Gimmick Seasons

<< < (3/5) > >>

theschnauzers:
The only “gimmick” should be the most competitive teams they can get, with the most interesting route the budget allows, and tasks that make sense for each location.

It’s probably the biggest reason the ratings improved so much.

I’d find it great if they brought back Bilal and Sa’eed or Eric and Lisa and they ended up winning the whole thing  :funny:

Those two, had they gotten past their sudden eliminations, could probably be damn strong teams in the running. Eric & Lisa looked ferocious and seemed prepared to take down their competition at any cost. And Bilal & Sa'eed were in the lead starting off in Seattle. Had they gotten a better taxi driver in Beijing, it would have been bye-bye Cho Bros. I honestly loved the energy they had and was sad they were out at the midpoint.
I would also like to see a "second chance" season with very early eliminated teams.

I hope they bring back teams that were eliminated for a second chance and team TMZ gets eliminated on the first leg again. Ugh, imagine taking 4+ hours to solve a 4by4 slider puzzle.

Gra1162:
I want Andi and Jenna back for the early boot season they just got a horrbiw driver in leg 2 they could have been 6th to the pit stop

jfarbzz:
I'd love a first boot season. I've always had some rules if there ever was one:
a) Teams must have been eliminated on the first leg (Sorry Ethan & Jenna/Ron & Bill/Marty & Hagan)
b) Teams must have actually completed a full leg and have been eliminated on a mat (Sorry Dana & Adrian/Kelly & Shevonne)
c) Bilal & Sa'eed and Eric & Lisa are automatically in because of how stupid their eliminations were.

I wonder what cast we could get out of this. Some teams I think would be good

Matt & Ana: the first first boots

Avi & Joe: As a fellow Jew from the NY area, I liked them and think they should be back

Ryan & Chuck: Were pretty intelligent for two southern guys, knew Portuguese, and lost a close footrace

Bilal & Sa'eed

Arthur & Anita: They'd probably be the oldest contestant ever, but why not?

Eric & Lisa

Ron & Tony: idk I liked them

Misa & Maiya: All these team by definition have unfinished business, but there's no bigger unfinished business than somehow missing the pitstop right in front of you

Jeff & Lyda: The last real old couple and the only victims of a first-leg U-Turn

Kevin & Jenn: Lost because of a penalty that wasn't their fault

Dessie & Kayla: Lost the closest finish in TAR history
