TAR 32 ALLIANCE: Brilliant and/or a Bad thing for TAR itself?

<< < (3/9) > >>

stunami:
My opinion on this whole mess (lol) of alliance is:

It's fine to make small-term alliances, BUT just don't forget it's a race, and there is only one winner.
Yes we had alliances in the past but never to that extend. And in the end, whoever wins will not be seen as a great winning team because people will always remember them as needing the help of other teams to get there, so the last laughs is on the 3-person alliances.

The reason this season's alliance is so annoying is because 1) it's pretty big 2) they never were in danger (and that's because the other teams got themselves out)
It would have been very interesting to see if in leg 6/7/8/9, two members of the alliance being in the bottom and having to fight each other. It would have created a fraction for the remaining of the race. I don't feel bad for Eswar/Aparna and Gary/Deangelo because it's more of a : you lost the own game you were playing kind of thing... (Tho it was dumb of Madison/Riley to burn the u-turn board, to go out of your way to save an ally) I would have let the teams at the bottom battle it out.)

In the end it's a game, tv show , and people are overacting on the internet. People shouldn't be insulted.

I hate this alliance throughout the whole season. Yes, it's currently within the rules, but it makes it extremely boring for viewer, because we know positions won't change, because they are all helping each other during the Race! Is the winner of the season going to split the million dollar cheque five ways? There is nothing wrong whatsoever in helping other teams occasionally at extremely difficult Roadblocks (like a Zodiac symbol or Arabic symbol Roadblock), but helping each other on nearly every single task? That's a big no-no.

If TAR 33 & 34 resume filming once mass vaccination against COVID occurs, I really hope the producers make a rule change, wherein teams cannot make alliances with other teams. Sure, it will be acceptable and be within the rules to work together and help one other team at an extremely difficult Roadblock that everybody is struggling to complete, but not a Mine Five alliance ever again. No more "Accidental Alliance" ala TAR24 again ever. This isn't BB or Survivor.

This season alliance is exactly why I was on the side of Max & Katie/Pam & Winnie/Bate & Anthony/Caroline & Jennifer/Chuck & Wynona alliance against John & Jessica/Joey & Meghan/Mona & Beth alliance. If you recall, the Mine 5 alliance was formed after the teams learned about the Core 3 alliance.

Of course, there's no rule preventing teams from forming alliance to make it to the end & get rid of every other teams but if you're gonna do that, you better be prepare to have other teams ganging up against you to protect themselves.

Like someone said on here, there're pros and cons to every one of the choices we make and to me, the risk of MAYBE not winning the show but having a clean cons-ience and feeling like I get to (re)present my trueself for everyone to see is much worth taking than the risk of becoming the person that I'be ashamed of watching on TV and having to defend against the judgements from the society.

And I believe that would be good for TAR itself.

Declive:
I think it's a great strategy for teams in their goal to win TAR.
For us viewers...not as nice.

This is the first time that an alliance has lasted this long and worked so effectively in making it to the finals. From a racer perspective, this was a smart move. Many of the haters on this season would have done the exact same thing if they were on the racer’s shoes. Even if there was no alliance the top three teams are for the most part the strongest in the group and would likely make it in the final 3 anyway.
