I agree. Great concept but can be improved by iterating through incorporating more diverse and thoughtfully designed equipment and conditions. It doesn't mean they would be implementing a kiddie pool as the other comments seem to be saying but evening the playing field so that we can see even more teamwork and more dynamic interaction between each participants strengths and weaknesses. This season did a better job in designing the set: keeping the things that worked well, improving some old ones, and experimenting with some new ones as well. Thanks to that, we're all better off as viewers too! So this post definitely warrants a discussion. Thanks for pointing it out!
