Why the Amazing Race has lost its magic
Moo:
I believe this week's episode brought back old TAR. Gotta hand it to the producers!
And a point of opinion, we have seen in previous seasons the taxi racing, or too much dependence on taxis, could it be that it was the team's decision to take taxis all the way instead of riding buses or the metro from recent seasons (12, 13, 14, some 15)? I thought of that once I saw Brian and Ericka and the Globetrotters take buses and metro to risk their placements... - which completely made a GREAT SHOW.

Why did they change the epic music? Even in TAR 13, I looked forward to listening the awesome score. Now, not so much...

Yep. It certainly doesn't feel right.

This. I miss the old music now. :'(

Speaking of taking public transportation and cutting costs, I think teams should do that, from the starting line to LAX. Either that, or start in some place near LAX, saving money from using cars.
I just don't find it interesting to see teams drive to LAX and book tickets there, and think the race really begins when they arrive at their first destination.

well, for once, they can't risk the exposure of the race beginning, so public transportation is out of the question. And I think the drive to LAX is the time when teams finally realize it's on. I wouldn't mind seing the race begin in the first country, but it would probably lose the effect of a real start and a real finish. It works for other editions because teams are from different countries, but I thinkbeginning and ending in the U.S. is a vital part of the original edition.

Another problem: Casting. The growing number of "celebrities" or those on the "fringe" of celebrity status.
Probably been mentioned before, but I needed a place to complain. :lol:
