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.

Not bad, I get good first impressions from pretty much every team. They seem energized and excited to be there, so hopefully they won't all COMPLETELY crash at the start of leg 3 like last season.

Episode 3, nice to see this country again after so long. I think this might be the most vegetarian/vegan teams on the same race at the same time, at least three of them were and balked at the Roadblock.

I tried so hard to find that first hotel after the flight, but I came up empty.

Episode 3

Episode 3, nice to see this country again after so long.

When I first found out that they might be going to Romania, it felt like such a treat since the country is so underused. The judge at the singing Detour had some brutal moments like saying how teams weren't singing Romanian at all or that some performances were as good as they could get. The Roadblock was not one for vegetarians. Elias & Matias also criticized the gymnastics judge for passing Metti & Hanna on what they viewed as an inferior performance.  :funny:

Nothing went well for Jani & Maria. First their cab driver takes them to the wrong statue, then they struggle at the Detour, and finally they quit the Roadblock.

Episode 4

The book task and Detour didn't play well to TV since it wasn't apparent to the viewer what was wrong. Gymnastics were last week, so Dracula was going to be this week. In all honesty, getting locked in a coffin would terrify me. The Super Legs continue their streak of having teams leave for medical reasons.

Episode 4

Nice episode, but sad to see one of my favorite teams to end the race. Dracula task was great, but it felt kinda low budget. I guess there's plenty of castles in Romania, Dracula book related, Bran Castle or some others if it was not possible to film at Bran's.

Incidents with taxi drivers in Romania have been interesting and eventful. I guess this will end in Colombia, I bet production is organizing their taxis over there.

Still liking all the teams, and kinda like even Metti. Metti makes things interesting, since she is a bit dramatic.

Episode 5

Good leg in Bogotá. Looks like Leg 4 was a planned NEL until the medivac with the inclusion of a Speed Bump this leg. Not sure why anyone would attempt the coffee bean task. Even still quite a few of the tasks this leg gave teams the opportunity for placement swaps. Also the director for the telenovela task was so extra to the point where Kaarina was giving it back.

Episode 5

Great episode, though they had eating task, but it was a quickie. I loved the judge at the telenovela task, great sport!

finamazing, do you know what "Viheliäät Vuorosanat" means? Google Translate can't make heads or tails of it.
