Yeah this was a step up from the premiere. This is partly due to feeling more like a typical TAR leg with the added flavor of train drama. Apparently the well worn TAR wisdom of never connecting in Frankfurt also applies to the train station as well as the airport. We also got to see more traveling on foot like Phil previewed preseason, which led to one of the funnier moments with the ice cream celebration.

I think a lot of people could have predicted that Angela & Lexi would be fun TV but only for a handful of episodes.

Good to finally see a leg in Prague without the Kefka phones (seriously? On the second visit to the Czech Republic, a Switchback to the first). Must have been some spread when a team who missed the Detour still gets the same place!

Guess all those people saying they wouldn't watch until Angela was gone are safe to start next week.

In a flaky connection area, but I caught it all on a Central broadcast. The train drama was definitely the star of the episode. It felt like a true, classic European leg with every team experiencing different challenges with the rail lines, and showing how they made do with it without a lot of confessionals in between. Between Tucker & Eric missing a whole Detour and still ending up in the same place, and Hannah & Simone wandering off away from the station and still chasing the top spots by the end of it, I was very impressed with the edit.

As for the tasks, I love the Roadblock - scary and quick. The cemetery below especially. :lol: I was a little underwhelmed by the Detour. I feel there could've been more involvement utilizing the Czech glasses to make the delivery task more interesting, and the pronunciation memorization task becomes stale when it serves the same recital format season after season. Overall, this was a solid showing.

I'm bummed Angela & Lexi were eliminated since I feel like I got to know their individual personalities and their dynamic as a team more than the rest of the cast so far - something that's amiss between the other teams (again, haven't watched or cared much for Big Brother in over a decade, everyone is completely new to me). They seemed sweet and Lexi definitely brought a bit more liveliness to the beginning of this season. Hoping some other teams break out of their shell as the season goes on.

Two commercial breaks and no team has yet touched foot in the destination country? That means we had some good transportation drama!  :luvya: Very reminiscent of the early days of TAR.

The tasks this leg were standard fare, with a typical early-season heights task and then memorization vs. delivery. For just the second episode of a thirteen team season, you're still getting introduced to all the teams, and so it's ok that the teams, not the tasks, carried this episode.

Kyland and Taylor haven't broke above 9th; they're probably the team whose results I'm most surprised about so far. Then again, we have a sample size of just 2 legs.

I hope the trends of train travel and going on foot continue!
