I suspect things like Brenchel unsuccessfully trying to steal the taxi during the finale were production's last-minute attempts to paint them as unlikable (tbh it would've been easier if Dave weren't making petty comments about Rachel every five minutes so...)

Also...I...dont' really like TAR7 at all

 :peek


Idk I found TAR7 and to the less extent TAR14 was pretty overrated. It just a very average (skewed to meh) season after going a rewatch.

In regards to TAR20 love I also want to say that Joey Fitness and Danny were amazing and I really don't see much love for them :(

I really liked them, definitely one of the best M/Ms of the post-UB pre-25 era and I was really hoping they got the Fast Forward instead of Davechel =/

I like them, too and if not because of that FF, they would go very far. But Davechel were too strong and beat them out :(

Not sure I'm alone in this, but TAR19 had a very forgettable final 3. I don't remember anything about Jeremy & Sandy or Amani & Marcus, and little about the winners besides Ernie (and Zac) hilariously complaining about the period costume they had to wear in Copenhagen.

One thing I will say about this season, however, Andy & Tommy deserved a place on All-Stars.

I'm okay with Detours with U-turns as the last tasks before the pit stop.

I like TAR26's Japan legs. The 90-minute premiere wasn't a waste in my opinion since I got to see more of all the teams. The 1st leg was underdeveloped, but not underwhelming. The 2nd leg was actually good since both detours are great and equally difficult, then the roadblock may be a bit boring, but it was not easy to do too!

Despite Max & Katie trying to be villainous, I still like them. :cheer: They don't seem so villainous in the end even though they mentioned their "unfriendly" strategy in Leg 1.

I think they were pretty much loved here? Only the casuals and butthurt Joey/Meghan fans hate them :lol:

Season 27 is in the bottom five for me, hate to say it but it is extremely sloppy. Even TAR26 with the blind couples was more exciting and imaginative than this bore.

My bottom five seasons in order of release:

8, 13, 16, 24 and 27

Dishonourable Mention: 10 and 11

My top five seasons in order of release:

3, 5, 6, 18, 22

Honourable Mention:  7 and 12

True. ^
The casuals hating them made them decline all-stars IIRC. ??? :(

27 > 24 any day. I don't think Justin & Diana were that bad in TAR27. :lol: :peek :hides The other season had a much more horrible cast.

1. TAR9 IS GREAT
2. BJ & Tyler were actually a good team

THIS x 1,000,000  :lol:
BJ & Tyler are probably one of my favourite teams ever.  :lol:

- Duke & Lauren are my All Time Favourite Parent/Child Team.


Finally someone who loves for BJ and Tyler, like me!

And Duke and Lauren should have another chance too.

Charla and Mirna are TV gold. I like them as viewers but tbh, their personality would annoy me if I was in the race with them.
