TAR Unpopular Opinions
Genius:
Despite being a TAR fan, I've not rewatched a single season in entirety. In terms of individual episodes, I've only rewatched one of the Indian legs from TAR24 (not fun to watch) and the Croatian leg from TAR31. AS such, my memories/opinions are stuck in whatever year the season premiered.
TAR2 - Tara and Wil were my fave racers.
TAR4 - The first half was pretty boring, especially the Italian and French legs.
TAR6 - I liked the couple teams in general and I like that Ethiopia was featured. Kris and Jon really should have been invited back.
Again, if I were to watch them today, perhaps my opinion of those seasons would have been completely different.

While Rachel and Brendon were my season picks in TAR20 and TAR24, I didn't quite enjoy seeing her with her sister. Perhaps in a future returnee season, there can be a hybrid in-law team featuring her husband and sister. :lol: (Speaking of which, there has only been 1 team of in-laws in 33 seasons in the US.)

Regarding TAR Canada 3, I felt like it was the most interesting season, out of the 4 that I have watched (basically the first 4 seasons).
Genius:
I feel that TAR32 is extremely maligned because of how the Mine 5 alliance bulldozed through the race, like some seasons of Survivor. Honestly, besides DeAngelo, the other members are likeable, and frankly, it was the producers' fault for not being stringent with the sharing of answers. Also, it was nice to see an alliance honoring their word and working together for the most part. (After all, no one was against the Six Pack in TAR10 helping one another.) I thought the beard brothers would be boring, but they were not at all and were genuinely nice.
Other good points regarding TAR32
Nice route
- 1st visit to the Caribbean in a long time, and in a new country
- 1st visit to the Brazilian Amazon
- 2nd visit to Kazakhstan, with a great movie set task
- Very different portrayal of India this time. Hyderabad is at the forefront of all things IT, and India no longer looks as crappy as the earlier seasons. Honestly impressed.
- Return of the Yield, with changes
- Interesting final task with the globe
- Interesting choice to have the final leg memory task moved to the penultimate leg (wasn't expecting that), and the three likeable teams working together to get rid of the 4th in their alliance. Probably the most satisfying penultimate leg since Andy and Tommy being eliminated in TAR19 because of the unexpected taxi alliance. (But I must say, I feel bad for Gary.)
Genius:
Also, 4th post in a row, but I am probably the only one here who does not actively root for all-female teams. I keep seeing posts here decrying that they are disappointed to see the FF teams being eliminated early, but most of the time, those female teams aren't quite interesting.
-------
I normally end up rooting for a co-ed team (usually a couple) because every TAR US season features a final 3 with one co-ed team. (Imagine the shock I got when I watched the first 3 seasons of TAR Canada.)
