"Perfect"

This season didn't start well, but it's been on a smooth road to recovery. This was the best episode yet, at least in my opinion.

The Road Block was tricky, rowing is not as easy as the professionals make it look. I found myself screaming at the screen when Big Easy had a mental lapse and couldn't figure out how to read a watch.

The Detour was even more exciting than the Road Block. The Gold was an easier option, if you could act fast and had the brains.

I couldn't believe the ending though. I can't believe Mika didn't take that waterslide and I was extremely disappointed to see Mika & Canaan eliminated.

For me, it was a bittersweet ending, though. Flight Time & Big Easy survived at the expense of Mika & Canaan.

A great episode! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope it continues to go uphill from here!moreless
