Your Biggest TAR Pet Peeves?
bubbha:
When the location they show on the outside or in aerial shots is NOT the same place as where the contestants are.
For instance, in Ep. 4 of TAR26, the contestants were praying at some minor temple in the middle of Thonburi, but the aerial shots showed Wat Saket (the Golden Mount).
G.B.:
When basketball is more important than TAR...

Route: Lackluster route like TAR21 (First half was all basically third world countries scenic leg.) and TAR24 (First 8 leg was the 4 consecutive double leg in one country).
Task: Uninspired, unbalanced, ridiculous, boring, dull or easy task like TAR16 Chile 2, TAR16 France 1 WW1 Detour, TAR18 Austria Chimney RB, TAR20 Tanzania 1 minute Jumping, TAR21 Indonesia task, TAR21 & TAR24 Spain bull task, every Switchback task so far (except My Ox is Broken switchback IMO), and more...
Cast: I have problem with the cast especially on the M/M team and M/F team.
1) Rude, Douche, or Obnoxious: Reichen & Chip, Jonathan & Victoria, BJ & Tyler, Eric & Jeremy, Globetrotters, Cowboy Jet, Louie & Michael, Art & JJ, and more...
2) Boring: David & Jeff, Kris & Jon, TK & Rachel, Toni & Dallas, Gary & Matt, Jeremy & Sandy, ...
3) Please no/less gimmick or (semi) famous celebrity/mactor into TAR, we want more normal and real people in TAR. (Eg. Linda & Karen, Oswald & Danny, Tammy & Victor, Nat & Kat, JenKisha, Chuck & Wyona, Shelly & Nici, Amy & Maya, Hayley & Blair, CJ & Lebya, Jeff & Lyda, ...)
Editing: Editing was gone down south since TAR18 or TAR19 (Background music has been cheesy & fun and not dramatic, anticlimactic editing, Pit Stop editing, TBC editing, ...)
Twist: U-Turn (Placing RIGHT before the Pit Stop or placing in the leg that U-Turned team was 100% impossible to catch up), Speedbump (90%++ was too easy, while the other was ridiculously tricky that the Speedbump team was impossible to catch up).
I'm done. :lol:

1) Out of 11 visits to China, 10 seasons visits are involved big metropolitan cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, HK). Where is other exotic and historical cities like Xi'an in TAR6, Lijang-Kunming in TAR18?
2) Same as China, all 7 visits to Japan are always involved big metropolitan cities (Tokyo and Osaka) with AT LEAST a task been done which I CANNOT tolerate at all unless they used as transit point to other Japanese suburb or historical cities without any task been done in Tokyo and Osaka. Where is Kyoto, Nagoya, Hokkaido Island, Kyushu Islands, and so on?
3) As for Indonesia, 3 out of 4 visits are in Java Island (Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Bandung), Bali is the only non Java Island visit which was the best Indonesia leg at that time until the double Bandung leg appears in next season. Oh come on, Indonesia was so big and diverse, and yet they keep on back to Java Island and do ****ty and awful legs there. (Of course Bandung been excluded) Not to mention they still didn't have a freakin legit Jakarta leg there.
