When was first time you knew about The Amazing Race? And getting know about it?

I was bored so I made this thread, move if a similar thread was there anyway. Sorry for my mediocre English.

What was like your experience on first time you've known TAR and getting to know TAR?

So, let begin, I first knew about TAR was when in 2011, I was at Wikipedia searching for The Amazing World of Gumball article, and then I saw a TAR article listing popped up, and at first time I thought that TAR was about car racing. So, sometime later, I first watched TAR with season 19, which at that was airing worldwide (I watched it on AXN Asia) and it was on Leg 9 and I watched them do some tasks at a statue, then Lego Billund, then I switched the channel. Sometime much later, TAR 21 aired, and I only remembered that I watched Leg 6 and 11, and that's it. When I first watched Leg 11, as I wasn't a TAR fan at that time, for some reason, I randomly rooted for Natalie & Nadiya to survive the leg and was disappointed to see that they are eliminated. But at that time, I didn't know what the show was named, on either seasons.

Then years later, when I was watching AXN Asia, I saw an promo of TAR 23, and I was hooked. So, I watched TAR 23 religiously. And I rooted for Ally & Ashley even though they are weak and I didn't care for other teams. And that's time when I joined RFF. So thanks to this, I knew the show's name.

I accidentally watched an episode of season 5 in my local TV channel in Hong Kong, when I was only 10 or 11 years old

I was fascinated by queen Mirna  :funny:
Then I found All-star online later on and start to follow TAR since S12  :funny:

I was at my friend's house and their family watched TAR pretty religiously, so I watched an episode of TAR 16 with them and the rest is history. (I think it was the Germany Intersection one.)

Pretty awesome thread idea! And wow! It brings back memories!

Although I want to say I've been a fan since day one, I can't. I didn't have CBS for years, thus knew nothing about the show for a while. I specifically remember stumbling across a rerun of TAR Season 4 by accident on the Reality TV channel. The task in Italy with the masks. I was in love from that moment on and recorded reruns from this channel and possibly Travel Channel???? or some other channel. I was heartbroken when Dish Network took that DVR.

I first came across Amazing Race during season 5 (great one to start with) and watched faithfully until Family Edition 8. No it wasn't that awful season that put me off - at the time it was on in Fall 2005, I just graduated high school and we were moving cross-country from Ontario to Alberta, which was a big, stressful process. Last I remember is watching an episode of 8 on the motel room TV.

Just kinda forgot about TAR for a lot of years. Then when Amazing Race Canada came along in the summer between 22 and 23, that re-sparked my interest, and I gradually binge-watched all the way from 1-22. And here I am.
