lol: )
OVERALL SCORE: 6/10

SamualDude:
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Sri Lanka 2 has been only the All Stars worthy leg.

Jimmer:
I sort of actually liked this leg in general, even though it still wasn't absolutely amazing, it was one of the better ones.

1. There was split flights, with a little bit of drama, and production did a smart thing with a partial bump where they make the teams closer but those who made the earlier flight still had an advantage.
2. I also felt like the tasks were rather difficult, and we saw some competition and U-Turn drama among teams which was fun to watch. And teams were very unpredictable on who would be last because no one was near each other (with the exception of Cancer winning the leg)

But I wish they were like actual cultural relevant stuff rather than comedic knock offs like with balloons and inflatable balls, which would make it more all star worthy. Remember TAR20 beard styling, where they groomed actual people, not balloons? That would be way more difficult and better to watch. I felt the bull balls were okay and very entertaining, but I wish we got to saw real bulls, or at least teams taking shots head on with each other to see more competitive fire. I felt like the leg had so much more potential which is why it is not all star worthy.
