Topic: What ruins a season for you?

3. Replacement location of legs during production (in case such as natural disaster, civil unrest, safety reasons and even terrorist attack)

HOW could THIS ruin a season?? I would be giving THANKS that our teams and crew were removed safely.

He/she could just be referring to how legs become poorly designed in the case of last minute planning?
TAR 19's Thailand legs were awful in my opinion and clear examples of this.

For me, it's the route. TAR24 had 4 double legs in a row for 2/3 of its season. TAR Aus 4 had a lot of double legs too, but it was their first season in a while so I can forgive them for that. Just can't recommend it to people.

Agree with dominant teams, even if they have nice characters on TV.

Dragging a race for too long and having too many NELs and it's all unnecessary? I appreciate having a TAR season to watch during a pandemic, but TAR Aus 5 felt dragging at some point onwards.

I am always surprised when teams seem to not know some current events, common culture, or basic geography.  Why do you think that is?

This actually. After watching Legs 1 and 2 of TAR33, I was cringing that a few racers did not know who Boris Johnson was, nor the fact that the UK had left the EU several weeks before the race started.

(Having said that, I was amused to have the taxi driver mentioning that Boris was blond... and fat!)

The thing that annoys me are boring/generic tasks and racers that rub me the wrong way. Now, I am a person who usually roots for the bickering M/F couple teams, so I don't mind them sniping at each other. However, some kinds of bickering rub me off the wrong way, like TAR11's Kevin and Drew's bickering. I am also against certain kinds of M/M teams (like Jet and Cord and the Globetrotters), who rub me the wrong way.

A big power gap difference between one team and the rest as shown in Leg 10 in Portugal.  The Portugal leg in TAR33 served as a rehearsal leg for the Final 3.  Coming into the finale, every team but Arun and Natalia had good enough skills and a convincing winner's edit.  Makes me wonder what would have happened if Arun and Natalia were replaced by Lulu and Lala or Anthony and Spencer.

I feel like the episodes are too rushed right now.
