sunnyca:
wow cool, thanks for the links, people! :jumpy:
i suspect i'm not going to get much work done in the next few days, good thing it's a short workweek..
hey, didn't mean to be "ageist" here - i just meant in terms of # of posts!!! who knows or cares on the web anyways, long as there are no ax murderers on this site - which doesn't seem likely!
interesting about the different seasons being owned by different people. i guess since foxreality showed seasons 9 & 10 recently, they may own the DVD rights to those too.. and i have to admit i rented the DVDs from netflix, not bought them! but i did buy the amazing race game and My Ox is Broken! and would happily buy t-shirts or other TAR branded stuff if cbs sold them online!
TARAsia Fan:
CBS/Paramount sold the cable syndication rights of TAR 1-8 to GSN and then 9-12 to Fox Reality. They have nothing to do with DVD rights.

I always heard that part of the DVD issue was who owned what. Apparently CBS owns some, WRP owns some, and ABC/Disney?Touchstone owns some....
And then there are sales.... :duno:

I want to buy the jacket & bag for when I go to Florida, then run around the airport asking for directions to somewhere. Maybe I can start rumors for TAR 14. :sucks

Season six has always been my favorite, is now and hopefully will be in the future, I think it's underated. Here is my long post outlining my why...
The great things were the teams for one, a lot of homor and color compared to recent season people. The new twists & turns on TAR5 were amazingly increased on this season to a new penalty in regards to the Roadblock and the new double-length-leg bunching to me was a strong and very wise move to bring into the season, it was the first season to contain it.
I also loved the locations (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Hungary, France, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and Hawaii), better than any other season. The suspense was up there, no one would have been expecting the first non-elimination leg to be on Leg 4 because it was earlier on in the race, or even Leg 7 being the second of a pre-determined either. Any great team that was eliminated went out of the race proud of their success, especially the more lovable teams. Kris and Jon, even though they didn't win they always kept a smile on their face. The whole model thing and some good teams going out earlier didn't matter to me. The point is, I liked all teams except for Kendra, Freddy was alright.
-The task design was also my personal favorite for that aspect over all the other seasons. The Detour's and Roadblocks were just right on fun, interesting and especially challenging. I never got bored once while watching it. Lena and Kristy's elimination in Sweden because of a difficult luck-based task was a bit upsetting but they tried their best, that's the main thing, so as I upset when Don & Mary Jean and Gus & Hera when they were eliminated.
Also, who could forget the slave house in Senegal on the Berlin leg? A wonderful and emotional thing to experience or even see!
The homor was fantastic, the overused equalizers were awesome because the suspense was increased (at least they only occured near the beginning of a leg) and the TWO-hour season final was a brilliant masterpiece.
The first proposal took place in Xian as well by Aaron who proposed to Haydon (nice...!) And lastly, this season had a great feeling about it.
-I'll get another thing straight -- Jonathan and Victoria. Okay, so there were some very nasty times between them like in Berlin and during the eating Roadblock in Hungary, but other than that they were the most homorous (with Lori and Bolo right behind) and I loved watching them. I was actually quite sad after their elimination in Ethiopia.
There, you have heard my opinion. So my only negative was Lena and Kristy's un-derserved elimination and the winners. TAR6 = My #1 favorite, followed by Season 7 which was similar to this season then TAR5.
Here are my rankings from best to worst:
6-7-5-9-11-3-10-2-12-8-4-1
