Which Morroco leg?
Leg 6 had a very underwhelming roadblock and lacked suspense due to Shelley & Nici being totally out of it.
And leg 5 had amazing tasks, an awesome ARI and a well-placed U-Turn, too, but Keith & Whitney were really out of it? Even if they weren't U-Turned, they would've been doomed.

Leg 5 duh. Leg 6 was pretty eh sans Kym & Alli attempting to sing and Brooke bitching the whole leg.
Leg 5 was amazing though, despite Keithney being out! I would argue they weren't really out up until the Detour, but that entire plot of them vs. Shelley/Nici was just so well-crafted. Arguing with Shelley & Nici intersped with Misti knocking out Shelley's bike as a red herring followed with Shelley & Nici then gleefully running in their highest finish yet to the U-Turn board before cutting to commercial and giving true suspense over their decision? Sheer amazingness.

I still maintain that the seasons that embody the best of TAR are 2, 3, 5, 12, 17, and 25, with 1, 7, 10, and 18 a bit more flawed but close behind.

Anyone who hasn't seen TAR3/5 are missing out on the greatest seasons of Reality TV ever.

I mostly agree. I think those seasons are definitely the best. 3 and 5 especially at the top. 12 & 17 then 2 then 25 to represent the remaining potential TAR still has. I'd add 4 to the next tier as well.
10 is definitely next in line to the top tier, but the last Leg really drags the season down. 7 is so meh. Meredith & Gretchen are All-Stars, but the season overall is mostly cringe worthy. I'd suggest 11 over 18 as it's an overall much better season and cast in spite of the result. And TAR1 is such an outlier I think. It's of course the most classic, but the season just feels so different from what TAR2 even looked like. Just different editing and different Leg design of course being the first almost test run.
