[Alenaveda]

And, of course (why was I waiting something different from last season?) no preview.

And, of course (why was I waiting something different from last season?) no preview. 

hahahaha same here...

I'm actually surprised by the elimination... at least until the taxi ride to the Palacio de Cristal everything seemed to point out Carlos&Orlando or David&Audi to be eliminated... Ana&Vantroy's elimination came out of nowhere... which is good IMO

Overall the episode was OK... wish we could've seen more of the roadblock but with all the gear on it was hard to make up who was who... and the editing highlighted all the teams equally or at least I didn't notice if someone was missing for a long period of time...

I'm so glad that the chilean team Stefania&Felipe got the express passes, they are the only team from a country with no other representative... otherwise we would've seen the same thing again where teams from the same country have an automatic alliance... at least now there could be an alliance between different countries to spice thing up...

Thanks for the link, Alenaveda.

Some thoughts:
* on the descent from the mountain, team placement was incorrect.
* I'll never be casted on this show. Only the Mexican dad is older than me. 
* There's no need for a second host.
* Too many "friends" teams.
* the tablet with the clue was lazy. They could've come up with something better for a Claro product placement.
* If I ever go to Ecuador, I need to ask the taxi driver if he knows where he's going before getting in the taxi!

[Alenaveda]

I hope it's not me wrong. But I still have a flashback of one of the teams arriving at the end of the biker course and the graph saying they were team number 10 when you could see the other team members waiting.

Yes, you're right. I noticed.

Also noticed the Venezuelan gay couple was labeled as "friends". Very odd.

And here's my flashback! 



Jenny & Martin finished the RB in 4th place not in 10th 

[zeeyyy]

Yes, Jaime Arellano may as well be a walking lamp post as he's spoke only once at the beginning of the pitstop! What an unequal partnership!!!

I think the tablet is just pure additional advertising as Claro can be seen on the racers pouch bag!

Btw, thanks to Alenaveda for the running commentary.

The doll task scenes are just too rushed as compared to the earlier scenes & the haphazard PS shots may be good for suspense but I sensed a lost of the timeline!

Having said that, the format of TAR Philippines 2 is also different - they showed the scenes of all racers completing the task before moving to the next one thereby messing with the timeline! Maybe I'm used to the format used by TAR US editions where the scenes shown are almost following the actual time sequence, ala "24", the TV series...
