Best nth Leg?

TerraformingYou:
What is your best nth leg? Why?

Basically the question goes like this.. I'm somehow curious..

What's the best Leg 1 you've ever watched? Why?
What's the best Leg 2 you've ever watched? Why?
What's the best Leg 3 you've ever watched? Why?
:
:

And so on and so forth..

I don't watch a lot of seasons (started watching at S23, never watched any seasons prior to 18 (which probably means I'm missing out on the golden moments of TAR)), but I already have some favorite nth legs..

Best Leg 1: none atm, the leg 1s I've watched haven't been good enough, although TAR22 & 25 are up there
Best Leg 2: Season 23 I guess, not sure why, but I find it overall better than the rest of the Leg 2s I've watched..
Best Leg 3: Season 26, shows a different side of Phuket, Mike and Rochelle winning was unexpected, route and tasks weren't perfect but you get to really see and know the teams this episode.. It's like a leg saved by the awesome cast..
Best Leg 4: Season 25, race karma is insane this episode. Shelley and Nici breakdown was pretty ugly tho..
Best Leg 5: Season 25, it truly shows MOROCCO. Leg isn't linear AT ALL. Episode is intense. And the overall design of the leg was really good as well, and it all took place in Djema el Fnaa.
Best Leg 6: Season 18, the tea task was brutal.. And as a plus, it's bloody India!
Best Leg 7 & 8: Season 26, these legs go all nature after a leg in Monaco. The scenery here is beautiful, these are the legs which I love Matt and Ashley the most in, and although the tasks are linear, the music and drama in the episode was intense. Somehow, I was also touched by the eliminated team's elimination edit.. :(
Best Leg 9: Season 25, the fast forward battle! My heart was pumping. The massage actually made me cringe a little (notice at one point, Brooke starts laughing evilly as Amy & Maya scream in pain). Wrestlers carelessly sabotaging Amy & Maya's game. Never expected a Singapore leg to be THIS good. This leg showed that these teams don't just play safe.
Best Leg 10: Season 26, loved the bustling Peru! We also saw Tyler and Laura break a little, and Hayley & Blair winning is icing on the cake! The tasks were pretty grueling.. Everything except Mama's required a great amount of physical strength.
Best Leg 11: I haven't seen much good penultimate legs as well.. Hmm..
Best Leg 12: Season 21, underdogs (although not the best of underdogs) win, really shows how unpredictable the race is.. One of the non-linear finales.. The memory task really sent Trey & Lexi to a bit of sadness.
Best Leg 13: haven't seen any seasons from the SD era of TAR..

So what are your favorite nth legs?

TARloveit:
First 8 legs only because I can't really remember any other ones :lol:

Leg 13: Of all the season I watch that had leg 13 (5,11). None of them really impressed me. I hate that they're doing midleg traveling in FREAKING FINALE. I mean, seriously? Thanks god they change it to 1 city finale after 11.

RaceUntilWeDie:
I've only watched Season 17 and on so my range will also be pretty limited.

Best...

Leg 1:
Agreed with TerraformingYou. None have been particularly amazing, but the standouts for me are
TAR 18 (Australia) - Loved the twist when the second flight was able to pass the first flight. It was overall exciting because this was a great batch of teams! And the TBC on the first leg was a good twist.

Leg 2:
TAR 23 (Chile) - Midleg travel isn't necessarily my favorite but I LOVED the chaotic shoeshine Roadblock – at night!

Leg 3:
TAR 20 (Paraguay) - Challenging Detour AND Roadblock and it's only Leg 3! Brendon & Rachel and Vanessa & Ralph's feud heating up, Rachel & Dave missing 4th place by seconds, and Elliot & Andrew vs. Vanessa & Ralph to the Pit Stop!

Leg 4:
TAR 22 (Indonesia) - The Surfboard Roadblock was awesome and it gave us the iconic Oy Vey moment with Jessica & John not using the Express Pass!

Leg 5:
TAR 25 (Morocco) - I say this all the time but this is probably my favorite leg ever :hearts: a Speed Bump, Active Route Marker, Roadblock (+Shelley & Nici vs. Keith & Whitney), Detour, and U-Turn drama! Kym & Alli winning it was a big plus!

Leg 6:
TAR 26 (Monaco/France) - This was an awesome love-themed episode in a [not-much]love-themed season! The Roadblock was cool, the perfume Detour was awesome and different, and this episode had the best race-to-the-Pit Stop editing I've seen! Literally all 7 teams were driving at once and I had no idea who was gonna come in 1st.

Leg 7:
TAR 17 (Russia) - Both of TAR 17's Russian legs were great and chaotic. What made this one chaotic was the rules that kept being broken! The teams helped to make it enjoyable as well.

Leg 8:
None of the Leg 8's really stand out ??? Legs with 6 teams remaining tend to be the most boring for me, for some reason.

Leg 9:
TAR 17 (Bangladesh) - A complete shift in scenery from the previous episode. Featured the first Double U-Turn (probably the best one, ironically). It was great all around!
TAR 25 (Singapore) - A crazy leg with Adam & Bethany vs. Kym & Alli in the Fast Forward and Brooke & Robbie vs. Amy & Maya feud forming. The massage Detour will certainly be remembered. Sad ending though :(

Leg 10:
TAR 19 (Belgium) - For some reason the Waffle Detour has stuck with me. The Roadblock was :res: but the darker it got (night) the better the episode became :lol: Bill & Cathi's elimination :'(

Leg 11:
TAR 19 (Panama) - Tasks were okay but the cryptic clue for the Pit Stop saved this episode and had the best Final 3 announcement ever :lol:
TAR 21 (France) - Crazy penultimate leg. Natalie & Nadiya had so many opportunities to catch up (they did!) but they blew it. The music during Natalie & Nadiya and Josh & Brent's race to the Pit Stop was the best!

Leg 12:
TAR 18 (USA) - Not my favorite result but this is the least linear final leg and the final leg with the least :res: tasks out of the bunch (TAR 18-25)!

1st Leg: 21,22,25
