Let's start a thread to discuss the most epic moments in TAR.
Pretty high up there for me is:

CHARLA AND MIRNA.... everything about them is EPIC.

Flamant · « **Reply #2 on:** November 24, 2011, 06:19:09 PM »

The first two times that the two uturns from a double uturns were used (Bangladesh in TAR17 & Kunming in TAR18), the one in China being also epic because of the dinosaur task

Those were pretty epic, Flamant!

Here's one from one of my favorite episodes of all time: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9181/epict.jpg

And everything about Gary and Mallory is epic!

I am sure I will come with more after I think about this more, but for starters I nominate Dustin and Kandice driving past the olive mill at the North American Ranch in Idelssan, Morocco in AR10 that led directly to their elimination during the next leg in Barcelona.

How could I forget the finale of AR2 where Wil/Tara played cat-and-mouse taxi games after getting simultaneous taxis on the way to the pit stop at East Fort Baker. The result was Wil/Tara getting there first and starting a long run to the Finish Line. Alex and Chris overtook them and finished about 10 seconds ahead.

Colin using an ascender up the Lagen Wall near El Nido Island in the Philippines to overtake Karen in AR5.

The pullback in the AR7 finale into the jet-way in San Juan International Airport ordered by an American Airlines pilot to add Uchenna/Joyce to the flight which Rob and Amber were already on.

Kristy unrolling 100+ hay bales and not finding a single clue, a most statistically unlikely event, at Bogs Gard farm in AR6.

Definitely this one.

Anything Brooke and Claire did\said was pretty epic.

I thought Tammy and Victor's overarching journey was epic since they figured out how to work together. I also thought Kisha and Jen winning was epic for two reasons: 1) I didn't expect it to happen in a million years

2) They overcame their fear of water and 3) They justified Tammy and Victor U-Turning them in TAR 14.

Ari and Staella vs. the donkey in AR12 episode 1 at Cleggan Farm, Ireland.

apskip · « **Reply #11 on:** November 24, 2011, 06:51:45 PM »

The finale of AR14 at the ROADBLOCK with Luke placing surfboards against Victor and Cara. He could not get the final two and was overtaken by Victor (who went on for the win) and Cara (who finished second).

To be more recent: the footrace Ernie & Cindy vs Andy & Tommy in Malawi

Flamant · « **Reply #13 on:** November 24, 2011, 07:28:50 PM »

Charla & Mirna vs Rob & Amber ant the End of the World

Nothing can beat that.

Coutzy · « **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2011, 07:50:31 PM »

Brian and Greg flipping their car and coming back to stave off elimination. No other moment on TV has made me jump out of my seat, and it was then that I knew I wanted to be on TAR.

Who can forget Lance and Keri's elimination in Dubai

OMG that was the best! Mirna =

AmazingRace · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:43:31 PM »

Yes! The footrace between Romber and Charla & Mirna for me too was soo EPIC!!

Also Peter & Sarah driving lost in Kuwait for hours and they got eliminated and broke up indirectly on the spot.

Cocoa · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:47:52 PM »

BQs yielding Eric and Danielle TWICE. The second Yield in Macau is probably one, if not the best, best usage of a race power in the entire race history.

Best Loser · « **Reply #20 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:57:07 PM »

I think the very first yield was the best yield/u-turn.

To add to this topic, any moment from Colin & Christie.

Andre and damon moorco taxi thing that cuase their elimatoin

Reilly Queens · « **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2011, 09:25:14 PM »

Kami/Karli swimming to the pit stop
Heather/Eve arriving first with a 37 minute penalty and then having 8 teams pass them in that time causing their elimination

I seem to be the only one around here who hated that moment.

An epic one in a bad way for me was Lena/Kristy's final roadblock for obvious reasons.

Epic in a hilarious way was the Weaver's reaction to getting yielded for the second time in the race.

Prophet · « **Reply #24 on:** November 25, 2011, 07:33:58 AM »

I hated that moment too Saravannan.
