No, just strictly for the country of Mexico like how TAR Asia was a precursor for TAR Philippines.

What makes you say TARA was a precursor to TARP?

LEG 7 (Colombia --> Bolivia) / flight to La Paz
—Pays homage to TAR13's third Leg

What do you mean by "pays homage"?

That the Leg is similar to TAR13's visit to La Paz. :tup:

Well, I liked that leg, so I approve of the homage.

I wonder if an "All-Stars" version of TAR could have winning teams from each of the different TARs competing for a "world" title?

Both produced by Active TV but other than that I don't think there is any relation.

Awesome.

It would be great if they also did a world "All Stars" for the amazing teams that didn't win (the whole world needs to see the under-dog goddesses that is Lumilia)

Lumilia <3

But first

-Americans won't care about them because they're not TARUS
-Nobody but Australians would care about them because they're TARAus
-They'd kinda be predictable first boots imo :(

I personally don't see a winner here.... :stare
but that may just be my personal opinion.

Unless they all somehow befall terrible unforeseen circumstances, if you put x amount of teams into a race you're going to come out with 1 winner, it's a formula we've seen work more than 22 times now...

Unless you're referring to the teams in terms of quality/entertainment, in which case I saw if they were casted once then there must be something about them that could produce great TV.

If you're saying my cast may be unbalanced I would probably agree but that would be a result of using such a formula/caveat to choose teams
I've looked over your cast again, and I hope that Mark & Bill win! I must have not seen them originally. Sorry

Had a look at your list, and have to say I think it's pretty good, but somehow I get the feeling Ethan & Jenna would have the victory in the bag before the race even started.  :groan:

Not sure if anyone's said this, but TAR need to produce a season of first boots.

As there's been 20 teams booted first (excluding All Stars, UB & Family Edition), the teams on my list are the most interesting, most likely to cause drama and simply those that would have had a huge possibility of making the Final 3 had they not fell to the first leg curse!

TAR 2 - Deidre & Hillary
TAR 7 - Ryan & Chuck
TAR 10 - Bilal & Sa'eed
TAR 13 - Anita & Arthur
TAR 14 - Preston & Jennifer
TAR 16 - Dana & Adrian
TAR 17 - Ron & Tony
TAR 20 - Misa & Maiya
TAR 21 - Rob & Sheila
TAR 22 - Matt & Daniel
TAR 23 - Hoskote & Naina

(I would also put Eric & Lisa from TAR 15 on there, but they probably wouldn't return!)  :(

If this were to happen though, I doubt any team prior to Season 14 would actually be picked, as us fans apparently "Don't Remember" pre TAR 14 teams!  :res:

Apparently in an interview they said they wanted nothing more to do with TAR after such a shock elimination.
If you remember they didn't even go to the finish line for the season finale. So unless they knew they were guaranteed a spot in the Final 3 I can't see them return. :gaah:

This would be my ideal "First Boot" cast:

THREEPEATERS:

TAR 11:
John Vito & Jill

TAR 18:
Amanda & Kris

TAR 24:
???

NOT-THREEPEATERS:

TAR 2: Deidre & Hillary
TAR 13: Anita & Arthur
TAR 14: Preston & Jennifer
TAR 15: Eric & Lisa
TAR 16: Dana & Adrian
TAR 19: Ethan & Jenna (I loved Jenna on Survivor, and this is still one of the saddest boots I have ever seen idek why)
TAR 20: Misa & Maiya
TAR 23: Hoskote & Naina

The past couple of seasons (mainly TAR 13 and onward) have been horrible for me because usually the teams I'm excited to watch for are booted first :lol:

Yeah, Hoskote & Naina, Misa & Maiya, Ethan & Jenna and Eric & Lisa would've been so entertaining to watch I think...  :(

I'd actually like to see a winter leg in the South Island of New Zealand. Maybe with some tasks at Roundhill and in the Tekapo area.

Love the second route! The first route would be great if Liberia wasn't a double Leg. Basically a cheap Ghana, but with a cement and developing corporation, so that country would be good to "get creative".

I was thinking that one of the two legs in Liberia could be partially in the rural areas surrounding the city.
