Let's start a thread to discuss the most epic moments in TAR.
Pretty high up there for me is:

-
CHARLA AND MIRNA.... everything about them is EPIC.
-
The first two times that the two uturns from a double uturns were used (Bangladesh in TAR17 & Kunming in TAR18), the one in China being also epic because of the dinosaur task :hrt: :ascared :hearts:
-
Those were pretty epic, Flamant! :hrt:
Here's one from one of my favorite episodes of all time: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9181/epict.jpg
And everything about Gary and Mallory is epic! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
-
I am sure I will come with more after I think about this more, but for starters I nominate Dustin and Kandice driving past the olive mill at the North American Ranch in Idelssan, Morocco in AR10 that led directly to their elimination during the next leg in Barcelona.
-
How could I forget the finale of AR2 where Wil/Tara played cat-and-mouse taxi games after getting simultaneous taxis on the way to the pit stop at East Fort Baker. The result was Wil/Tara getting there first and starting a long run to the Finish Line. Alex and Chris overtook them and finished about 10 seconds ahead.
-
Colin using an ascender up the Lagen Wall near El Nido Island in the Philippines to overtake Karen in AR5.
-
The pullback in the AR7 finale into the jet-way in San Juan International Airport ordered by an American Airlines pilot to add Uchenna/Joyce to the flight which Rob and Amber were already on.
-
Kristy unrolling 100+ hay bales and not finding a single clue, a most statistically unlikely event, at Bogs Gard farm in AR6.
-

Definitely this one.
Anything Brooke and Claire did\said was pretty epic. :lol:
I thought Tammy and Victor's overarching journey was epic since they figured out how to work together. I also thought Kisha and Jen winning was epic for two reasons: 1) I didn't expect it to happen in a million years :lol: 2) They overcame their fear of water and 3) They justified Tammy and Victor U-Turning them in TAR 14.
-
Ari and Staella vs. the donkey in AR12 episode 1 at Cleggan Farm, Ireland.
-
The finale of AR14 at the ROADBLOCK with Luke placing surfboards against Victor and Cara. He could not get the final two and was overtaken by Victor (who went on for the win) and Cara (who finished second).
-
To be more recent: the footrace Ernie & Cindy vs Andy & Tommy in Malawi :lol:
-
Charla & Mirna vs Rob & Amber ant the End of the World :lol: Nothing can beat that. :hearts:
-
Brian and Greg flipping their car and coming back to stave off elimination. No other moment on TV has made me jump out of my seat, and it was then that I knew I wanted to be on TAR.
-
Who can forget Lance and Keri's elimination in Dubai :hrt: :hrt: :hrt: :hrt: :hrt:
-
Who can forget Lance and Keri's elimination in Dubai :hrt: :hrt: :hrt: :hrt: :hrt:
"Go on the Race they say; see the world!" :lol3:
-
Charla & Mirna vs Rob & Amber ant the End of the World :lol: Nothing can beat that. :hearts:
OMG that was the best! Mirna = :colors :hearts:
-
Yes! The footrace between Romber and Charla & Mirna for me too was soo EPIC!!
Also Peter & Sarah driving lost in Kuwait for hours and they got eliminated and broke up indirectly on the spot.
-
BQs yielding Eric and Danielle TWICE. The second Yield in Macau is probably one, if not the best, best usage of a race power in the entire race history.
-
I think the very first yield was the best yield/u-turn.
To add to this topic, any moment from Colin & Christie.
-
Andre and damon moorco taxi thing that cuase their elimatoin
-
Kami/Karli swimming to the pit stop
Heather/Eve arriving first with a 37 minute penalty and then having 8 teams pass them in that time causing their elimination :lol:

Let's start a thread to discuss the most epic moments in TAR.
Pretty high up there for me is:

I seem to be the only one around here who hated that moment. :'(
An epic one in a bad way for me was Lena/Kristy's final roadblock for obvious reasons.
Epic in a hilarious way was the Weaver's reaction to getting yielded for the second time in the race.
-
I hated that moment too Saravannan. :(
-
I think Caite U-Turning Brandy & Carol in Singapore was quite epic :lol: And everything what Brandy said after that :lol:
-
I think Caite U-Turning Brandy & Carol in Singapore was quite epic :lol: And everything Brandy said after that :lol:
Yep, Brandy is the ultimate mood-killer. With everyone about to start hugging and congratulating each other at the finishing line, she upstages the final three with a hilarious rant at Caite!
-
Here's a few I can remember -
TAR 1:
Nancy and Emily VS Joe vying for Fast Forward. Joe and Bill decided to be "smart" and take a bus to the pitstop, ended up behind ALL the other teams.. but still survived because Nancy and Emily did not do the Detour. -.-
TAR 2:
Tara and Wil VS Chris and Alex finish line run. :meow:
TAR 3:
Flo's breakdown in Vietnam... heck, the rest of the world. The moments where she threw her bicycle helmet, sat in the "round boat" Detour and started whining about everything. I wished there was a U-TURN then, would have been the most epic moment EVER on the race. And... eventually winning. How can Flo not be the epic moments queen? She is like the Sugar in Gabon that made TAR 3 interesting. :lol:
TAR 5:
Colin overtaking Bowling Moms at the Roadblock in Philippines, was a pretty heartbreaking moment for fans of the latter.
Kami and Karli, stuck at the airport and couldn't get a flight, looking at the camera saying "We're clueless" :lol:
Kami and Karli doing the SKYDIVING Detour and still checking in 5th place. -.- (One of the worst planned Detour choices)
TAR 6:
Freddy vomitting into his Hungarian soup in a TAR 6 Roadblock and drinking everything back.
Next table away, Rebecca finished hers like a soup machine. :lol:
Hayden VS Rebecca in China.. the Roadblock where they had to find a key to the locks available. Rebecca found hers minutes before the closure of the Roadblock location. Hayden failed to do so and had a bruise on her thumb after the Roadblock... and a proposal!
Lena unrolling haybales for 8 hours. :'(
TAR 7:
Gretchen's fall into a cave and emerging with a bloody head.
Ray and Deana VS Brian and Greg pitstop run (with Meredith and Gretchen already checked-in in 5th)
Susan and Patrick VS Debbie and Bianca 4KG MEAT of eating, with several teams choosing to do a Romber and quit the Roadblock. -.- (Bringing the Survivor strategy and hate from loyal TAR fans)
Rob telling Meredith and Gretchen "did you find an earlier flight".. making Uchenna and Joyce worried and they FOUND ONE and shared it with Meredith and Gretchen, making stupid Romber in 3rd place.
Uchenna and Joyce winning the race... all the taxi paying drama before that was epic to the max. Helps with the fact that Patrick was chanting "Uchenna and Joyce... Uchenna and Joyce" at the finishing line.
Meredith and Gretchen beating Lynn and Alex at F5.
Meredith and Gretchen surviving till the final 4.
Meredith and Gretchen signing autographs for the people in India.
TAR 8:
Mama Paolo: "Who wants to go to Phoenix, Arizona?", "I want to go to New Zealand!" :lol:
Paolo Family, thinking they might get eliminated start putting on many clothes, saw the Bransen Family coming in and ran to the pitstop. Phil went... "You look ridiculous"
Weaver Family sitting on the Yield Mat and had McDonalds. -.-
Gaghan Family getting eliminated. Little Carissa crying = :'( Damn that COFFEE BEAN that Tammy couldn't find!!!!!! :'(
TAR 9:
Fran and Barry checking in first in Oman. Major SHOCKER.
Danielle and Dani getting eliminated because of Lake and Michelle's Yield.
BJ and Tyler, MoJo and Eric and Jeremy's 3 way footrace to the F4 NEL point. Hippies were last.
Okay.. that was alot for 9 seasons... let me go see if I can find some of the moments I mentioned!
-
Oh I forgot about Gretchen falling in the cave, hurting her face, and still continuing on the Race <33333333 TAR 7 was an epic season with one of the best winners ever <33333
All of Flo's breakdowns were pretty epic :lol:
-
TAR 9 3-way footrace!
http://www.youtube.com/v/LeI_VFmg7mc?version=3&hl=en_US
-
I made these videos when it was around Season 14. Those were what I feel as the few "epic moments" on TAR.
http://www.youtube.com/v/zUanMr0qKT8?version=3&hl=en_US
A few of those "Dumb" Epic Moments.
http://www.youtube.com/v/4kYDks7sFag?version=3&hl=en_US
Funny moments.. :lol:
Wished I had the time to do more of these! To include moments after TAR 14. :neener:
-
This photo is simply EPIC :yess: :hoot:
-
You guys have mentioned some truly amazing ones. Here are some of mine, some of which have already been mentioned:
TAR3 - Flo & Zach would be classified as epic, in my books, from the second Swiss leg onwards! :lol3:
TAR 6 - The Mount Hua padlock Roadblock - most ridiculously awesome challenge of all time!
TAR7 - Joyce shaving her head, enough said...
TAR9 - 3-way footrace was quite epic! The whole Thailand leg of TAR9 was also epic, with the grasshoppers Fast Forward and the monkeys and the MoJo Meltdown!
TAR11 - Charla & Mirna winning their legs! I love them to death! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
TAR12 - Nathan & Jennifer's obsession with winning a leg, which, ironically, was never fulfilled! :lol3: :lol3: The footrace with Azaria & Hendekea was great. The meltdown in beautiful Dubrovnik was spectacular! The taxi driver not taking them because they are wet! And also losing in Japan to Ron & Chris! Also from TAR12, the whole Italy leg was pretty epic! And the TAR12 memory task was the hardest one they have ever had! :yess:
TAR13 - The mayhem with the paint Roadblock in India! Also, the Fighting Cholitas Roadblock was epic! And Toni & Dallas losing their passports... :'(
TAR14 - Christie & Jodi vs. Preston & Jennifer footrace was quite decent! Mel blitzing past everyone in India at the Roadblock was beyond epic!!! :yess:
TAR15 - Mika + water slide. Or - Maria + high striker!!! (:;)
TAR16 - I'd also definitely classify the Champagne Towers Detour in Epernay and the Ox Trot Detour on The Seychelles as extremely epic moments from an otherwise bland TAR16.
TAR17 - Nat & Kat - first ever all-female winners! Claire goes viral on the Internet for smashing a watermelon in her face! (I think that was the only time that people at my school were taking about TAR!) I also thought the first Russia leg was epic!
TAR18 - Kisha & Jen winning! I loved them so much on TAR14, and this was the perfect end to Unfinished Business for me! :hearts:
TAR19 - this season has been a little underwhelming for me, but Legs 6-8 were all very good! :tup:
-
http://www.youtube.com/v/UHqgsxlHjZ8?version=3&hl=en_US
Somebody did a video of all the U-TURNs and Yields compiled. :jam:
Relieved back some good ol' memories!!
-
http://www.youtube.com/v/pvJdJmDxGZ0?version=3&hl=en_US
My Ox is Broken!!!!!!!!!!! Only to be shut up by Christie with "It's right here" :res:
-
My Ox Is Broken is just pure gold!!! :lol3:
My favourite Yield of all time would go to Lake & Michelle for Yielding Danielle & Dani. My second least favourite team got kicked off (with my least favourite being Eric & Jeremy) and my favourite team (Ray & Yoland) from the season got to survive! :yess:
-
I'm surprised that a couple of other epic moments from TAR 1 (whose 10th anniversary we have been celebrating all season):
* Kevin and Drew running across the footbridge at Victoria Falls. (So epic CBS used the image to promote the original Race for months prior to the broadcast.
* And still one of my all-time favorites. Rob-Brennan and Frank-Margaritta during the last 10 minutes of the season one finale as they race from Newark to Queens to the Flushing Meadows finish line. (Not to mention the Guido edit!)
-
This epic moment was accompanied by EPIC music. :lol:
*The taxi race between Nicolas & Donald and Azaria & Hendekea up to the Stone Cross overlooking Dubrovnik Croatia. The perfect location for the Pit Stop, too. :lol3:
-
I definitely loved, in TAR 4, the great recovery from Kelly & Jon, including the foot race between Millie & Chuck. That was: They departed in last, they went to the first Route Info Marker, and when they saw the FAST FORWARD, they didn't even read the Route Info Clue. They drove a long while (over 90 minutes, I think) and went to see the Fast Forward had been claimed... Back to the other place to complete the rest of the tasks being in last+2 hours deficit? Detour, Roadblock in a cave, and finding Chuck already in there. Then, footrace to the Pitstop, with Kelly & Jon knowing where it was (next to the FF site) and Millie & Chuck out. It's been one of my favourite episodes ever.
-
Some of my favorite epic moments include "My Ox is broken!" from TAR 5 (which I loved as well) and the donkeys from TAR 12, particularly when Nate & Jen's donkey is slowing down and Nate is getting mad, whereupon Jen tells him, "You can't yell like that!" Then the donkey hee-haws, and it sounds so much like laughter that I burst out laughing! :lol3:
Another epic moment from TAR 12 is when Nate & Jen were finally eliminated! I was hoping and praying that Nate & Jen wouldn't make the finals when someone here was saying they would (and would win, even worse). So as I saw TK & Rachel and Nicholas & Donald pass Nate & Jen, I was thinking, "Could it be? Could it be?" And then -- it happened! TK & Rachel and Nicholas & Donald made it to the finals and I could celebrate!
As for TAR 17 (my favorite season), the epic moments include Claire continuing on despite getting hit with a watermelon in the face, Nat & Kat's doing the Fast-Forward despite Kat's being a vegetarian, Nat's dealing with her fear of heights in the final leg and Nat & Kat's being the first all-female team to win the original TAR series! I was screaming and jumping up and down when they won! :yess:

I love villainy teams, so I enjoyed the battle between Carol and Brandy and Brent and Caite all season long. Caite got her redemption in the end to show haters what she can do (though Carol and Brandy has to go ugh why :'( they should both be in final 3 for a final fight)
-
The cast of TAR10 itself was epic! :hrt:

OMG. THIS THIS THIS.
-
Not really an epic moment, but this one was just hilarious:
Jordan (of Jordan & Jeff) was attempting to eat the French baguette on Leg 5 and talk at the same time, and then the subtitles at the bottom of the screen say, "? ? ? ? ? ?" :cmaslol
-
TAR 1: Nancy/Emily vs. Joe/Bill, of course! The final 10 minutes were also pretty epic.
TAR 2: Follow that plane! The footrace at the end was pretty intense, too.
TAR 3: Flo's meltdown
TAR 4: Kelly/Jon coming from behind
TAR 5: Colin going with the police in Tanzania, "my ox is broken" and Colin on the ascender (sad about that one)
TAR 6: Freddy puking in his soup, the lock challenge, the hay bales
TAR 7: Brian/Greg avoiding elimination after their car crash, the meat challenge in Argentina
TAR 8: Haven't seen it
TAR 9: 3 way foot race
TAR 10: Bilal/Saeed elimination, Cho boys giving the FF to David/Mary, Dustin/Kandice driving past the olive plantation, Lyn/Karlyn finding the flight to Orly
TAR 11: Rob/Amber vs. Charla/Mirna, the long delays/flight trouble in Tanzania, Dustin/Kandice buying the Yield, and Charla/Mirna finding the better flight to Hawaii
TAR 12: Animals--the donkeys in leg 1/the camels in Burkina Faso! I'd also add the memory challenge
TAR 13: The paint roadblock in India, Dan/Andrew "marching"
TAR 14: The cheese task in leg 1, some of the best scenery
TAR 15: Globetrotters giving up, Mika on the water slide
TAR 16: Nothing comes to mind--if I had to pick, I'd say the coconut carts in the Seychelles or Dan/Jordan's move to first class
TAR 17: Again, not much comes to mind, but I guess I'd pick Nat/Kat eating the sheep's head or maybe the restaurant at the end (the sushi)
TAR 18: I loved the final tasks in the Keys and the scenery (particularly China). The tea task was great!
TAR 19: Not much comes to mind here, either.
You'll notice a pattern here: I loved the early seasons, and more recently they're fine, but not epic. Part of it is the challenges, and part of it is the play of the game. In years past, the challenges have had a significant outcome on the game--you had no way of knowing in which order teams would leave a task, while recently it seems like there's less constant shifting of placement throughout the tasks. They are shorter, with fewer overnight waits, etc. They're just something teams do.
Play of the game is the most significant decline IMO. Teams no longer have as much time to interact. They are isolated at pit stops, there are fewer overnight waits (the "choose a departure time" stuff has gotten less frequent--it used to be standard on the first leg, which gave teams a chance to get to know one another), and in general there is less drama among teams. There are also fewer opportunities for strategy. While I don't think a FF is necessary on every leg or anything like that, there should be more chances to make decisions regarding the game (FF, Yield/U Turn/Intersection) and regarding travel (anyone make any bold moves regarding travel lately?) While I understand that the airport is not the most exciting part of Egypt, for example, it is where Christy and Colin blocked the door from Charla and Mirna and where the latter then found better flights. When C/C booked everyone else on that flight, C/M were able to find a better connection (that was, unfortunately, delayed, though). C/M also made big flight moves in Joburg and Hawaii in TARAS. Those things could have (and sometimes did) have significant impact on the game play. Nowadays it's "all teams are flying . . . " Detour and travel choices are also less critical. Nate/Jen taking the subway vs. a cab led to their elimination, while Brian/Greg's detour choice spared them. The choices are more bland now--which is a personal preference vs. which is faster?
It no longer feels like "the world is waiting for you." The interactions with locals on all levels (cabs, etc) was far more dramatic in early seasons, choice was more of a factor, and I felt like I got to know teams better (two hour premiers and team interplay help with that). It's still wonderful, but it's less epic.

I've probably watched that Iceland episode like 7-8 times, and I've never noticed that Shoppping Lady before! :cmaslol Ever since seeing this, I definitely plan on re-watching that episode very soon, as it seems like one of the most hilarious things of all time! :cmaslol
-
I know that Charla & Mirna have been mentioned here on this thread many times, but a truly epic moment was Charla carrying that massive piece of meat in Uruguay on Season 5, Leg 1! :cmaslol

Lady Shopping in a Field is a TAR institution!! So random!

Rontina's new intro last season is probably one the most epic yet. :hearts:

Yeah, that's a good one!
One of the intros which I always remember is Teri & Ian's from TAR3, when they rotate their heads. My family and I always found that to be quite funny! :cmas22
-
the Ian/Teri head-turn is very comic and many of the other nominations in this thread are interesting. But I ask if they are they truly epic? Few are in my opinion.

I suppose it all comes down to a subjective definition of the term 'epic'. Personally, funny moments are quite epic for me, but might not be for others.
But if we are talking about a truly 'epic' moment, it is impossible to look past the watermelon slingshot! :cmaslol

Jet and Cord getting Double U-TURN is not epic? It didn't change any placings and wouldn't have mattered. It was a waste of air-time. :cmaslol

I gotta agree with this! :cmas9 That U-Turn did not affect Jet & Cord's placement in any way whatsoever. It only negated the very minuscule possibility of them overtaking somebody. :cmas16

Hey, they needed to blame their elimination on SOMEONE... :cmaslol
-
The U-Turn, IMO, didn't eliminate them. It was a combination of the teams working against them at the RB and their own lack of social skills.
But I still found it sad. :(

Actually I don't think it's a lack of social skills. More like Jet and Cord didn't see the other teams AND also they are a strong team to beat. It's more of like an Andy and Tommy elim!

For me, one of the most epic pitstops ever was the one in New Zealand (I think) after the zorb thing. Highest placing for the Bowling Moms. They were simply awesome. I defintely loved loved loved them in that pitstop.

I was SO happy when I Chip and Kim didn't yield the twins in this leg. I thought that they might be able to recover!
But they couldn't. They made a bad Detour choice, which sealed their elimination. :(

They always make bad choices. That season was the first time doing a skydiving task will put you in last place. It was pretty ridiculous considering they could have been second if they didn't stupidly follow Brandon and Nicole when they went to the wrong place when they didn't actually want to initially. Actually, it was quite FRUSTRATING to be a twins fan to see them make SO MANY MISTAKES on every leg but when they do survive each week.. I whopped with joy because it's like a miracle happened! :cmaslol

I don't know if it's already cross-posted or not...
There's an epic moment (I think) in the latest season (19) Leg-2, where 8 of the 11 teams arrived at the Pit Stop without donating all of their money at the 'Aisyiyah Orphanage , and had to go back and donate the rest of their money before being allowed to check in.
That is the biggest downturn in TAR (maybe? :cmas11)
Leg-2 finish position:
1st Time Check-In
1st: Ernie & Cindy; ---> Move to 4th
2nd: Liz & Marie; ---> Move to 5th
3rd: Bill & Cathi; ---> Move to 7th
4th: Andy & Tommy; didn't turned back ---> Move to 1st
5th: Jeremy & Sandy; ---> Move to 6th
6th: Justin & Jennifer; ---> Move to 8th
7th: Amani & Marcus; ---> Move to 9th
8th: Laurence & Zac; didn't turned back ---> Move to 2nd
9th: Ethan & Jenna; ---> Move to 10th ELIMINATED
10th: Kaylani & Lisa; didn't turned back ---> Move to 3rd
11th: Ron & Bill ---> Move to 11th ELIMINATED

A leg which I consider to be epic is the Thailand leg of TAR9. The Roadblock with preparing a feast for the monkeys, the cricket-eating FF and the MoJo Detour meltdown!
That was one of my favourite legs of all! :cmas16

I think someone might have mentioned this earlier, but what about Charla vomiting herself while eating the Polish Kielbasa sausage! :cmaslol :cmaslol :cmaslol
And then in the same leg, the horse knocking her over! :cmaslol :cmaslol :cmaslol
I don't think Charla had too much fun on that leg... :cmas22

I also loved how Kandice combed her hair back while she was vomitting and she had the most disgusted look on her face.

Dustin & Kandice vs Charla & Mirna till the end was just soo epic <3

That big argument at one of the airports between them was just soooooo difficult to watch, because I loved them both so much! :cmas9

Don't I wish this were true! However, the facts are that from Oakland International Airport Eric/Danielle's taxi driver left both Dustin/Kandice and Charla/Mirna in the dust on the way to the Grateful Dead House. What you can truthfully say is that their epicness lasted for most of the AR11 finale.

I personally feel that most of the finales before TAR12 (with the exception of Seasons 3, 5, 9 and 10) were not very well done, especially because we had tasks in one place and then we flew to the 'Final Destination City', where there were no tasks for most of the time, so whoever got the first taxi had a good shot at winning. :cmas5
I prefer flying to the end-city from the beginning of the leg, not that all the final legs since TAR12 have been good, though. (16 and 19 being the best examples of that).

TAR 2, TAR 3, TAR 6, TAR 8 and TAR 9 was a race all the way to the end and not affected by taxis, particularly Season 9, 8, 7, 6, 5.. practically almost every season. :cmaslol

Yeah, but Seasons 1, 2, 4, 7 and 10 didn't have any tasks in the End City, which is the thing I didn't like. Seasons 3, 8 and 9 had the memory tasks, Season 5 had the maze and Season 6 had the pizza. So half of the first 10 seasons didn't have tasks in the End City (unless you count riding bikes to the Finish Line (TAR4) or finding 'The King of the Havanas' (TAR7)). :cmas5
But either way, nine of the pre-All-Stars seasons (all except Family Edition) had a maximum of 1 task at the End City. :cmas10

I think it'd be better if they didn't just force everyone onto one flight. I guess it's to make them closer, but the early seasons had teams choose their own flights and they were usually closer finishes. And as we all know, close finishes = epic moments.
-
The most epic moment for me was when Nat & Kat on the FF in Norway had to eat the sheep's head. They didn't like it, but I love that food and would gladly have taken their place.
The most touching moment was in season 6 when the teams put down roses at the Slave House to honor the slaves.

Season 2 did have a few epic sprints across San Francisco, if nothing else. Season 4 also had the riddle at Sun Devil Stadium... Nothing brain-busting, but better than nothing, I guess... :duno:

Yeah, that's very true.
The finales that I mentioned are (mostly) still quite exciting finales, however it's just my personal preference that teams fly to the End City straightaway, because I feel that otherwise, the tasks in the other city are mostly redundant. :cmas5 Just my thought! :cmas16

True. Jet and Cord been uturn didn't change anything...

This scene is the most epic for me

Personally, I think that a lot of things in TAR18 are epic:
- the TBC legs
- the kangaroo race to the pit-stop
- Jaime & Cara's accident
- Jaime & Cara being able to pass Mel & Mike because of hypothermia
- Kent & Vyxsin missing their flight
- Jade Dragon Mountain and the zodiac roadblock
- double u-turn and dinosaur roadblock leading to Jaime & Cara's elimintation
- tea roadblock leading to Margie & Luke's elimination
- the whole Varanasi leg was quite epic
- Jet & Cord taking a late flight twice
- bike roadblock leading to Jet & Cord elimination
- the Matterhorn Detour
- the colourful Rio leg
Also, Gary & Mallory being able to win three legs, and to have the highest average of the season (which is the lowest highest average in a season in TAR US, which adds to the epicness 'cause each and every team (except the winners, who did not win any legs - except the last of course) were on the edge of elimination)
-
I agree with you that TAR18 had loads of epic moments, Flamant! I loved the whole season! :hearts: The only part of the season which I personally did not enjoy was actually the Varanasi leg, but I absolutely loved all of the other 11 legs, and especially all of the things you mentioned on your list! :tup:
