Congrats on Post #1000 :conf:
For TAR1-5, my favorite has to be TAR3 with TAR5 being a very, very close 2nd.
Both seasons had an excellent mix of teams, both had awesome boot orders! (YES!) But I'd give the edge to TAR3 for more memorable moments, at least for me. Things like:
-basket boats or basket bikes, or really EVERYTHING about the Vietnam Legs.
-Dieselgate
-"My pants are falling down!"
-Ken & Gerard almost getting run over by a train
-Heather's donkey faceplant
-the epic ditching by Ken & Gerard of the Wonder Twins-
everything Flo
-Teri & Ian<3
-Andre & Damon getting detained
-"Why did you have to take your pants off!?!"
-Teams running around, out of breath in the Alps
-Paper Underwear
-"What Happens If I Slip? Am I Just Hanging Off A Cliff?"

I liked all of the "pioneer" Race seasons, but the locations of TAR5 are just too amazing to forget. Charla and Mirna were great, especially compared to their nemeses, Colin and Christie. Chip and Kim and the Bowling Moms were funny, and though I disliked some teams, they weren't unbearable.
I liked most of the locations in all 5 seasons, with some of the most notable ones being Tunisia, Brazil, New Zealand, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt, and the Philippines. The Race needs to visit some of these locations more often/again, ESPECIALLY the Philippines (after the monsoon business clears up) and South Africa.

I always group the seasons like this: S1, S2-4, S5-9, S10-11, S12-17, S18 onwards. And my favorite period is S12-17. But to be honest, I have rewatched S5 the most because it's arguably the best season in the series. :hoot: It had a good storyline, good drama, great teams (both for being likeable and dislikeable), great tasks and locations (one of two seasons that visited the 6 continents). The only downside of it was the non-split of Roadblocks. But then again, I don't know how much better or how much worse it would have been had this rule been in place. ???

Linda & Karen would have won TAR5 due to Kim, Christie, and Nicole always forcing Chip, Colin, and Brandon to do all the Roadblocks. The bowling moms had pretty much an even split of RBs throughout the race. :hearts:
I agree with S11-17 being the best era. Hands down the most advanced in editing, awesome designed tasks with much detail, and teams being memorable for one thing or another.
