In full disclosure, this is the first time since the original All Stars (the first season I watched) that I spoiled myself on who one by checking Wikipedia. Yes I check this Forum for spoilers during filming, but I always avoid Wikipedia and RFF before I watch the episode. But this finale doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment. :res:
This isn’t the first time the winning team is a team I didn’t root for. Let’s see (reaction as I remember them from watching the finales the first time):
S11: Eric & Danielle – Neutral to Ugh :groan: . I was rooting for Charla & Mirna and was against Dustin & Kandice (I have since loved the Beauty Queens). Eric & Danielle seemed like a non-factor to me (was just there) through the season.
S12: TK & Rachel – Okay to Happy :). I don’t remember much from the first time I watched this season. I knew I rooted for Shana & Jennifer and Kynt & Vyxsin, and TK & Rachel were the next team I liked (even more so since the Japan leg). Ron & Christina kind of oscillated for me while I never liked Nicolas & Don.
S13: Nick & Starr – Didn’t like them :(. I was kind of rooting for Dan & Andrew but it was a foregone conclusion. This Final Three kind of wonked for me, and a reason why I didn’t really liked this season.
S14: Tammy & Victor – Quite happy :hoot:. It was a beautiful finale. It was the one time that they didn’t try to fool us with that “oh my god who is going to win blah blah” stuff when it was just so obvious. I liked all three of the teams and there wasn’t a clear frontrunner in my taste.
S15: Meghan & Cheyne – Neutral :). I was rooting for Sam & Dan and Brian & Ericka. But Meghan & Cheyne were a good team and I didn’t mind them winning. I very much liked this finale because of all the placement changes, the panic and drama.
S16: Dan & Jordan – Very happy :yess:. After Carol & Brandy were eliminated, I was just hoping to god that Louie & Michael and Brent & Caite are next in line. Jet & Cord, I was neutral to them until the finale when they started that whole ‘holier than thou’ route, and I hated them since. Dan & Jordan was a great team and they just skyrocketed to the top of my list after Carol & Brandy was gone.
S17: Nat & Kat – Happy :yess:. I preferred Brooke & Claire winning, but as long as it wasn’t Jill & Thomas. Also: an all-female team won! Finally! I even preferred Chad & Stephanie and Nick & Vicky to Jill & Thomas.
S18: Jen & Kisha – Very happy :yess:. I was rooting for Gary & Mallory, but when they slipped into third place during the finale, I was just so happy that Jen & Kisha took the lead from Flight Time & Big Easy. The Globetrotters are just annoying and bullied Kent & Vyxsin to elimination (and made them look bad when the nasty Globetrotters were at fault).
S19: Ernie & Cindy – Very happy :hoot:. Bill & Cathi were my favorite team from this season, but Ernie & Cindy is a close second.
S20: Rachel & Dave – Neutral to Okay :stare. I was just so happy that Art & JJ didn’t win. Brendon & Rachel were kind of on the fence for me in this season (the whining annoyed me, but I was on their side on the Brendon & Rachel VS Art & JJ fighting).
S21: Josh & Brent – Very, Very Happy :hearts:. I would have been happy with any of the Final Three winning, but their extreme jumpstart starting Leg 10 after all that Born Lucky/Born Unlucky journey they went through pushed them into my favorites for that season along with Natalie & Nadiya.
S22: Bates & Anthony – Didn’t like them :groan:. After Pam & Winnie and Joey & Meghan got eliminated, I kind of just watched the rest of the season. But I agree Max & Katie just got kind of robbed (though I hated them during the season).
S23: Jason & Amy – Neutral to Ugh :groan:. I was rooting for Tim & Marie after Leo & Jamal and Nicky & Kim got eliminated. It was a linear leg and they were pretty much locked in first place after that flour drop RB so the drama was just not there and the finale fell flat.
And for this season…
S24: Dave & Connor – True Hate :gaah: (:;). I was rooting for Caroline & Jennifer and Leo & Jamal since that U-Turn debacle. I know it was a strategically-poor decision on Brendon & Rachel, but Dave & Connor just took U-Turn drama to a whole new circle of hell. I even started to like Jet & Cord since the Switzerland leg because of the new hate sink a.k.a. Dave & Connor. But what took me over the edge is the Roadblock count. I would have just suffered in silence if it wasn't for that 8-5 split.

24th winners: Hate so much.
Yes Dave, you are the oldest winner on TAR, yes, you are old, a poor old man, like you said on Italy. Are you happy now? :/
paradoxinee:
Season 1: Rob & Brennan won. Neutral. Not my favourite team but they're good.
Season 2: Chris & Alex won. Neutral. Not my favourite team but I don't hate them.
Season 3: Flo & Zach won. I will love it if Zach's partner was not Flo.
Season 4: Reichen & Chip won. I hate them. Kelly & Jon should win.
Season 5: Chip & Kim won. Neutral. They got lucky in the final leg with the flight. In race-wise, Collin & Christie were much better.
Season 6: Freddy & Kendra. I don't like them. Prefer Kris & Jon.
Season 7: Uchenna & Joyce. I'm happy for them but not my most favourite team of the season.
Season 8: Family Edition. I don't rank this.
Season 9: Have not watched yet
Season 10: Tyler & James. They're OK. I don't really love any team this season.
Season 11: Eric & Danielle. They're just so bad. At least half of the teams are better than them.
Season 12: TK & Rachel. After Nat & Jen got eliminated, I'm Ok with anyteam in final 3. No love no hate.
Season 13: Nick & Starr won. Not finish watching this season.
Season 14: Tammy & Victor won. Not finish watching this season.
Season 15: Meghan & Cheyne. Neutral. At least Brian & Ericka did not win.
Season 16: Dan & Jordan. I always root for underdog but not them. Prefer Cowboys.
Season 17: Nat & Kat won. First all female team won. I prefer Brooke & Clair but this's not bad.
Season 18: Kisha & Jen won. I don't like them. Zev & Justin and Gallory are much better. Cowboys is better, too.
Season 19: Ernie and Cindy won. I hate them. Bill & Cathi and Andy & Tommy were the best. In final 3, I rooted for Jeremy & Sandy because I want C-rank students kick A-rank students in the ass.
Season 20: Rachel & Dave won. Neutral. They're dominated all the season so I have nothing against them.
Season 21: Josh & Brent won. After my favourite Abbie & Ryan got eliminated, I rooted for them so I'm happy with the reason.
Season 22: Bates & Anthony. They're just an alphamale team. Don't like them but there were some better teams in that season.
Season 23: Jason & Amy. I don't hate them but never love them. Tim & Marie was the best.
Season 24: Dave & Connor. Love it because they're my favourite team and they dominated most of the legs.
