The problem I had with this season is that too many of the tasks were subject to one team helping another by giving them the answer. That gave the alliance too much power.

The part that I didn't remember until I started rewatching was the quantities of those gross things that they had to eat. They had to eat huge amounts of food that would have been difficult to get down even if it was really good. The one season it was caviar; I can't remember how much, but it was pounds.I remember the old ones where they would eat gross things- little person Charla who had to eat an ostrich egg, or for fast forward shaving head. I used to love Amazing Race and watched all previous seasons earlier this year. I was very disappointed this season and don’t think it will be back.
I remember them needing to eat camel and live octopus! I also remember when teams needed to eat an two big pieces of Gino's East deep dish pizza in the finale and then continue to race. For anyone who has ever eaten two pieces of Gino's knows that it's hard enough to walk not to mention run to the finish line.The part that I didn't remember until I started rewatching was the quantities of those gross things that they had to eat.

They filmed this season from November 10-December 3, 2018. So the New Orleans date most likely would have been 12/2/18 or 12/3/2018. If memory serves me, the Wonder didn’t start sailing out of New Orleans until January 2020, so they missed it by over a year.Does anyone know when they were in NOLA for the final leg real time? Just curious whether it was during the time that the Wonder was cruising out of there.
They've had eating tasks since so I don't think it did much outside of no longer forcing people to eat a lot of food, then keep racing. It certainly hasn't convinced them to stop wasting food, as this season has shown.I think Boston Rob ruined the large eating challenges when he realized all he had to do was convince a few teams not to do the challenge and take the penalty and still not be eliminated. Of course the last team to be convinced not to eat was the one to be eliminated, but he managed to convince teams there was no way to finish the food. In fact very few teams were able to eat it all. The couple who ended up winning that race also changed how the roadblocks worked as the husband ended up doing pretty much all the roadblocks, after that the challenges had to be split evenly.
I don't remember the shaving their heads (Big Brother did that at least once), but at least hair grows back.
ESPN had a reality competition called Beg, Borrow and Deal where one of the tasks was for all four members of the team to get a tattoo. One person - Josh Gates, the Expedition Unknown host - got one on his heel... which must have been fun to deal with during the remainder of the show.The fast forward I remember that bothered me was the one where they had to each get a tattoo. Luckily it was a father/son duo that did the FF and they didn't mind getting the tattoos. But I thought something that permanent was too big of a requirement.

Throughout the seasons that was really nothing to what they've eaten or what strenuous activity they have done when they've had little to eat and tons more activity. That was hardly anything truthfully by comparison but I can understand how it may appear like a lot to you.All I could think of as a diabetic when they had to eat those beignets was what if a racer was diabetic?
I would have felt sick after eating all that sugar and carbs

This is true. A few beignets does not compare to four pounds of meat, or a timed eating session.Throughout the seasons that was really nothing to what they've eaten or what strenuous activity they have done when they've had little to eat and tons more activity.
