Over 20 years since TAR was last in Hungary, and it gave us easily the best leg so far. That being said, it was unfortunate to see teams contend with racism. This leg gave us so much, so it was the right call to also have a Fast Forward. The leg did feel reminiscent of HaMerotz LaMillion's visit to Budapest with the visit to the thermal baths, a Houdini task, and Rubik's cube task, and a circus task.

Funnily enough that season also visited Budapest, Prague, Kutna Hora, and Dubrovnik.

It even opened with train drama though to a more comedic effect with half of the teams sleeping the night away while the others were frantically making connections. With the chess piece and the Houdini box, there were multiple instances of cryptic clues. Like Phil said at the mat, there was so much emotion this leg. I'm amazed that it took Joseph & Adam 134 attempts to complete the juggling task.

And yet even that did not prevent Kat & Alex from passing them.

How do you not know what juggling is?  Explain Natalie!

Sadly, what happened with Jas & Jag was not entirely surprising. Eastern European countries like Hungary and Poland are known for being more... conservative about their borders. Taxi drivers probably just saw two bearded men in turbans and alarm bells went off.

I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought this was a well-designed Budapest leg and the editing was solid for a post-modern season. A nice handful of tasks involving a fairly advanced skill (performance juggling, horse slalom, the Rubik's cube Fast Forward) that tripped up a lot of teams and shuffled the standings a bit. The situation involving Jas & Jag trying to flag a taxi after the thermal baths was sad to watch. It is definitely a scene that will stick with me and how challenging it is to compete against intolerance. Joseph & Adam bricking their key in the Houdini crate was a highlight for me. Glad there's no alliance shenanigans besides a bit of railway scramble (feels like I'm saying this too early, but we'll see). I have no other notes besides breathing a sigh of relief at no longer hearing more of Kat's whimpering on tasks that aren't even worth the tears.
