Watching BJ & Tyler and Eric & Jeremy being always ahead was extremely boring
The only exciting episode of that season for me is Oman, where the above two teams fell behind l

I recently rewatched and TARAus2 and I think that is one of the reasons why I think it is so good is because there is a lot of time spent on character development and the rivalry of everyone vs. Paul & Steve, and just the drama between all of the teams. And even if there was not drama within some teams, I feel like there was a lot of character development of the teams, like Lucy and Emilia, Sticky & Sam, Sue & Teresa, etc. There is not as much focus on the tasks, and while they are present, they are more about beating the other teams and being competitive and/or about enjoying the tasks and the race.

This and a trillion! TAR Australia 2 is the first international version of the race I watched and everything from that season is perfectly seamed together and all the teams were very memorable from the team-based editing, especially Lucy & Emilia, Sticky & Sam, and James & Sarah. I hope next season can follow this style. The U.S. version needs sprucing, cleaning and freshening to say the least.

If you're talking about TARAus 3 it doesn't

Alternatively, find TAR Canada 2 and watch the first 11 episodes

There is is a third Australian season...

He's saying TARAus 3 doesn't have the same feel as TARAus 2.

Actually he (first person) doesn't aware that TAR Aus 3 has already aired with different feel and style than TAR Aus 2.

Oh, whoops. I didn't think that phrase would cause a lot of confusion at first.

I meant I hoped TAR29 will follow the team emphasis on the race rather than centralizing on tasks.

[BourkieBoy]

My favorite tasks would have to be the challenge at the end, when they have to remember where they went.
My least favourite is the head-shaving FF, because it just gets repeated over and over again

3x + 1x (TARAUS) =/= over and over again

Well I BELIEVE that the head-shaving is overused

[Pi]

Well I BELIEVE that the head-shaving is overused

Head-shaving: done 3 times
Australia: visited 4 times

So is Australia overused?

Certainly not. China has been visited 13 times, that is overused NOT AUSTRALIA! China was also visited LAST season, while Australia was last visited 10 seasons ago! The FF head-shaving is boring, when you have much other Fast Forwards, u can use again. Hope that answers your question

[TARmap]

Well I BELIEVE that the Australia is overused

Still not as overused as LA

Haha, that's true

Not relevant - a very good source informed me that Dan and Andrew were slated to be on UB but backed out at the last minute. Thoughts on how they would do/who they would replace?

[georgiapeach]

Excuse me, I CAN ANSWER WHAT I WANT! I don't need YOU telling ME what to do!

Actually...as we have discussed...NO YOU CANNOT. Please read your PM's.

They would have most likely replaced Mel & Mike. What a significant amount of TAR14 teams that season.

TAR14 is a horrendous season but for some odd reasons, it is well-liked by production which is why it has almost half of the cast in S18. It was the reboot season for TAR and where the producers believe the history of the show started.

[gamerfan09]

Nah TAR14 teams got featured because of a little thing called Jodi Wincheski joining production as a Casting Director.

That certainly didn't hurt, but Bertram was defending vigorously when the returnees were announced for S18

[G.B.]

I dunno where else to post this.

Watching the penultimate episode of TAR17 tonight. When Brook & Claire go to the hotel to book flights, they talk to a receptionist who has her face blurred...except in one shot where it's not blurred and clearly visible.

Oops?

[fossil-racer]

Kind of missing TAR
I'm used to it airing twice a year.

My first season was 17 and I loved that season. It was the season that got me hooked.
Who could forget that watermelon moment?
I honestly thought that leg was for the finals when I first saw it so, when I played the first episode of TAR 17, I was surprised that happened.
Brooke and Claire was everything.

Season 20 (episode 9) was the first season I watched while it aired.
Then I binged Season 4-19.  Couldn't finish 1-3 until later and 8/10. I think I skipped some legs here and there.

Season 21 was the first season I watched from beginning to end while it aired.
Then, I had the most random thought while watching with others- look up spoilers/previews for TAR 22 

After 22, the show became my favorite. After 24, it dropped below Survivor.

TAR 23 was my first season following the race live (and I love spoilers now )
My friends followed along too since they were fans and didn't know the race had live sightings

That's my TAR memory lane. lol

[BourkieBoy]

My memory lane now:

I've watched S1-6 on UTube, throughout this year

I started to watch TAR season 17 on YouTube. Gotta love the watermelon moment (My Sciene teacher show it to us, earlier in the year  )

I've only seen the first 3 eps of TAR 18 (Australia, Australia and Japan. Really need to see more)

Only also seen the first eps of TAR19 

Seen Leg 3, 7, 9 and 11 of TAR20 (Paraguay, Tanzania, India and Japan)

Saw EP 1, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12, of TAR 21(China, Russia, Russia, Spain and USA)

TAR 22 IS MY FAVORUITE SEASON EVER! Seen every leg

I have watched Legs 1-5 (Chile, Chile, Portugal, Norway, Poland) and Legs 7 and 11 (UAE and Japan), of TAR 23

TAR 24 was weird. Seen every leg up to Leg 9 (Switzerland) and then Leg 11 and 12 (Wales and the USA). I actually liked this season, apart from the Sri Lankan legs (yuck)

I watched the first 3 episodes of TAR25 when it aired on Aussie TV, but then, for some reason, I lost interest in the show.

TAR26, I saw Leg 1 (Japan) and Leg 5 (Germany) on TV.

I haven't seen ANY episodes for TAR27, expect for the last 5 minutes, on NYE last year.

Haven't seen TAR28 

Pumped for for TAR29 and 30! 

(I have also seen TAR Canada 1 and parts of 2, TAR Asia 1 and all of the Australian versions)

That's it for me! Can't wait to see what others have to say! 

[BourkieBoy]

Sorry but you clearly have some bad taste.

SL 2 is widely acclaimed by most here as one of the best legs of TAR24

 

Yes I know! I actually liked TAR24...

[cbacbacba1]

I like TAR 24 only because of having Caroline & Jennifer in it
The leg structure was terrible
Everyone still remember country singers lost because of pulling a clue 4 seconds behind Dave
That is the most stupid siutation in TAR

[BourkieBoy]

Oh yes. Would go forget Caroline and Jennifer
