Previous TAR Seasons Discussions
TheBayAreaGuy:
That was partially the reason but they're always been events that took place off-camera and inserted into the storyline.
The bigger explanation was production upset that the U-Turns went completely unused during S13 (one aired, one unaired) while in S12 it was hesitantly used and they thought the teams were too friendly even though it was not the case.
--- Quote from: ovalorange on December 25, 2016, 03:58:37 AM ---I thought the reason they kept the teams separate during pitstops was because they never got sports bra gate on camera in TAR 13. So production decided that in the future any and all team interactions needed to be captured on film, and therefore required teams to be separated at pitstops. I think I remember this being a new thing for TAR14, maybe someone can correct me if im wrong.
This recap might help jog everyone's memory over why sports bra gate was such an issue; the storyline for the Starr vs Kelly/Christy feud seemed to come from nowhere and the viewers were only informed about it from their confessionals.
But really if anything, I think separating the teams makes all the fights more transparent because we get to see it all play out in front of the cameras.

You're thinking of S26 when they allowed some of it.

Zack.:
I think 26 prevented it for the most part, with 3 (maybe?) exceptions-
1. The Pit Stop of leg 1 where they forced everyone into an office building to find a ~*love connection*~
2. The overnight in Nice which occurred during the leg, and
3. Both Namibia legs; Namibia 1 had teams legitimately camp out because Spitzkoppe has no hotels (<3) and Namibia 2 ended on Thanksgiving an I thiiiink sometimes production springs for what could be conceived as a dinner (I believe AS had one in Poland?)
28 had a lot of team interactions occur during the leg as well (Mexico City waiting for departure times, Geneva at the chocolateur, Armenia waiting for the sabre dance, Bali waiting for depparture times, etc) so I think that may be the new norm.
TheBayAreaGuy:
Those are exceptions (& limited anyway) including in S28.
In the Amazing Race panel at 2016 RTX during the summer, Joslyn told the audience that no interactions between teams were allowed when cameras were turned-off.

All of the times he listed were during the leg. So interaction would most probably be aloud.
