Each team will get once chance to Yield another team during the Race. This Yield would remain available as long as there’s a team remaining that hasn’t used it. How long a team will be yielded I have no idea, but this will bring back an element that has been missing since the FF disappeared from aTAR.
It was a good opening leg. They were very careful not to use the words “pit stop” so it was clear that there wasn’t going to be one, and be a KOR leg.

TAR5 had a Yield on every leg and I liked that so it would be cool to see that back!

I think having it be 90-minutes or even 2-hours long (like originally planned) would have immensely improved the editing on this premiere. But I guess CBS showing a rerun of S.W.A.T. immediately after was more important to them?

A little over a year's worth of miscellaneous programming since TAR 31 was more important to them lol
NELs:
First of all, did they hire Allan Wu to write the on-screen descriptions for the tasks. :funny:
Overall, other than the rushed first segment, I really enjoyed this premiere. It was fun, hectic, and culturally relevant.
Thoughts on the tasks:
Carnival Task: This was a fun task, and I liked how there were departure times depending on when you got the clue. Reminded me of an old-school TAR premiere where there was one every first leg.
Fish Task: Enjoyable, quick task that got teams confused for not paying attention.
RoadBlock: Another fun task where some teams struggled. (Now I have that song stuck in my head :funny: )
Goat Racing: Quick task, but a great one to have by the Pit Stop.
Very surprised to see first leg Keep-on-Racing with last team eliminated.
Gonna say, I really like every team so far, I can say this is going to be an enjoyable cast.
Rating: 4/5

The 2 hour premiere would have been the first 2 episodes back to back. This episode was never going to be longer than an hour. The only extended episode we've gotten in the last....10 years? is the premiere with the blind date gimmick.

I loved the premiere. About the "rushed" comments, nothing's new. It's been like that since the past seasons unless we have 90 minutes premiere. The fish task and the RB were the highlight of this episode. I like all the teams so far, so sad seeing Nathan & Cody eliminated, especially in a KOR leg :( Preview for the next episodes looks good to me, can't wait to see what will happen.
