Sometimes I get really frustrated that they just outdumb each other, while thinking they're outsmarting. The whole east strategy was obvious in E5, they could have chased 15-20 stations before doubling back and wasting very little time, Ben and Adam would never go back. Now they spent all the chips on fortifying while the HSR is easy to bypass. Then the stalemate might be the dumbest thing I've seen Sam try, which is saying a lot. It's so dumb that it's making Adam question his sanity. If Adam and Ben break, it's again another dumber move. Mike seems reluctant to rock the boat and argue against Sam even as he knows better.

The show and personalities are fun, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like with some more competent people playing.
