--- Quote from: G.B. on July 16, 2025, 08:10:31 PM ---I'm officially tired of luck-based tasks. They're just demoralizing and not fun to watch. Teams get rewarded for no reason, teams get punished for no reason. This team wouldn't have been eliminated if not for that one task. Yes, even with the Express Pass and Detour snafus, they would have survived if not for the luck task.

I'm tired of it.

I don't know if we know if they'd have been eliminated off the back of the Smurf task at all.  We don't know if that would've compelled them to switch to the sled.  We don't know if they'd have taken the same time on the snowshoes without the knowledge of where the short kings were.  The leg played out as it played out.

The way the show is edited, we don't know how far behind Brendan and Sam were behind the others, even with the scene of them seeing a blue truck.

I'm not even sure there was an indication of how long teams were searching those 40 acres of the woods.  Maybe it wouldn't have had an effect at all.

You might be succumbing to the edit here.


Edit: I'm glad the returning team is out.  I think it's a lousy gimmick to bring back earlier teams.  They're nice enough people, but the idea falls flat to me.  Plenty of people out there who also want to race who could be equally engaging.
