OKAY a lot of this has probably been discussed, so if it has I would love to see the posts because I really want to know what people have to say about this. Season 36 was a very interesting season, I liked it, especially the fact that they went to South/Central America!! However, It was very predictable and sometimes not very enjoyable.

First of all, Ricky and Cesar. I was rooting for them in the beginning. I like both of them and I think they deserved to win, but them winning so much was extremely boring and repetitive. It was so predictable every episode, and I think it would’ve been nice to see some of the other teams to win instead of them so many times.

Second of all, Amber and Vinny. Oh my GOD. They were so unbearable to watch. Vinny was constantly criticizing her and he was so horrible. In every confessional she was clearly upset and succumbing to Vinny’s manipulative tactics. I feel so bad for her and I hope she’s okay (I was yelling “say no!!” when he proposed).

Finally, Angie and Danny. I LOVED them! I really wanted them to win and I was so happy every time they got close to first place. They would’ve had a fair chance, but they got totally screwed?! It’s not fair that they got eliminated all because they lost their crew?? I’m so mad about this, because even if they took a wrong turn or anything like that, they shouldn’t have to wait for their crew. The crew should be keeping track of THEM. They have a race to focus on, it shouldn’t be their responsibility to keep track of the crew.

What did you guys think about this season? Again, apologies if this has all been talked about but I’m new to this subreddit and I want to discuss this. Thank you!

Phil did not announce that the first day would be a mega leg in advance. Or that there would be two eliminations that day. In the wide shot after Maya and Rohan are eliminated you can see Phil actually still has a clue in his back pocket that he didn’t hand to them.

Maya and Rohan were so feckless it seemed like maybe their elimination could have been a production decision because they were so far behind that they were going to mess up the logistics for the rest of the day.
