Really? I thought it was kind of good. The ice cold Italian setting, but the teams definitely didn't seem interesting. TAR 6's Iceland premiere was 100x better in my opinion.

I know we love TAR 17 but leg 5 is not.a.good.look
- COMPLETELY linear leg (I know we like to throw around "linear" to describe legs with an unsatisfying conclusion but this one legitimately is)
- self-driving but like...self-driving that was hard to screw up
- the one and only FF on a leg without bunching and I thiiiiink only one or two spots open for competitors
- a Detour which was a choice between "do this inherently time consuming physical activity (Boat)" and "do this other physical activity that we made harder bc it's the better choice (Bike)"
- a super physical RB with only two lines available at a time
- also literally EVERY task could be done anywhere with a giant bridge over water (Greece, Bosnia, etc)
- and it's an elimination leg yay
Also TAR 17's final leg was underwhelming and all of the criticisms people like to lay on TAR 29's finale ACTUALLY apply to TAR 17's yet it's well received I wonder why :escape
EAOWadsy:
I agree, compared with the prior Sweden leg, the Norway leg was a wasted opportunity. The race is meant to get harder, not easier and it felt that they didn't really try.

The worst leg of each season
Season 29 : Leg 6 (W-Turn after bunch point, no task after W-turn cause the instant death of the u-turned teams)
Season 28 : Leg 4 (What is the point of the train ride to France? Why can't production just end the leg in Geneva?)
Season 27 : Leg 5 (Well this leg actually serves absolutely no chance for teams to move their position if no one screwed up because of their own silly problem, like missing a cluebox)
Season 26 : Leg 1 (They fly all the way to Tokyo just to finish a detour and then they go to the pit-stop? Having a 90-min episode and a W-turn made it even worse and boring)
Season 25 : Leg 2 (That was kinda related to the editting problem, cause I still cannot understand why the couple and Shelly & Nici fell to last place)
Season 24 : Leg 1 (Ridiculously easy task, very short leg, used to be the worst premier before S26)
Season 23 : Leg 1 (Except the roadblock twist, I don't enjoy this leg at all)
Season 22 : Leg 8 (Trains, trains and trains the whole leg, too much bunching)
Season 21 : Leg 6 (The detour is highly imbalanced, enjoying Turkey bath as a task? The Turkey ice-cream speedbump is also lame as having a sauna in S15)
Season 20 : Leg 7 (The leg comes too short for me, the ARI is also highly unfair to Nary & Jamie)
Season 19 : Leg 5 (All they do in Bangkok is fishing some fish... Having two RBs in Phuket is just pointless, why not end the leg in Phuket and set the finiahing as start of leg 6 instead?)
Season 18 : Leg 9 (W-turn at the end of the leg with a semi-bunching point beforehand, not my cup of tea)
Let's just talk about the HD season first, because the earlier seasons have much more bad lega than now

worst ever leg to have a double u-turn
Even worse than TAR 28's leg 10

In an international sense, I'd say TARA5's penultimate leg.
