WindsorSue:
First of all, I just do not understand why they didn't do the Startline in Victoria, then go to Salt Spring Island instead of Squamish for leg 1. I suppose the Saturday Market on Salt Spring had something to do with it, but why not just start filming on the 20th?

After watching the leg a second time, I don't think it was as weak as I did the first time, but it was still disappointing to me. Why didn't they stay on the island?  :groan: I've been to Salt Spring and it's beautiful. I'm conflicted about the pie eating task. On one hand, I think they could have designed a better market task - it's such a fun place. Or they could have highlighted the arts community.  :duno: On the other hand, I think it was hilarious. I also think people didn't catch the fact that they were made to run through the forest and up the hill - after having eaten a whole pie.

Speaking of Mount Erskine, people leave those fairy doors along the path all the time. I don't think they expained that?????

I completely agree on your first point... sometimes I don't understand production... Why not save money and do it the logical way?
It would have made sense to start leg 1 in Saltspring Island, do leg 2 in Yukon, and then leg 3 Squamish... anyway...

it's a bit like last season: Why start in Newfoundland, travel ALL the way to Vancouver for leg 1, and then go back to Newfoundland later in the race. It would have been so much more logical to start somewhere with a direct flight, in a province not visited on that season (like Winnipeg or Whitehorse).

As for the leg, I liked it! I feel like the pie eating task was fun because you don't need skills and it's very difficult for teams that usually do well. The speedbump was good but I would have done it as two stations to make it more complicated. The fairy task was cute, and the car task was also fun (but it looked too easy, maybe have them do it in 2:50 (some of them did it under that). I loved the last roadblock also, it was hard enough that we good some placement shift.
Overall maybe not as fun as last week's leg, but a good leg.
