I'd have to say Legs 1-4 of TAR11 are my all-time favorite Legs. WRP brought out the best of the all-star teams including navigation troubles, task troubles, and team interactions. South America also featured the best of the South American west had to offer including Cotopaxi National Park (:hrt: to visit Ecuador some day), the deserted mining and valley areas of Chile, Bariloche, and who could forget the infamous Leg at "the end of the world", Ushuaia?
For very honorable mentions, TAR12 had some incredible Legs. My favorite would be Leg 6 in Split, Croatia despite the disappointing elimination. I never knew a country in the former Yugoslavia could feature so many different modes of transportation (taxi, on foot, zip-line, boat) in one Leg. Plus, the taxi drama Nathan & Jennifer got into was exciting. Donkey karma! :lol:
From the pioneer seasons, my favorite episode would be Leg 2 of TAR2 in RDJ and Iguaçu Nat. Park, Brazil. I found the Detour between paragliding and metal detecting quite interesting. It featured the mountains and beaches of Rio beautifully. Iguaçu Falls is one of the places I dream to travel to. Like Peggy, "Seeing those falls [will be] really worth it!" As much as I enjoyed the originality of the Leg in Sydney, Australia... Brazil still tops it by a centimeter for me.
As for the HD seasons, my favorite would be Leg 10 of TAR23. After three seasons of unforgivable visits to Indonesia, I found myself loving the Javanese forests this time around. All the tasks in this Leg required a strong sense of mental toughness including mind over matter, patience, and detail. Marie not knowing how to hard-boil eggs and still succeeding on the first try still stuns me. Also, I adored how Amy never freaked out over eating a piece of cobra and just ate it like beef jerky.

It might not have had a lot of inter-team drama, but TAR20 Leg 9 was one of the most heartwrenching episodes I've ever seen. This was the one in India where Mark tried dozens upon dozens of times to do the Bollywood dance challenge, but even after basically getting heat stroke, he still pressed on, and Bopper was the most encouraging and amazing friend that whole time. And of course, their expressions when they realized that it was a NE.
By the way, I'm new here and this is my first ever post! :hoot: I love TAR and can't wait to talk about it with everyone!

Although I feel many people are not liking the current season as much, I feel that episodes 4-7 of season 24 (especially leg 6) have been some of the best HD era episodes.
