Yeah, the music video (basically a movie with how much they added to it) has over 74 million views, so I understand why it was chosen from that standpoint. I just think they could've added to the difficulty by giving them transliterated practice but Vietnamese words on the karaoke screen so they would have to memorize how the words are pronounced rather than being able to read the pronunciation off the screen.

A more old style harder memorisation task makes for more drama, and I felt the same with the Laos alphabet task where they got images as a help.

A plus was the dance task did seem to be judged harder than the karaoke.  Though I prefer teams not being told what to improve to pass, I'd rather they work it out for themselves.

And some of the teams judged themselves harder than the dance judge did. I listen to Victor & Nicole's podcast every week, and this week, before the interview with Phil (which was pretty insightful and worth a listen, btw), they were talking about this week's leg, and Victor mentioned how most of the time, he was the one who stopped the routine, because he instinctively knew that they had messed up the choreography.

FYI, it can't kill you, as laws of physics don't work like what you imagined, but it can injure you. Like that common misconception that a coin dropped from the Empire State Building in New York City could kill you. It simply doesn't have enough force to kill you.
