Are the spoilers just about the Wednesday episode? Helps to indicate what spoiler comments may refer to.
Anyway on the Wednesday episode and the last few.
Sid and Eyal really have had the worst luck with taxis on this race, several times being shown to have drivers who didn't know the location to go to. I was so relieved they beat Nisim and Orel who were definitely lucky several times. I generally didn't like the boot order on this (right from the injury at the start), and Tali and Gili basically helped Nisim/Orel survive by not paying attention in the luck task. Luck hasn't really favoured teams I've liked on this race and even when it did there they there they couldn't take advantage.
Monday last week I had no idea what the talk about credit cards was as the episode hadn't been uploaded. As it's normally prompt I assumed there hadn't been a Monday episode. Maybe it would be good to have a weekly schedule on when episodes are during seasons, as some versions definitely have variation at points.
I was wondering in the last few legs how many of these tasks are actually related to the culture of the local area. And in China there was quite a strange leg where it looked like it was more a comedy than a race, with the dance/singing task (obviously meant to be judged very leniently) and some tv shopping task where they just seemed to fool around. I still didn't find the twins funny, they may find Chinese a funny language, but I find their brand of humour very unfunny.
The good thing was that most of the tasks on the race weren't easy and teams didn't appear to help each other. If they did it wasn't shown that I could tell. The yields may have shown alliances but could have just been teams following whoever other teams were yielding so they wouldn't get the most votes themselves.
One thing I really missed in this was navigation, not taxi luck although they rarely focused on the taxis even. Sometimes it just seemed like one task after another, and the transport/navigation in between was just the boring bit that should be skipped over. It was quite a shock in one leg when we saw Ariel and Karin running around trying to find somewhere, actual race drama that wasn't related to a task but to contestants actually having to find somewhere.
The luck tasks have obviously added drama but at the same time made it a lottery. And as with lotteries it seems you rarely win, and I didn't with these. The possibility was dangled that a certain team would go out before the finale, but of course it didn't happen. The last luck task reminded me of another version, possibly the Canadian one, where teams had to find a large sign. But it turned out this sign was in two different places and only one was the actual pit stop. I don't like to spoil other seasons so just to say on that

It turned out it was a non-elimination leg, as legs dependent on luck should be.
I know which team I don't want to win. I don't mind the other two, though the edit seemingly making out that Tia and Fay were beset by villains who they had to valiantly fight against has annoyed me. One of the best things about them for foreign viewers is that they do speak more English than anyone else. It was interesting to see in their family segment that they had far fewer people, indicating further how they are different from all the others left.
