TAR8 being all in the United States is not actually a bad thing, because normal seasons of TAR hardly ever look at the culture of America anyway.

The important thing is that they only did it Once. Otherwise, I think it would be worthy of complaint.

Despite the 8 leg wins, Rachel & Dave were far from perfect as a team

I can't believe I haven't seen this deleted scene until now. They definitely would have shown things like this if they didn't win.

Dave & Rachel are one of my most hated teams, but it really annoys me when they edit the winners to make them seem nicer then they actually are.  I know it's so viewers won't be as angry, but it really takes away from the "Reality" and "Realness" of the show, when they're perceiving teams totally different from what they actually are!  :groan:

MOF, I think TAR20 had one of the least interesting, drama-filled cast ever with lots of deleted "extras". I still remember Kerri & Stacy's zero-personality edit, but were a riotous duo in the bonus clips.

TAR's best routes in my opinion are:

Season 3  (Scotland, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Vietnam)
Season 5  (Argentina, Egypt, Tanzania, UAE, New Zealand)
Season 6  (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Senegal, Hungary, Corsica, Sri Lanka and Xian)
Season 12 (The Netherlands, Lithuania and Croatia)
Season 22 (Bora Bora, New Zealand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Botswana, Switzerland, Germany and the UK)

Honourable mentions for:

Seasons 15 and 18

I recently rewatched TAR11 and holy hell, I loved every single episode in it.

Even though leg design wasn't the best (I'm not a big fan of the premiere being Fly-HoO-Detour-On Foot Pit Stop or the Poland 1 RB being unaired), the teams and drama really sold it and Eric/Danielle aren't as horrible on rewatch :lol:

Definitely hope the third returnee season delivers! (The gas leak season doesn't count.)

The RB was un-aired because the flight drama from before took up to much time and tbh I think it was linear anyway

TAR11 is definitely in my top 10 seasons just because of the teams. Eric & Danielle isn't as bad as Whiner/Kid and a few other bad winners, tbh they're just like a normal dating couple that we get nowadays.

TAR11 is one of the very few seasons where I at least enjoyed every team (even Kevin & Drew )-**) and would be okay-to-enthusiastic if any of the teams won. With the route, all the drama, and Charla & Mirna, I actually bought into the season's DVD.

The flight drama was so amazing. Dustin/Kandace had more than a 12 hour lead on the Guidos and Eric/Danielle at one point. :o

leg 4 was very amazing and dramaful... charla n mirna defeated rob n amber in the pitstop after even the task can't killed them ( also because the airport luck, maybe )

many airport drama n yield drama  ( who can forget eric/danielle whining & whining dustin/kandace & danny/oswald for yielded them... )

TAR11's drama and team really fantastic. (Airport Drama <333) But IMO, route and task were NOT that good. :P 4 consecutive South American leg at the start was pretty boring (Esp. First 2 legs except Charla & Mirna's meltdown in the middle of nowhere of the Desert :lol:) and then the Malaysia-Hong Kong-Macau and Guam-Hawaii combo is not good at all, I think it's lacked of diversity. The Mozambique-Tanzania-Poland was great because it provided drama and changed the scenery but the task were pretty bad. (All task in Tanzania SUCKS but maybe since because it's last minute and Poland 1 was super short leg! Even with the RB! Poland 2 is above average since I think that Intersection was super bad leg plan and killed the decent detour and RB)

But Charla & Mirna and BQ both made it to F3 is good enough reason for me to watch this over and over again. <33333

The 2 Poland leg in TAR11 was really bad in leg design especially in Poland 2. I mean Poland 2 leg design was one of the worse leg design in TAR history with FF and Intersection at the same time, the ridiculous bus sign up HoO with the departure of bus 1 and bus 2 are 4 hours apart, plus Poland 1 was a NEL with a 30 minute MFE penalty that Guido are automatic eliminated in next leg, and BQs are screwed in the Intersection once again (this time they have to wait 4 hours due to the bus 2 was departed 4 hours later). But entertainment wise, it was still great because of the sausage Detour with Charla & Mirna :lol:

Speaking of TAR11, I need a favour from those who have the TAR11: All-Stars DVD.

In Leg 10, when the teams are at KLIA to depart to Hong Kong; there is a scene that shows a close-up of a Malaysia Airlines 777 (MH72) at the gate. This edit happens after Eric & Danielle's "plane" is shown departing for Ho Chi Minh City at 09:05am.

This is the screenshot of the scene I am talking about.


Can anyone tell me the letters encircled?

Taken from forums.previously.tv site where TAR 25 original route showing below (link):

Quote
Aside: Doha and environs getting the axe for S25 sounds rather incongruent on several levels - when the Arabian peninsula hosted legs on near-consecutive seasons in the past, it did so from both directions, e.g. five eastbound teams in Oman during S9 versus seven westbound teams in Kuwait during S10, then eight/seven westbound teams in the United Arab Emirates during S15 versus six eastbound teams in Oman during S17. Given this supposed original itinerary of Denmark -> Italy -> Malta -> Qatar -> Bahrain (to overcome the intrinsic limits of a quasi-micronation as well as preserving the pan-archipelago route) -> Singapore and keeping the NEL sequence intact, it would amount to the same exact double-F6 round that Abu Dhabi and al-Ain already had just two seasons ago as opposed to the aforementioned precedents.

That was the reason why Qatar and Bahrain were both scrapped a couple of days before TAR 25 started filming, cited those countries were replaced and gave Morocco as their replacement leg within two legs into one country.

That's pretty weird reasons to cancel legs? ??? Anyway, it leads to good result as Morocco legs ended up being actually great. (Especially since it's replacement).

So any chance of Qatar & Bahrain on maybe season 28? Hard to see it on 27 since MERs.

Maybe. But I think Qatar and Bahrain might get visited in separate seasons just to ensure TAR have new countries very season given the unvisited countries are getting less and less over the time.

Finally peeled myself off the sofa after binging, and finishing TAR Canada 1 in one sitting.  :colors

And all I have to say is WOW! It's only my second time watching it, but it's up there with the best of the American seasons.  And even though they never actually left Canada, each Leg is so different in terms of the landscape / terrain, it might as well be different countries. 

The teams were fantastic.  The first time round I really didn't like Jet & Dave, but they really did make the Season.  I found myself in tears laughing at them most the time.  I think Holly & Brett were the only team I didn't really care for this time.  ???

Also, it was great too see that the Final 3 teams were stragglers at the back of the pack for the first half of the Season, and all the teams that dominated those Legs just fell and crumbled Mid-Race.  :hoot:
Though I'm still bitter over Hal & Joanne's Elimination!  :'(   (:;)  :iok
Definitely hyped for Season 3 now.  :trampb:
