TAR Unpopular Opinions

<< < (15/69) > >>

Platrium:
There's this "RFF influence" about the super mega ultra hate on 2 teams, specifically Dave & Connor and Justin & Diana. Unfortunately, or fortunately, no matter how I force myself into the influence, I don't seem to hate them that big. :nut: :peek :hides

Dave & Connor were really good in TAR22, despite all the cancer talk. Their race ended badly and unluckily, so I think they deserved a 2nd chance, which came. During TAR24, they were still okay for me. They may have had the editors' hearts by having them receive the protagonist edit while Brenchel getting the antagonist edit. I was still fine with both teams despite that. The only thing that made me dislike Dave & Connor in the end was when I noticed their roadblock count. It was a horrible 5-8 imbalance. :groan: Part of it was TAR's fault about the ruling, but what the heck! :res:

I'm actually fine with Justin & Diana, no matter how I force myself to "hate" them. :stare During Leg 1, they were pathetic with that stupid mistake. They won Leg 2, so yay! First win! The edit during the earlier legs actually made me think of Tanner & Josh as the villain instead, so I thought: Too bad, Justin & Diana didn't win Leg 3. They may have won Legs 4 and 6 after that, but there were no prizes, so they were still pathetic. Leg 7 they finally won a prize again, so yay! Leg 8 itself was on their side, and Leg 9 didn't like Kelsey & Joey, so lucky them, and Leg 10 was linear, so I ended up rooting for Kelsey & Joey especially on how Justin & Diana won Legs 8, 9, and 10. Leg 11 came, and they finally didn't win. :yess: However, I thought an end like Andy & Tommy's was coming for them, too bad it didn't. I tried to hate Justin & Diana after all the commentaries in Episode 11, :funny:  but I can only come up to a dislike. (I'm rooting for Kelsey & Joey due to their awfully many 2nd places. :hoot: )

gamerfan09:
In what way were Brendon & Rachel the TAR24 antagonists? :lol:

Casuals were SIDING with them during that atrocious season, they only really started being against her from Spain onwards when she started to melt down again lol

I really don't see how Dave got a positive edit considering he was absolutely 100% OTTN on the leg he got U-Turned and the subsequent legs. Editors mellowed them down on 11 and then they won those two final legs along with the hearts of the casuals back :res:

Platrium:
Dave & Connor had a winner's edit. ??? Brenchel weren't antagonistic (and IIRC it was a strategic U-turn rather than a personal one), but they happen to have the edit where they became targets.

That season was really a mess. :lol: From casting, to route, to tasks and leg designs, even in drama, it was overall horrible.

Zack.:
I suspect things like Brenchel unsuccessfully trying to steal the taxi during the finale were production's last-minute attempts to paint them as unlikable (tbh it would've been easier if Dave weren't making petty comments about Rachel every five minutes so...)

Also...I...dont' really like TAR7 at all

 :peek

Andre:
I always love Brendon & Rachel in both seasons. I remember I was rooting for them to win the Las Vegas finale. Too bad they had an acute taxi problem and once again finished 3rd. On TAR20, they are pretty good actually, could possibly win some legs if Dave & Rachel weren't there.

As for Dave & Connor, I don't have any problem with Connor, I thought that he is a strong racer and he was the X factor that bring this team to win 2 legs on TAR22 and eventually win the "all stars". Dave is the major problem for me. He couldn't do a damn thing. The 8-5 roadblock was ridiculous and he is supremely boring. All the talk he made during the race was:

-Cancer(okay, this is tolerable)
-Injury(come on... don't bring this subject again)
-Brendon & Rachel U-Turning them as signs of disrespect to him
-Accidental alliance to kicked out Brendon & Rachel's ass from the race
-He is old
-Forced Connor to do every roadblock, even the easy one
-WHINE!  :gaah:
