If they can do it, we can do it.

Slap Kent & Vyxsin technically broke a rule by not taking the pre-assigned flight: I get that. But they gained no advantage by doing so. What was the other option here? 'We missed our plane and we're not allowed to take another. Let's just sit in the airport until Phil comes out to eliminate us.' Penalties should hit on breaking rules that give you an unfair edge or which hurt others -- not for dropping yourself further back. That thirty-minute wait was unfair.

mini-Clap On the other hand, at least they knew they had the penalty then and there: hitting them with it at the actual Pit Stop... ouch.

Slap Unlike our last venture into truly high altitudes, the teams were given no warning or means to prepare themselves once they reached the summit.

Slap Search. Task. Ye gawds. Why not just give them an endless selection of keys and have to try to unlock each year while you're at it?

No Hand Movement Most Americans aren't going to know the Chinese year zodiac by heart, but the majority might know a few of the animals (if not the order). So there arguably had to be a crib sheet of sorts available to keep the odds of getting out from being one in 12! -- and that was just for spotting the symbols. Similarly, writing the names down on the wish cylinder was fine. Casting people who yell out every last one has been covered.

Clap Two Detour branches on a U-Turn leg which could potentially be completed quickly meant the teams hit weren't automatically Bottom Two. (It looked like the main issue was travel time.) Maybe you're starting to figure this thing out.

Slap Arguably a fun Roadblock, but there was one major problem: that hip assembly. Can you casually spot the difference between a good job and a bad one? How about after looking at the bone diagram? Because that says nothing about slide-and-lock models. You can't, can you? And the judge is giving no hints about what's wrong, it's not going to be spotted on an unknowing gaze-over, and no one on the course is an engineer. Take it all apart and start over, because finding that one small problem area is going to take longer than a total redo. Just too finicky for an already-difficult task.

No Hand Movement You can't control taxi drivers and their decisions to head for the wrong place or leave early.

Slap On the other hand, you could put a rule in for stealing someone's ride. It's sort of overdue.

Clap You picked a really nice building for Kent to jump off!

Slap Okay, is the Superleg the new NEL or not? The Racers have to be confused by now and we're not that far behind them.
