    I’m really enjoying Amy being a contestant on the show! Her approach to the railroad question was genius and I think her minigame trying to get info out of Sam is a really funny idea, especially since she can’t ask him directly and he doesn’t know.

    Despite the disclaimer video, which was quite funny, I still feel a bit icky about Canada being presented on the same level as the state cards. I don’t think any ill will was meant by it, but I still didn’t like having to take a second and work out how I felt about them doing it. I think I reacted against it because it took me out of the relaxed state of mind I’m normally in when I watch the show. I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, so maybe there is more discussion there.

      At least Canada is a “wild card”, so on a level with all the national parks or one of the long rivers because it connects so many states, not exactly just a state card. I’m wondering whether there’s a similar interruption for Mexico going to appear later, given that Sam wasn’t that far away from their flag when filming the Canada disclaimer in Toronto.

      I agree entirely that it’s great to see Amy on a full season at last and not just in one challenge or a special two-parter.

      Are there videos of other people making it look hot? Adam may have said he was crying and zoomed in, but he didn’t look that bothered.
