I wouldn't say that Finland's first outing was the best, but I was happy to see it return.

Episode 1

They're sticking to the time differences after airports, but the use of public transportation in Krakow did shake that up. The Roadblock ended up being a bit brutal with one team taking 100 minutes to finish it. The Express Pass was introduced, and there was quite a competition among a few teams to win it. Paulus & Adeliina and Leea & Kaarina had a fun first impression.

Episode 2

This leg suffered from a very lopsided Detour. I don't know how anyone could finish the counting task since there were so many small statues. None of them got close. Surprisingly, the Roadblock ended being a slight equalizer. Even though it was the same task from TAR 27, these racers struggled more.

Are the episodes on Ruutu geolocked, paywalled, or both? As a guest, it's only telling me to make a "free" account.

Yeah, that news article was a dead giveaway that they wouldn't win the race. It was just a matter of how far they went.

We got the obligatory San people leg while in Namibia.

They really didn't visit many locations this leg with much of it focused on the nature sanctuary. That did mean that all of the teams could see each until they drove to Spitzkoppe. So that increased the tension after the return of the penalty.

I'm curious as to how Thorpie & Christian fall so far behind. Did they get that lost?

Commendable for Thorpie to race as long he did, though apparently he was seriously injured.

Some points from the Finnish news.

https://www.is.fi/viihde/art-2000010744050.html
"Amazing Race start got mixed reviews". Viewers have mixed feelings about the cast and pacing, but they like that there is more navigating with public transport. Metti is not a fan-fave.

In general spectators are pleased, but they think that the episodes are too long.

https://www.is.fi/tv-ja-elokuvat/art-2000010730127.html
"Teams break important rule"

Basicly, the producers advice teams not to run all the time, if the heat is too strong.

The producers have also heard critisism from last year, when they were only in Southeast Asia. They have also noticed feedback regarding the tasks, and there shouldn't be as much dancing this season.

So, that sounds promising, even though they did dance in the first episode once again, but I guess it was fine - for now. I also hope they don't have over 3 eating tasks, enough is enough.

Season 2 started! The first episode was good, I actually liked it better than the premiere of first season.

All of the pairs seem good so far, I like all of them. Metti seems uptight, but she is also entertaining.

Tasks were good enough and not too easy. And it was great, that the positions of the teams changed during the episode.

Paulus&Adelina for the win!
