Leg 8 Review:
The Leg: I liked it for what it was. The Detour was pretty good. Donkey Run was pretty hilarious, most especially with Brendon & Rachel and the Globes. The other Detour looked REALLY easy, but the bottom part of the donkey was a tricky clue that was a nice touch. It is still STILL way too easy for it to be a U-Turn Detour though. The Roadblock was very very boring and used team drama to make it a better task. Overall, a good leg, and the episode itself would be in the Top 4 of the season. (Leg 6, Leg 4, and Leg 3 are Top 3.)
Now the teams. *sighs*
LOVE:
Brendon & Rachel: They were their usual selves this leg. Rachel being fun, and Brendon being edited more negatively than the last time they were on. Their using of the U-Turn was completely justified, and they are running a good Race. Very very happy for them winning another leg. It's weird though, with all the Ford promotion, I expected them to win cars xD
Flight Time & Big Easy: Wow. Who would have thought? After seeing several of the other teams this leg, Flight Time & Big Easy are actually good. They ran through the leg in trainwreck fashion, and in return, for the first time since TAR15, I actually loved tem this leg. They performed their worst this season, but I would rather have them in than another M/M still in it. (More on that at the bottom.)
Caroline & Jennifer: A little bit under the radar this leg, but still a good team. They worked well together and I still love them, but I hope they don't do more of what they did in the Preview, being against Brenchel. *sighs* I don't want to root against them
Leo & Jamal: Surviving Three U-Turns, good job. I like them this leg, and seeing as they seem to be the least offensive of the "Final Three" alliance, I'm still rooting for them.
Tolerate:
Jet & Cord: They have been very very tolerable lately,but then their Cowboy theme music kicked in at the Roadblock so ew. Still not that bad anymore though lol.
HATE:
Dave & Connor: While Connor is still an okay racer, (despite quitting roadblock threat), Dave is now the worst Racer EVEEEEER. They get U-Turned, and he complains about U-Turning a 60 year old man. Bill & Cathi were 63 when they ran TAR19 and got U-Turned, and they just dealt with it. Dave just whines a LOT. And his mimicking of Rachel eerily reminds me of Vanessa & Ralph, but unlike Vanessa & Ralph (a team that has some redeeming qualities), they do not deserve to act like that. They finished in fourth anyway, so why complain? Definitely the worst team ever right now and I hope when another U-Turn comes out, they get U-Turned OUT of the Race that time. Their U-Turn logic of U-Turning the Afghanimals instead of Jet & Cord was incredibly stupid as well. They are being called "class acts", as far as I know, class acts don't whine like that.
