I've said (elsewhere) that that first season was a perfect combination of teams, locations, tasks and story that no subsequent season has ever been able to match. One could not have done any better if it had been scripted.
The confrontation at the Tunis airport. The first leg. Immortal lines such as "It's Namibia, jackass!" Teams getting lost in the Sahara. "For two years, we lived in Paris." The final fast forward between Team Guido and Momily. The confusion that is India. Momily's decision to quit the detour in Bangkok. The final confrontation between Team Guido and the original Frats. The race to the finish between Rob/Brennan and Frank/Margarita. "I did it with my best friend." And the Guido edit.
No other season has quite managed to have so many memorable moments and personalities in so many different ways. :hearts:

If TAR has to visit more third world countries so as to save on budget, go ahead! Just keep the tasks ideas fresh, cultural and fun! :D
And i agree that they need to stop visiting the same place twice within like a time period of 5 seasons? *hint* *hint* SINGAPORE has not been visited for 12 seasons already. :funny:
TAR 3 is still the best IMO. (You all know why... 15 - 12 = TAR 3) :hearts:

I don't know what the 26 episodes idea is all about, perhaps Caelestor could clarify...?
But when I was discussing the shortening of the course, I meant a combination of the decline in total miles traveled per race (from an average of about 40,000 in pre-TAR 12, to the current 25,000-ish of TAR 15), the shortening of the number of legs in each race (12/13 to 11), the shortening of the number of Route Markers in each leg (since TAR 12, most legs have only visited the location of the Roadblock and Detour, with very few plain clueboxes that just lead teams to another destination), and the shortening of the distance teams have to travel in each leg (Remember the multiple hour drives and train rides? What happened to those?). All of these changes took place in Season 12 and haven't been undone since then. :groan:
I know - a very convoluted sentence. Hopefully it makes sense. :tup:
