Season 21 has one of the best narratives IMO.
It starts out pretty bad/slow but once they hit Russia it becomes the Amazing race we know. From James & Abba losing their passports to the infamous Twinnie U-Turn strategy against Abbie & Ryan to the Twinnies losing to the Goat Farmers shy of the F3 to the Goat Farmers taking the million in the end against a 3-team alliance. Just wow!!

Jaree on the train threatening to punch the guy out? Sad to say that's one of the only moments I remember from that season. It was really bland.
Actually it almost happened with one of the cheerleaders on Season 27 in India. The guys were all getting close to her while she was doing the biking Roadblock.

That Season 27 Roadblock was really uncomfortable to watch. I'm surprised they let a night leg in India happen in the modern era.

--- Quote from: RaceUntilWeDie on April 06, 2017, 12:01:01 AM ---I think the Season 28 premiere is underappreciated. Yes, there's no classic starting line.. Yes, it starts off very gimmick-y, but a night Detour, HoO, and a Roadblock all in one leg?! And all three tasks are actual tasks, compared to like, that Roadblock in 24's premiere (the weird one with the spinning nonsense).
And a big big plus to those who hate the new editing style: ALL ELEVEN teams are actually shown picking up clues and completing the tasks (I'm pretty positive on this one... I just rewatched the premiere the other day :lol: ).

Needed to quote this after Sesson 30's horribly edited premiere.
shitzophrenic:
Trying to remember something from one of the early seasons of TAR. From what I recall, it was towards the end of the season (maybe 4 or 5 teams left), and I believe they were in Asia. At the end of a road block or detour (but not the pit stop), the route info card told them to go to a location in a city that was a few hundred miles away.
It was late in the day, and the teams quickly realized there was no public transportation that would go to that city until the next morning. A few teams checked into a hotel for the night, but 1 or 2 teams managed to separately hire a private driver, or a mini-bus, or ?? (some sort of non-public transportation) to drive them to the next location.
I remember reading an interview with Phil (or one of the producers) after the fact saying that they had to scramble and barely got to the location ahead of the teams, and had never guessed the teams would be resourceful enough to use non-public transportation.
This is not the incident in Season 1 where 2 of the teams were able to buy train tickets but Momily (and Guido?) got left behind and ended up hours ahead.
Thanks!
