Wow. I'm pretty shocked since has actually been my favourite rr episode so far. I can't spoil why since I'm reviewing the first six tomorrow, so for now I'll just defend the things that you had a valid problem with.

About Junior and Carrie,  I'm not really bothered. That moment in episode 4 was mostly just meant to be a one-time joke, and I never saw plot potential in it. Besides it probably wouldn't have went anywhere and bearing in mind the age gap, all it would be would be the same tired and repetitive joke. We could've got another Rodney and I only really see this really really minor moment being brought up one or two more times.

Sure a cow pooped on Taylor but I thought the joke was fine. An example of a poop joke not being funny is the random a**-pull in The Bold and the Booty-ful where Gwen smears bear poop in order to paint a beard, and unlike a horrible moment like that, this poop joke seems necessary imo. Taylor was being moody and stubborn and has been spoiled all her life, so this random bad moment that happens to her made me laugh, not just for how random it was, but not needlessly random where I didn't see it being necessary. Taylor's interview reaction made it all the more funnier for me - "Ugh. It pooped. On. My. Boots"

The whole kicking joke between cadets, nowen, and stepbrothers was one I liked. Each pair was in the other's way, so it was mostly just an accident that pairs decided to laugh about and is a quick harmless joke.

I never expected Brody and Geoff to have a plot and I still really like them. A plot isn't the only thing a character needs to be good. I like these two not having a plot because that's what I think the point is. They know they're not smart as they follow any team in front of them to even know where they're going, they're not too competitive with anyone, and they're generally supportive and nice people. They're in there to have a laugh and fun, and aren't people who care too much about the race,  which is why I really like them.

Personally I like Dwayne and while he was pretty jerky in the fossil moment, he at least shown good motivation for keeping it to give to his wife as a present, so I definitely think he means well. Besides, him being unintentionally selfish is tossed right back in his face when he accidentally breaks his fossil.

I also like the stepbrothers and enjoy them fighting. They're both complete losers with the most juvenile insults and the setup for fights they have can be pretty clever and diverse. An example being in this episode where Lorenzo throws a coconut onto a pile of coconuts to break it but it instead bounces back, and hits his face, before Chet over-confidently says "Watch and learn", only for the same thing to happen to him, making Lorenzo laugh very hard, and then suddenly getting shut up by a coconut to his face. The joke is so quick with so much going on that it worked for me, and one of the reasons I like the stepbrothers.
