lol, I just do not like alliances in general. It makes me sick and take the fun out of watching.
Especially when they are EXPLICITLY done.
And to be honest, there are only a few teams who won because their alliance brought them there:
- Not Rob and Brennan because they were the stronger team anyway
- Chris and Alex
No???
- Flo and Zach, maybe so
- Reichen and Chip,
No???
- Chip and Kim, their alliance... wasn't so clear?
- Freddy and Kendra didn't need the help of an alliance to propel them further
- Uchenna and Joyce, maybe their alliance with Meredith and Gretchen effectively eliminated them, but they were the more important ones in the alliance and didn't really need one
- Linz Family, against Weavers with Godlewski and Bransens... but they were strong on their own anyway
- Tyler and James against BQ's... effectively eliminated them but they would have made the F3 on their own
- Eric and Danielle, no alliance and won
- TK and Rachel, no alliance?
- Nick and Starr, no alliance?
- Tammy and Victor, no clear alliance? Unless it was against Kisha and Jen? No?
- Meghan and Cheyne, no clear alliance?
- Dan and Jordan, no clear alliance?
- Nat and Kat, no clear alliance?
- Kisha and Jen, no clear alliance?
- Ernie and Cindy, no clear alliance?
- Rachel and Dave, clearly didn't need an alliance to win
- Josh and Brent, wasn't even in an alliance with Abbie and Ryan
- Bates and Anthony, maybe the alliance didn't make them a target, which gave them the win? Would have made the F3 based on their own efforts
- Jason and Amy, with Nicole and Travis? Effectively eliminating Leo and Jamal, no? Would have made the F3 on their own
- Dave and Connor, had an alliance against Brendon and Rachel.. but would have made the F3 on their own merits?
- Amy and Maya, made the F3 because of a twist, and made it further because the target was on Kym and Allie but not them.
amy and maya had a 4 team alliance during season 25.
I don't really think the teams in that season were in an "alliance"? They just did not like Kym and Allie as they were running their own race. The only scene I could remember about strategy was on the boat where they were discussing possibilities to U-TURN them because they were a strong team
- Tyler and Laura's alliance was with....?
I named 26 seasons and I believe, not MANY winning teams needed an alliance to win?
I think alliances in general are fun to watch, I just didn't like it when it's EXPLICITLY made and whenever that happens, the editors make a big deal out of it and usually
MY viewing pleasure as an audience decreases because I normally focus on the location for TAR, and less on the drama. And that may be why I did not enjoy TAR 22 because Mona and Beth and Youtube were targeted for unknown reasons (working with Jessica and John??) even though I was supporting Country Singers, Maxie and Bates and Anthony...
