Episode 10: Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a beautiful place!

Alright, so this is probably the worst season ever, with all the "hours of operation" and the contestants and stuff... I absolutely do not like it at all. I have a theory that the odd-numbered seasons are much better than the even-numbered seasons, and I certainly hope it is true for the next season...

One of the things that made last season great was the lack of these mid-leg bunchings. I think it's because of the introduction of the Yield, which would be meaningless if they do a mid-leg bunch. I guess that the producers now realize that the Yield is used very infrequently, they just bog that down to 3, put them in legs with no mid-leg bunch, and then have lots and lots of bunches in other legs. Or maybe they had too much trouble coming up with legs that have no mid-leg bunches? I don't know...and many tasks last season were done at night, so that's something else that's missing this season.

Among the last 6 teams, my favourite was Lori & Bolo (alright, so I didn't have much to choose from, quite frankly), and I liked Adam because he had this same awkwardness that I sort of have as well. But then Lori & Bolo are eliminated, and Adam is just becoming annoying, so there goes the rest of the season.

One positive sign for this season: I'm glad that they are venturing into these "I-wouldn't-think-they-would-go-there" countries. Senegal, Ethiopia, and now Sri Lanka. Excellent.
