Season Premieres (First Legs)
BourkieBoy:
I actually quite enjoyed S25's premiere!
Gave me TAR22 vibes <333
Wadsy:
I was never a huge fan of premiere legs, but there were some that were just fantastic...
TAR 6 - My favourite one in the show. We got to know the teams well, we get introduced to an exotic location that doesn't disappoint, a challenging Detour and we see teams try to take risks only to see them fail, as was the case for Avi & Joe.
TAR 18 - My second favourite. Teams have to endure a starting line challenge before flying to Sydney, Australia for a hell of a first leg. I loved how the two planes were switched in terms of who arrived first, the sights and challenges and Phil's announcement at the Pit Stop. The Manly underwater task was breathtaking as well, something I feel we don't see a lot.
TAR 22 - Yeah, again the race immediately tried something different and took contestants first to French Polynesia for two Roadblocks, a penalty and a close battle.
Hooky:
I'll agree with others in this thread - Season 6 definitely has one of the best first legs ever. Self-driving, beautiful scenery, and more than 42 minutes long gave us a good opportunity to get nicely acquainted with the dynamic cast of that season.
Other standouts include Season 12 (who could possibly forget the infamous donkey mayhem?), Season 14 (loved the scenery, bungie jump and the cheese task), Season 17 (that boat task was geniously designed), and Season 22 (interesting outcome of the sandcastle task).
The worst ones were Season 13 (the editing completely skipped over much of what happened), Season 15 (Japanese game show dominated the leg + Eric & Lisa's unnecessary doom), and Season 18 (I absolutely hated the Amanda & Kris U-turn penalty - it felt like the producers were just trying to get that to happen to Amanda & Kris again).

Best
-------

17 -- That watermelon tho :funny: also slight biased for the nation
14 -- The beautiful scenery, the cheese and an extremly close elimination
Worst
--------
26 -- I think it would've been good if it were a standard length, but I heard that World Order dance far too many times.
24 -- The wedding dresses was okay, but I thought they let Guangzhou down.
