Title: Saddest eliminations
Post by: ch_2836 on July 22, 2008, 02:48:03 PM
I remember these as the saddest eliminations, where the teams were just gutted to be leaving the race...

Nancy & Emily - season 1
Carissa Gaghan - season 8
Lisa & Joni - season 9
Dustin & Kandice - season 10

...any others?

Interesting one!
Where teams were gutted:
Millie and Chuck TAR4
JonVito and Jill TAR11 (they didn't see it coming)
Lorena and Jason TAR12
Monica and Joseph TAR9

Where I was gutted!
Bowling Moms TAR5 (i'm sure they were too!)

I know that few will agree with me on either one of these, but here goes:

AR2 - Wil and Tara get beat my 10 seconds af the Finish Line because Tara can't run like Chris and Alex and loses their lead in a footrace.

AR5 - The meanest bad breaks ever occur when Colin and Cristie, who finished the previous leg 4 hours ahead of a totally undeserving Chip and Kim, face a fog delay, then find an airline availability issue but could have overcome that if it was not for an American Airlines checkin agent giving them bad advice about sending their bags(same thing happened to Nicole and Brandon; due to U.S. post-9/11 restrictions). Then arrangements for pickup at DFW airport are undercut by the limo having to drive on the apron of a congested highway, suffering a flat tire(not shown on TV) and losing by about 10 minutes.

I wasn't bothered by Wil & TAra losing.  After all a big part of the race is being able to move from place to place quickly.  That includes traveling through self navigation, public transportation and physical ability.  That episode featured all of the above.

Now we can certainly argue that the final leg of the race (with the exception of season 8 and 12) are all designed to make it close with equalizers usually in multiple points of that leg (typically most have one towards the beginning).  But unlike some seasons Wil & Tara weren't ahead for most of that full leg, So they actually benefitted from mid episode bunching.  I am more bothered by things like season 9, where a team is in the lead at every point, but lose at the final task.  That bothers me.  At least in season 12 (again because I love the format of that ending) you won or lost all due to your own ability.  As much as I disliked Ron, I would be upset for him (and Christina) if after leading the whole leg, all teams got bunched up to fly to another country (or state).

As for Colin & Christie, yeah that bothered me.  While I didn't like their breakdowns (especially as they directed it at not only themselves or other racers, which I don't judge nearly as harshly) but at service personal and locals (that does piss me off), they raced consistently the strongest for their season (and one of the strongest ever).  While it is true that they could have slept at the airport (which most teams do on the final leg), to see this team as well as Brandon & Nicole (who were consistently better racers then Chip & Kim) get killed by a weather delay and checking baggage really hurt.

mswood, my recollection is that all 3 AR5 finalist teams stayed at a Calgary Airport hotel in one suite. This has no bearing on the sadness of it.
Title: Re: Saddest eliminations
Post by: mswood on July 22, 2008, 10:57:47 PM
Apskip sorry I wasn't clear.  I didn't mean that Chip & Kim didn't go to a hotel as well.  I meant that in several other seasons (and possible because of what happened here), you see teams staying at the airport that night.

I wasn't saying that Chip & Kim would stay all night at the airport (they just had great luck on a leg that they raced fairly poorly on). 

But camping out at the airport (and even then I couldn't understand it throw your belongings away keep a carry on and nothing more).  Would have allowed this team (and Brandon & Nicole to manage the same flights.

But I hated seeing Chip & Kim (who I liked more) win on a leg where they sucked....

I agree with the ones posted above, Lena & Kristy were the first team to come to my mind then Derek & Drew TAR3, I was screaming at the tv as if they could hear me to go back for the clue they missed right along with Flo, I cried when they were eliminated and it instantly made me pull for Flo to win because I felt her sadness.

Gaghans :yes:
Lisa & Joni :yes:
Bowling moms :yes:

Hmm...

Jon/Al (TAR4)
Bowling Moms (TAR5)
Lena/Kristy (TAR6)
Gaghans (TAR8)
Ann/Diane (TARA2)

I have taken a second look at this issue. I have to rate ZachAttack's list the best one I've seen. Jon and Al's elimination as a result of that fog delay from Seoul to Brisbane. The Bowling Moms were the victim of the greatest feat in the history of the Amazing Race - Colin scalling the El Nido cliff in record time to overtake them. Lena and Kristy were the victim of a luck-based task (although Peach has indicated that they missed some envelopes; I looked for such a judgment at the time and never saw one). I still consider them tragic heroines. The red coffee bean task whose completion eluded Tammy Gaghan was also tragic as the best team in AR8 was gone later that leg in Costa Rica.

I have to take exception to Ann and Diane from ARA2. They were a bad joke as far as I could see, continuously creating great emnity from ALL of the other teams. There had to be a reason even though none was shown on camera.

Hayden & Aaron. Competent racers. That key challenge must have been the worst thing ever after the cab nightmare. She could be a pain sometimes, but she wanted it so much. I was really sad when Adam & Rebecca made it and they did not.


However, the proposal made it all good!  :tup:
Title: Re: Saddest eliminations
Post by: Belle Book on July 28, 2008, 05:58:15 PM
My picks for the saddest eliminations are as follows:

1.  Hope & Norm, Season 2
2.  John Vito & Jill, Season 5 & All-Stars
3.  Jon & Al, Season 4
4.  Lena & Kristy, Season 6
5.  The Gaghan family, Season 8 (especially since the Weaver family could've been eliminated that round)!

S7 - Meredith & Gretchen
S8 - The Gaghans
S9 - Fran & Barry
S10 - (tie) Duke & Lauren, Dustin & Kandice

Title: Re: Saddest eliminations
Post by: mswood on September 28, 2008, 02:44:37 PM
There are several that bothered me (not that they weren't far but just because I wanted to see them continue).

Season 1:  Really wasn't emotionally bothered by the elimination order here.  I mean sure I loved Nancy & Emily, but they generally weren't that good of racers.

Season 2:  Mary--Wasn't bothered by Peach, but to see Mary try and try to keep her sister going and know she couldn't continue, that hurt.  Oswald & Danny who were beat far and square but I liked them.
Season 3:  Derek & Drew, completely their fault, but that hurt.
Season 4:  Amanda & Chris one of the few early outs that I really, really liked. 
Season 5:  Dennis & Erika (nice guys did finish last), Jim & Marsha, and the Moms.  Boy their shrieking annoyed me but those gals gave everything.
Season 6:  Avi & Joe (why couldn't have been Adam & Rebecca or Jonathug & Victoria), Hayden & Aaron (Sure she could be annoying, but I really liked him and they certainly were better then Adam & Rebecca) and of course Lena & Christy.
Season 7:  Brian & Greg (I loved those goofs), and I hated to see Debbie & Bianca (Ask for direction next time damn it).
Season 8:  Gaghans...Why oh why couldn't this team made the final three over the weavers.  And Brook, for having to put up with his father.  That really, really bothered me.
Season 9:  Dave & Lori because, they were in love...
Season 10:  Dustin & Kandice, wanted them to be final three and lose.  Oh well there is always next season..he,he
Season 11:  John Vito & Jill
Season 12:  Kynt & Vyxsin and Lorena & Jason.

Well since this is my first time watching past the first show.....my saddest elimination was Mark and Bill.  They were troopers, funny, and worked hard.  They flubbed up but didn't beat themselves up about it.  You can tell these 2 are true friends.  I hope to see them again on TV.

I know that few will agree with me on either one of these, but here goes:

AR2 - Will and Tara get beat my 10 seconds af the Finish Line because Tara can't run like Chris and Alex and loses their lead in a footrace.


Okay, it took a while, because I had to get season one and season two and then find time to watch but I will disagree with you on this one...Will and Tara losing the foot race would have been devastating if Will or Tara were even remotely likeable racers. Neither one of them had even a grain of sense, decency or decorum during this race. Now, I know, it is a competition and a race with a grand prize of 1 million dollars, so one must have some sort of manicalness in them, but, give me a break. Will browbeating Tara and the other competitors every single minute of every single leg and then having the nerve to apologize over and over again only to (television time) minutes later go off again was just east of insane. And Tara doing the same to Will and "fraternizing" with the enemies in just unconscionable. Even may led some to feel that her "tired" run at the end was just a play for Chris and Alex to win. (I had thought that after reading your post and before watching the entire season. I don't believe that now. She was dog tired. But for a million bucks, suck it up!)

As for an elimination that was sad, I would go with Blake and Paige only because in the grand scheme of things they were truly racers who didn't annoy, bitch, badger, condesend or grate on the other racers (and this viewer).

I agree with you about Tara & Wil's elimination not being sad at all!  Until Jonathan the Jerk & Victoria came along, this was my least favorite team!  I was sad that Blake & Paige were eliminated, but even more sad that Danny & Oswald were.

Post by: TARAsia Fan on November 01, 2008, 09:21:52 PM
Will & Tara were the team that were along with Team Guido, the most hated teams in the first two seasons of the race. Actually, now that I have seen Team Guido in a different light and actually talked to them during All Stars, I'll make Will & Tara the most hated team until Jonathan & Victoria.

I was so happy to see Chris & Alex win. Will was a jerk. Tara wasn't much better. She flirted openly with Alex. Come on. What is that? Tara may be a nice person, but she didn't show in TAR2 and I was so happy she and Will lost. Would have been one of the most undeserving teams to win this side of Zach & Flo.

I'll add Bernie & Henry from this latest season of TARA3. Wasn't expected and was very sad for me.

Nancy and Emily - It could have been the guidos!
Lena and Kristy - Damn those haybales!
Meredith and Gretchen - It was sad to see them go!
Gaghans - :(
Linda and Karen - They tried so hard on the last elimination leg.

It's mostly all female teams for me cause i root for them all the time. LMAO.

Well, I don't know about ever - but I have to agree it was very sad. As I said elsewhere, I didn't even  like them till this episode - thought they should have gone ages ago. But boy they sure earned it here - going thru that repeated torture at the holi (admittedly somewhat self-inflicted from not reading the clue as usual - but it did seem the crowd got a lot more vicious after Starr went thru unscathed - I bet the producers told them to let it loose!). And then they (finally) figured out the numbers on the wires by themselves - while the  loserboys would still be there counting cows and crapola if Tina hadn't told them - hope she'll be made to regret it!

Based on not previously posting on this thread and having some opinions about this subject, I have decided to offer this list of 11 teams that I consider to be the saddest elimination ever that season plus the 3 that I think are the sddest overall:

AR1 Nancy/Emily
AR2 Danny/Oswald
AR3 John Vito/Jill
AR4 Jon/Al (my nomination for the saddest elimination ever)
AR5 Linda/Karen
AR6 Bolo/Lori
AR7 Debbie/Bianca
AR8 The Gaghan Family(my nomination for second saddest elimination ever)
AR9 NO TEAM
AR10 Dustin/Kandice(my nomination for the third saddest elimination ever)
AR11 Rob and Amber
AR12 Kynt/Vyxsin

So who really is the saddest EVER?

I'm going to have to pick Stassi Schroeder from the family edition (which NEVER happened).

It was obvious she really wanted to be there and was completely gutted when they went home in Louisianna.

Aside from that:

Kynt and Vyxsin
Gaghan family (This team is a lie)
Lena and Kristy
Brian and Greg
Aaaand:
Kelly and Christy (I know it was completely down to their own stupidity, but I was still sad to see them go home.)

As of Sunday, Toni & Dallas.

I don't find Lori & Bolo's or Rob & Amber's All-Stars elimination sad at all. I was happy to see Rob & Amber leave! And Kynt & Vyxsin really weren't that special a team for me to be terribly sad to see them leave. I was just mad that Nathan & Jennifer escaped elimination.

I pretty much agree with all the others.

That was exactly correct.  Karen did do it and finished that difficult climb. However, she could not come within 20 minutes of the time Colin took to do (maybe 5 to 10 minutes), so they were eliminated at the nearby beach.

I doubt that Colin would be much different as that is his personality. However, those wanting to see Christie do Roadblocks will find that she is quite competent. I am not looking forward to any repeat of All-Stars (I like regular races better), but if there was one the first team I would ask would be Colin/Christie.

4. Jon and Al
5. Linda and Karen
6. Len and Kristi
7. Brian and Greg
8. Gaghan Family

If there was a highlight in Family Edition, it had to be the Gaghan's elimination, I think it has to be the most heartbreaking moment in the Race so far. Come on, what can be sadder than a 10 y/o trying not to cry in Reality Television?

Meredith & Gretchen's elimination wasn't sad, I think it was bound to happen, but it was one of the first seasons where I actually admired the older team, maybe they weren't the most fit team, but they excelled in one of the most important factors to succeed in the race: good teamwork and luck. I think every 4th place team deserves a lot of admiration.

TAR 13 - Marisa & Brooke, Kelly & Christy
TAR 14 - Christie & Jodi

Asian Versions:
TARA 2 - Ann & Diane
TARA 3 - Ida & Tania (see above)

Somehow, I wasn't that saddened by the BQ's elimination in Season 10, considering that I was rooting for Bama the whole time (though I wanted them to stay over Tyler/James) and that they were back to do much better in All-Stars.

TARA 2 - Ann & Diane

When was a last elimination not sad? just look at this picture and tell me which of these teams deserved to be eliminated? (Nate & Jen might spark some controversy, lol)

I will tell you what I think. These teams should have been eliminated:

The Godlewski Family- somewhere at Hotel Irma or travelling 73 miles to Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course the sisters lost a large amount of time. At the golf course Sharon and Michelle, arriving last,  do not focus on completing it quickly. They instead are more intereted in squabbling with each other.

Toni and Dallas- this is the most obvious. I really liked this team but you can't overcome carelessness for whatever reason in a decisive leg; their decision to have Dallas do the Moscow ROADBLOCK and not Toni was a tragic mistake

I think all the rest are pretty sad.

I have to agree with ap on the sisters. As much as I like watching conflict on the race, seeing sisters argue just reminds me of fighting with my sisters. Wasn't sad to see them go.

Kevin and Drew- Didn't Care
Ozzy and Danny (twice)- Didn't Care
Derek and Drew- Didn't Care
Jon and Al- Happy to see them gone since it proved my friend wrong.
Linda and Karen- Very sad to see them go.
Hayden and Aaron- Didn't Care, although I'd rather them over Hellboy
Meredith and Gretchin- Season 7 died for me when Brian and Greg got eliminated.
Godlewski family- Glad to see them go, they annoyed me.
Monica and Joseph- Didn't Care, was cheering for the fratenizers the whole time.
Dustin and Kandice- Glad to see them get the boot. Hated 'em
Nathan and Jennifer- Season 12 died for me when Kynt and Vyxsin got eliminated.
Toni and Dallas- Slightly sad, didn't have time to get emotionally attached so soon after Kelly and Christy.

I wont pass judgement on TARA since I've never watched it.

You should definitely see TARA, I saw the three seasons almost back to back during my extended vacations, it really is unique. Though, the first episodes were a little bit weird, you get used to the different pace, all the extra tasks, a more even camera time distribution, and situations that the American tv corporations would censor.

If there was a highlight in Family Edition, it had to be the Gaghan's elimination, I think it has to be the most heartbreaking moment in the Race so far. Come on, what can be sadder than a 10 y/o trying not to cry in Reality Television

banredbeans,
I can almost agree with you. However, I am already on record that the Gaghan family is the second saddest elimination ever, after Jon and Al in Mooloolaba, Australia as the saddest. The elimination of your family was due to the random-chance aspects of an unfortunate ROADBLOCK. Jon and Al were shafted by the weather and the inability of Korean Airlines to play catchup well enough.

Well, when Carissa's chin started to quiver, and she was trying so hard not to cry, I remember not being as brave AT ALL...I blubbered like a baby.  That moment was a heartbreaker...and one of the best moments in TAR history.

Derek and Drew, Tian and Jaree, Kami and Karli, Lena and Kristy, Meredith and Gretchen, Gaghan, Godlewski, Fran and Barry, Joseph and Monica, David and Mary, Uchenna and Joyce, Oswald and Danny, Toni and Dallas, Terrence and Sarah.

The sadder ones are Gaghan and Lena and Kristy where I cried. Kami and Karli for me, it's just because I love rooting for the underdogs and for 10 legs the twins struggled to stay alive and it was just super exciting each leg to see them get through and not be eliminated.. and when finally they were eliminated, I just can't help but to feel sad because they were a nice team afterall.

9th Place seems like the truly cursed elimination. Almost all of those teams are among my favorites, and almost all of them fall due to bad luck.

If those teams made it past that elimination, I think most of them would have a high probability of making it to the Final 3 and winning. After all, that's exactly what Tammy & Victor did.

the saddest elimination ever was S10: Dustin and Kandice.!!!!!!!! that sucked so much..because they were great competidors..they worked so har..but saddely, bad luck hit them on that 10 leg...but at least they came back on the all-stars season; where they rocked all thae way winning the most legs but unfortunely were robbed again.!
But they still are the best-ranked all-female team EVER....and also, people remember them for their competitive spirit and for beating the intersected fast-forward team (that was epic).
Since Rob Mariano has been in three seasons of survivor, i hope they decide to do an another all-stars amazing race, and put them again on the race, that will be awesome..!!!!! <3 Dustin And Kandice <3

·Hearing a confessional of the Bowling Moms while they were paddling to the PitStop.
·Hearing a sweet and peaceful Philippinean voice in TAR 5.
·Hearing Phil eliminating them.
·Seeing them leaving the race.

TAR 5: Kami and Karli (Chip and Kim won!)
TAR 7: Meredith and Gretchen (Uchenna and Joyce won, which saved the season for me)
TAR 12: (Favourite team came in first and second, saddest moment was Ron and Chris not winning)
TAR 14: Christie and Jodi, Kisha and Jen, Mel and Mike (Thank God overall favourite Tammy and Victor won)
TAR 15: (Favourite team came in first and third)

NEUTRAL
TAR 6: Lena and Kristy (Kris and Jon didn't win....)
TAR 8: Gaghans (SIGH)

BAD SEASONS FOR ME
TAR 4: Tian and Jaree (Kelly and Jon didn't win...)
TAR 9: (Like none of the teams particularly, saddest moment was BJ and Tyler winning)
TAR 10: David and Mary (SIGH, Bamas didn't win either)
TAR Allstars: Uchenna and Joyce, Oswald and Danny (SIGH)
TAR 13: Terence and Sarah, Toni and Dallas (Bad bad season like Allstars, favourite team came in 4th and 5th)
TAR 16: Jody and Shannon, Steve and Allie (Jet and Cord, didn't win. Sigh)

From season 12 onwards, besides Ron and Chris and Tammy and Victor which i particularly like... i have no overwhelming sadness as of those eliminations in earlier season. I remembered myelf tearing when Gaghans, Meredith and Gretchen and Lena and Kristy were eliminated.

On Season 6: Jonathan and Victoria.

Ethiopia was very very beautiful, both scenery, culture, and people. And for the craziest couple to go through a descending drama (starting from bickering up to "we're-throwing-the-white-flag" check-in at Pitstop), tears ran down to my cheeks.

Even though they were fighting, Jonathan praising himself, Victoria whining, I really liked them because they were entertaining. For me, this was a sad elimination.

BTW, why weren't they chosen to be on All-Stars? ??? They should have been!  :groan:

the saddest elimination ever was S10: Dustin and Kandice.!!!!!!!! that sucked so much..because they were great competidors..they worked so har..but saddely, bad luck hit them on that 10 leg...but at least they came back on the all-stars season; where they rocked all thae way winning the most legs but unfortunely were robbed again.!
But they still are the best-ranked all-female team EVER....and also, people remember them for their competitive spirit and for beating the intersected fast-forward team (that was epic).
Since Rob Mariano has been in three seasons of survivor, i hope they decide to do an another all-stars amazing race, and put them again on the race, that will be awesome..!!!!! <3 Dustin And Kandice <3

I was unhappy about Dustin/Kandice's elimination in AR10, but they were responsible for it themselves by missing the North American Ranch and Horse Farm sign in Idelssan. It was not bad luck that did them in. In AR11 they finished second because of an inferior taxi driver from Oakland International Airport to the Grateful Dead House and then to the Old Mint.

I disagree with you...they make a mistake by missing the farm..mistakes come from bad luck not from no being responsible.! And if you re-watch the season 11 finale...you'll see that Dustin and Kandice arrive FIRST at the Old Mint, then they left in second from there and ultimately hit the mat as 2nd place....i had no idea about that slow cab from the airport to the grateful dead house.!!

The only time I've cried while watching TV has been:
·Hearing: GO KAREEEN!!
·Hearing a confessional of the Bowling Moms while they were paddling to the PitStop.
·Hearing a sweet and peaceful Philippinean voice in TAR 5.
·Hearing Phil eliminating them.
·Seeing them leaving the race.

For me, that has been the saddest moment in the history of TV (IMO), and another sad moment was NOT seeing the Bowling Moms in TARAllStars.

I agree too. The serene place of Palawan + elimination of the mommies = :'( :'( :'(
BTW, try Philippine (instead of Philippinean) :lol:

Here are my list of saddest elims:

S1: David and Margaretta
S2: N/A
S3: N/A
S4: N/A
S5: Charla and Mirna, Nancy and Emily Linda and Karen
S6: N/A
S7: Meredith and Gretchen
S8: Gaghan Family
S9: Fran and Barry
S10: David and Mary, Peter and Sarah
S11: Oswald and Danny, David and Mary
S12: Kynt and Vyxsin
S13: Toni and Dallas, Kelly and Christy
S14: Christie and Jodi, Mel and Mike
S15: Eric and Lisa, Maria and Tiffany
S16: Carol and Brandy (for me), Jody and Shannon, Steve and Allie

I agree with Charla and Mirna and Meridth and Gretchen

I'd say that the 3 saddest for me have been:
3rd: Monique & Shawne. I can't resist eliminations being at nights. It is as if teams were left in the middle of the road in the middle of the night... :(
2nd: Meredith & Gretchen. They would have rocked in the final leg. Same as Monique & Shawne too.
1st: Linda & Karen! I said that before.

Zev & Justin.  I wanted to root for them so much since Zev was an Aspie like I am.  But the passport thing was just devastating.

Maria & Tiffany.  That damn Detour was too physical either way, and hopefully, the producers will learn from that fiasco and not ever make two physical Detours again in case of a women's team making it that far.

Also agreeing with Monique & Shawne.  That leg was just way too physical for them, and the lasso didn't help them at all.

Joe & Heidi.  Joe wasn't my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, but seeing him trying to comfort Heidi, who was trying so hard not to cry, in the trenches while they were both so cold was heartbreaking.  And all because their race was ended by two douchebags who didn't think strategically, but instead made things completely personal with them (with Joe, especially), yet are still so loved around here for some reason.

This is numero uno in my book. Everyone ought to at least be able to board that first flight abroad and run a leg. The only thing that tempered my disappointment a bit was when I read that they were recruited. At least this wasn't a couple who had watched every episode and applied and gone through all of the excitement only to get crushed immediately.

Just looking through 15 and the Maria and Tiffany elimination is a bitter one to swallow.  Not only on physical strength but on arm strength, hitting a very big golf ball and having to pass a fairground strength test.  I was happy they survived Zev and Justin (even though they were chosen for the Unfinished Business) as they had helped someone else in the scarf shop which actually put them at risk in that leg.  And even if they were given the answer to counting the bells, it wasn't that hard a task for most of them anyway and it wasn't like they were asking for the answer.  I thought they gave all they could on the legs.  I can't even see a thread for them here which I find rather disappointing.

Zev and Justin pretty much went out on carelessness so it was just their fault really.  Despite that they were given a chance on unfinished business, which actually they were pretty good on.  But based on this season I would have preferred Maria and Tiffany.

Another sad elimination would be the girls who did the haystack task all night.  Actually it is always sad when a task is too hard to complete and someone can't even make the pitstop. 

I'm sure there's some others but it's hard to remember them all.

I actually felt more sorry for Zev and Justin second time around, though it was still not among the saddest for me.  But the fact that they did all that waxing, and then got taunted on the final task (a stupid processional one making some cocktails) made it a less pleasant exit.

Post by: Jimmer on May 20, 2012, 11:13:39 AM
The second Zev & Justin, I felt, wasn't that sad. Zev couldn't dance and they picked the wrong side or the detour. They already raced 11 legs and they didn't miss out on any cultures.

Yeh it wasn't really sad for Zev and Justin there, just a a bit unsatisfying.  The leg designs towards the end with processional things like the chimney sweep task and that cocktails task were the points where the season started to fall short of classic I thought.

And I agree on Duke and Lauren, the taxi driver and his friend who hitched a ride really swindled them.  That was definitely a bitter one.

I was sad to see Bill and Cathi go, though their navigation was terrible in the race.  Not the fault of taxi driver there from what I remember.

Haven't seen Jet and Cord on their original season, in Unfinished Business though I found them quite dull.

Anne-Marie & Tracy on TAR AU 1.

A quick summary of their elimination.

Show content
They and Mo & Mos were at the RB at the pit stop . RB was arrange 12 lanterns representing the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. If it was done right a gate would open to show the pit stop. Mo & Mos took the penalty. Then it showed Anne-Marie & Tracy trying their heart out at the RB. Then it shows Anne-Marie & Tracy walking thought the gate. At the mat, Grant tells Mo & Mos and the viewers that Anne-Marie & Tracy also took a penalty, meaning that Mo & Mos were still in the race and that Anne-Marie & Tracy had been eliminated.

I agree with those who mentioned Charla and Mirna.  I was really annoyed when I looked through AR5 as they went too soon.  It was mainly Mirna I missed though as she was both funny and also played a good role in the game opposing Colin's group.  I think the season did recover but it just felt wrong at that point.

Actually in All Stars I thought Rob and Amber went too early, as they were good competitors and it seemed a waste that they left just on a chance task of finding the right envelope.

I have seen a few people mention Emily and Nancy. Don't get me wrong I rooted for Mommily all the way.  :<3

However, they got what they deserved. If they had worked harder, then they could have avoided elimination. By not completing the task and giving up, they essentially quite.

There legacy, and its a great one, is when you hear another team discuss how you never give up. Its true, you never know!

By the end of Season 2 I really could careless who was going to win. However, you could really feel the loss for Will. He knew he lost the race, his wife, and it was all on TV.

Azaria & Hendekea instead of one of the season 14 teams would be awesome. I can imagine the siblings racing in UB. On the other hand, Nathan & Jennifer... did they break up after the Race after "hating each other with a passion?

I agree with Peach about Eric and Lisa.  So much goes into being able to take off to be on the race and then to never even get to race is beyond sad.

Aiellos was so unfair too.

Post by: lilbro on March 24, 2013, 07:15:26 AM
saddest elimination in my opinion is there a team that struggled hard but failed due to their bad luck.. not because a team that i rooted for is eliminated..

S6:
lena & kristy: 8 hours in a roadblock, and they were eliminated without finishing it

S12:
lorena & jason.. 'please, lord, give me milk!' lorena even finished that roadblock twice because the first one she drunk in front of a person who she thought a judge.. continuing on their next leg where they were u-turned eventhough they were far behind
nate & jen.. they want to finish first at least once and eliminated on her birthday..


S15:
zev & justin.. they even had to forget their first place reward..
maria & tiffany.. bad leg design where both detour were physical.. they were still standing on the detour as the sun set until phil had to eliminate them there

S17:
gary & mallory.. getting lost for an hour is really frustrating, let alone 8 hours.. and they were happy when seeing another car passed, giving them a hope only for realized they eliminated by minutes
nick & vicki.. vicki struggled hard to stay on that leg while nick single-handedly caused their elimination..

S18:
margie & luke.. 4 hours drinking tea is really not pleasant.
zev & justin.. a team whom they helped along the race were celebrating zev&justin's loss

S21:
abbie & ryan.. they failed to depart twice on their time on that leg only to realize they were u-turned

Nice list and race-wise reasoning. lilbro. :) Nathan & Jennifer's weren't as what you called sad though. By the time they finished the stone path Detour, if they had chosen to take a taxi to the Pit Stop instead of arguing for a weird subway & metro combo, they would have made the final 3.
Title: Re: Saddest eliminations
Post by: BuuYaa on March 24, 2013, 09:06:25 AM
As far as I could remember :
Season 21 : -Amy&Daniel. Probably the saddest elimination I have ever seen. And it was in Indonesia which is where I live. And also it wasn't their mistake on some level. I was so crushed.
Season 18 : -Zev&Justin.
Season 17 : -Gary&Mallory.
Season 16 : -Carol&Brandy .... LMFAO  :lol3: Just kidding!!!
Season 15 : -Mika&Canaan. well it wasn't really Mika, it was Canaan actually. They would have survived if it weren't for Mika's fear. Canaan seemed so crushed when FlightTime&BigEasy passed'em
Season 14 : -Kisha&Jen. They won UB later so I am happy  :hrt:
Season 13 : -Toni&Dallas
Season 11 : -Oswald&Danny. Although I was so upset when they cut a deal for money with Dustin&Kandice to YIELD Eric&Danielle when Mirna&Charla were happy to lend'em some.
Season 09: -Joseph&Monica. I was super upset because they got so close to make it to the final three,while The Skinny Hipsters (I forgot their names) made it (no,I didn't forget I just hate to mention'em)
Season 07: -Brian&Greg+Megan&Heidi
Season 05: -Charla&rMirna
Season 03: -Derek&Drew
Season 02: -Oswald&Danny
Season 01: -Nancy&Emily. Had they completed the Detour, UUUUGH!!!!

i thought they took a cab after the detour to the pitstop.. and what is the difference between subway and metro? :D
but you're right, they were 5-10 minutes behind nick & don so if they had taken a taxi they would have been in final 3 :)

Post by: gamerfan09 on March 24, 2013, 10:45:45 AM
SEASON 15: Maria and Tiffany
A great F/F team spent the WHOLE DAY at the Detour and were eliminated without finishing it.

SEASON 19:BILL AND CATHI.
It was really sad because while they were in last, they reflected on what they did, and it was just a great montage and made me even sadder because Bill and Cathi is my most favorite team since Ron and Christina.

SEASON 20: VANESSA AND RALPH
Despite the fact that I like Brendon and Rachel too, this team was fun to watch during the fights. And it was absolutely sad that they lost by probable minutes, which was shocking considering they were really BEHIND at the Roadblock.

SEASON 21: AMY AND DANIEL
A strong and likable team destroyed by a horrible taxi. The best example of how taxis can ruin your time on The Amazing Race.

When I was young and had emerging hormones and more worked up when watching TAR, I remembered being devastated when:

Tian and Jaree
Kami and Karli
Lena and Kristy
Meredith and Gretchen
Gaghans
David and Mary

Got eliminated.

As I grow up, these are the teams which I think really has an unjustified and unfair elimination:

Steve and Allie
Nary and Jaime and Mark and Bopper cause TAR 20 is horribly lousy with linear legs.
Ryan and Abbie

Post by: Daniel on April 02, 2013, 05:46:06 AM
In my personal opinions...

The most recent one- 21 - Abbie & Ryan. Can't believe how I hated them at first...

15 - Eric & Lisa, that 'twist' was probably one of the biggest mistake TAR have ever done, especially they looked like a strong team that could have gone far.

Amanda & Kris - on both seasons. Imagine how far they would've gone if those (both) U-Turns didn't exist.

12 - Nate & Jen. Their elimination was just simply so sad for me. I always hate bickering couples but they're one of my exceptions!

10 - Dustin & Kandice. Their interview after their elimination was so heartbreaking..Is it just me or Phil kinda sighed when he saw D/K running up the stairs, when he was about to eliminate them?

9 - MoJo - The only likable team out of the F4 in my opinion.

5 - Bowling Moms - Even if they wouldn't have won, they would have made a WAY better history as the first F/F team to enter the F3 instead of Lyn & Karlyn. And Charla & Mirna!

That's all I can think now. Even though I know there are more sadder eliminations than those!

Other's that top my saddest elimination list, for me anyway include -

S9 - Fran & Barry
S21 - James & Abba
S22 - Chynona
S23 - Chester & Ephraim
S24 - Not so much an elimination but Bopper not being able to race!   :(
And of course Mark & Mallory's entire meltdown.

TARAus2 - Ross & Tarryn
TAR Canada - Hal & Joanne

I remember feeling really sad while Kami & Karli were eliminated back when I first watched. But upon rewatching, not much. Since it's all because their own hilariously mistake? Lol, starting from the flight issue (Lying to the ground attendant in Bangkok that they were on the flight <3333333), Getting lost for like 1000 times, Choose the obviously slower Detour just because they rather be in the hot mud right now :lol: OMG

The one that were really emotional were BQ (The editing when they're running up the Barcelona's stair and crying was really heartbreaking esp with their eliminated conf at the end :(), Maria & Tiffany (Really sad to see them go, they really DID TRY but the leg designing was so unfair for the F/F team) and Nate & Jen (Them hugging at the end was <3, btw I think this leg was really rigged for the Speedbump team. Why did you put the SB right before the bunching on the train? It make no sense at all and make SB really pointless. I really dislike this leg in general anyway since all task can be done in almost every Asian Country and it looked like it take like 5 mins to complete each task this leg. Walking on the rock path? Sitting on the car? Drink a cup of tea? Really?) -___-

The Ice Girl's elimination and Kym & Ali's was pretty sad too. But mostly because of the editing.

With an exception of Tanner/Josh and Tian/Jaree, all of my favorite teams have reached the final leg, so by default, Tanner/Josh is my answer.

Charla/Mirna's elimination was also very sad, they were my second favorite team both seasons.

any big/hardcore fans eliminations is heartbreaking, they apply for years and then their dream get crushed (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/crying2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862497)

Definitely reminded me of Dennis & Isabelle versus Shelley & Nici in season 25 leg 2  :'(

Shelly & Nici are queens they were AMAZING way better than that Isabel & Dennis and also Keith & Whitney

The saddest elimination has to be Maria and Tiffany,Bunnies,and Odviously the robbing of the BQS in both seasons  :furious:

If I recall correctly, Dustin is a part-time singer performed under her family's band with her brothers and her parents. Miss America has the talent portion, while rival pageantry Miss USA does not but it represents USA for Miss Universe.

U really love that pee-on-boat scene dontcha? (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/embarrassed2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862502)
they quite drama queen alright but its way too much for me (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/expulsion-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862503)
they crushed nashville team so hard, Whitney who i love so much if i might add, get eliminated in tears (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/desperate2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862500)

That boat scene was funny, but very cringey hahahaha NOT their finest hour.

Also, I actually find Keith & Whitney to be my least favorite team in season 25  :drama though that season still has the best over-all cast in the recent seasons, including them! :lol:

One elimination that was just plain heartbreaking to me was Lena & Kristy in season 6. I knew of the gravity of what happened in the haybale Roadblock before I even watched the season, but watching it play out was soul-crushing  :'( That tiniest sliver of hope of finding the clue, then just hoping it was a non-elimination, getting smaller and smaller until it shattered when Phil came to the fields... damn  :'(

I'm adding Kelly & Christy from TAR10, because you could tell that they were really heartbroken over not being able to complete the flaming arrows roadblock in Mongolia.
