Your Biggest TAR Pet Peeves?
Platrium:
Recently, I realized that I find it annoying when a team wins 5 legs in a row. (e.g. Paul & Steve, Justin & Diana) It makes the team dominate and give less chances to others. I know it's a race and it's actually good for the team that they're winning so much, but it just ruins the season in such a way.
Another one I noticed recently is when a season has 4 to 5 elimination legs straight. The worst was in TAR12 when there were 6, it was unfair to the 6th place team for just having raced 6 legs. There might even be 7, but I can't remember, and I probably wouldn't have bothered back then, knowing that NELs are just common towards the end of the race. Back to my point on 4 to 5 straight eliminations, while recently watching TAR28 and TAR Aus 1, seeing 4 to 5 teams go home straight in a row makes the game feel like it's about to finish faster. Weirdly enough, I feel exhausted when so many teams get eliminated in a row, especially when I watch TAR Aus 1 as a marathon. :lol: I don't like many straight eliminations, or at least have more NELs early in the race.

Tasks with fake animals or fake other stuff. And when that happens, the editors always include a quote like "I thought it would be a real horse." Which shows that even the show is acnowledging how lame that it.
I could go on and on and rant about more, it's just that is my number 1 pet-peeve. I'll find time some day to unleash it all. I wish I could take over the show and make it better than it is today.

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

If you haven't watched anything from 25 on, how would you know if there has been anything fresh or not?? :gaah:
You might be surprised and find something to like. :conf:
This season's route has been awesome, for instance.

When teams make any form of geographical blunder. If I was on the Race, I am not going to be nice to you.
Also, when teams are saved by multiple NELs. Each team should only be saved once.
