The editing is nearly ruining this season =/
You know it's bad when you are absolutely blown away by the cast pre-show, then EVERYONE delivers in their own right particularly in the Secret Scenes, with a LOT of golden moments in them, but the show doesn't show it at all =/
We missed out on:
-Jazmine & Danielle calling the sun seeping into their pores as the Race began
-#TeamTMZ arguing more even though they were last and locals walking over to stare at them as they melt down
(Leg 1)
-Denise & James not being able to get a taxi because they were in swimsuits (Leg 1)
-Phil mentioning the Pit Stop greeter as Tiffany's sister
(Leg 1)
-Ernest & Jin having a cute moment teaching Tiffany & Krista dancing at the Airport (Leg 2)
-Logan & Chris arguing at the Airport after Logan pinches Chris and then making up 10 whole seconds later
-Kelsey & Joey arguing over directions in the other Detour (Leg 2)
-Cindy & Rick mentioning Justin & Diana as an overtly strong team which could give them out as a U-Turn target (Leg 2)
-Denise asking James if the dancers thought he smelled
(Leg 2 post-Roadblock)
-Tanner & Josh/Logan & Chris/Denise & James-Earl mentioning wanting Justin out (Leg 2 Pit Stop)
-Jazmine & Danielle getting extremely lost at the Leg 2 Pit Stop.
-Alex & Adam's taxi taking them to the wrong place which caused their elimination. (Leg 2)
-Phil mentions Cindy & Rick's marriage and asks how long the marriage will be and the greeter says "For a short time"
(Leg 2 Pit Stop)
IDK, we could have had these scenes instead of:
-A giant focus on the Helicopter Ride on Leg 1 + the nearly 2 entire minutes they gave for Justin's Meltdown
-Another long minute on Leg 2 when teams entered the Cathedral
-Cutting down some time from the Roadblock on Leg 2 (the Roadblock was around 15-20 minutes or nearly HALF the episode beginning from when Justin & Diana get there [Other teams were just shown finishing and getting their clue])
Just my opinion IMO, but hopefully it improves!
