Another disappointing episode of The Amazing Race aired tonight. Overall, I've found season 19 to be a bit of a yawn. The show has fallen into a formulaic rut that's just been kind of boring. There's no drama between teams - although we have seem a lot of alliances and helping, especially this past episode (Snowboarders & Adventurers, and then a lot of teams offered help to the twins who were struggling with the Beach Preparation task.)
Everything has just seemed very formulaic so far. Get clue. Go to air port. Every one is put on the same playing field. Nothing exciting happens at airport. Arrive at destination. Read clue. Go through the motions. Yawn.
Plus, this is Leg 4, and we still haven't left that Oceania - Indochina region. I just checked The Amazing Race page on wikipedia and discovered we'll be in Thailand for the next two legs. Great. I feel like the past few seasons of TAR have spent a lot of time in that area. It's getting old. Admittedly, I am not exactly interested in that area of the world (more interested in Europe, Mediterranean, Africa areas) so these episodes don't exactly draw me in in the first place.
Hopefully it will start to pick up soon.
And I still insist that Neil Patrick Harris needs to go on the show. Because it would be Legendary.
