Worst Season

And please, I don't really mind recruited teams or crossovers, but can you get at least some team competent? No offense to Ethan/Jenna fans, but they seemed disinterested in the race, and couldn't try.

I have to agree with your comment. I thought the whole season was bland. Legs 1 and 2 did not impress me. Leg 3's Roadblock was good, but the Detour was below average. Legs 4 and 5 were dismal. Leg 6 was passable. Leg 7 was great. Leg 8 was borderline. Leg 9 was abysmal. Leg 10 was dismal. Leg 11 was passable. Leg 12 was abysmal.
Just my thoughts, but the whole season seemed to lack any suspense. I remember watching season 18 and every episode I was so nervous about what would happen next, but with season 19, I was barely interested. Add the worst winners of all-time (in my opinion) and you create a truly terrible season, in my opinion. I hope 20 is much better than 19... :duno:

Did anyone mention Season 16 yet?

It's the 3rd worst for me.
I actually did not mind Season 19, with first time visits to countries that people have been wishing for a very long time. It was as if the producers were saying... this one is for the fans! And come on, how can anyone not like any leg that involves baseball? :D
Flamant:
What was sooo good and unpredictable in TAR18 was the fact that each and every team (except 1, but who never won a leg) were all in danger of being eliminated (FT/BE in Calcutta, Zermatt and Rio, G/M in Australia and Austria, Zev & Justin in the 2 chinese legs and Zermatt, Kent & Vyxsin in Australia, China and Varanasi, etc.).
That was sooo missing in TAR19 where two teams were just dominating the whole race.
The other thing that I didnt liked in TAR19 was the complete lack of airport. They only took the plane 7 times in the whole race!!! (US-Taiwan-Indonesia-Thailand-Malawi-Europe-Panama-US). There were like almost no drama with the flight except Amani & Marcus getting out of Africa and maybe Laurence & Zac and Andy & Tommy from Indonesia to Thailand.
