Yeah, but then they kind of peaked out b/c TAR 6 & 7 I remember as being really hard. It seems like they worked them the hardest in those years. Maybe that's why TAR 8 was such a let down.

The Rb- Grab a clue from the Fountain of Wealth

I bet the racers wish the tasks are this easy  :lol:

I just visited the fountain of wealth yesterday. :lol:

You suck!

And I personally really have a problem with many of the food tasks.  I really don't care for anything that seems geared to make you vomit.  So eating large amounts of any food is out in my book or anything where the production has designed it where they plan on you throwing up.

But I don't mind them for Fast Forward awards as those are not mandatory tasks.

And there are some great tasks on every season, and some really easy ones to.  Take family edition, I thought they had a great final leg.  From the having to search the stadium without any clues to progress, to their highest spot the flag in the city task, to the great geography task, and besides last season i am really surprised geography isn't used more at some point during the race.

Prophet:
How about the ridiculous but famous eating task in TAR7? They had to eat four pounds of all kinds of horrible cow and pig parts in Argentina. This kind of thing seems to be geared for TV only and has no real value as a skillful task. I agree that these sort of stunts should be for Fast Forwards only.

I thought the TAR 9 final task was good as well as those for 12 and 17. I was disappointed in the final tasks for 15 and 16 especially, they did not seem to be terribly skilled based or anything more than a simple game.

mswood:
Nw I don't mind eating task that started season 10 (everyone seemed well after), or even the Octopus that Reichen & Chip ate where they were told they couldn't vomit.  But pretty much any task that causes the racers to vomit is bad in my mind.  Well I make one exception for the sausage in All Stars. 

Anything that shows us Charla sticking a knife down her throat, and giving us one of TAR's best funny one liners in Eric, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss California", as Dustin pukes her guts out.
