I thought in the early seasons, they showed a little bit of the "in between" stuff. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that?

I like how they were able to show both in the past. :( I'm learning more with Phil's narration on the nation's history and culture though.

They did sometimes, but never at the expense of Phil talking about the location. And when we did see it, it would be part of a storyline, like Reichert and Chip coming out to the remaining teams or Alex getting together with Tara
Best Loser:
I hate it when hosts of other versions or Phil in some recent seasons say "You're the xth team to arrive" to announce placements instead of the tried and true "You're team number x!". At this point I'm Pavlovian conditioned to expect a "but..." when they do that and it just really throws me off.

I totally agree with this. I don't want to hear NFL-style play-by-play announcements on the show. It's a distraction.

I like to think that this segment took away the calling of all Pit Stop placements. :groan:

This needs a bump, because when the live commentary was implemented (& placements started to rarely be called out), I started to dislike Phil as a host.
