Wow, what a stressful two hours! The team swap was cool and the second leg had a good singing challenge. It was anybody’s game.
Team Extreme! Jen is clearly the alpha female on that team. “From the top!”

Hypocrite players like Big Brother annoy me on shows like this and Survivor. If they make a move to get ahead of another team, it's all just good strategy. But if someone does the same to them the response is "HOW DARE THEY!!!"
And yes ... that damn song is still going through my brain

Helping other teams should is really something that should be mutually beneficial. So that does mean Jen shouldn't have told Henry and Evan precisely where to go, but to be fair they didn't really ask. However, doing things like that and having goodwill with other teams was probably one of the reasons why Kristi and Jen weren't U-Turned b/c they should have been. They are the most dangerous team.

I just finished this double episode and I can't get that dang song out of my head..... This season has been really, really good. I can't believe Conor got the SUV stuck, but Cody glided on through.

But I hated that singing challenge just all the singing/dancing challenges that came before it. The judging was just as much of an arbitrary joke as it always has been. The last few teams that were let go still never really had it down like the first few that were given a pass.
I loved the idea of the partner swap and ending it with a "you're still racing" leg. If they keep the show going they should continue to have head to head challenges and parent swaps.
