Hayden & Aaron (TAR 6) - Although they bickered a fair amount, I loved them by the end!

They were the only reason I bothered to watch the second half of that season which I thought was far worse than the first half.


Others mention Brendon and Rachel.  I always liked them, and I started watching this show as Rachel was on it (I liked her winning BB the previous year).  Some seemed to dislike her at the start as it was cross casting.  But I don't mind cross casting at all, I hate it way more when racers are just put on for their looks and not because they add much value to the show.

^ For me, I was neutral to Brenchel at the start but I think by the end of Episode 2 I absolutely loved them! :cmaslol
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

hmm I think I have a lot of this

The best I could remember is Jaymes&James obviously. I don't really like'em at the beginning. They kind a appeared strong but like "okay these two are gonna get lost, A LOT!"  :cmaslol :cmaslol Kind a remind me of Joey Fitness&Danny, from last season
But as the season goes by, I don't know I naturally just liked them, also A LOT! I guess the editing was what made me and a bunch of people like'em.

Bill&Cathi from season 19  :cmaslol :cmaslol :cmaslol
It still makes me laugh when I watch that episode in Thailand, after Phil said Amani&Marcus were team #1, out of nowhere, Cathi from beside is the most excited. she just screamed like crazy knowing she's number two. That's hillarious  :cmaslol

Gary&Mallory Mallory's reaction towards everything was just  :cmaslol :cmas23

Brook&Claire I don't know you just gotta love Brook&Claire  :kisses :kisses :kisses



Please Bring'em back:

I think Bates and Anthony would fit into this category.

At first, I thought, "Ah, they're the alpha males team, they're gonna be boring." But as the race progresses on, I grow to like them. They gave many random lulzy comments! :lol:

I've liked them from the beginning. I love their bonding with Caroline/Jennifer.

Abbie & Ryan
Ron & Chrinstina
Max & Katie
Amani & Marcus
Those are the ones I can think of from the top of my head of recent series. BJ & Tyler definitely grew on me back when they were on.

Oh and from TAR AUS I definitely have to say Paul & Steve.

Although they lasted only 5 episodes...Dave & Connor. When I saw them winning a leg,on crutches,without using a EP and without saying the word cancer on the episode,I couldn't hold myself.

Yep. To me , Dave & Connor should be placed here , just because of that Bali leg.

They won the longest leg in Amazing Race history. ON CRUTCHES

It's exactly the opposite for Dave/Connor to me.

I'd have to say Nick & Vicki. They gave the impression of dumb punks, but their stupidity became funny, and they just became more likeable as the season went on.

My opinion on Dave/Connor never really changed. I didn't really like them at the beginning and I still don't like them that much at all.

Ew. They were my most-disliked team the entire way through (but at least I had someone to root against). It was mainly Nick's fault.

Joe & Bill are my first ones on my list. As they fell behind in Thailand, I just had to cheer them on since they were then underdogs.

Another notable duo is Ronald & Christina. I didn't like Ron trying to "perfect" his daughter in The Netherlands, but once the rowing Detour in Croatia took place, I found to love them and they won three surprising 1st place Pit Stops... but then that changed when Unfinished Business was premiered. :gaah:

I found Nick & Vicki quite funny and entertaining despite their dysfunctional personality differences. I will never forget their hilarious edit during the first leg. Loved them like Peter & Sarah! I'm a bizarre little girl, aren't I? :snics:

C-c-c-c-combo breaker.  :'(

Also, Kelly/Jon. I remember disliking them initially because he was obnoxious, but as all of teams with nice people were eliminated in quick succession, I grew to appreciate their unique sense of humor.

I think Mona & Beth were the biggest example from this season. they were always the nice, sweet, lovely moms, but I began to like them alot around the Africa legs when I realized that they're a strong team, they don't complain, they're not annoying, and they rarely argue. Those are usually the qualities of a likeable team for me.

Fitness and Danny should OWE this thread. They are the biggest example of this.
