Pi:
Liked the ARI. It was a fun way to reveal the clue, though I wish teams were left to figure out for themselves the need to immerse the paper in water.

If I were doing this Roadblock, I'm pretty sure I'd kick the ball either a mile into the air or way off to the side while desperately trying to save it. I'm glad nobody damaged anything at the temple with an errant kick. :funny:

Fling It definitely sounded like the more fun Detour side...
Knowing when to abandon ship can be an understated skill on the Race. I'm glad we got that confessional from Alyssa and Josiah about the shortcomings of being headstrong.

I'll hold judgement on the new twist until I actually see it in action- it could be kindling on the competitive fire, or it could be nothing.

Xoruz:
I've wanted Kyoto for a while, and this leg delivered. Probably the best of the three so far. Considering the frequency of the Shinkansen, there wasn't a massive transportation equalizer so teams had an advantage from the previous leg. The kemari Roadblock worked well with the Express Pass as it wasn't extremely difficult but it took out time from teams that attempted it. The main centerpiece was of course the Detour. While ninjas and origami are both stereotypical aspects of Japan, it's surprising that neither have been used before. The ninja side was presented as the more fun one, and on paper, the origami side should take longer with the constant running back and forth to the ongoing demonstration and waiting for one specific part. The fact that there was no margin for error with throwing made the ninja side harder. Very much a classic Detour choice. Also of note, it was nice to see both Japanese legs focus on more of country's traditional culture.

Maanca:
I liked how excited Carson & Jack got over the Fling It side. To an anime-loving gamer, the chance to be a ninja in Japan sounds amazing on paper.

They made that Detour a little too difficult by having to land every shot. It reminded me of Season 25 in Malta when no one could get running up the greased pole.
