 * Wanting to cut corners isn't always a bad thing, especially in this case where Leonard's team were to be the first eliminated anyways.


 * While some teams are similar yes, they do them in a few differing ways.


 * The Daters may be similar to Duncney in the sense that they're arguing couples but it's much different due to the Daters being more comical whereas Duncney ended in more drastic ways, along with the fact that the Daters resolved their differences while Duncan and Courtney just hated each other more.


 * The Stepbrothers are sort of similar to Amy and Samey since they're siblings who fight but the difference is that in Amy and Samey's case, one is meant to be a protagonist while the other an antagonist, while in the Stepbrothers' case they're just two people who fight a lot and make up. The Mom & Daughter aren't really that similar to Amy and Samey aside from Kelly's plot points being akin to Samey. It's less abusive in this case, it's actually resolved to an extent unlike Amy and Samey, Kelly is more comedic than Samey was and Taylor is less extreme in her portrayal than Amy was.


 * That's your opinion ig


 * I can't say they 'forgot', since in the case of the people you're referring to, I'm guessing MacArthur, Ryan, and Stephanie, their storylines being resolved any time other than near the end of their run wouldn't add up too much. The Daters were an up and down couple so naturally it'll take a long time for them to eventually have sorted things out while MacArthur is someone stuck in her roots of who she is and that's why it was so difficult and why it takes so long for Sanders to get through to her.


 * RR is a fast-paced format as much as the Amazing Race is. Character development isn't going to be paced the same as TD is.


 * Not really. Apart from running up the stairs, the teams have to search through buoys, drive taxis, and carry suitcases. None of the last three elements are in the first episode whatsoever.


 * Yes I agree, however they were still giving the Surfer Dudes at least something to be doing.
