Not bad, I get good first impressions from pretty much every team. They seem energized and excited to be there, so hopefully they won't all COMPLETELY crash at the start of leg 3 like last season.

Episode 3
Episode 3, nice to see this country again after so long.
When I first found out that they might be going to Romania, it felt like such a treat since the country is so underused. The judge at the singing Detour had some brutal moments like saying how teams weren't singing Romanian at all or that some performances were as good as they could get. The Roadblock was not one for vegetarians. Elias & Matias also criticized the gymnastics judge for passing Metti & Hanna on what they viewed as an inferior performance. :funny:

Nothing went well for Jani & Maria. First their cab driver takes them to the wrong statue, then they struggle at the Detour, and finally they quit the Roadblock.
Episode 11
This was one of the more competitive legs with every team getting the opportunity to succeed or fail. Everyone was in first place at one point, which rarely happens for this show. Nice to see more of Costa Rica as it's been 10 years since the last visit. Not going to say much about the Speed Bump as it likely wasn't planned due to the second Romania leg. The Detour was a killer, so much so that Elias & Matias switched three times. This was one of the crazier finishes with a come from behind victory and a three-way foot race.

I was rooting for Paulus & Adeliina the most, but any team that wins will be satisfying.
For a season that has emphasized a close race among three teams, it was not surprising that the final leg was that competitive. It did come as a surprise that the race to the Finish Line was that close along the likes of TAR 2. Apparently it came down to 15 seconds.

Congratulations to Metti & Hanna!
That's it for TAR in 2024. Now on to 2025.
