So they didn't air the One Way then? Interesting, guess no one used it.

No one way. But the way the leg was structured, I wonder why producers decided to have that placed here.

Overall, an weird leg.
Curious how they'll keep fitting Samsung products into tasks, will we get one every leg? It was a weird designed task, as I felt that sucked a lot of energy out of the episode. Yes, Jon got more screentime, but other than the couple that Deven & Amanda, struggling through their 1st attempt, wasn't particularly fun TV, to the point a bunch of teams just got edited together into a split-screen.
Kinda expected to see the 1st assist used this leg, but once again, it was only mentioned, but not used.
So we'll probably not find any airport drama this season. I expect Guru placement, to be set officially at the sign-up boards for flights for the entire season for every leg that there's travel, with production pre-assigned flights. Definitely easier to manage.

There was only one judge for the entire Chevrolet RB, wonder if it would've been more competitive if there were more judges. People who exceled at that, flew by the task, but a few struggled. But having only one judge, seem to limit the number of attempts.

The detour design was effective, it required some detaile work from both sides, plus travel time.

Xoruz:
Structure wise, this was a weird leg. It's not usual to see know your partner this early, but it did create a backlog since only Jon asked questions Newlywed Game style. That became a recurring problem for the rest of the leg. We got a backlog at the Roadblock since there was only one customer. We then got a backlog with the horse ride. I also question the choice to place a Double One Way, even if it wasn't used, since the Detour was the last task and it wasn't even. I've seen several complaints about the product placement, but I'm just used to it at this point and it's not as intrusive as other Canadian shows (*cough* BBCAN *cough*).
