With that, Amazing Race Australia has covered all 3 of the main countries of North America - Canada in Season 2, USA in Season 3, and now Mexico.

A very so-so leg until they got to the Roadblock - just WOW! I love seeing places like it and kudos to the editing and music choice when the first team went through.

Of course it had to be non-elimination when Flo 2.0 and her husband get last. The only team left I really want gone 🙄 Though I respect Chelsea for facing up to her fear in the water.

U-Turn in tomorrow's episode! Haven't seen one of those in a while, not in the last 2 US seasons nor Canada 8

I'm sorry but that edit of Beau with a sombrero. 

Quite a variety of factors led to teams working together more than usual this season. Not to much to the first task outside of the grossness factor. Getting the piņatas to drop looked really frustrating. I don't blame what

did. The color task was more matching than memorization. Not a fan of the bottle neck at the rope making task. Roadblock was straightforward, but it's nice that they have been choosing some really great locations lately. Helps that they are using a new country and an underutilized region in the Yucatan.

Interesting to see a KOR this late into the season.

I don't think this leg needed the "90 minutes", it could've been more tightly edited, it could work fine as a 60 minute episode , with some of the fat cut out, like the wait for the HOO.
The house color ARI was extremely challenging. Was annoyed that teams that finished couldn't cover their work.
I found out recently that I quite fine with caves, so really enjoyed the cave RB.
The penalty was understandable, it was getting on haybales levels of frustration. But the fact that it was only 10 minute penalty feels like a joke.
Loved that teams had to basically power walk to the pit stop. Must be frustrating for teams that this was a KOR, when they were expecting some down time.
