I'm not fond of likable teams all around. I much prefer seasons where there's a really obnoxious a-hole and/or really evil villains. They make formulaic reality shows like this one more interesting. This current batch is like watching The Brady Bunch run the race.
I thought that music/movie challenge was one of the most frustrating challenges of all time. Fair, but frustrating. But the speed bump given to Kevin and Michael a couple of weeks ago was the stupidest in the history of the show. Sit on a block of ice for 10 minutes. Like, WTF? That's the equivalent of two traffic lights on the way to the next task. A waste of time, and very unfair to all the other teams that didn't come in last the previous week.
BTW, I AM sad Studio 23 no longer has that "live" simultaneous with East Coast broadcast. It was nice to have that option during times I was home at that hour.
