Why wouldn't they let Pita wear his traditional opening ceremony attire? That's criminal, criminal I'm telling you. But it was still nice to see him. And Rebeca Andrade.

The French suits...I can't decide whether they look like space suits or giant marshmallows.

I love this crowd.

And here's Olivia with the Spanish flag :cheer2:

I guess I'll post this here in case anyone is still following the 2021/2022 doping case. No surprise but Valieva's second appeal to the Swiss Tribunal was dismissed. Case closed. Full court document here (in French)

I'm not a fan when they cast BB people or Youtube influencers among a cast of regular people, so imagine my reaction when Phil announced that every team had one BB alum in it. The European adventure sounds decent, certainly better than the family edition, but still kind of meh. Long distance...

I was rooting for the Swedes or the Japanese to take the 4th spot, but I had a feeling politiks would help a certain team I'd rather not mention. Congrats to the all teams though.

Happy with the winners, happy with the runners up, happy for Ana for getting through that water challenge. True, the finale was a bit anticlimactic but many finale episodes are, so nothing new. I'm glad this didn't come down to who had the best taxi driver with access to the toll lanes, etc...

The finale is tonight so I guess we won't have to wait long, but damn did they really need that cliffhanger? The editing can be tricky at times. The broken tile could easily not be a problem or even if it was, they could very well be ahead enough to make up time. I hope it's Alyssa and Josiah in...

And then there were 4. It seems like the detours were far enough from one another that teams really had no clue what their placements were this leg. Josiah and Alyssa seemed shocked to be second. Surely knew they weren't last since the boys were following them before they got lost, but I think...

I did not expect an NEL. It's been a while. I had to go back and re-listen to Phil announcing the pit stop to see if he said "the last team will be eliminated" or "may be eliminated" but turns out he said neither. Smart. I think if he'd said "the last team may be eliminated" I would've...

That I remember, penalties for breaking rules have varied a lot. The only set penalties are for skipping a roadblock (4 hours) and skipping a detour (I think it's 6 hours now, used to be 24 hours way way back). For taking a taxi instead of walking or taking another mode of transportation, the...

I can't even begin to describe how much I despised Jonathan in this episode. Babe, you chose the wrong task! Why did you choose this? This was a big mistake, YOUR mistake. You're making us lose so much time. Not nearly as much time as they probably lost being stuck in that ditch, where Jonathan...

"That's my girl!....and by that I mean my sister" :rofl: I'm finally up to date. Took me a while to catch up. I've had Han and Holden on my "not great but not bad" list. They're both good at tasks that are purely physical but they've had moments where things went really wrong. I can see them...

I'm not lying when I say I might require some of my "use when needed" propranolol after I read this and completely forgot about tomorrow's (aka today in half of the world) date. You got me real good.
