rewatching season 1
mswood:
Really the only real problem with season 1 I had, is that I really, really missed Phil. But the locations starting with the very first leg all the way to the next to last episode (I did think the last episode was weak with almost nothing in NY city before the final task).
Kiwi Jay:
My take on it being different was because I started watching TAR from Series 3 onwards and missed out on the first 2. Seeing them was great but I feel they were only stepping stones and thats why I felt they were babyish. Because I didnt start from the beginning...Im a cheater :cmaslol
puddin:
I agree peach, Kevin and Drew running across the bridge at the falls rocked
Amies crying and barfing, and Paul's negative tude, glad they were out early.
I didn't care for Tunisia, and was with Drew on his take, too much sand.
Kevin and Drew also had some memorable quotes "swing you fat bastard..! and then Kevin I think said he left one of his balls rolling around the streets of Beijing during the rickshaw race with the Guidos :lol: , the race itself is only something that can be seen on TAR! What other show does that!?
The Guidos cheaping out on there fare after winning the Fast Forward and getting lucky not to get eliminated due to Momily's detour choice, not to do it then getting a whopping 24 hour time penalty!
Theres just so much to note such as the real first India culture shock, i was shocked! And all the places they went in India, wow!
Disappointed too mswood with the lack of Phil, I thought at least he would have been there to congratulate the final 3 teams and making the final 3 but no he only showed up to tell the fat bastards they had been eliminated, even so he truly seemed choked up for them.
Thanks peach for providing me with the links :kisses .. i still have EP 12 & 13 to get thru then on to season 2 :jam:
Dånooky:
I'm only missing 3 episodes of season 6 and I'll have seen them ALL mwahaha. At least ever since season 1 we know that skipping a detour is not pretty
TARAsia Fan:
Oh, and don't forget Phil's voiceover describing the race in the open! I think only one or two episodes had Phil-free voiceovers for the beginning.
Paul pissed me off and his attitude that he was only doing it for Amie and he didn't care showed me his character. And since then, hasn't Paul tried to cash in on his TAR appearance through acting and producing movies?
To me, Kevin & Drew made the season. I think the producers were thinking they might be "Ugly Americans", but they turned out to be the highlight for me with their putdowns of each other and their appreciation of the countries they visited. Momily was another highlight, but I think I had the proverbial crush on Nancy..... :mas25 :mas25
No, seriously that crush was on Emily. We haven't heard from her since I don't think.
Dave & Margaretta were such a nice couple and they set the standard for older couples on the race that pretty much continues to this day. I'll miss Margaretta. RIP.
And just for one more time, LEN-NEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! :cmaslol :cmaslol
