I was pretty disappointed that Joanne broke out the "keep fit and have fun" so early in the race and at a fairly mundane moment. It should have been so much better.
Pretty average first episode. It (not surprisingly) followed the American version formula very closely, which has become a little tiresome for the last few iterations anyway. I'll keep watching because I'm curious to see how it will pan out, but I fully expect that it will continue to be just like the US version, but with Canadians, in Canada.
And the commercials and product placement were certainly in overdrive. I guess that's a necessary evil.
