Me too.
Tivo wouldn't have caught it because the seasons are all named with the number appended.
So aggravating. Survivor does the same thing.

Art Crawl!!!
It is, isn't it? I think that Top Chef is the same way.
But I agree - the couples I like all made it (and did well) and I'm very happy with the Philiminated couple. Also, the laughing yokels sucked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay the internet! That was a great episode. Many teams seem competent and likable, so that bodes well.
What I don't understand is how those rickety things were the traditional cheese-carriers! And I liked that people made it work, even when it wasn't working. I heart Mel White.

The out-of-shape couple were damn smart to use those carriers as sleds instead. They weren't so smart when they couldn't find the pitstop, though.

Because books.
The locals did seem especially nasty about the cheese task. I'm just not sure why everyone didn't roll their cheese down the hill -- it didn't seem to matter with the ones they dropped.
Also, who the hell decided to build the cheese-making building way up that hill, but store the cheese at the bottom?!

Yeah, using it as a sled on purpose was smart.
Also, am I wrong, or did they do both of those tasks basically before lunchtime? That's a hell of a day.

I was wondering if the teams were supposed to figure out that they should roll the cheese instead of carrying it. Isn't cheese rolling a thing? You know, in Europe?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It looked to me like the cheeses that rolled went pretty far out of the way, so those teams wound up carrying them about the same distance anyway.
Cheese-rolling is an annual competition in Gloucester, UK in which contestants attempt to beat a wheel of cheese down a dangerously steep hill. It is fracking INSANE. And awesome.
