Worst TAR Leg
Cyzoran:
The two legs in season 30 that had a head to head.
Wadsy:
The Cairns leg in season 4 gets a lot of flack, but I honestly enjoyed it a lot. Far better than everything prior since The Netherlands, excluding Borneo leg 9 which was a thrill ride. The tasks in the twelfth leg were fun.

They go to the Sunshine Coast, when they REALLY should of gone to the Gold Coast (which far closer to Brisbane!)
The Gold Coast is SO MUCH BETTER than Sunshine Coast and is the BEST CITY IN AUSTRALIA (yes, even better than Melbourne!)
And the Cairns leg... DO NOT GET ME STARTED! :furious: :cheer:

You folks have much better memories than me. Trying to remember individual tasks from every episode over the years isn't easy.
Recently, I'll say TAR30 Leg 6. I really loathe having the U-turn before the actual detour. Then combine that with the fact that it was a "blind" detour (don't know the task beforehand), and it was just completely unfair. Trevor and Chris were eliminated by no fault of their own, despite running a good leg. I'm pretty sure a team was eliminated in s29 like this as well, but I haven't rewatched that season.
I'll agree with the sentiment of the Switzerland leg in season 22, which I watched somewhat recently. Too many train equalizers, and the switchback wasn't too exciting the second time.
But for me, I'll remember 2 of the worst legs always being the finales of season 10 and 11. The final city segments of those seasons are just so, so terrible. They don't even get to NYC in season 10 until there's like 5 minutes left in the episode. And the less said about that final task in season 11, the better. I was glad when it went to the one city finale format starting season 12.
The one city finale format has had some clunkers as well, in particular seasons 16, 23, and 28. But part of that is just that the finales get quite boring when one team is really far in front.
