I forgot to mention Yvonne & Chloe's leg prize. Either it was non-existent (budget!?
) or it was just not revealed (editing!?
).
Meanwhile, I did not see the smart kids' elimination coming.
1st to worst, the complete opposite of Yvonne & Chloe's. I didn't know the 9th place curse would stretch to TARA.
Some coincidences this leg:
~Yvonne & Chloe and Brandon & Alphaeus are at both ends of the placement spectrum during leg start and leg end, and they just switched places. Both teams are from Malaysia too.
~The 3 MM teams this season are the bottom 3 this leg.
Overall, the episode was good. There were a lot of placement switches, and the detour was good. There were amusing mistakes from teams,
and also navigation drama. The roadblock was poorly designed though, and it was bordering linear.
At least there was a suspenseful footrace in the end. I was rooting for both teams, so oh well.
At least Brandon & Alphaeus won something from last leg.
JK & Mike on the preview though.
Is there even any team I don't like?
Also NEL, when are you coming?
Please don't let the budget push you too far.
