Am I the only one who felt sorry for that falcon? Don't get me wrong: I like Tank, but the way RD pushed the falcon aside seemed a little mean-spirited. None of the candidates were outright jerks; they weren't cowards; they didn't cheat, etc. In short, none of them had any qualities (or lack thereof) that made me want to root for Tank over them. Sure, Tank had perseverence--a VERY admirable trait--but, again, the other candidates certainly gave it their all in each obstacle course. I can't even fault them for not going back for Rainbow Dash when she got stuck in those rocks, since they were too far ahead to notice and/or had obstacles of their own to deal with that kept their attention elsewhere.

On one hand, making it so that none of the competitors are outright antagonistic is certainly fresh and new, but it also makes them more pitiable when they ultimately don't come out on top--ESPECIALLY the falcon. All in all, I'm not unhappy that Tank ultimately won, but the falcon really deserved some kind of comfort, as did the other candidates. I almost wish they became Tank's circle of friends or something.
