Worst Season
tullfan:
My vote is for season 19. Bland cast which was lacking in entertainment. The season was lacking in memorable moments until Andy and Tommy were eliminated because the cabbies from the other 3 teams were all working together.
Second worst is season 15. Bad twist of eliminating one team at the starting line. Three teams quitting tasks (Globetrotters, Tiffany & Maria and Mika & Canaan). Zev and Justin being eliminated for losing Zev's passport even though they came in first (glad that they were invited back for season 18).

Season 19 is the worst for me, hands down, no contest. Worst winners, dismal cast (excluding Amani & Marcus, Andy & Tommy and some teams who were eliminated too early and maybe Bill & Cathi), pretty dreadful route (excluding Malawi) and I actually did not enjoy any episodes other than the two in Malawi.
Season 16 comes in at a close second for me, with another pair of terrible winners. Leg 4, 6 and 7 were among the best TAR has ever provided, but the rest of the season was beyond lacklustre.
Season 9 became boring with the 2-way domination. Season 10 had a terrible cast (except Dustin & Kandice and the early exits). Season 8 did very little right (except the first three legs, which I enjoyed). Those are the worst for me.
It's almost impossible to look at anything but Season 3 in terms of the Best Season. I loved everything about it. Seasons 5-7 were the TAR 'Golden Era', and they were perfect seasons, except for Freddy & Kendra's victory.
For me, the best post-All-Stars season is Season 12, with amazing legs on Leg 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10, and even Leg 2, though I'd put it slightly behind these others.
Flamant:
Personnally, NOTHING can be worst than S16. The cast, the locations, and the tasks were just lame and horrible.
That said, I think that S15 comes second, the task and the cast were lame. The fact that FT/BE quit that easy task and were able to return in TAR18 just disgust me. Yes Maria/Tiffany, quit their Detour but it was not after almost a hundred of trys, not like the Globetrotters.
Now, I agree that TAR19 is lackluster. The route seemed interesting, but it just feeled repetitive and boring (maybe it's because in went just after the TAR18 awesomness). The team were not that interesting,I think that Bill & Cathi, even if thery're not the best old team, saved the season by being able to do 5/6 of the race. We went back to weak and early eliminated F/F teams, and I hate when a team dominate a season (even if its by luck). The only good leg was Panama. Good tasks and awesome twist at the end.
But I'm not with you saying that TAR11 is horrible. OK, maybe the route wasent the best (there were still Ushuaia and Poland <3), but the fact that Dustin & Kandice, Charla & Mirna and Oswald & Danny were in the final four was awesome. And I loved that flight drama in Africa (which, I think, was a bit missing in TAR19) with my favourites taking early flights.
Glamazon Racer:
TAR16 was very much awful. But the reason I rank TAR19 worse is because on TAR16, Legs 4, 6 and 7 were spectacular for me. but the rest of the season was awful!
How come Season 6 is an option in the poll for 'Worst Season'? In terms of the tasks, it was the best season... ??? The only bad thing about TAR6 was the winners, I think.

The reason I don't really like it is because most of the the teams are arguing couples, and most of the ones that aren't were eliminated early. It also was between what some consider the best seasons. I have that this problem with Season 4 also. It's also got a poor cast and is between the two greatest seasons.
