Under-rated Legs
Zack.:
15.11 <3 23.2 scenery <3 (if only the Detour was like...good :()
I'm going to throw a vote for 2.7 - it's an undeniably cultural leg...without any physical OR mental tasks aside from cryptic clues <3
Maanca:
Canada Season 1, Episode 5.
Even though it was in its own country, this one had elements of a great Amazing Race leg. Every challenge was incredibly difficult.
-A "needle-in-a-haystack" Route Marker task that made 2 teams quit
-A detail-specific Roadblock with a "drill sergeant" kind of judge
-2 very physical Detours, plus Double U-Turn
-A footrace up a flight of stairs to aforementioned U-Turn
-A Fast Forward that was edited out because it was so tough nobody could complete it.

I just re-watched this Season over the weekend, and this was without doubt the best Leg. Like you said it had everything, but I didn't realise there was a Fast Forward. :o
Do we know what it was? Or which teams attempted to do it? ???

It was at the same place where the Roadblock was, and it was some driving simulation they use in police training. Vanessa & Celina (at one point you can see the green envelope in her hand) and Jet & Dave did it. Jet's a cop and even he couldn't get it.

Now you mention it, I do remember seeing the green envelope and thinking there must be a FF, but then just totally forgot about it. :groan:
Jet & Dave did it? They must've had a serious lead then, if they were able to attempt it, fail and still keep their lead. ???
