The season has been downright awful. The alliance has sucked all the fun out of the race, and as "villains" Will and James have had a certain fingernails on the chalkboard-ness to them.
This year felt lazy ever since the moment when Will and James abandoned their car in the middle of Berlin and walked to the next task when they couldn't figure out how to use the clutch, when the clue clearly said they had to park their car in front of the hotel, and weren't penalized. Somewhere Michael and Kevin are STILL sitting out their penalty saying, "are you kidding me?"
Maybe the time off with the pandemic will recharge the crew and producers so they can reinstitute some of the rules of competition and make it a more enjoyable experience in the future.
