Declive:
I think 26 would top my list, followed by 25, so far.

23 in last.

Yeah, I kinda like the cast, it's definitely not a bad one, but the editing and direction of the race is awful.

I see it differently. :spy:
18 is not my complete favorite, but I enjoyed most of the Unfinished Business backstories than the blind date matchups. Though the teams weren't presented to their full potentials in UB I found every team likable, even Jaime who I could not stand the first race around was less annoying that time around. Teams were okay, sometimes boring, but I liked them all. I felt sad for every team who was eliminated and ended up rooting for all the teams in the finals.

After looking back, I realize all the season 18 tasks were perfect in its surroundings, tough & risky, and turned out to be entertainment in its works. Plus, I loved the diversity of the route: (Sydney, the Outback, traditional Japan, Lijiang, Kunming nature, India 2x [am I the only one who truly misses India in TAR], Austrian icons, Leichtenstein & Zermatt tourism, Matterhorn dangers, Rio/Copa, and Floridian Keys).

Edit is a lot better than the choppy ones we get now. I like seeing Phil announcing Pit Stop placements and watching teams actually do miscellaneous tasks like ripping open the first clue of the Leg. It makes me feel like I'm part of the experience.

Rachel, I was saying that about TAR 26, your observations on TAR 18 are totally right :P UB is my favourite season (not including pre-18), so... yeah. :lol: And the sentence I quoted is exactly what I think! :) Excluding those moments is just not a good choice.

IMO, 18 > 25 > 22 > 20 > (26) = 23 > 19 > 21 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 24

1. 18 - Just amazing. Good task, great location and very likable team. I think they handle all the legs really well except the lackluster finale which is because of Taxi. It's really weird because I tend to dislike all those double-leg in same country but 18 handle it by create diversity between those two legs. Which is why I really really like it.

2. 25 - Very entertaining season! It had it own up and down. While Morocco 1 is now placed as my favorite leg ever, some legs in this season is really the definition of mess. (Morocco 2, Italy - I also found both UK leg and the finale pretty boring) But with mesmerizing cast and unique task, it make this season topped really high in my ranking. I really love the twist they add this season too. (Secret EP, Final 4, Blind Detour, The Save) The editing seemed to be the problem of this season too. but it can be overlooked easily with all those great material above.

3. 22 - Good season overall. The location is really good, task is difficult enough and it had some good legs. (Germany, Indonesia and Vietnam). The cast is really likable too. But I think it's kind of lack of something. After Botswana, it became somewhat boring. And it contained one of my most HATED leg ever, that train-manic Swizz! The domination of Hockey Bro and Maxie and those U-Turn alliance nonsense is repetitive too. Had the boot order been a bit changed, it would be more entertaining for sure.

4. 20 - Season of drama, lol, but I really like it. The team really deliver and Paraguay is probably one of the most hardest leg ever in all HD season. However, the likable team got booted out so quickly and then the entire F4 is consist of so much negativity that make it so painful to watch. Some task are also weird (Jumping for 1 min? Find apple? Playing toy Helicopter? Japanese Game Show AGAIN?) and some legs are just plain boring. (Both Tanzania, Japan)

5. 26 - As of now, it's still up in the air. There are some good legs (Thailand 1) and some bad legs (Both Japan were really horrible). Some task really shine up (World Order), while some task were just 'WTF I just watch'. (Feeding cat? Playing pool? Eating Ramen? Pushing chair? I mean REALLY?) But the plus point is that the team is pretty likable, their dynamic is really interesting to watch. So hopefully, it'll get better in the latter half of the season. The editing were such a mess too, esp. the recently Germany, they rush everything and make it super confused to keep up with the team and their placement.

5. 23 - Calm season. I don't remember really hate it while I first watch it. But it's really overall boring in my opinion. All I can remember from this season are the Bunny , Marie along with her own drama , Nicole being pathetic and Indonesia 1. Blah route, Blah task and Blah cast.

6. 19 - MORE calm season than 23. I also don't remember really hate it while I first watch it. But it's just weird season. Everything seemed so out of place and the task and route is SUPER boring. Although I really like Ernie & Cindy and Bill & Cathi, this season is a total snorefest. It's a shame because Malawi and Denmark were pretty cool but it got forgotten easily because it's placed in this season.

7. 21 - Err, I have lots of feeling about this season. It definitely not a bad season, and it's also definitely not a boring season. The team are also great as everyone in F6 got their own story arc and it's really interesting to see them race. But I just can't overlook the route and the task. The route was DIASTER! It seemed so cheap and lack of diversity. The task didn't really help it as they were so MEH. If this cast had been put in another different season (I'd say 22 as its route is super cool), this would make a TV gold.




BIG BLANK SPACE




24923849. 24 - NOT JUST WORST HD SEASON EVER. BUT I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE WORST SEASON OF ANY REALITY SHOW EVER! I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT AS I'M TRYING MY BEST TO DELETE THIS STUPID SEASON FROM MY HEAD. URGH.



** After Leg 9 of TAR 26, I made a decision to swap it to third place of all HD season. <333 Monaco, Namibia and Netherlands all impressed me so much! Along with cast, aka Blair & Hayley <333

It can even place 1st or 2nd if the right team win! Now I can only hope!
