Wadsy:
Well, personally, I've never seen a season as great as 5 and 6 to be honest. Loved both seasons, while 7 is overrated (but still quite good), 3 and 9 are my next favs in the list. Seasons 8, 13 and 14 were the worst, and Season 16, based on what I've seen so far will probably join the worst bunch.

Seasons 5, 11, 14, 15, and 17 were my favourites! :cmas9
Seasons 4, 6, 7, 9, 12 amd 16 were okay. :cmas30:
Season 13 was the worst. :cmas12
I didn't watch other seasons esp. Family Edition ugh.
Here's my viewpoints:
Season 5- Third fav. Lots of good memorable teams but a boring final three. However the race locations are one of the best to date. Loved Colin almost going to jail and the ox task, Kami & Karli making stupid mistakes and usually finishing second to last, charla and mirna's tearful goodbye in Tanzania, zorbing, looking for scarabs, racers getting sick at caviar roadblock, phillipines climbing task, plus the argentina chocolate task and the burj al arab clue in dubai
Season 6-Loved the close finish b/t Kris and Jon and Freddy and Kendra, however Kris and Jon should've won. Stupid train. Lot of suspense and locations were awsome. Final three weren't really dynamic.
Season 7-Teams were great, though most of my favs all got eliminated before final three. Locations weren't all that good. Loved the first leg tasks, hard meat roadblock in leg 3 and the tasks in africa and turkey.
Season 9-Teams were okay but it was boring to watch BJ and Tyler and Eric and Jeremy always finishing in top two. But the flags finale task was cool. Cool places.
Season 11- Second fav. Race locations were a bit boring at first but got more exotic towards the end. I liked how any of the final three teams could've won the race. Finale was awesome. Loved the taxi flipout in Chile, the showdown b/t Charla & Mirna and Romber, Charla and Mirna going from 7th to 1st, the solemn momeent at the Poland concentration camp and the Malaysian and Guam tasks.
Season 12-Best locations during the middle of the race. Teams overall pretty likable. Liked watching teams struggle at the donkey task, Donald vaulting, teams struggling at camel milking task, 5 teams arriving at the same time in leg 3, and lithuania, croatia, italy, japan and taiwan tasks. Hilarious to see Nathan and Jennier never coming in 2nd several times, minutes/second away from 1st place finish.
Season 13-worst season to date. Locations were bad, teams boring, plus it was obvious who would win the race. Terrence and Sarah and Toni and Dallas were memorable teams though.
Season 14- fav. season, all the teams were memorable and likable. That said, any one on TAR 14 deserved to win. Locations were great though I wanted some African legs visited. Final 3 were dynamic and the finale kept me guessing who would win until the last moment. Memorable moments included flight attendants beating Preston and Jennifer to the mat for 10th place, the pie-throwing detour task, Tammy and Victor fighting, racers running in their underwear, Jaime and Cara finding their taxi, the India pit-stop greeter, Kisha sneezing, Margie and Luke and Kisha and Jen fighting and Jaime and Cara beating Kisha and Jen because Jen had to pee for a spot in the final three. Pretty much all the tasks were amazing.
Season 15-Loved watching drama between poker players and all teams, Mika refusing to go down the water slide, all of Dubai, Estonia and Czech republic tasks, the wasabi game, Zev and Justin losing their passports, the brothers beating the globetrotters in leg 9, globetrotters quitting roadblock, team zebra dropping their beer glasses amidst drunk Czechs and teams freezing their butts off at the kyrocentrum. Overall, great locations and teams.
Season 16-I loved the Brent and Caite and lesbian feud, tower/terra detour, seychelles, malaysia, singapore and china tasks. Top 3 teams were boring though I rooted for Dan and Jordan all the way and they won! Jet and Cord were great too.
Season 17-Best moments: First all-female team wins the amazing race, watermelon smash on Claire, the locals fooling around trying on sunglasses in Ghana, Kevin comforting his father during the bicycle parts detour, Chad and Stephanie getting engaged in Oman, the food roadblock in HK and the finale tasks. Most teams were likable and I love all the final three teams.
LOL that was long hehehehe

I also liked all the Final 3 teams. I loved Charla & Mirna and was so happy when they made the Final 3 as there were moments where it seemed like they were on the brink of elimination. Season 11 is also when I first heard of Dustin & Kandice and have loved them ever since. I love how Eric & Danielle made a comeback!
In fact, I love all the teams! I love how Rob & Amber were ousted by Charla & Mirna as well! (One of my favourite moments). It was just so epic. I mean, who would have ever imagined two legendary classic teams such as Charla & Mirna and Rob & Amber would have a footrace showdown?! :cmas18
I love it so much! There is never a day when I don't hear/watch/say or do something about All-Stars. I'm bordering obsessed, lol. :cmas30: :cmas22
In fact, I wish I knew of RFF and stuff earlier so that I could have saved the now-missing exclusive Insider videos. I'm dying to watch them! :cmas4 :cmas4
The cast, route and outcome were great! The race was just epic. I also love the Macau Tower Roadblock! :cmas16 :xmas146

As much as I hate semi-celebs being cast, I have to say that season 7 with Rob and Amber was my favorite. Rob rubbed everyone the wrong way, was extrememly mischievous and caused so much friction throughout the race, I tuned in each week just wondering what kind of stunt he would pull next. The casting department deserved an award for that casting season!!!!!!!!!!!! Who ever selected that cast was a genius!!!!!!!!! Drama! Unexpectability! Humor! Creativeness! Influencibility! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!! No season has compared since. Since season 7 the casting dynamics has gone downhill. The seasons now have small pockets of drama and less interactions between the teams. Today's seasons are like watching a travel channel video taping separate couples (teams) visiting a country, trying out a local custom and then continuing on a scheduled intinerary. I know that I am in the minority in this opinion, which makes this website a good forum, because all opinions are welcome. :<)
