I was bored by the team's dynamics and there seemed to be nobody to actively root for. I missed those days when I could depend my hopes on all-female teams or old couples surviving or bottom godding each leg....
I've been a Long time fan since I was ten and I gotta say... Survivor managed to intrigue and garner back my attention after Survivor Cambodia with Game Changers...
Now I need TAR to bring back the olden days TAR, where flight drama was constant, getting lost on taxis were frustrating and hilarious, tasks were lame but totally challenging/funny - eating caviar/meat/cheese rolling/hay bales etc. Nowadays, more of the tasks seemed to be extremely non-memorable (repetitive) and most part of the race seemed to be getting from one point to another, complete a task, get to another point, complete a task, pit stop. Especially with this season where the teams had no prior relationship, their drama with each other are always repetitive, similar, non-changing and got tiring after awhile.
When TAR was about to get cancelled on Season 4, they revamped the route, introduced the Yield, and reduced the FF etc.
I wish that they can look into the teams dynamics (stop casting just young and energetic teams or models or social media stars etc.) and most importantly, plan a route which allows for flight drama to occur. I know sometimes when one team is left behind the result becomes melodramatic, but that's just the last 5-10 mins?
And the tasks! Not some window cleaning! Include some local flavour. Especially those which requires the racers to dress up in hedious outfits to perform a task etc
And the lack of luck based tasks... not too many of them!! But I love them! Fun luck based tasks!
