What is each season's iconic/signature moment?
« on: April 30, 2020, 05:42:06 PM »
So, what do you think would be each season's iconic, signature or most memorable moment?

Obviously, something like Brooke & Claire's Watermelon would be TAR17's iconic moment. Colin and his carabao friend in the Philippines could be TAR5's. Basket boats and bikes in Vietnam could be TAR3's.

But what do you think? What moments define each season for you?

Kisha & Jen losing their spot to Jaime & Cara in the TAR14 final leg due to need to use the bathroom.

I think this last season's voting U-Turn was pretty iconic.

S21: Uturn plot again Abbie & Ryan
S25: Fast Forward race
I think the Beekmans winning S21 is the most iconic aspect, especially if the many, many delays can be factored in.

S13: Holi festival RB/Dandrew marching
S16: Cowboys going from worst to first while beating a Speed Bump

Nat & Kat being the first F/F team to win pops into my mind as a defining moment for Season 17.

For Season 15, the Mika waterslide fiasco is probably the most memorable moment, or at least the most infamous  :funny:

Bookworm: I'd say 16's was Carol & Brandy vs. Caite. First time there was ever a fight at the finish line.

Season 7 with the Finale remains the most satisfying moment in the history of the show, even after 31 seasons.

Season 10 had the 6 pack alliance, which upon rewatch, didn't care for.

Season 15 had FT&BE essentially giving up on the leg right before the finale

For TAR8, I'd like to offer a few:
-Mama Weaver almost getting run over by an Amish buggy.
-The Paolos wearing their underwear over their clothes.
-The Weavers late-night bus ride breakdown

lol

TAR11 definitely has to be the entire final sequence of Charla & Mirna vs Rob & Amber. Including everything from "deceased grandmother" to the elimination lol
