I do think though that the first half was way superior to the second half.

True, episodes 4-6 were essentially rehashes of China Rush, the Vietnamese edition, and TARA, whereas the earlier ones showed off never-visited delights like Thessaloniki, Ankara, and all of Uzbekistan.

Just started watching the show and it's fun so far. It's definitely more Pekin Express than TAR, but with even less of a focus on competition. If anything, it feels more like NBC's Lost, yes?

The cast for the newest season have quite the TARCAN analogues (c.f. Race to the Centre of the Earth's Mindy = Ivana, Paul = Korey, and Dave = Ryan):

1.) Neil/Kristin
2.) Trish/Amy
3.) Aarthy/Thinesh
4.) Simi/Ope
5.) Jody/Cory

Season 3, It's been an interesting season so far.
I wonder if the team that has been leading the pack can keep the momentum. Would love if they could win it all.
Some editing choices are weird, like the same leading team completely vanishing from last 20 minutes from one of the episodes, only for us to find out they're dozens of hours ahead of the other teams.
Though, that is something that I miss from the old TAR, where leg planning wasn't as boxed in, and leading teams were able to start following leg, while some teams on the back of the pack were still finishing the previous leg.
Completely fine by how the axe fell to eliminate the first team.

This season is already better than that Latin American debacle and might even tie with the OG-Eurasian besides routing!

It's great so far, actually an improvement over what TAR Canada's been in a few seasons. That non-personal attachment to a country makes a difference 😅

If RatW3 were a TARCAN season, then it would easily be in the top half alongside 1/2/4/RttCotE.

I'm really enjoying this season, love how hitchhiking is a big means of transport. I do think the season will slow in quality as they head east into the easier to navigate part of Canada.

I reckon we're gonna have S4 in Australia, maybe Perth to Cairns, could be India, maybe Delhi to Kerala or even Sri Lanka.

Agreed, and maybe even tacking on New Zealand to round off the course.

If one were to give the seasons marks:

1 = A
3 = A-
2 = C+
