They seem to have made a lot of rule changes since season 1. IIRC, in S1 if you didn't finish the race course by the end of day 2, you timed out. And survival camp (don't know if they even called it that) was 2 days, not 5.
At first I didn't like the change that said "No food will be provided" especially when that turned out to be a mis-statement. Food will be provided, but it comes with a cost. And it made the first leg a bit more interesting, even if I don't think it changed anything.

The forum has been renamed Race to Survive and New Zealand has its own thread.

I did the tourist thing many decades ago and went to a Door County fish boil. Just basic fish, potatoes and onions with cole slaw on the side. Plenty of melted butter over everything. It was delicious.

I put it a request to either rename this forum Race to Survive or create a new forum for the new season. I don't know how long that takes these days.

Maybe my perception is off, but when I saw the trailer for this series, I thought it was a comedy or a humorous drama.

Haven't seen the trailer, but it looks like the next 4 episodes are up now.

must have missed the ad for the show replacing TAR. Do you mean that TAR is being retired? Or is the show being advertised just a replacement until the next season.
The new show (I think it's called The Summit) is supposed to be in the timeslot after Survivor for the fall season, and TAR will return in the spring of 2025.

I think one team will be eliminated halfway through. They've done that in the past, but I think it was when the finale was 2 hours long.
So all season they've stretched 60 minute episodes to fit a 90 minute slot, but now they're compressing a typical 2 hour finale into 90 minutes? Geez.

Was it a requirement for the cabbies to NOT know where the final clue box was?

They're not making them alternate roadblocks this leg? What the hell?

There was a previous season where teams had to jump in cave/water thing like this. Maybe in Europe?
Are you thinking of Corsica?

The HIIs may be nothing special, but the immunity necklace is beautiful this season.

So it would be the third show, after TAR and Touch as Nails.
I've tried several times to watch Tough as Nails and I just can't get into it.

Phyllis may have had a slide projector. She's the photographer of the group. If nothing else, let's just give artistic license that it made a lovely scene with the family.
The family brought an envelope of photographs. I assumed Nurse Crane, who is a photographer, took shots of the photos on slide film to create the slides, and added in some contemporaneous ones of Miss Higgins that she (Miss H) provided.

As soon as Trixie spilled that alcohol on her dress, I started watching from behind my hands. Again, contrived much? Oh, we’re out of test strips. Really? Let’s let Trixie, who has been stumbling around like the walking dead, do something complicated with alcohol and fire. What could go wrong?
I assume she was wearing cotton or wool stockings. If those had been polyester, she would have been in the ICU (or historical equivalent), not mincing around in her pajamas complaining about the burn ointment.

This episode made me long for a good taxi driver.
This season has been beyond boring.

90 minutes of mostly watching teams drive around lost is not as entertaining as it has been in the past.

Poor Deirdre! The wounds on her back looked fresh, but they were supposed to be scars, right? She left her abusive husband before she knew she was pregnant again.
That made no sense to me. She appeared to have bruises on her face and a bit of a black eye, I kept expecting her husband to show up.
I don't understand the Matthew situation, either. I know he wasn't a businessman like his father, and the tenement buildings were an issue, but the family obviously had personal wealth. And he managed to lose everything, just like that? To the extent that they need to live on Trixie's salary?

Race To Survive: New Zealand
in Race To Survive
I think it's hard to tell how the rule changes will affect things, we've only seen one leg so far. But don't forget how often we saw the son of the father/son team vomiting last season.
There appear to be some major rule changes this season, so we're all trying to figure it out as we go.
One thing doesn't appear to have changed: a race "day" is 12 hours long. When the day ends, any team that hasn't gotten to the finish line must set up camp within 50 yards of where they are at that time.
Last season the legs were structured so that it was 2 days racing and 2 days resting, this 5 day "survival camp" thing is new. Also, all teams were supplied with some minimal rations at camp, foraging for food was beneficial but not essential.
