TAR 14 - Very exciting, lots of drama and the toilet problem cost Jen & Kisha 1 million bucks.
TAR 16 - The task was ok, but the footrace between first two and bottom two was so DAMN exciting!
TAR 18 - Wonderful location, great RB and time-consuming detour made it really intense.
TAR 23 - OMG! The RB was ABSOLUTELY perfect! Create a lot of drama, frustrating and Marie's killing it! Also, the gameshow detour and speed bum was really funny.
Meh...
TAR 10 - The morocco part was horrible. But the Barcelona part is fun. Love the tomato detour!
TAR 12 - This leg contain lots of drama and really exciting to watch. But the task was so lame and pretty easy. NateJen going home is heart-breaking too. :cmas4
TAR 13 - Amazing task ever in the whole race with tricky puzzle and crazy navigation detour. But since Toni & Dallas was so far behind. The intense dropped.
TAR 15,17 - Same with TAR 13, the task was great but one team was so far behind.
TAR 19 - Lame task. But the last five minutes saved it with the Taxi alliance :cmaslol BEST RESULT EVER !!
Horrid :cmas12
TAR 11 - Lame task. Linear leg. Only Charla problem with that GPS make it worth watching. :cmaslol
TAR 20 - The task seemed so rush and boring that even the pit stop drama couldn't save it.
TAR 21 - Lame, so lame. The detour was :cmas11 and the RB was so pointless.
TAR 22 - Very boring, the task was great especially the Titanic recipe. But F4 team was so horrible that I can't even cheer any of them to make for the Finale.

I'll update mine too since I've seen some more seasons after posting this. :lol:
Like!
TAR25 - Veryyyyyyyy physical demanding. I always love when they make penultimate in Hot-Humid Asia because it causes a lot of meltdown and drama. This leg is perfect. And I'm still remember how shock I am when first watching this and they reveal the F4 twist!
TAR26 - I'll call it one of the best penultimate in a while. Every tasks were so hard. Although if they add some HoH at the start, it'll be like even better.
TAR6 - OMG, the Key RB is my everything. <33 Amazing task! I don't like luck task that determined who will go home but the more I think about it, I think the Key RB is not luck based. It's challenging you to stay calm and not freak out and then you'll finally get it. A lot of teams freak the hell out and start to have meltdown, which is fun to watch but painful for them at the same time. I really really like this task and hope it got switchback'd soon.
Meh...
TAR24 - Well, I think it's OK. I like the recite Poetry task and the shooting task. But... WHINE & Cornor STEAL CaroJen's 1st place kind of ruin all the leg for me. The football task and throwing shoes is also LAME. It's one of the two legs in TAR that I cannot force myself to watch the entire episode. (Another one is an episode after this, that NIGHTMARE finale, which shouldn't be talking about)
Horrid!
TAR5 - Sorry guys, I'm so NOT OK with this. Okay, so we're starting the leg and then we go to some bunching which give 2 teams a FREE PASS to FINAL 3. Wtf? Then we're force to watch 2 last teams to fight with each other which might be fun... but it's NOT when it's down to 40-something Nice Moms VS Alpha Physical Dating Couple with that NO LIMIT RB RULE! which lead to one of the worst elimination ever. The flag island searching is kind of... stupid. And then here we come, the ascending RB, which would be nice if it's in recent season with RB rule. But no one want to watch Moms nearly die while doing RB WHEN all other girls just watch their guy do some workout and drink some coke then row boat chilly to the Pit Stop! It's good that this leg give WRP an idea to do the limit RB rule. (Which BTW got screwed again by WHINE & Cornor in season 24) But I just don't like this leg. It's always painful for me to watch this penultimate.

I agree with you about the TAR5 penultimate leg being a disappointment.
I did not enjoy El Nido or the challenges that took place in the leg. There were no equalizers either which was kind of upsetting.
In fact, both the two legs in the Philippines lowered my overall score for TAR 5 as well as the lack of Europe making it my third favourite instead of my favourite season.
Declive:
For the ones i've seen it:
TAR12 (Taiwan) - Amazing! Great leg, tasks and drama.
TAR14 (China) - Also a very good one. That water detour was awesome.
TAR15 (Czech Republic) - Fine by me, but it would've been way better if the Globies haven't quitted that one.
TAR16 (China) - Fine drama too. Tasks not so good.
TAR17 (South Korea) - Good tasks but zero drama :/
TAR18 (Brazil) - Unbalanced Detour which killed the leg.
TAR19 (Panama) - Cool leg and nice drama all the way to an shocking end.
TAR20 (Japan) - I don't like it...
TAR21 (France) - Very good leg too. I'd say one of the best drama legs of all.
TAR22 (Northern Ireland) - Not good.
TAR24 (Wales) - I don't like the tasks too.
TAR25 (Phillipines) - Loved it!
TAR26 (Peru) - I'm fine with it but the NO bunching thing was a mood breaker.

I definitely agree with you about TAR 12, 17, 20 and 22. 22 was especially disappointing for me as the entire season as a whole was incredible, but the last two legs spoiled it completely. That's just my opinion though, however.
RaceUntilWeDie:
TAR 17 - Boring due to no suspense. Tasks had potential.
TAR 18 - This wasn't really memorable. Felt bad for Zev & Justin but they were a threat imo :lol:
TAR 19 - The taxi race added lots of chaos and gave us the best F3 celebration :hearts: WE BEAT THE BOYS!!
TAR 20 - I really wonder how this season would have turned out if Vanessa didn't fall in India. Boring/unfortunate.
TAR 21 - This has one of the best races to the finish! Twins vs. Farmers driving was VERY well-done. [Re]watch it.
TAR 22 - The last few legs of this season ruined what was a really good season imo. In other words, boring.
TAR 23 - Watching Marie beat Amy and Nicole was one of the best moments! Really wish Leo & Jamal made it.
TAR 24 - Caroline & Jennifer almost won this leg :gaah: wasn't a great leg though.
TAR 25 - So freakin' suspenseful and dramatic. I loved it. The 4-way taxi race was awesome.
TAR 26 - The tasks were really good for a penultimate leg but there was no drama/suspense whatsoever.
I never noticed that I only seem to like the odd-numbered seasons' penultimate legs recently :lol:
