Sorry I snapped like that. Anyways, I think the problem with Season 19, was too many roadblocks, and some people disliked Cindy's A-grade student comment.

There weren't very good team dynamics and the route was a little lame with two legs in every country. Also the episodes were a little boring with easier tasks and not too many lead changes, especially the finale.

I agree! 19 is one of my least favorites. The legs were just unbearable. Waste of country opportunities like Indonesia, Malawi, Denmark & Belgium. The uturns were not utilized well too. And no FF.
Ironically, I enjoyed the leg 5 in Thailand. When they went to Bangkok they had no idea of their placements. There was an element of surprise and thrill who will be first place.
I don't think 19 is overrated tho. Atleast, no one yet is overrating it.

19 is the worst season, without any doubt. But I don't think it's particularly overrated.
For me, most overrated season might have to be either TAR10 or TAR14. I just despised the TAR10 cast (except the Queens of course, as well as Peter & Sarah and some early exits) and for TAR14, I found it exceptionally dull at certain points, with yet another abysmal winning team. :res:

Bad seasons: Season 19 and 16
Dull seasons: Season 12 and 18

Season 2 is my favorite. :lol:
I'd say it's Season 3 for me, honestly. Other than John Vito & Jill and Ken & Gerard, none of the teams were very likeable for me. Great route though, and the Zurich Detour (Count the Money or Run the Numbers) is still one of my favorite tasks ever, but as a whole, I can't really get engaged in this season.

I don't think there was anyone who really annoyed me. Flo may have annoyed some but most of the time I thought she was alright. Often the men are the weakest point in the worst seasons I think and I was able to tolerate them in this. Ian was cantankerous at times but somehow could be funny.
Some mentioned 14 and that feels overrated I think. Though I was able to watch it all whereas I struggled with 2, so I wouldn't say most overrated. But Victor was so annoying in Translyvania and was one of those arrogant men who can tarnish some seasons. I know we kept getting told how he had learnt his lesson, but I'll decide for myself on that. And then there was Luke, pushed as a nice disabled guy early on I was never convinced about him being nice and much preferred those against him on the race.
