They were eliminated not because of the U-Turn but because of the challenge... I even rooting for Margie & Luke because of the tea task. I really want for them to kick the Globetrotters out.
Another problem TAR 24 is the all stars season, bring out your all stars game. :hearts: :groan:

I really don't care for Jaime & Cara, and as a huge Globetrotter fan (Pre S24) I was glad to see them go. :lol:
As for 24, I think the reason teams didn't bring their All Star Game was because most the teams weren't even All Star worthy in the first place.
My Analysis for S24 Teams:
Natalie & Nadiya - Without doubt would've brought their All Star Game had they survived past Leg 1. Their bickering did them in more than anything.
Mark & Mallory - Both All Star worthy, but Mark's heart wasn't in it due to Bopper being incapable of competing. Had it been Mark & Bopper, I think they would've brought the best All Star game out of everyone.
Joey & Meghan - Never had that All Star quality in S22, and that showed in their lack-luster performance in S24.
Margie & Luke - Too lax-a-dazzy this time around, so it affected their overall performance.
John & Jessica - I think they did bring their All Star Game, but because they were competing against much stronger teams it just seemed like they didn't. I think the reason they did so well in S22 was because most of their competition was rubbish. :res: (I'll probably get condemned for saying that) :lol:
Flight Time & Big Easy - Just didn't give a damn this Season. They didn't seem to care where they placed probably, because they were bored from having raced twice before. NOT the attitude to have.
Jet & Cord - Love or Hate them, they always seem to bring their best to every Season they're in.
Leo & Jamal - Their All Star Game was what we saw in S23. If they had have been manipulative, and conniving like we saw in 23, they probably would've placed higher in each Leg.
Brenchel - I might be one of the very few who don't like these two one bit, but I have to give them props for bringing their A-Game after getting over their hiccups in Leg 3, 4 & 5.
Caroline & Jennifer - They tried their best, but the other teams were just better then them. They only made the Final 3 due to luck. Although I do Love them. :luvya:
Dave & Connor - Even if you hate them with a passion, you can't deny their performance was one of the best the whole Season. They brought their A-Game no doubt about it, placing no lower than 4th.
So yea, Season 24 was :barf :groan:

Season 24 was everything that is wrong with modern TAR: Horrible cast, uninspired tasks, bad route, no competition. The fact that they called it All-Stars instead of something like "Redemption" makes it worse.
The REAL All-Stars season (11) is still the best. Excellent cast and great tasks. And definitely lots of competition. Only bad thing about the season is the winners, really. :snicker:
TARUB's cast could've been tons better, especially if they didn't pretend anything pre-TAR12 ceased to exist. But I'd say TAR18 is perfectly in line with the middling quality of post-TAR12.
So overall, TAR11 > TAR18 >>>>>>>>>>> TAR24

Talk about Dave & Connor, what happen if the route and the task from that season is the same on difficulty like the UB. I'm pretty sure Dave/Connor will struggle on that and we will see more whine comes from Dave's mouth blahblah Tar 24 is one of the easiest season when it comes to task in my opinion
Jobby:
We need a broken leg, an injured arm and a hospital bed to truly keep Dave from whining consistenly THROUGHOUT a season. By that, I mean real quitting from a medical situation like in Season 22.
Dave and Connor made TAR 24 really awkward for me to watch. At one point, I wasn't interested in hosting my game anymore and I usually take pride in doing that, and if a team like Leo and Jamal, whom I did not like so much in TAR 23, became my top 3 favourites in the entire season, it just means that TAR 24 lacked Allstar cast, Allstar route and an Allstar design in tasks for each leg.
If it has taken 10 seasons, for producers to choose teams like Teri and Ian or John Vito and Jill, who were really mediocre in TAR 3, to race in Allstars.. (those were clearly the two ZOMG WHY DID YOU PICK THEM I DON'T REALLY CARE THAT MUCH TBH), then it should take at least longer, and not merely after 5 seasons for producers to do an Allstars. And what is sad is that, in TAR 25 this season, 6 out of the Final 7 teams had more Allstar quality than most of the teams in TAR 24. :res:

The thing is, I actually feel like there were more than enough teams that producers could've chosen that were All-Star worthy between Seasons 19 - 23.
Bill & Cathi
Andy & Tommy
Marcus & Amani
Bopper & Mark
BrenChel
Natalie & Nadiya
James & Abba
Jaymes & James
Max & Katie
Dave & Connor (Based on their Season 22 performance before we knew how whiny Dave actually is)
Caroline & Jennifer
Mona & Beth
Chuck & Wynona (Just for the Mullet) :lol:
Nicky & Kim
Leo & Jamal
Tim & Marie
Almost any combination of these Teams would make for a seriously great Season.
The main factor in whether an All Star Season will be successful comes down to the availability / willingness (to compete again) of the teams.
And that's what happened us this time around. :'(
