  1. Watched the Ashes, but I PVR’d Rush given I love travel.
    It was OK, but serious format issues already jump out – how much money a team has is presented as a big deal complete with itemised expenses and remaining $$$ – however the provided amount is adequate for the leg, so unless any remaining cash carries over to the next leg, why is it worth noting or spending story beats on the dilemma of slow transport vs. fast, if there is zero disadvantage to splurging? The show also required utter stupidity for any order change in the teams after meeting David, as due to the structure of the mission and lack of transport options post check-out, there were minimal chance for teams to gain/lose spots. Amazing Race this isn’t.

  2. Omg Rush!!! Nine must be regretting launching it and not having Ashes on main channel wherever possible. They coulda just run specials on nights there were no Ashes or Footy surely
