If it had gotten rid of Maria/Tiffany, Zev/Justin, Sam/Dan or anyone who wasn't a dating couple, I would have been so pissed....but it got rid of a
potentially boring team, so I'm cool with it.

Whoever thought of this should go to hell. For pulling that stunt, the least the show deserved was being denied any usable footage from that couple. They
should have immediately walked away without even approaching Phil or doing any interviews.
I hope CBS orders more seasons, and then right before a new season starts production, they say "Just kidding. You're cancelled." |

They should restrict this challenge to borewhores, and then in an awesome twist boot whoever finishes 1st.
Great way to curbstomp boring wins |

They should have eliminated the team last to eat the wasabi. Jesus that Japan leg was just as pointless as the right-off-the-bat elimination.

Eliminating the last person to win a roulette spin would have been ludicrous. Jesus I'm glad some of you aren't in charge of these shows.

NO ONE LIKED THE YOGIS ANYWAY. They were in my Top 5 They were so street.
That task would have been better if it had just determined the flight order First time a team was eliminated on a non-elimination leg?... If you want to be pedantic (and I do, yw), there was an Amazing Race Israel leg where a team got 'eliminated' because of ill health, but it was officially a non-elimination leg for the stepdaughter-stepdad who came in last. |

Great beginning twist that only needed a time element where more than one team could be eliminated for being incompetent at an extremely easy task.

I thought the immediate boot made for an exciting beginning and this a television show meant to entertain not to provide dimwits with free trips. But I admit they were gracious in their loss. |

I think that after the last season, where you wound up with over half the teams misreading every clue that was handed to them, this was a big "F you" to the teams who couldn't look at the symbols on a piece of paper and find their match on the wall. I bet everyone will be reading things alot more carefully after being put through that right at the start. |

Thank goodness this twist wasn't in TAR13 or else, it would be 1000x more boring than it already was.

hopeless situation (whoever survived among Aja & Ty and Marisa & Brooke in NZ would've been toast in Cambodia anyways and Anthony &
Stephanie/Anita & Arthur - biggest cannon fodder the show has seen). Sure there was the laffos and yes, I am aware of the full exaggeration, but still, the
TAR 13 cast isn't home to some of the brightest bulbs.

I loved it! The answer was right on the clue! If they couldn't figure it out, then they don't need to race.

I know Survivor and most of these shows have an alternate team or contestant in case someone drops out right at the very end before filming. Maybe this
challenge was designed so they would not need an alternate team. Instead of 11 teams and one alternate, they have twelve start but knock one out right away.
If someone does drop out they just drop the challenge and go with the 11 teams. It makes the alternate part of the competition rather than just telling that
team sorry we dont need you.
