Your favorite/least favorite Routes
Wadsy:
Best:
3 - Great locations throughout, particularly Scotland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I also enjoyed all of the Asia legs which is something I cannot say for the majority of recent seasons.
6 - Hands down the best in my opinion. I guess they were making up for a lack of Europe in TAR 5 since here we get the most legs in Europe in the entire series. That's not all, all other locations - Senegal, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and China were also equally amazing! The Honolulu final could have been better but that is a minor gripe.
30 - I was really impressed with this one. It felt very TAR 6 at some points with a lot of Europe but not a dull moment! Iceland, Belgium, France and Czech Republic were all fantastic. The Morocco, Zimbabwe and Bahrain legs were also nice, with the Thailand leg being cool as well.
TAR 29 gets an honourable mention
Worst:
4 - On paper the locations look good I guess but after watching the season felt differently. I am a huge fan of Europe but here we get some of the worst in the series with Vienna and France being abysmal. The first Malaysian leg is so boring and just unexciting and Australia was poorly used - majorly! On a more positive note, I enjoyed the Italian legs, India 2 and Malaysia 2.
8 - No comments necessary.
11 - Another one I feel guilty for putting on the list but it feels like a copy of seasons 5 and 7, having so many legs in South America, followed by Africa (been there done that!). There was only one European country which sucked even more and Guam was incredibly dull.
13 - This is one of my least favourite seasons and I have never gone back and watched it since it first aired. I cannot think of anything good about it, except the New Zealand leg and the locations were as easily forgettable. I think Bolivia and Kazakhstan were good but it was too long ago to remember.
24 - Yeah I think we all know why this is here. Least number of countries outside the Family Edition, double legs everywhere and 3 continents - complete nonsense.
TAR 2 gets a dishonourable mention
LandonM170:
My favorites are probably: S5, S10, S17, S29, S32
Also, can't forget S12 (was a little Europe heavy however it payed off with 3 new countries in Europe and two more in Africa and Asia).
My least favorites are: S2 (5 double leg countries :idgit), S4 (4th season and half the route is countries already visited :dick), S8 (to many rural country legs; where is Chicago, Seattle, Miami?), S14 (any season with 3 continents is automatically a least favorite), S15 (I enjoyed the locations and season however only 3 continents), S16 (to many already visited countries that were overused), S18 (enjoyed the locations however most countries were new cities and old overused countries), S21 (three continents really), S24 (three continents and overused countries with 4 double legs), S25 (fantastic season however only North Hampshire and 4 double legs), S26 (horrible except Namibia and Peru), S27 (great season except we are going to go to every overused countries we can find except for two), S28 (to many middle east/central asia legs, and of course China which was just visited in S27 and S24), S31 (Vietnam, Japan, United Kingdom, and Switzerland should have been replaced).
I couldn't forget S7 and S11 for having 4 SA legs! Would have been great for both of them otherwise.
Declive:
I think any route that explores the max. number of continents has the win for me.
Also, i love when they go "remote" but to a big city. I love seeing the development of these places.
Like, i'd love to see them go countryside Canada but also love to see them go to the biggest city in some small country.

I would have said that as well regarding the continents but it didn't turn out the way I wanted.
To this day seasons 5 and 11 are the only editions to have visited 6 continents and neither would fall under a season with the top locations.
TAR 5 lacked Europe and while I know they did go to Russia, I am not a fan though I did like TAR 14 when they explored Siberia and the less visited areas.
I also was not a fan of the El Nido leg and even Canada was a tad underwhelming because they hardly did anything there.
I won't even get started with TAR 11 with all of it's South America and Asia legs.

TAR Australia vs New Zealand visited six continents. This statement would be true if you counted only US seasons, but when say "editions" it becomes a false statement.
