TAR24 (aka fake All-Stars) is the the worst season by a long mile and it's not even close. A terrible cast, awful route, and even worse tasks. No effort put in by production. A lot of the fanbase left after that.

I'd like to nominate S22 and S23 for both being particularly bad.


Both S22 and S23 suffer from mediocre casting decisions. S22 has Dave/Connor, but most everyone else is completely boring and forgettable. S23 has Leo/Jamal while nearly everyone else is unmemorable. The routes in both seasons are honestly bland. The first quarter of S22 is essentially French Polynesia/Indonesia. The back end is lame as well with the Switzerland and Finale legs. I enjoyed the Germany/Northern Ireland legs though. Looking at S23, the route spent a lot of time in Western Europe and the legs themselves just didn't feel all that great. I do love the 2nd Indonesian pit stop though.

For how bad S24 was, I think these seasons were a precursor for what was to come

34 is my new least favourite, just completely sanitised and bland

I kept falling asleep while watching 34. If I wanted to waste my time watching a season with no substance, I'd watch Amazing Race Canada.

TAR34 is the worst but it's still miles better than half of the TARCAN seasons if we are considering also international seasons.

35 might be just as bad if not worse with its sanitized edit and blandness along with a painfully long runtime and legs with almost no creativity. I'm completely baffled by how much this forum and everyone else is loving it.

The season we are talking about is Season 36. :funny: It's not bad compared to Season 35.

Anything post-S32 could count as worst. Poor leg design, bad finales, "vanilla" casts that feel like knock-off versions of old-school ones, and minimal drama. I'm in no hurry to watch any post-S32 season, and the best of the bunch (S35), still has flaws, but at least it had a good finale and a few interesting teams
