| Two episodes in a row, teams were being driven by the show's designated driver to the pitstop. This episode 4WD, last episode jetski and jeep. It took away the uncertainty of driving on their own or taking a taxi ... They could've gotten lost, stuck in snow, sand or mud, stuck with a clueless or overcharging cab driver, stopped by the police for driving too fast, or too slow ... which make the last drive to the pitstop more exciting. Teams should just drive more on their own IMO. | |

| on LEG 5 (Philippines) they were driven not only on the pitstop but they were driven to every location of the task, it's like this leg the TARA production team decided to pamper the racers a bit by giving them their own ride and a driver....
there's no thrill in finding a taxi or navigating for directions... | |

there's no thrill in finding a taxi or navigating for directions... i agree. that will also test how well the racers can navigate on their own. | |

| I think they probably just want to cut cost. Less number of uncertain rides = less production time = less production cost. So the network and sponsors need to step up. Come on AXN/Axiata/Hilton/Caltex/Sony! | |
