Joys & Disappointments of TAR 27

<< < (4/7) > >>

NMC:
Joys:
- Probably the best final Leg in years.
- An outstanding Cast overall.  (With the exception of "Thou Who Shall Not be Named")
- Amazing locations.  :luvya:
- A good Starting Line Task.
- A decent winning team.  (One of the few M/F Winners that I don't actually mind)

Disappointments:
- The EDITING!!!!
- NO FULL INTRO FOR THE FINAL EPISODE!!!!!!!!  :groan:  (:;)  :gaah:
I actually tolerated producers removing the intro during the middle episodes, PROVIDING they used the full intro for Episode 1, AND the final Episode.  Could they not just cut 30 seconds of Justin's arrogance one time??!!!  :gaah:

- Awful boot order for most the Race.  :(
- Sooooooo many linear Legs.
- All the U-Turn talk that between Justin & Diana and Tanner & Josh, which amounted to nothing.
- All the EP talk, that again, amounted to NOTHING.
- The Dominance of an Awful Team.  :groan:

RaceUntilWeDie:
Probably my biggest joy and SURPRISE:
After a season of linear legs and underwhelming challenges... the finale was the best since, like, Season 21? Funnily, Season 21 is another season that received negative reactions during the season but ended up having a great final leg.

Season 25 is probably my favorite of the HD seasons, but I have to agree with others who think it's overrated -- ESPECIALLY the finale. Giving a manila envelope, jumping through glass, rescuing a dummy? Lame. The final task was really the only good task in that finale. Season 27 was basically the same, as I mentioned in the live thread, but the big plus was the small memory tasks they included.

RaceUntilWeDie:
Joys:
- Saying "MAY be eliminated" on Leg 1.
- Tiffany & Krista :hrt:
- Denise & James Earl :hrt:
- Tanner & Josh :hrt:
- The Water Show Roadblock was one of the coolest challenges (visually)
- First season to visit 10 countries since Season 27 :o
- This season had more suspenseful finishes than Season 26

Disappointments:
- Saying "WILL be eliminated" on Leg 11.
- Express Pass twist is meh. I prefer one team holding two and having to give it away by Leg 4 or 5.
- Tanner & Josh's Speed Bump :gah:
- Basically new twist they tried this season didn't work
- EDITING

Theo:
Joys:
1. This horrible season is finally over
2. [redacted] does not win
3. 10/11 teams are amazing
4. Zimbabwe and Zambia

Disappointment:
1. editing
2. leg structure
3. [redacted]
4. no self driving

Platrium:
I've been reminded. :wise

Joys:
3 U-turns in 1 season. I think they just broke down a W-turn into 2 legs, so it became 1 W-turn + 2 single U-turns. Still, I like how they have more U-turns despite the lack of FF this season.

I forgot mentioning the views in Africa. :lol: They're the best views this season. :luvya:

Disappointments:
Besides the 1st elimination, the boot order was tragic, disappointing, sad, heart-melting, plus whatever other adjectives that're related.
Adam & Alex: Since I didn't see much from them, I can't say much. :( I just know they have potential after their Leg 1 impressions.
Ernest & Jin: Performed well on their last leg. Very entertaining too! :(
Jazmine & Danielle: I was rooting for them before the race, but I think they were underdeveloped. :( Still, they had potential IMO.
Cindy & Rick: Potentially strong team, but can't keep a lead; could be able to win a leg though. :(
Tanner & Josh: They were strong, but their downward spiral... :(
Denise & JE: Although not strong, I'm glad they showed us enough on the race. Still a sad elimination for them. :(
Tiffany & Krista: After what happened in their last roadblock, their elimination was sad. And unlike some other weak girl teams, they showed some potential during Zimbabwe, France, and the Netherlands. Sadly, their time had to come; still a sad elimination too. :(
If there's anyone who I wouldn't be sad about, it's probably gonna be the Paparazzi since I don't think I really like them in the 1st place, and Justin & Diana towards the latter parts of the race (If they were 1st boots, it would be really sad I think).

No self-driving leg just hurts. Ford possibly dropping out made this season worse to a certain degree. Without a self-driving leg, TAR can't ever be the same. Ford, :dontgo:

This one is both a joy and a disappointment: 1st leg, "may be eliminated;" penultimate leg, "will be eliminated."
