Aiello Family? (the old guy and his sons in law)

I thought so too. Tough way to go.

I stick with what I posted once. After paddling for a long while, having climbed against an alpha male, and after those peaceful words of the Filipina girl and getting a flower necklace, I still cry when I see Linda and Karen's elimination. It just... Hurts.

Oh my word, I completely forgot about their mat chat with Phil.  :(  :'(

Azaria & Hendekea instead of one of the season 14 teams would be awesome. I can imagine the siblings racing in UB. On the other hand, Nathan & Jennifer... did they break up after the Race after "hating each other with a passion?

I agree with Peach about Eric and Lisa.  So much goes into being able to take off to be on the race and then to never even get to race is beyond sad.

Aiellos was so unfair too. 

Carissa trying to be so brave and not cry still causes me heartbreak especially since it was my fault :'(

Yea I think statistically Bilal and Sa'eed and Eric and Lisa are the worst. At least Team Allah made it to a foreign country but Eric and Lisa got to travel about 200 yards  :'(

But on the other hand, Eric & Lisa's elimination was their own fault whereas Bilal & Sa'eed's was all their taxi driver's fault.

It wasn't your fault Tammy. Nobody would have expected a red bean would be that hard to find. You did great and wished you guys were in the final five and eliminate the Weaver Family! :'( :gaah:

My vote is the Gaghan Family from Season 8, and from this season, Dave and Connor. They cared so much about the race.

saddest elimination in my opinion is there a team that struggled hard but failed due to their bad luck.. not because a team that i rooted for is eliminated..

S6:
lena & kristy: 8 hours in a roadblock, and they were eliminated without finishing it

S12:
lorena & jason.. 'please, lord, give me milk!' lorena even finished that roadblock twice because the first one she drunk in front of a person who she thought a judge.. continuing on their next leg where they were u-turned eventhough they were far behind
nate & jen.. they want to finish first at least once and eliminated on her birthday..


S15:
zev & justin.. they even had to forget their first place reward..
maria & tiffany.. bad leg design where both detour were physical.. they were still standing on the detour as the sun set until phil had to eliminate them there

S17:
gary & mallory.. getting lost for an hour is really frustrating, let alone 8 hours.. and they were happy when seeing another car passed, giving them a hope only for realized they eliminated by minutes
nick & vicki.. vicki struggled hard to stay on that leg while nick single-handedly caused their elimination..

S18:
margie & luke.. 4 hours drinking tea is really not pleasant.
zev & justin.. a team whom they helped along the race were celebrating zev&justin's loss

S21:
abbie & ryan.. they failed to depart twice on their time on that leg only to realize they were u-turned

Nice list and race-wise reasoning. lilbro. :) Nathan & Jennifer's weren't as what you called sad though. By the time they finished the stone path Detour, if they had chosen to take a taxi to the Pit Stop instead of arguing for a weird subway & metro combo, they would have made the final 3.

As far as I could remember :
Season 21 : -Amy&Daniel. Probably the saddest elimination I have ever seen. And it was in Indonesia which is where I live. And also it wasn't their mistake on some level. I was so crushed.
Season 18 : -Zev&Justin.
Season 17 : -Gary&Mallory.
Season 16 : -Carol&Brandy .... LMFAO  :lol3: Just kidding!!!
Season 15 : -Mika&Canaan. well it wasn't really Mika, it was Canaan actually. They would have survived if it weren't for Mika's fear. Canaan seemed so crushed when FlightTime&BigEasy passed'em
Season 14 : -Kisha&Jen. They won UB later so I am happy  :hrt:
Season 13 : -Toni&Dallas
Season 11 : -Oswald&Danny. Although I was so upset when they cut a deal for money with Dustin&Kandice to YIELD Eric&Danielle when Mirna&Charla were happy to lend'em some.
Season 09: -Joseph&Monica. I was super upset because they got so close to make it to the final three,while The Skinny Hipsters (I forgot their names) made it (no,I didn't forget I just hate to mention'em)
Season 07: -Brian&Greg+Megan&Heidi
Season 05: -Charla&rMirna
Season 03: -Derek&Drew
Season 02: -Oswald&Danny
Season 01: -Nancy&Emily. Had they completed the Detour, UUUUGH!!!!
Please Bring'em back:
=======================================
MM: Jaymes&James; Mark&Bopper
FF: Caroline&Jennifer; Pam&Winnie; Natalie&Nadiya;
MF: Joey&Meghan;
Couple : Max&Katie; Abby&Ryan; Brendon&Rachel; Amani&Marcus;

thanks :)

i thought they took a cab after the detour to the pitstop.. and what is the difference between subway and metro? :D
but you're right, they were 5-10 minutes behind nick & don so if they had taken a taxi they would have been in final 3 :)

SEASON 15: Maria and Tiffany
A great F/F team spent the WHOLE DAY at the Detour and were eliminated without finishing it.

SEASON 19:BILL AND CATHI.
It was really sad because while they were in last, they reflected on what they did, and it was just a great montage and made me even sadder because Bill and Cathi is my most favorite team since Ron and Christina.

SEASON 20: VANESSA AND RALPH
Despite the fact that I like Brendon and Rachel too, this team was fun to watch during the fights. And it was absolutely sad that they lost by probable minutes, which was shocking considering they were really BEHIND at the Roadblock.

SEASON 21: AMY AND DANIEL
A strong and likable team destroyed by a horrible taxi. The best example of how taxis can ruin your time on The Amazing Race.

Subway's just a subway while a metro in Taiwan is a bus.

When I was young and had emerging hormones and more worked up when watching TAR, I remembered being devastated when:

Tian and Jaree
Kami and Karli
Lena and Kristy
Meredith and Gretchen
Gaghans
David and Mary

Got eliminated.

As I grow up, these are the teams which I think really has an unjustified and unfair elimination:

Steve and Allie
Nary and Jaime and Mark and Bopper cause TAR 20 is horribly lousy with linear legs.
Ryan and Abbie
