Show contentNext week
Saskatchewan, challenge in a mine? Dance/Singing challenge, a giant maze
And then some airport drama showdown, Aarthy tells Irina she is disrespectful and Irina mocks her... things are getting nasty

stunami:
It was a good leg, but felt really rushed.
I like that teams got separated right at the start in Vancouver.
But this start of the leg felt like a copy of last year, when teams left the north to go to Vancouver Island, and sign up for 4 planes.

First place was a set up for the rest of the leg with the bags, as there was a lot of useful things in it (Gloves for the clam challenge, Nanaimo bars, a bone for Trish/Amy's speedbump, the carrots that made James think of goats on the roof before he even started the roadblock).

The Bungee/Swing task was great because the memorization part helped shuttle the order a bit (and the two teams who where the most afraid had to do it twice).

The speedbump was ok, not too difficult as the bones were marked, so they just had to find them and put them in the right order, based on the plan. I guess the difficulty was the extra bone in the bag, but the moms seemed to remembered it pretty quickly.

Clam challenge was great! 4 penalty for the same task. wow! Is this a first?
It was great to see Aarthy being so helpful to James/Anthony. They could have used their express pass and win the leg has they used it early on. Good on both teams for not quitting. Also, how lucky were Sarah/Sam to get the clams so quickly?

Roadblock was good too. Sucks that the mom doing the roadblock didn't think of erasing her answers. Dave/Irina are really sneaky... They are really setting up the whole D/I agains everybody, seems it will be even more intense next week.

My only disappointment was that we didn't see anything of the city of Nanaimo, I've never been and would have like to see what it looked like, but they spent the whole leg in 'nature'.

Maanca:
Well, kinda expected it might feel rushed. When we saw this leg being filmed, it felt suspiciously like a substitute for some international leg that got shelved. I can't be entirely upset at Dave & Irina for inspiring a redux of the Boston Rob meat Roadblock mass quit.

This season is certainly delivering on the TAR-brand drama that was almost non-existent the past couple of years.
 
No Detour again this week, huh?

degenerasian:
How long were Dave and Irina at the Calm Challenge?
The last two teams were there 4 and a half hours and still finished within the 2 hour penalty.
