amazing race fan:
Can someone give me an overview of Seasons 1,2,4,7,8 without spoiling the contestants and what happens? Just say if the tasks were good, locations, cast, drama, etc. Those are the seasons that I haven't watched.

                                                                                 Thanks,
                                                                                 Amazing Race Fan

Go in order...it is wonderful to see it that way.

I love seasons 1&2...

Season one is pretty damn awesome, but it has two elements I don't like.  One you only see Phil when you are last, so there is no real drama at the Pit Stop.  Second was the large number of production errors, but I do understand that it was very much a learning experience for the production crew.

Now I didn't want Danielle cast on all stars but Eric And Danielle, well Eric, actually ran a strong race.  They had two poor legs based on their performance.  We all need to remember how you end a leg doesn't always reflect how well you raced that leg.

In season 16 for example Louie & Michael won two legs which they actually took longer then any team that wasn't eliminated to complete, they just benefitted from not getting equalized. 

In All Stars that was also a factor.  With travel issues holding up some teams, and getting yielded twice.  One of those legs they would have won as they raced far faster then any of the other teams the other they would have finished second.  On the three legs impacted by traveling one they sucked at, one the did the days tasks fastest and one the did the days tasks second fastest.  On the intersection leg they deliberately, once paired with Joe and Bill, tried to be last or next to last knowing that Joe and Bill would get eliminated and it worked.

Now I can understand being upset about the casting of this team, I was.  And I can understand not liking them, as each person has different things they look for in teams the root for, but they really did a lot better then their pit stop placement shows.

Well I am with Peach......Season 1 should be next. It was such an experiment. Not only for the racers, but also for production. i just think you need to see it to understand where it started and the evolution of the Amazing Race since then. As you saidd before, the rules are different now than then. If you watch in order, you will see and understand why the rules have changed over time. You will see the abuses of some teams of the rules and know why the rules today are the way they are.
