Best Amazing Race Season to Date
Carter:
I voted TAR 2 & 7
TAR 2 has one of the most epic intros I have ever seen, it's like a new fresh start from TAR 1 (which had slow pacing), the quick sunrise behind the mountains and one of the coolest theme music played, then pan to the Salty Desert Flats of Pahrump, Nevada. This intro gives me goosebumps, and some of the most memorable teams to ever compete so far participated.
TAR 7 because of the drama, the amazing drive through the mountain pass of the Andes (what a spectacular location), they never do these things anymore.. Meredith & Gretchen was an amazing couple, and I also remember the african leg where they had beds right in the middle of freakin' nowhere in the desert. So strange, and yet so fun. The sneakiness of Rob & Amber made it different and exciting.
If I could chose, I would add TAR 5 & 6 as well, but these two sticks out for me.
amazing race fan:
Season 10 for me. Dustin and Kandice were my favorite team ever on the show. I also really liked James and Tyler. I liked the route also. It wasn't the best route or best cast or best tasks but I just really liked season 10.
Season 5 was amazing as well. Colin was the most competitive person on the history of the show. No one will surpass him.
Season 7 was great as well. Best ending ever. I still am upset that Uchenna and Joyce got on the final plane.
AmazingRace:
I just rewatched Season 10, and I have to agree!
One of the best seasons ever. Amazing cast (DK <3), and awesome locations! :hearts:

Oceania is a region, Australia is a continent.

The idea of a region is problematic. Grouping people into one group and characteristics has its flaws. No one in "Oceania" says they are "Oceanian", rather they say they are New Zealander, or Tongan etc..
(Sorry if I got carried away I am majoring in Geography...)

Here's one where I think there is no absolute standard and both of you can be right. Oceania is a region centered on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Conceptions of what constitutes Oceania range from the coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific (ethnologically divided into the subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia) to the entire insular region between Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago. The term is sometimes used more specifically to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate islands or biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian ecozone (Wallacea and Australasia) or the Pacific ecozone (Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia apart either from New Zealand or from mainland New Guinea).
Now, for those of you who, like me, have never heard the geographic entity Wallacea before, her is what it is:
Wallacea is a biogeographical designation for a group of Indonesian islands separated by deep water straits from the Asian and Australian continental shelves. Wallacea includes Sulawesi, the largest island in the group, as well as Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba, Timor, Halmahera, Buru, Seram, and many smaller islands. The islands of Wallacea lie between Sundaland (the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, and Bali) to the west, and Near Oceania including Australia and New Guinea to the south and east.
Dom:
I've got to say, I dont really understand the hate for season 13. Ken & Tina, Terrence & Sarah and Toni & Dallas were all memorable teams. The rest were a bit bland but we were treated to Phil's dad along the way!
It also featured what I think was the.funniest moment in TAR history, the frat boys trying to complete the boot camp detour!
Sure its not one of the best, but I dont believe its one of the worst!
