Ice Bar+Epic IKEA Task that lasted for hours+ 5 k bike ride + Epic Hay Bale Task Tonight's leg? Go on an amusement park ride, play an amusement park game, fill 10 bags up with sand and push a lever, .2 km run and then hay bale task with people whining after an hour. I want more Switchbacks to show what low caliber the race is nowadays, compared to the earlier ones ... there's no skills but luck involved.

Sure, the Ikea detour was much more challenging than the detour for this leg, but the hay bales roadblock was easier in season 6. The route markers weren't buried in the the hay in season 6 the way they were this time.

Which means there were still 12 clues out there somewhere when Lena & Kristy were searching. But only 3 for Gary & Matt.

Yeah, but there were only 5 teams this time, so probability wise, they needed to have less hay bales to make the tasks equivocal.

It's been so long since they've had any tough mental tasks (though if they did the Globetrotters would end up falling about 5 days behind)

It's been so long since they've had any tough mental tasks (though if they did the Globetrotters would end up falling about 5 days behind) It wasn't just bears, I remember pans. But still, the fact that an IKEA task of all tasks can show the race is getting easier, tells you there are problems.
