Most underrated season?
starrynight:
Season 16 I think is underrated to an extent, though I think 19 is more. The main weakness with 16 for me is who wins it, and it feels at some points like the producers are biased towards them as well. No way did they do a proper pyramid of glasses and shifting to first class in the plane when you are supposed to travel economy was a bit peculiar too. I loved the drama of the leg with the coconuts but the producers heavily emphasised the teams who supposedly did do it properly saying they did it properly in a rather heavy handed way which kind of made me suspicious that maybe they didn't.

The teams are allowed to travel first class. They have to buy tickets in economy class, but if the airline allow it, then they can be bump to first class. Most of the time this is not the case though.

TAR 16 - I think its the best season, and what makes it overrated is because everyone hates it! I cant see why, it had
1. Cool destinations - You cant tell me Argentina, Chile, France, Germany, Seychelles, Singapore and more is bad! These places are amazing, and was absolutely brilliant to watch a race in these awesome places - Pity it wasnt in HD
2. Interesting, good cast
3. Some good challenges
4. Night legs!
TAR 1 is also underrated - The humble beginning of the race is awesome, partucularaly for me as i saw it after watching the fast paced seasons 12-17!

I'm going to say TAR 4, some people don't seem to like it too much, but I didn't think it was all the bad. Not overly memorable, but I don't think it's one of the worst seasons
The route was pretty decent, Italy, France, Austria, Netherlands, India, Malaysia, Australia, and South Korea, lots of variety.
Some great tasks, the Fast Forward in the Netherlands being my favourite (nice leg in general), and the Seoul leg.
Some great moments, Kelly and Jon coming from nowhere in the second Malayasia leg and passing Millie and Chuck at the cave roadblock, Tian becoming the first women ever to do that bull riding task in India, 8 different teams winning a leg (partially due to the sheer amount of Fast Forwards, but still).
Good teams too, Kelly and Jon are one of my all-time favourite dating/engaged teams. Some of their quotes, especially towards the end (probably why the last 5 title quotes are their's). Jon and Al seemed like nice guys, Tian and Jaree and Monica and Sheree were fun to watch. Steve and Dave saying "Green Peace showed up and asked us to stop throwing whales off the tower" at the bungee jump in Austria. :lol3:
Didn't care for the winners though (or a couple early eliminated teams), but I liked all the other top 9 teams at some point.
Again, not the best season, but not as bad as I feared it would be when I watched it.

4, 6, 13, 16, and 19. Oh, and Family Edition. The first five all have exceptional moments throughout and very few lowlights, but something feels off (usually the boring teams surviving). And Family Edition really isn't bad, trust me.
