Worst Season

claude_24hrs:
Season 8 is truly the worst TAR season overall being a family edition stayed entirely in North America with routes mostly in the States with less air travel and frequent land provided vehicles.

Add to the fact that most of the route was in the southern hemisphere and you get a very lousy season with terrible winners/runner ups.

Season 6 has so much toxicity from the cast that even the beautiful locations can't save this season. Having some drama can be great but this season has too much and it hampers an otherwise decent season. Like Season 2, the winners were horrible.

Season 13 is just a strange season that holds no appeal to me at all. You had the first of the dominant winners and they were terrible to boot. I feel like they did Russia poorly this go around and was not a fan of this cast either. I look for relatability in a cast and I found no one in this cast that I could relate to. Not a great season.

My main gripe with Season 24 is the choosing of the cast. The over-representation of TAR 22 is just unbelievable and shouldn't have happened. I love Dave and Connor but perhaps they'd be better cast on an Unfinished Business season instead of an All-Stars season, even though they did well before they quit. Much better teams for season 24 could've been Jaymes/James, Andy/Tommy, James/Abba. Otherwise, I think this is an ok season.


Season 28 might be the worst and I just don't like the concept of it. It continued a trend of having stupid gimmick seasons and this is probably the worst of the bunch. 0/10

Interesting... While TAR 2 isn't on my worst list I agree with what you said. Tara & Wil and Chris & Alex are utterly awful! The locations were terrible but I wouldn't say that had anything to do with Australia and New Zealand, but pretty much everything else besides Brazil and Hawaii.

TAR 6 is my favourite season so I can't agree there.. Regarding toxicity it does have some especially with Jonathan & Victoria but for the most part I found the bickering couples hilarious lol. I can't say that for most other seasons, and I loved Lori & Bolo most of the teams. I guess this season is an acquired taste?

Agree with TAR 13.

Season 28 for me had a strong first half but lost it's charm after Georgia, and it felt poorly planned in some aspects.

Declive:
I'd have to go with 32.

Wadsy:
I was incredibly disappointed in 32 myself. When it started it had so much potential but then that stupid alliance went way too far.
They just basically contributed in every non alliance member being booted off, which they did so well at.
Once there were only the five teams who were in the alliance, Eswar and Aparna got betrayed and then their betrayers got some pretty bad karma on the next leg.
Finally to rub salt in the wound, Will & James (my least favourite team) won the whole thing after an entire season of deception, hurling insults and just being damn unlikable. They make Freddy & Kendra look kind of good in comparison (I never had any issues with Freddy though).
The locations were also underwhelming besides a few early on, there were only 11 legs and too many Yields (which helped the alliance succeed). Sorry, but a Yield appearing on every leg did not work as it did with season 5.
In the end I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth after this experience.

LandonM170:
My least favorite season is either season 4 or 16.

Season 16 was boring for about 75% of the time. I do think that the Malaysia, Singapore, and China legs were pretty good. The cast was kinda bland not gonna lie. Season 4 was a horrible route (half the countries already were visited and it is only season 4), horrible boot order, and horrible non-elimination legs. Most of the boring teams made it to the last episodes. The only exception was the Reichen & Chip. Only because they were a gay couple (and I am bi so I have to root for the LGBTQIA+ teams) and because they had good personalities.
