In recent seasons it seemed like they went someplace, did a detour and roadblock, and went to the pit stop. I like that they‘re having extra tasks (route markers) and extra places to find (the right ferry). And…they had two roadblocks as well as a detour on this leg.

Lots going on.

Reminds me more of earlier seasons before Covid. Teams often making their own travel reservations, bad taxi drivers, teams navigating on their own and getting lost, U turns. More old school The Amazing Race.

I like it.

Agree^^^. This last episode was one of the more enjoyable entertaining ones so far. Glad they are stepping up the pace with extra tasks.

We've always said the three things that will kill you on Amazing Race are:
- bad taxi driver
- not reading (and re-reading) the clue
- can't drive a stick

The last one is becoming more rare, but it is always fun when it happens.

This was the first episode of the season where I felt like it didn't drag a little. They actually filled up the time with content rather than just sticking with longer edits of the typical challenges.

It seems like the last few episodes have filtered out what looked like the weaker teams. My gut tells me that the bickering sisters are going to be the next to go. They shot to the front by figuring out the coin exchange quickly and then squandered it away almost immediately. They look like they've been on the verge of a meltdown for a while.

4 teams to be eliminated and 3 countries left before the trip home. I would guess that they'll spend 2 episodes on at least one of those countries unless there are 4 teams in the final episode with the extended time.

I love the dad and son team and am hoping they win. I don't like the father and daughter team - not because of him because he seems like a great guy but the daughter - so whiney and poor, poor, me. Calm down and listen to your dad. The other team that gets on my nerves is the husband and wife - she's another one that blames him all the time instead of herself.

Glad to see the sisters eliminated last night. Too much bickering going on between them. I'm not mad about the married couple either, and I also like the father and son team. I felt badly for the father/daughter needlessly climbing all those stairs, but it was their own fault for not being more aware of the signage.

I think this season is one of the best now that they're back to going more interesting places.

Exactly....the last two episodes were great....Germany and Slovenia.....

I like it best when they are in Europe.....

Not a fan of Asia .....especially Vietnam, Laos, Thailand...etc ....and also India...
and they seem to film there a lot...

I've started watching The Amazing Race Australia. They only tour Australia and yet it's as interesting as the worldwide race and all the teams actually get along.
