I like Seasons 1- 7's intros the best, once they changed the beginning, it didn't seem the same, but TAR 14 had a good one, but I don't like how TAR15 just used recycled images.


14 was all recycled too, broke our hearts...the Intro scrrencaps used to be the most fun part ever!

At least it's just generic B-roll stuff. Someday, some future season,  they'll probably throw in some red herring just to waste our time.  ;D

I love all the TAR intros :hearts: They maybe different, but they all get me in the mood for the show!

I didn't see TAR Israel's intro before and I think its quite awesome. :colors The music, with those voices, is kinda like survivor.

Did anyone not realise that the TAR1 video without the voiceover in the first post was posted by me? :funny: :funny:

I loved these intros best -

#1 Ann and Diane's dance move which almost synchronizes with the music, lmao!
#2 Black family's HIAAAAKKK in season 8's intro
#3 Teri and Ian's robotic TAR3 head-turn, priceless! :funny:

LOL, that's exactly what I thought watching Ann & Diane's shot in the TARA2 intro, it seemed as if they knew when their shot was gonna be placed and were dancing to the intro music :funny:

Umm...I dunno which one to vote for!

This music needs to come back to introduce the episode. It's epic and it makes for a great lead in into the intro. Currently, the music sounds frenzied.

Yes! Bring Redemptor back! I still don't know why they got rid of it, but it sure is ugly sounding now.

I liked the "let's change the intro shots every once in a while" thing they had going on in 14...too bad they let it go on 15.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

That is priceless! Even my family members who never watch the show just love seeing that! :mas25

My favorite intros are season 2-13, because it just felt so great, to me. I liked TAR14 because every three legs or so, the pics would change. They sadly dropped that for TAR15... :cmas13
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

That was terrible. I think they started with the intention of doing it the whole season (hence why Brian & Ericka and Garrett & Jessica actually had race clips) but then they got lazy and decided not to. It was horrid.

Wow, though comments. It's not that bad!

But the first season's intro was very different the fact that Phil says something
I like the new intro in a way. really cannot decide what's my most favorite of the intros

Israel's intro is my favorite. It is so epic. <3 And amazing, so it relates to the 'Amazing' Race.  :lol:

Israel has the best remix. The best montage is the TAR 2-13 intro.

The intro wasn't great, but the very beginning was cool with the new music.

But if the intro does the thing they did in TAR 14, then I will forgive it. :lol:

Really? Where? I thought I heard the low, frantic music in the preview.
But Redemption is the show's most memorable tune, after the main theme itself.  :hearts:

It was played when they first showed the bus with all the teams on it. Right before Brent & Caite were introduced.

#2 Black family's HIAAAAKKK in season 8's intro
#3 Teri and Ian's robotic TAR3 head-turn, priceless! :funny:

Kynt and Vyxsin had the best head snap I've seen out of all the teams.  :lol:

Teri & Ian + Susan & Patrick's eerie headturns/headshots FTW. :funny:
on a DVD commentary Lynn & Alex admit they had the Worst.Headsnap.EVER

I have to say that I always laugh at Don & Mary Jean's slow, inclinated head turn sparkling love and blinking like a Disney princess; Hannah and Margalit "welcome to the circus!"-esque scene and Dan & Jordan extremely frozen faces, but everybody is right: Terri & Ian's exorcist headspin is just hilarious!!

From my opinion, the best team scene is Maria&Tiffany, with the focus on the chips fading fastly to their evil, but brave pokerfaces in the background.

I noticed that. In the first episodes is a cementery and later becomes the bockground becomes in a train moving?
Weird...
