I also thought it was odd that they started the episode mid race.

Episode just felt off. Not excited about the BB crossover and the all Europe itinerary. May not be watching this whole season.

I thought it was fine, with some interesting challenges. I thought they made it pretty obvious how long the flower challenge took, without the number of tries. It seemed like most of the teams did not have much trouble stacking the cheese (one side seemed to be flatter and stacked OK). The human bowling was funny. I think at times the producers under or over estimate how hard the challenges will be - especially before they get to know the cast.

Ugh, not reading the comments above yet. I realize I forgot to record the show and I canāt seem to find anywhere to watch the first episode - the one streaming I donāt have is Paramount plus!
you can watch on the cbs website
They did do the #attempt at the ice bowling task.
While the start was different than the usual official start I felt like it picked back up and took off as usual.
I donāt understand why these pairs arenāt any different than other pairs we donāt know at the start of a show. Sure, some of them know each other but also that usually only pertains to one half of the pair since the āpartnersā are largely family members we donāt know.
I thought the flower task was CRAZY awesome - and when the lights went off!
BTW, there are physical tasks in Big Brother too in addition to laying around the house. 
But also so much of the tasks being physical on AR makes for a more even playing field of the teams - there are some more fit, some younger/older - that kind of thing.
Super pumped to see two of favorites Tucker and Rubina (on different teams but were a couple - I think they have split up now?) Tucker is probably my most fav BB contestant and his brother seems to be very kind (and also as good looking!)
I ended up having to pay to watch the episode on Amazon Prime! The CBS app kept erroring. 
But the DVR is now set for the rest of the season.
RIP Tubina. Actually they were together longer than I guessed

Two really DYNAMIC personalities - can you imagine them together in a room or home?!
