I really love this topic! My friends at work who watched discuss this every Monday after TAR Sunday. So glad some Rachels' minds think alike, while some... are hair extensions and annoying laughs. Anyways, I'm not a pet person. I don't like dogs, I don't like cats, and I certainly would never hold a snake or catch a fish that butchers throw like at Seattle's Public Market. Anything involving muscular endurance or eating a large amount of weird delicacies would be my downfall on the race.
I'll start from season 1:
TAR1- As much as this season's India visit intrigued me the most, I would have lost it if I found out I had to travel to Karni Mata and experience an environment filled with
rats.
Thinking about it just makes me cringe into a ball. Nancy and even Karyn handled India and their teammates like pros despite their Pit Stop taxiing drama.
TAR2- In New Zealand, the sheep separating Roadblock would have angered me to... think of Mika's stress from the water slide + Ericka's stress during the duck herding from TAR15. That would be my frustrations trying to control the sheep into their pens.
TAR3- Chasing after goats in Very Swiss is just as frustrating as forcing sheep into pens, but grabbing a tiny bell off them is worse. I would have rather done Extreme Swiss than having to complain like Flo. Finishing the final Roadblock would be no problem at all.
TAR4- Leg 7 in Allepey, India is animals all day long! I know the bull race would be karma for the viewers to cheer about and I would have done the task more than Tian, having mud caked in my mouth.
TAR5- Let's just say: "MY OX HAS MALFUNCTIONED! THIS IS "
BULL"CRAP!!!" Also, Charla was simply extaordinary carrying that bulky piece of bloody meat in Uruguay AND eating a family serving of caviar in St. Petersburg. That is certainly something to give props to. Oh yeah, "That is the bad one." (pointing to the evil goat Detour in Egypt)
TAR6- The hay bales Roadblock in Sweden was devastating for Lena. Would have been another Sam & Dan rivalry all over again in TAR15. (Why am I mentioning TAR15 in everything?) The key task in Xi'An looks really difficult. Hayden & Aaron were even forced to quit when the last gondola of the day was expected to go down.
TAR7- Hands down would have
in Argentina if I was the one having to eat a few pounds of meat. "Rope A..." something Detour would be my downfall and that is only the first Detour of the race. Go Meredith & Gretchen and Debbie & Bianca!
TAR8- The family road trip in a Suburban would be a nightmare singing folk songs like "I've been working on the railroad," and "B-I-N-G-O" all drive long.
That would have been a terrible "task" to do.
TAR9- I... don't remember any tasks from this season!
The route was so all over the place.
TAR10- When Kandice fell off her horse and was dragged on the ground in Terelj... that was the scariest thing I've seen for a team next to Gretchen falling in a hole in Botswana. The "Fill It Up" Detour with the ox didn't make anything better. The yurt disassembly choice would have taken longer for me though if I didn't have a teammate that knew what he or she was doing either.
TAR11- Everything looked so difficult this race, besides, this was ALL-STARS.
TAR12- Ari & Staella all over again...
If I made it to the final Leg in Anchorage, the donkey would probably be there just for revenge towards me. (WHERE DO THEY FIND DONKEYS IN ALASKA?
)
I'm not going to go way too in-depth.
