This is not a race, it's a biography of a few teams.
I was excited about this show as soon as I saw the preview. The day finally came-August 14th. I started watching a 6am. I was bored after the first episode. I continued to watch (just in case things got good) and finally stopped at episode 3 when I realized this is as good as it's going to get. There is not enough footage of the teams facing the struggles and hard work of each leg. Instead we get too much up close and personal footage. Yes we want to know a little about the teams, but they focus on just a handful of teams and the special reason they are competing and repeat the same story/background/reason/challenge from the same handful of teams over and over and over again. So if you want to get to know the teams pretty well, watch it. These teams deserved to have had a better show filmed for all their effort.
