HaMerotz LaMillion 7 (TAR ISRAEL 7) Ongoing SHOW DIscussion
G.B.:
I give up. This season sucks.
I have no excitement, no tension, no connection to any of the competition going on on-screen whatsoever. I know it'll all just be invalidated by the mandatory luck-based task right before the Pit Stop.
Fey & Tia should have won this leg, with their brilliant spear-throwing and mastery of the water-balancing task, to completely overcome the Yield. But RNG decided against that.
Eden & Aviad should have been eliminated after such a huge catastrophic failure at the water-balancing task. But RNG decided against that.
How can I say this season is good, if somebody comes up to me and asks "How did [Eliminated team] get eliminated in Zimbabwe?" and all I can tell them is RNG
ImANewUser, I respect your differing opinion and I'm not going to be ridiculous and say "I'm right you're wrong" or anything like that, but I just cannot see where you're coming from at all. Nothing matters until the very end. Literally nothing matters. There's no point in being skillful. There's no punishment for being unskillful. Nothing besides GOD decides who wins and who is eliminated. That is not interesting to watch.

On an unrelated note, I wonder if the Detour actually literally went extinct on this season. Last season (Season 6) only had TWO Detours through the whole Race, and we haven't seen any yet. What a strange production choice...
Maanca:
I feel G.B.'s frustration. Once in a while, maybe, but HaMerotz ends like every leg with a luck task now. It's taking away from the reputation it had for having some of the greatest tasks of the Amazing Race franchise.

Some may disagree with me on this, but I feel like even the first leg in Israel ended with a luck task. You're in Tel Aviv, the one of the biggest cities in Israel, and you gotta find a person flying out the next day. How are you gonna figure that out without randomly asking every single person?
Lookit that! It made a *derp*ing shoelace!!
G.B.:
Somebody PLEASE help me find Ko Mpisi Village...
Despite so many tourists and tour companies going there, I can't find a single trace of this thing anywhere on maps. All I know is it's 20 minutes outside the city of Victoria Falls...
Musicon:
So the eliminations so far
injury
taxi
taxi
luck task (though you could say all these so far have a large element of luck)
I'm happy Aviad and Eden survived anyway. The drama switched to them and Ariel and Karin, so at least some different teams were involved in the suspense.
The last 3 eliminations were predictable once it got down to the end of the leg as they obviously haven't had much of an edit compared to the others.
I find it hard to believe the blonde was in an elite army unit, she's the weaker of the two. Though in the crocodile task I thought the other one just put the meat on the sticks anyway, so that needn't have delayed them. I was puzzled when Ran and Ben kept losing at the butterfly challenge as they seemed to cut some ropes.
Tia and Fay still being targeted. Orel still moaning and taking out resting time, so far she's got away with it. Tali and Gili finding the head to heads tough, but doing ok otherwise. The balancing task did look like it was more about speed and those who just tried to knock people over had the wrong approach most of the time. It was funny when Aviad seemed to get knocked off easily though. Getting the clue by radio message was cool, and it was funny seeing Ran and Ben listen to the English language broadcast thinking that was the message.
The earlier you arrive at a more luck based task the less need of luck I guess. The soap task was probably the most luck based so far, though it sounded like it was some kind of exfoliating soap so there was some discomfort that they had to quickly accept to find the token quicker. Some didn't have as much skin exposed to use the soap on.
