Keepcopz:
JOY
- They really step it up with the route this season. 10 countries visit with only 2 Double Legs. Zimbabwe's visiting is also nice.

- The cast except [REDACTED] & Diana are all pretty solid. The entire of F6 except you know how are all shine in their own way and I wouldn't mind to see any other teams (except [REDACTED] & Diana) make it to F3 this season.

- I like the new Express Pass twist.

- 3 Memory Challenges in the Finale. <3 (If only it was a little more complicated, but it's always good to have Memory Challenge at the very end)

DISAPPOINTMENT
- Although the route is spectacular. The leg design is ruining everything. Starting from leg 1, really?. One team on first flight. Imagine if [REDACTED] & Diana complete the FF and get the EP when the rest are not even made it to the first ARI yet. :res: Then we have consecutive legs with no bunching at all starting from Leg 2-3 then Leg 4-5 and then Leg 9-10. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? :res: This not only screwed up a lot of teams (Ex. Ernest & Jin and Denise & James Earl who did everything correctly but just cannot catch up.), but it also make it super linear and all the front pack can roam easily to Pit Stop. The tasks are not good either. We have 999 tasks involved height crammed up in 3 consecutive legs. (AND ALL OF THEM WERE ROADBLOCK, SERIOUSLY?) :res: And of course, who can forget that we made it all the way to Zimbabwe just to play some random golf. :res:

- I'm not really impressed with the way they handle the second half of the race. 3 European legs feel almost the same? (I miss it back in TAR22 when we have 4 European Legs but manage to cover Scenic Snowy Mt. + Crazy Urban Night Leg + Rural Scotland + Northern Island Industrial Port together or even TAR26 with only 3 legs but manage to pull an amazing steak of Rural Freezing Germany + Mediterranean French + Crazy Amsterdam) 2 legs in the same city in India? China at the end? It kinda ruin the great start.

- With 9999 new twists this season. 90 percents of them ARE FAILED. I absolutely don't want to see Single U-Turn in LINEAR LEG, U-TURN right in front of the Pit Stop or Double Roadblock Speedbump EVER again.

- Of course, the editing. It is so messy. I miss the day in old era where we got to see teams doing stuff, airport drama and whatever. Right now, it's like we only see them reading clue, getting clue, 30 seconds segment of them performing and then check-in. :res: Please fix the editing as soon as possible please. It's not the viewer's work to fix your edit! (Gamer <3)

- [REDACTED]. Nuff's said. :res: One wrong casting can ruin a potentially good season forever.
