Maybe I am different, but the team I am rooting for doesn't have to win for me to enjoy a season. I just found the drama and hostility between the teams to be very interesting.

I would rather watch an interesting season with a winner I didn't like than having my favorite team breeze through the season with 8 first place finishes in legs.

starrynight:
Liking the winner isn't everything I suppose, but it does help if you at least like some teams towards the end, and at least one in the final.

Finished season 2.  I was rooting for Blake and Paige by the end.  They finally got some coverage in the outback episode (which had decent tasks).  The race became more enjoyable then as there was someone to root for.  The producers kept pushing the whole relationship thing with Will and his ex, and really I got bored of it.  Of the final 3 the winners probably got the least coverage and so it was hard to get excited about them winning.  Overall this season was about navigation and much of it self-navigation (which is great).  But I wish there were more difficult tasks at times.  Also a frequent weakness of the race for me are the FFs, they are often so easy to do.  It would be more interesting if they were not such a foregone conclusion that the first team there wins it or can complete it.

Best Loser:
The Fast Forwards are supposed to easy. They were pretty much a free pass for to the Pit Stop that could only be used once. Competition wise, I think Season 3 did the best, while still having most of them simple.

starrynight:
Maybe when they had them in every leg it was more just a tactical thing, though some definitely wasted it when they didn't really need to use it.  Now though it is available only a few times and so needs to be tough I think.

Never understood the popularity of 'ChaChaCha', they might have less personality than even the cowboys.  I guess they got support as people knew they would do well and have a chance to win and/or they weren't as hateable as many of the other unlikeable teams in that season.  So many of the teams make arrogant comments in the interviews, saying they know this and that.

Oswald & Danny were the wheelbarrow of TAR2; they carried that season. 

There are entire casts that can't equal the charm, flair, and charisma of Oswald & Danny's toe jam.
