Things TAR shouldn't have done

While I understand why that bothers you, if they grabbed a normal looking person for each leg, none of the greeters would be memorable as they'd all look the same somewhat.

The pizza in TAR6 :gaah:.

I find those great! Along with the Caviar TAR5, and the soup in TAR6 too.
I think TAR should have never left lots of legs with no self-driving. Teams have to be prepared to read maps and navigate by themselves. That is a BASIC tool for racing, I think, and there's some times when teams don't drive for legs and legs... That's not good. I want more dramma!

I think the pizza was the last task on the finale leg, where teams were sent off to finish a pizza before they will receive their finish line clue.
Makes. No. Sense.

There are far easier ways to elicit cheap thrills (most of which I hate anyway, but I digress).

I don't mind that, as long as it isn't done too much. And the running wasn't naked they were in their underwear I think. :D

Yeh that's what I've said. I liked the German leg this year because of that. And AR19 seemed to have more self driving than AR20.

I think people do differ quite a lot from place to place in how they look. And I don't mind them using a specific national costume sometimes [in less modern places perhaps] but I don't want them putting on an act and sounding silly.

And the worst of all them, the Condor of TAR16.
