Joys and Disappointments of TAR 22
Stylemikro:
+
Route (I'm still tired of those legs in China and India)
Likeable teams
Some nice challenges (New-Zealand, Berlin night leg, Titanic task, Detour in Indonesia, Sandcastles challenge)
Nice twist with the 2 express passes
-
Too much easy challenges (especially the last leg)
Queues in RoadBlocks. We can't have that "competitive" feeling, if you know that you are going to be the first in line and the first to complete it.
Bad position of the Fast-Forward: A free win for the team that arrived first in the previous leg, since the next leg would be in the same country.
3 teams quitting a task in the 1st leg of the race.
Leg in Swtizerland - Where could a team get a edge? B/A should thank Katie, otherwise, 3 teams would have come to the pit stop in a matter of 1-2 minutes.
Teams didn't realize who were their biggest threats and focused just on a word "Alliance"
Race that did not focus on the money that teams can spend.
RaceUntilWeDie:
Joys:
-Amazing cast :hearts: = So many teams to root for!
-Unexpected early boots
-Diverse route
-6 Self-driving legs!! (That is a huge deal for recent seasons :lol: )
-Berlin night leg!
-Double Express Pass twist played out well (I'm talking in terms of drama)
-Speaking of the Express Pass twist, I recalled that during the first two/three legs, there was a huge amount of team-interaction that we haven't gotten in a looong time!
-No starting line challenge
Disappointments:
-Obsession of alliances.. I want drama to be natural
-I don't recall ever complaining about how easy tasks were, but now that I think of it: they need to amp them up!
-The Cheese Switchback
-Underwhelming finale
-Mona & Beth's 1-minute airtime through the whole season...
This is all I can think of for now! I'm sure I'm supposed to have more joys than disappointments because this has been a great season and I'm sad to see it end :'(
starrynight:
More self driving and also taxis not causing elimination was definitely an improvement on 21. Overall I thought this was better than 21 but still not one of the top races. You need a better cast for that.
Jobby:
You have fun singing country girls, competitive and snarky yet smart newlyweds, competitive roller derby moms, funny and charismatic hockey brothers, whiney but fun Youtube hosts, Lumelia underdogs Chuck and Wynona, Asian competitive godmode Pamela and Winnie, sob story Dave and Connor, egoistic Express Pass goner Jessica and John... that's 9 colourful teams which we can immediately remember off hand in many seasons to come.
Great casting this season! <3
starrynight:
Youtube hosts, Chuck, Dave (cancer/injury), John (egotistical), maybe Max (snarky). That's about it.
