I have seen it from the first episode I saw which got me hooked, but S25, I stopped watching it, and I have seen nothing from S26... IDK, I feel something there is not fitting for me anymore, they need something fresh...
I would love to see more FFs, but more powers and even the Intersection so we can see, once again, more strategy and cooperation between teams. I feel that S4 and 5 were super nice, but I am not feeling hooked recently. Hopefully I watch some episodes this season and feel like watching it as in older seasons <3

I think what is going wrong in the "interest rates" is how there are not many moments to keep us asking NEW questions. It's almost always the same general thoughts now:
•Who will get Philiminated?
•Who will win the Leg/the race?
•Who will struggle the most in this task?
•Who will use the 2x U-Turn/who are the Double U-Turned?
•Will X&Y have another quarrel or will they be butter & bread?
In the pre-HD older seasons, we raised questions about various race and promotional moments that kept us engaged to see what will happen next. For example: season 14, along with the above wonders, had unique scenarios that hooked us for the next episode including original thrills like Swiss cheese hill and Austrian Folly.
•How far will Margie & Luke go in the race? (Pre-show promo)
•Does Linda find her way back to Steve in Leg 2?
•Can Tammy & Victor get out of the Romanian forest?
•Will Mark & Michael ever learn their lesson?
•How will Kisha & Jen and Margie & Luke treat each other after the body-check?
•Will the language barrier in the second half of Beijing mix the teams drastically?

This is the truth for me as well. I'm in the exact same boat. The finale of TAR 24 was still the most recent episode I have seen, and I haven't even bothered to try and watch TARs 19-21.
One of my many big pet peeves: Why is every U-turn now a DOUBLE U-turn? Wasn't a plain old U-turn good enough? I think two teams being U-turned at once is just too much.
And yes, the Fast Forwards should come back. I don't even have to watch the show these days to know they aren't doing them as much anymore.
Declive:
I think TAR is killing the mood on "who won the leg?" and "who got eliminated?" sometimes. We should have this drama on every single episode, but sometimes they just kill it. Like Germany Leg 5. Aly & Steve was a obvious win and Bergen & Kurt was a obvious loss.
Make that edit better and most exciting!
