Who did that? That is just horrible that I have found that out. My home city may now NEVER be visited now.

I honestly think TAR24 was the beginning of the end. The whole route was really weird, most people were unhappy about 3 time returnee teams, none of it seemed particularly difficult. All-Stars should have the difficulty ramped up, instead it was like "find a shop" "count some steps but not really, just get told the answer" "shave a balloon in 60 seconds""jump on a board for a minute or two and get a clue" ???

TheBayAreaGuy:
An awful decision by production to ban all team interactions after checking-in that turned-off a lot of long-time fans. This caused more contrived fighting and ugly interactions between teams. If two teams disliked each other (eg. Joe & Bill vs everyone, Tara & Will vs Chris & Alex), it happened naturally and it was a story-arc. Now, it's just forced by producers. TAR used to be one of the few RTV shows to not give in and it's unfortunate that they did.

The producers is constantly implementing changes to keep the production fresh.

For one thing, teams are now kept apart during the mandatory 12-hour rest periods between legs. Not only does this keep players in the dark as to the finishing order of the other teams in the previous leg, but it prevents them from bonding, thereby ensuring they remain cutthroat and competitive.

How is it forced either way? I don't understand your point, TheBayAreaGuy.
