Most underrated season?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Charlie90:
Season 13 is indeed underrated..
-Sarah and the fact that she looks like Molly Shannon's love child and her: "They didn't even said Hi to us"
-Tina saying: "You owe us" to any single team she helped with even the slightest thing
-Dandrew making it to the Top3 against all odds
-Nick giving slightly gay vibes
-First time visits to cool countries..

If you think about it, it's even underrated with the producers, cause they overlooked Toni and Dallas. They should have returned to Unfinished Business instead of one of the 5 teams of S14.

It visited good countries, but the fact It stayed 2 legs in 90% of them, turns me off.

I didn't even realise that watching it, maybe because they actually travelled around a lot and went to many different and varied locations (it seemed) and therefore it didn't seem to matter so much.  It wasn't like the African and Indian ones in 20 were they just seemed to stay in the same place.

I definitely agree, TAR19 isn't as bad as everyone says it is, it might not have been the most memorable season, but I thought it was pretty decent
There were definitely some loveable teams (NFL, MomPa, Snowbuddies), and some rather annoying ones..
The locations were diverse and new, it's probably one of my favourite routes! I never expected Taiwan, Indonesia, Malawi, Denmark, Belgium, Panama and ATLANTA!
It was a good mix of mental and physical challenges, but some challenges ended up being a snooze fest
One of my favourite segments on the race was (on the what we think was an unplanned leg) the bus rides from Phuket to Bangkok, all the teams were getting on different buses I had NO idea what was going on, and somehow all the buses shuffled around and teams didn't know their positions at the Pit Stop! I really liked that! Then add lost cabbies, traffic jams, you've got some excitement!
I think the decent legs were 3,7,8,9,11 and PART of 5
and I thought the final challenge (the giant map) was such a cool idea! However it added no excitement to the already boring finale
Anyway I'm rambling, my point is it was such an underrated season, there have been worse  :lol:

The one thing about the finale that was unfortunate was that it wasn't close at the end.  But the aircraft simulation and having to work out the 1 was an L (part of the mental challenges of this race) at the typewriter still had more interest for me than a gimmicky band underwater, rearranging caravan fixtures and a task lifting a car in the air where they were instructed what to do as they did it anyway.  Even 17 with a standard bungee jump and decorating a float wasn't that great a finale or that close.

When Terrence asked Sarah "Who's my girl?" And Sarah answered "You are!"  :lol3: Priceless!
