Hot take: Snake > Rail Rush (at least for me personally)

The pacing of this season for me has felt pretty boring honestly. A lot of it is just them going down a straight line and doing a couple of challenges. No curses on each other or anything like that. Six episodes into the season and the only major 1-on-1 conflict that the teams have had so far was the race to Taipei. Not to mention the honestly awful balancing in the coins. That one rock memorization challenge was 40 but a challenge about finding animals eating in a zoo or the colors thing being worth MORE was absolute BS. And that one boba challenge that was not balanced well at all, someone could've easily made hundreds of coins there.

Although Snake is far from the best season we've had, I still enjoyed it more than this season (though I'd say that circumnavigation was still worse than both). The pacing especially was a lot better in Snake than Rail Rush. That's just my two cents though, don't hate on me for this
