The TAR veterans all finish at the top of the pack ... well, almost all. Art & JJ ran an absolutely horrid leg and got eliminated.
Corinne & Eliza and Rupert & Laura were both also awful, but there can only be one team in last place. I don't foresee either of those teams lasting very long though.
The Afghanimals ran a solid leg and won it easily. Colin & Christie picked up right where they left off 15 years ago (and she actually did a road block, matching her total from their first race).

The last three teams were all so bad! I kind of wanted them all to get eliminated because they did such a bad job. I enjoyed the rest of it though. Loved Colin and Christie's nod to Colin's famous line from the original (my ox is broken).
I liked Art and JJ in their original season. Disappointed to see them gone. Won't be able to stand Rachel + Elissa, Corinne + Eliza, and at times Rupert + Laura, and Tyler + Korey. Don't care for Becca and Floyd as that was the only season I didn't watch. Interested in all the other teams.
Bret's screw-up was hilarious. How do you even do that hahaha
I thought Rupert and Laura were definitely going home first before this. They already surpassed my expectations.
I like all the BB and Survivor teams and hope they all improve. Leo and Jamal are powerhouses, I think they'll go deep again. Didn't watch Becca & Floyd and Colin & Christie in their previous seasons, so not too familiar with them.
A double U-Turn pushes Tyler & Korey and Team Fun to the back of the pack, but they still survive (pun intended) the leg, which sends Rupert & Laura (and surferguy) home.

When I saw the elephant task, I had flashbacks to season 5. So glad Christie did the challenge and didn't get a broken elephant!
Of the teams I don't have in my pool, I'm so far cheering for Nicole and Victor. They seem cool. The Afghanimals are great racers, but not a huge fan of them. Telling Nicole and Victor they were going the wrong way at the end seemed like a stupid thing to do. They were likely going to win anyway, they were #1 and #2 (and knew it) and they are just showing off that they are untrustworthy. Their fake argument in episode one made sense; this move, not so much, IMO.
I had no idea that prawns have such massively-long legs/pincers. So, that's something new I learned.
This week, the teams head to Vietnam for a non-elimination leg. Leo & Jamal struggle for the first time, but still manage to pull out a second-to-last place finish and stay alive ... but they would have stayed alive anyway.
Chris & Bret aren't very good at this but they live to see another day because of the non-elimination.
I can't believe that Rachel actually found someone more annoying than herself to be a teammate.

Based on the preview, it looks like they aren't travelling anywhere next week, so hopefully that means there won't be an obvious bunch-up, but I'm sure there will be.

Go Becca and Floyd! Not really my favourite type of episode. They are in Vietnam, and just end up doing everything in buildings. Singing and dancing. Boo. Go out and do something cool.
Singing and dancing challenges are my least favourite. You see the same teams doing them over and over again and it quickly becomes very boring! Although maybe a little more interesting than watching someone sit there with a fishing pole...
I loved watching them try to cross the street in Vietnam. That brought back memories. When I was in Ho Chi Minh City I once had a tourist police officer escort me across the street because he could tell I was too scared to do it myself!

The teams stayed in Vietnam this week. Chris and Bret made snowballs. A lot of people struggled to ride mopeds. Colin & Christie won their first leg in 15 years. Corinne & Eliza are horrible people and I'm glad I'll never have to see them on my tv ever again.

Terrible is being kind I think. They were two of the biggest b****s I've ever seen. Holy crap do they have a terrible attitude and I for one am glad to see them gone.
Hope they are true to their word and don't come back for the finale/reunion shows.

So happy to see Corinne and Eliza leave, and not just because I have Rachel and Elissa in my pool. R and E are annoying (and I picked them because I figured they would end up staying longer than they should just to annoy me) but C and E came across as horrible people. Glad they're gone and loved they way they went out, seeing their "enemies" surviving at the mat.
