I'm skipping around seasons, now on season 5.
Why skip?
There's lots of flashbacks and references to previous seasons, especially as the series goes on.

I originally wanted to avoid the beginning Bec the quality was terrible. So I picked a random season, 11. Then I decided let me try an find an earlier one with decent quality, so I'm on 5 now

The problem is that they often have repeat racers, all star seasons, repeat tasks, etc.

You'll lose a lot of context jumping around.

Do you think going straight from season 5 would suffice? The earliest seasons just have terrible quality

Shabbos
I think that the Belkins are MO/Shomer Shabbos? Met him once here, but other Clevelanders will probably know more than me.

Anyone still watching?

I really don't like the new format.  My favorite part was to watch them book flights and Be strategic with their day to day planning. This gave the opportunity for big leads. Now it's challenges and basically dropping them where they need to be
