I don’t want to take the thread-creation duties away from the usual suspects, and I know it’s quite early to start discussing it, but I just found the best promo clip I think the race has ever had. This stunt took some real grit on the part of one racer (I think it’s Claire), continuing after taking a high-velocity, head-sized fruit to the face.
Since I haven’t even read through the new cast and know nothing except this clip, Brook & Claire have to be my current favorites. I’ll probably change my mind, but there’s where I am right now.
