TAR Unpopular Opinions
Platrium:
I might be the only person who likes head-to-heads. Yeah, the one in the US version right before a pit stop. Personally, I think it's fun and exciting to see from a viewer's perspective.
Only downside is that it robbed April & Sarah when I was rooting for them. :(
Traveldude1:
- I love TAR 4 and think it's a decent season. I know it's not a well liked season, but I think it has a great route and the tasks are fun. The cast is still kind of lousy but I'd watch this season over most of what's being put out today.
- The most consistent era was TAR 14 to TAR 24 and it's not close. Besides TAR 20, there wasn't a truly bad season during this stretch and that's saying something about how good the show was during this period. There were some seasons I enjoyed more than others (TAR 14 and TAR 21) while there were others that I didn't quite enjoy as much (TAR 19 and TAR 15), but every season had something great to offer during this run.
ianthebalance:
I agree on TAR 4. I think it gets way too much hate and I genuinely enjoy the season :)
LandonM170:
Yeah on my rewatch of season 4 earlier this year I actually really enjoyed it and then the fact that a gay "married" (not official because of law but they were) couple won really just made it even better, maybe that is biased for me because I am a bi guy but I loved it!
Genius:
Perhaps the most sacrilegious opinion to be posted over here, but I honestly feel I am more suited to be on BBC's Race Across The World than TAR.
On TAR, one may be forced to skydive or bungee jump or chow down disgusting things and everything needs to be done asap. In RATW, racers can travel leisurely at whatever pace they like and visit whatever attractions they like. I am also able to budget my finances very well, and am comfortable with long bus and train rides (assuming pre-COVID conditions). Of course, from a ratings perspective, I would not have been an interesting racer to watch, because I won't run into trouble with my money, nor would I really complain about travelling long distances on public transport.
