Enjoy the show!

This city sprint sounds interesting... Phil basically told them helping another team would be stupid right now.  |

The married couple is lost.
I hope they still make it on time.

This last task is the hardest of this leg.

This music task is a killer. Nobody is getting it...

Finally Hung and Chee make it to the horses. How much you want to bet Chee gets the songs faster than footballers! |

Will and James had two out of four right, but they don’t know that. Let’s see if intuition kicks in for them.

Will and James go to the others to ask for help and now they're all going to work together so Gary and DeAngelo are left swinging in the wind. Nice.

Trying combinations but disregarding the order. They should bring them up and when rejected swap 1 and three.

Yippee Riley and Maddison in first, for the moment.
Omg Footballers barely contributed to the alliance, and they are crying about other teams no longer feeding them the answers.

Yikes, DeAngelo is pretty bitchy about being last. At least Gary enjoyed the experience.

Wow what a sore loser DeAngelo was. I never expected that.

Wow, DeAngelo, bitter much? "The money wasn't life changing, I could have paid to do all this myself without the challenges." He says he's never doing the show again. Aw. Sad.
Then why the hell did you agree to do it? Bye.

Brothers have won a lot already, Will and James will be their toughest competition. Chee is brilliant, very fast even while multitasking, I don’t know, but I wish them all the best!

I didn’t care for this episode; found it rather boring as it seemed rather linear.
I did feel badly for Gary and Deangelo when everyone was teaming up. Well, more so Gary...Deangelo has always had a petulant streak which he showed to full effect on the mat.
I don’t mind when teams help eachother out a bit but the alliance was too much this season. At least theoretically it shouldn’t be in play next episode unless they all join hands and skip to the mat together or something.

And yet another episode where the alliance ruined my favorite show. It's not that I wanted the footballers to continue, I didn't. However, I really hate seeing them all work together. Just do your own work.
In theory I liked this new city challenge.

I couldn't believe that this late in the race they were all screwing up because they didn't read the clue correctly! Have they learned nothing! This task went on forever, and they probably had the right countries fairly close to the beginning but put them in the wrong order because they didn't read the clue. Sigh! It will be interesting for D'Angelo and Gary to watch the show back and realize why the other teams excluded them. I'm guessing they will be surprised to discover that it wasn't because they were threatened by them. I actually like the final three teams, and I'm glad that they are there; but I do think that this alliance approach has changed the game forever and not in a good way.  The finale should be interesting, though, with three such strong teams competing. I have no idea who will win. It's always such a crap shoot, anyway, with all the things that could go wrong. |

The footballers weren't my favorite team, but I almost wish they beaten Will and James( hey babe, good job babe) James is forever telling Will how fabulous he is. I find them a little vindictive, and a lot conceited. I do love the beards, and Hung and Chee but the alliance is bugging us both. I normally like all three at the end, this time, not so much. |

I really, really hope they can do something to squash this alliance crap in future seasons. Watching teams walk over and literally give other teams the answers so they can eliminate another team is NOT what this show is about and it's not fun to watch.
No wonder this season sat on the shelf for a while.

I have not enjoyed this season. There were too many yields too many U turns too many twists and too many alliances. The premiere seemed very promising but it really went downhill after that . The Amazing Race doesn’t need alliances, like people have helped each other in past seasons but this season was way over the top with alliances .
Of the F3 teams I hope Hung and Chee win. Even though they were in that alliance I do still like them.

They lost me this season...I quit watching a couple of episodes ago and have been checking in here to read up on what happens each week. This doesn’t seem like the same show that I used to love.  |

No wonder this season sat on the shelf for a while. We think Phil tried , when they got to the pitstop, if anyone can see a difference in this show, it's him.. It wasn't a good season, and I really don't care who wins.. |

It's the same thing with Big Brother (Huge alliance in the beginning with elite players, picking off anyone not in their alliance). With Amazing Race, I was sorry to see them turn on the blonde sisters a few weeks ago, those girls were always excited and happy in spite of everything. Compare their experience to DeAngelo & Gary (well at least Gary enjoyed it).....The alliance was to big. Two or Three teams working together throughout the game, is better than 6 teams. |

I was wondering if they wanted to get several more seasons filmed before anyone saw this and got any ideas of taking the same approach. |

I enjoy the travel aspect, especially during COVID lockdown.
Poor Deangelo - He needed a snickers bar.
The rest of the teams were spouting how superior they were - um I don’t think so. There were times when underhanded conniving replaced ingenuity and skill.

Yeesh DeAngelo, what an A-hat for being such a sore loser. Nice of him to point out how rich he is. Boo!

Yeesh DeAngelo, what an A-hat for being such a sore loser. Nice of him to point out how rich he is. Boo! I can almost feel what he is saying tho... This was one of the worst seasons for me, granted I never saw the first season and all, but I hated the alliance and I hated how much hate they spewed. I think that DeAngelo felt that, and I cannot blame him for his bitterness. I am glad that Gary had a good time, I liked him. I wish the blonde sisters went further they were my faves. I hate to say it but I am sure the boyfriends win, and that would be the worst for me. The only thing that can clam is that they put together an alliance, and frankly without them I do not think they would have done as well. I wanted to like Hung and Chee but lord, she started to get on my nerves and her reaction of 'thank gawd' at the end or whatever it was in regards to the NFLers clinched it for me. I guess I hope the brothers win, they were not AS bad as the rest. Good on Phil for trying to point things out them, and being in your face about it.. I hope the next season is better this one left a bad taste in my mouth, mostly due to the boyfriends. |

I am disliking this season more and more. Hate the big alliance. While I admit that it has been VERY effective at eliminating other teams, it has done so in a very nasty and vicious way. Also in a very illogical way. In the past, people used u-turns and yields to try to get rid of stronger teams. This season teams were targeted simply because they were not "one of us".
It also seems like this season has a LOT of yields and u-turns; a lot of negative tools. If they want to continue that, they should consider adding in more positive tools to help balance out the negative ones. Perhaps let each team start the race with one fast forward or express pass. Or maybe limit how the u-turns are used; maybe each team can only use a u-turn once, or disallow knowingly using the 2nd of a double u-turn on a team you know is already ahead just to block another team from using it.
