I guess it was a nice show, but not my favorite at all. There are some pretty tacky elements to it...Such as the selfie cam. I hope there aren't too much more of these. The challenges were fine, and I agree that the whole love theme is not really catching on. But, later in the episode it hit me I guess you could say
The thing is...They are trying to tell a story of love around the world and this incredible adventure, and while it doesn't really feel like TAR should, it's something else. And when they were dancing under the Tokyo lights to that annoyingly catchy song...I think I got the sense of the story
Hard to explain
I think it could be better then we expect, but that said, it can also drive our expectations home. Going into it also, I thought one big redeeming factor was that we could see some Mark/Mallory type clashes with the blind teams, but I realized that the producers were actually TRYING to give the cast good set-ups and partners, so they might unfortunately work well together
