      There are no “happier to stop over” and kinder people in the world then Kiwi’s in my opinion. (I’m no Kiwi btw) I think it would be way easier then you think. One example: I tried to hitchhike away from the airport, which is way harder then from most places (if you are on a lonely road, people will feel like they got to take you, among masses, they feel like ‘somebody else will’.) Within 10 minutes a car stopped. The couple inside told us they worked at the airport and their shift had ended. They asked us where we were going, we told them our end destination for the day, some three hours down the road, and they said they’d happily take us there. They just needed a quick stop at their house to change. We told them they were crazy, that’s a six hour drive for them, back and forth. But they told us it was fine, “this is what we do in our free time, make road trips”. And so they took us there. Crazy. And it is just one of many examples. So, I really think this would have worked and be really easy too.

    I think a cool idea for a future season would be to fly to Reykjavik, Iceland, and then race to drive around the island…but in different directions, and you would leave challenges along the way for the other team (from a deck of cards or something so it’s fair)…so the first few episodes would be leaving traps for the other team and then the second half would be solving the challenges while getting closer to the destination, i think that would be fun

      And I believe that throwing a gumboot is harder than it looks as well, due to their unusual and floppy shape. Sam needed a few attempts to learn their physical properties as a projectile, but then he landed a quite respectable throw.

    To everyone asking why Sam and Toby didn't just skip the Wellington challenge, let me clarify this. The reward for that challenge IS specifically the 1pm ferry, which they don't get if they skip it. What that means is that Ben and Adam will actually get a chance to complete the challenge (because they still have to complete it), and potentially successfully completing it and making the 1pm ferry. This will now have the reverse effect and put Sam and Toby almost 3 hours behind because they will be forced on the later ferry. Really not a good idea to skip it.

      @@eaglecentury3409 this is true but its more of a high risk high reward, where I do think it would be useful to go for the risk since Sam admitted that Ben and Adam are usually the ones with a deeper understanding of the game, so if they know all the cards that involve buying something they can prepare for it, and since their first thought was the grape one it must mean that's one of the most prominent and likely one that would be pulled since they already narrowed down the choices. So if they were to just take those 5-10 mins its still a 20 min time save or maybe 10 with the drive which is ample time for them to catch up more and give them a chance of shooting them with the nerf bullet. Although, one thing I must admit due to them having a deeper understanding it does make it unfair to just prepare for the cards the first chance they get so I won't be surprise if they make it a rule where you can't get the item until you know what the challenge is.

    Roadblocks are nice and all but being able to place them wherever and whenever you want is pretty cheap. This episode alone has shown that getting hit with a certain roadblock and being unable to complete that roadblock hurts.
    If they are coming for the next game, they should be limited to the locations that are on the map, not the roads in between. And so to make playing roadblocks more risky, challenge coins should be awarded from them but they are half it costs to play a roadblock. this way, roadblock spam is countered by being able to get enough power up coins to eventually roadblock the other team back

    I recently had an idea for a season of jet lag that you might enjoy using at some point.
    Basically:
    The board is Canada. The teams start somewhere in the Maritimes - perhaps PEI.
    Each city among the top 50 largest Canadian cities can be claimed by traveling there, and doing a challenge. Once you’ve claimed every city in a province, you get the province. Two teams can claim the same city, but not the same province. Once you claim a province, you get point equal to the number of claimable cities in that province, plus two. So, since Alberta has five cities that are among the 50 largest Canadian cities, once you claim all five you get seven points. Ottawa and Gatineau together count as one separate province, worth ten points. However, you cannot claim it until you have at least three other provinces. The team with the most points after 96 hours (4 days) wins.

      They probably are the strongest powerup. That being said, there is generally no way to get a significant amount of coins *and* be in the lead(you can only put roadblocks while ahead). Getting coins tends to put you behind. Also, if you can't put too much of a stack in places where opp can take an alternative route.

      @@cooledcannon Sam has like 100+ coins and that was without much rationing too though. You can't take an alternative route if the opposing team using the roadblocks wait for you to be on the same route behind them before tossing them out - no escape for the victims.

    I cannot keep commenting to say that this level of meticulous and calculated game design in a gameshow is SO rare and its truly what makes everything genuinely tense and close, as opposed to when some TV shows edit stuff with dramatic music to seem like the teams are close but are actually hours apart. Well done! Every season is better than the last!!
