This felt like a replacement leg for a location whose plans fell through, y'know? It felt kind of slapped together.

A random task with the helicopters that they were able to do because they were already using the helicopters for transport... A re-used (bad) concept from last season with the token-trading... Nothing really big or fancy in Gananoque, just running to places... The most random dress-up a donkey task ever? Why were they dressing up donkeys? Does it have anything to do with local culture or tradition? Is it part of a festival or something?

True, the most relevant task was obviously the Thousand Island dressing. But shouldn't they have had to make it, too?

For a leg that incentivized having teams working together, it caused some of the bigger shake ups of the season. The answer for the significance of the donkey task is that it's at one of only three donkey farms in the province and the outfits are just for fun. It is tasks like that which give fun NPCs like the fashion designer as well as the onion opera singer.

So something weird happened. The preview did call next leg, the one before the Semifinals, so seems to confirm we are probably getting another F4 final leg like TARCan8, which was the odd COVID season.
Jesse & Jon finally struggling reminds me of those few legs that Jack and Carson fell to the back of the pack, and had to climb back to the top for a couple of legs, only the J&J haven`t been able to be as conspicous as J&C.
Happy for the shake-ups, otherwise it was kinda a boring leg.
