Most overrated season?

<< < (7/7)

TheRabbi:
Season 25. I liked it at the time, but recently rewatched it for the first time since it aired and it really wasn't that great (I say that in terms of TAR seasons - it was still enjoyable overall). But the season is rated extremely highly, and I'd put it in the bottom half of TAR seasons. Almost every new twist or new thing introduced was a total dud (the Save, the blind detour, the final 4 in the finale). Most of the other seasons I'd put in the bottom half aren't highly rated to begin with.  Could definitely have some underrated seasons though!

But i don't know about overrated...maybe 23 for me? I didn't get all the fun of that.

i agree with 13 and 32 being terrible. Season 13's cast felt like the leftovers from TAR 12. Very unmemorable..... and unlikable as well. It was also during that weird transition period where they retained some things from the old era but had some of the newer stuff like the U-Turn and shorter number of legs. If you pay close enough attention, the intro is actually different from the all other pre TAR 14 seasons too.

Season 32's cast was enjoyable at first, but they became so unlikable down the stretch. But as you know, the alliance ruined the season. They either need to create tasks that don't allow cheating or outright ban alliances all together.

TAR 23 was just kind of an OK season. When you consider the gimmick seasons to follow after TAR 24, this serves as one of the last regular cast seasons which is unfortunate.

Most Overrated Season: S3

This is was a good season however it was very old school. The non-elimination points and tasks were very meh. Also, the cast was ok. I liked about half the cast however the first boots, and some of the last teams in the race were not great.

This is just my opinion because I know this is always in the top 5 for any TAR fan however I think it is midpack. I can understand why so many people love and enjoy this season a lot however just isn't mine.

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks TAR 25 is overrated.
In fact I would go as far as saying I dislike it. It feels very basic and like an introductory season for new viewers, and all of the twists pretty much sucked... The save was ridiculous. The worst offender was the final four in the final leg, especially considering I was not a fan of the winning team. The locations and tasks were meh, as Denmark was very disappointing this time around and the Italian Sicily leg felt underwhelming when compared to TAR 9's visit. On a more positive note, Malta was fantastic!
