Ah, wasn’t aware this was filmed before 35. They must have been worried that back to back minimal travel would tank the ratings. We still have what feels like the most really bad teams in one show, but the travel together part makes sense even if it feels more boring. I’m betting most people watching didn’t know this was filmed before the last season.

Actually, it aired out of order because 35 was shot for 90 minute episodes and 36 wasn't. They knew CBS was giving them 90 minutes in the fall so they chose to air the show that was shot for 90 minutes then, and waited to see if they would return to 60 minutes in the spring.
For shows that have been on this long, the viewers will watch regardless. It's comfort food for their brain. "Back to back minimal travel" isn't going to kill the show at this point. The Survivor superfans are always complaining online about the "new era" of that show, but they still watch it.

Again, not much movement. Looks like Sunny & Bizzy are next. Then Yvonne & Melissa. The alliance is keeping all those teams in the game. It will be interesting to see when it falls apart, like the mine five.

The girl nurse staying to help was nice to see. totally saved mom and son.
I don’t know why that puzzle was so hard. Only 9 pieces and you know it’s a loop. Watching people put pieces up with roads going off the side and not connecting was laughable. Even without driving it’s two 3 minute attempts, maximum.

His form was so bad though. Pretty much everyone else would finish their throw with their arm out in front, aiming towards the bull. He would finish his throw still above his head.

It's tricky. The mom and son would have been at that race challenge for a while without the help on the puzzle. BUT, both the other teams are much worse at navigating and who knows where they would be without the son leading. They really do need each other.
But it was smart to have the mom knock out a couple challenges while they had this alliance. Might set it up for later for the son to do a bunch.

She was emotionally invested in Mom and son moving on. The alliance is committed to one another.
I thought that the football player Rod and wife were smart to join the alliance as they are benefiting from the son’s navigation skills. But will be able to outrun the other teams when it’s time to get to the pit stop.
