Worst Season
Wadsy:
Agree for both. Season 4 just felt particularly bland, the cast sucked for the most part, the locations were bad especially Europe (don't know why though) and Australia but the biggest sin would be the placement of the non-elimination legs F5, F4, F3 - absolutely useless.
Season 16 does have a couple of good legs - I did enjoy France 2. Again, the cast weren't great with Carol & Brandy being the worst of the bunch.
Uesugi:
I think for me, personally, Season 8 disappointed me the most. Funny enough, it wasn't for the fact that they didn't leave the United States. I honestly think that is a concept that COULD have worked. No the problem was watching parents yell at their kids and watching some of the families be so disrespectful.
My runner up for worst is 23. This one is a very personal choice of me just not being able to find a team I could route for throughout the season. I guess Leo and Jamal but I liked them more in future seasons past this one. I got very upset though when Nicole tried to cheat during the roadblock and she did not get any time penalties for it. Like drama is one thing and I understand wanting to film it and all that. But man, maybe it was just me, but it felt like there was a looooooooooooooot in this season. One positive about this season is that at least they balanced the 'common' countries they visit with some unique ones. Even though the challenges in it were meh for me, neither very memorable or very bad, I liked Norway and the UAE.

I always said the blind dating season (26) was the worst, but am seriously considering giving that honor to the recently-finished 32. No suspense on almost every leg, no airport drama or shuffle whatsoever, the infamous irritating alliance, and rather mundane tasks in a good chunk of episodes. I really don't see myself watching it again. After 31 and 32 both filmed in 2018, I would have laughed at you if you said I would end up enjoying 31 a whole lot more based on the premises for the season. I was so much more excited for a 'normal' 32 than a gimmick 31, but 31 ended up decent enough and much more enjoyable.

I actually quite liked TAR26 except for the early boot of Jeff & Jackie, the winners and having a final four in the twelfth leg. I don't know but something appealed to me in a good way about the season as a whole.
Agree agree agree on TAR32.
Traveldude1:
As I've seen more seasons and rewatched multiple seasons, there are very few seasons that are totally awful as most offer at least some intrigue. There's only one season I may never watch again and that's S32. When the entire season is essentially decided mid-way through and teams have no chance of winning due to answer sharing, that makes the season boring. Even seasons with bad reputations like S16 and S24 have some intrigue, unlike S32
