These rules are such BS. The USA team should've been penalized more for cheating in stage 1. Also, I hate when they "time out" on a puzzle and get to proceed. No, you should have to solve the puzzle before you can go on to the next checkpoint. Only giving the UK team a 5 minute head start for winning stage 1 is BS...should've been a bigger lead it wasn't worth breaking down your body for such a slim head start. Also sucks that since they had more weight USA's gurney broke.

Stage 1 was brutal but a complete waste of time. Might as well have not even carried the gurney and got in a good nap on the trail to prep for the next day if the max penalty would be a 5 minute delay in phase 2.

Stage 2 was lame as hell. I didn’t like Leroys game this year but holy shite they completely fricked him. He CRUSHED day 1. That setup was basically saying “Leroy ain’t making it to the final stage”

At least the team US numbers got their final defeat. Wish Tori would’ve been there instead of Dee.

Yeah this was a super poorly conceived challenge Finale.

So your reward for winning the most challenges throughout the season and having a larger team is to carry MORE weight with the same number of people (4) at a time as the other team who get to carry less??? Ridiculous.

The time penalties felt completely made up.

Poor Leroy got hosed.

I want to get back to the good ole days of having a male winner and female winner. Some grueling finale and race. Even if it’s performed in stages and have cumulative times or head starts.

Guys vs guys.
Girls vs girls.
Three guys make finale and compete against each other.
Three girls make finale and compete against each other.
Simple.
