Topic: TAR Winners: Were you OK with them winning?

[Air]

TAR 22: OK
TAR 23: Very happy
TAR 24: OK, although I liked them much more in the first half of the race (Am I the only person that's OK with them winning?)

Yeah, check FB. A lot of people love their winning. And you're not alone here, too.

What a great place to source opinions from!!!1!

Actually, I checked the FB page for about half a minute, and saw that the people were pretty much half and half about Dave & Connor. But I think production would just gaze over the negative ones and they'll place Dave & Connor on a pedestal (like what happened to the cowboys in S18).

You can see a lot of the negative comments about them in every status from TAR FB. Just tell APABLD that he/she is not alone.

Every negative Cancer comment is combatted by ten times the amount of Cancer-praising or Brenchel hating comments.

People were saying they hope she will never have kids, like those comments are borderline disgusting and mean.

There is no borderline when it comes to that. It IS disgusting and mean

Brenchel weren't even that trainwreck whiny this season so

[amazing1604]

I'm really not OK with Dave and Connor this season. They are just overreacting with the whole u-turn thing and being an old guy  It just made them as whiny as Rachel (from Brenchel) in S20 (since in S24 Rachel was mot as whiny as she was in S20).
In S22 maybe I'm kinda sad because they went home because the achilles, but seeing them facing that u-turn just made me sick.

Nb: my friends watching this are also sick of them. Just saying their opinion.

[gamerfan09]

I actually *holds back vomit* liked Dave/Connor on their first two legs on TAR22 because then they were just a nice borewhore team. Then Leg 3 hit, and we got "The Dave & Connor Show" and it made them completely unbearable in my book. Their first few legs on TAR24 were ACTUALLY inoffensive and okay, but the cracks from them started at around Leg 6, with Dave at the Roadblock and his complaint about Jessica/John needing to let him pass them just because he was 60. Then finally, Leg 7 hit with their self-entitledness about needing Rachel to tell them where the clue was, THEN making Country help them, and by Leg 8-12 it was just too unbearable to see them at all.

[amazing1604]

Even Brendon was more whiny than Rachel in the first few legs. Remember the bartender thing?

[albiegato]

I was doing this project of listing all the placements of the teams for each route marker and task for this season and past seasons. But I'm completely hold up at Leg 10 for this season because I just can't rewatch Dave & Connor's smug, self-satisfying, son of a @$%^& whining.

[purefluff]

 

Definitely not OK with Dave winning.  Aside from the overly sappy and self-indulgent oldest/first child-parent winner and cancer survivor slop, they ran a dishonest race.  They fudged the Sir Lanka task where they backtracked on the raft task.  Further, Dave was so cranky and unlikable after the U-turn he became unbearable.  Connor did 5/6 of the final Road Blocks and Dave even demanded that he do the 6th and final one (skydiving).  Dave did do that one, probably at the request of production.  No, I'm not cool with Dave winning (Connor deserves it though).  They ended up an 8/5 split while the other teams had 7/6. 

Plus, Dave really had no right to be mad at Brenchel for the U-turn. There is no age limit that gives you a free pass the Amazing Race, Dave.

THANK YOU! At least someone here shares my sentiment on their unfair RB split.

... um yes? Just because a season is over doesn't mean we all completely forget about it. We all come to this forum to talk about both present and past seasons.

I didn't know if that was a question or not :X

[APABLD]

Season 25: Very happy with the winners (what a surprise, though!). Any of the final 3 would have been great winners.

[RaceUntilWeDie]

I've been watching since TAR 17, so...

TAR 17: Very satisfied it was an F/F team, but I found Nat & Kat to be a little boring - would have preferred Brook & Claire.
TAR 18: Really thought/hoped it was gonna be Gary & Mallory. Kisha & Jen winning was so random.
TAR 19: Really wanted Jeremy & Sandy to win (I might have been in the minority there )
TAR 20: Really wanted Brendon & Rachel to win, but I'd take a Rachel & Dave win over Art & JJ
TAR 21: I was more than OK with Josh & Brent winning.
TAR 22: Really wanted Max & Katie or even Mona & Beth to win.
TAR 23: I was pulling for Tim & Marie.
TAR 24: A win by Caroline & Jennifer would have been really shocking and made the season really unpredictable. I was also rooting for Brenchel.
TAR 25: I was rooting for the Candy Girls and they won! 

So it looks like the only times I was truly satisfied with the winners was TAR 21 and TAR 25 - both happened to be underdog wins!
