NumfarPTB:
What a great leg.

Still not the biggest fan of U-Turn board placed before the detour tasks, but do understand the logistics behind it, as tasks didn't seem so close to each other and at least the leg was designed in a way that there was still a chance that people might still be able to catch-up.

Totally fine by Courtney & Adam reasoning to use the uturn. They are aware how uneven they've been performing, they did need the cushion. Was totally expecting Nancy & Mellisa to play it more aggressively, but they still opted not to use the UTurn. If there were two teams Uturned, depending who was the second team, racing for last part might have been closer that it ended-up being. I'm still shocked by how uneven Courtney & Adam are as a team, with their credentials, I really was not expecting how much they've been struggling in the race.

Worried for Leanne & Mar, they were almost able to get back to the top of the pack, but they faltered at least twice, by not reading the clue or instructions given well enough. During the Bread ARI, even if they were in doubt, if they tried the easiest option before trying the "hard" option, they would have probably kept the lead.

Huge fan of Taylor & Courtney, but they definitely will have a target in their back now.
Without Todd & Anna around, the mounties and the cheerleader are the only one who have won legs so far, and we've already crossed the midway point of this race.

Chevrolet is clearly the headlining sponsor for this season, at least this task was a fun one.

Musicon:
Not that great an episode for me, the tasks just seemed relatively basic.  The idea of the double u-turn is that two teams get u-turned so there's more drama, but most teams don't want to u-turn. 

A very minor point but the host's comment that every play has two acts seemed strange.

Maanca:
Well this is a switch from past years! The Ontario (aka the California of Canada) teams have traditionally dominated past seasons. Now Leanne & Mar are the only ones left.

Ontarians have won every season except S1, so I'm pleased with this (despite me being born and raised in that province ;) )

Xoruz:
Leg 6

I’ll be honest, I was bored watching this episode.

We got a linear leg with an obvious result, lackluster tasks, and a poorly placed U-Turn. I defended the U-Turn in Jakarta, but I can’t now. I could tell early on that there was almost no chance of Zainab & Monica catching up and the U-Turn made that more apparent. None of the tasks gave any opportunity to slow down lead teams, so placements were pretty much set after teams arrived in Toronto.

I always like seeing former racers as greeters, so it was nice to see Sam & Paul again.
Martina: “You’re real.”  :funny:

City Hall: Easy. We’ve seen other versions of look from a high building to spot a flag that have been better. The only challenge was finding the observation deck.
Spark: We just had a good Chevy task. Why did we need another? Packing was judged pretty leniently as long as everything was in the truck, and we’ve seen several backup camera tasks.
Vogue: I don’t mind the over abundance of dance tasks, but I did not like this one. It wasn’t fun like the can-can, intricate like the saman, and even the local connection wasn’t that strong Show contentunlike next week’s ballet task
Latte: Only task I liked since we’ve never seen this task before.
Food bank: It’s nice and I get the hero connection, but it wasn’t difficult.

1/5
