Yeah, like others have said, the editing wasn't that good, but I'm quite used to bad editing in first legs so it doesn't effect me as much. I really liked the accented O trick in the roadblock. I don't hate anyone yet which is great. Overall I thought it was alright with some good parts, which is good as I didn't like the 26-28 first episodes so i'll take it.
My main gripe is not showing who got on what flight or even mentioning there were 2 flights. Idk why the show doesn't focus on finding/getting flights anymore :(
DavidJunior:
I wish they’d just make the premiere 1 1/2 hours
I think it’d fix a lot of the editing problems people are sighting- especially with it feeling rushed
With those extra 20 mins of actual airtime, they could’ve explained flights more, spent more time on teams so we can get to know them, showcase the country/landscape more, give some more time to the tasks
I agree that first legs are usually kinda meh, so I thought this one was good considering that fact
That final run to the mat was INTENSE
Watching the episode, I’m kinda bummed that the ring girls were out first- don’t know if they’d make it too much further, but I liked them more than the other two they were competing against at the end
This season looks CRAZY though! I really hope these twists come out well

Had to give-up on the stream last night, as it was lagging so much. Glad there were episode up in torrent trackers fairly quickly when I woke-up.
Like most initial episodes from a season, it really needed an extra 15-20 minutes of actual episode time. When was the last time we had that happen. 5-6 years ago?
The lack of information about teams being split in two flights, would have helped to explain better the initial spread of the teams. It reminds me of how sometimes we uncover so much more info during lives, that just get edited out.
That was a nerve-wrecking final moment, and even though the leg was gorgeous, expected it be a bit more competitive, considering how strongly they been pushing that narrative in the marketing of the season.
Rather curious how the new twists will play out, especially considering we have 4 double episode weeks scheduled for the season.
Snausages:
Ugh, another season of already semi-famous people I couldn't care less about? At least there were some normal teams this time

We know from spoilers that teams were split into two flights. Totally agree that is something very good to see though.
I know that the Eaters, Models, Violinists, Basketball were on the Delta flight. There may have been one more that went thru security before I arrived.
Racers have confirmed elsewhere the two flights that "split us in half" and that and" the First Flight had so much delay that they ended up Landing close to the same time anyway."
