Already hopping in before the inevitable smart-ass response from other people in this forum who have done nothing but complain and complain and complain about 10 TARAUS to say that that's not happening because this season flopped and is apparently the worst thing ever to happen to TAR as a worldwide franchise, etc. etc. etc.
The main problem was making it too much about Beau and his repetitive, sometimes borderline culturally offensive dad jokes, it showed when the 4 legs with Scott actually felt like an improvement. What also brought down the ratings was running against some of Australia's most unbeatable shows in the timeslot.
I've enjoyed Beau's unseriousness and laid-backness this season.
Scott was incredibly dry. I do agree that production should have not forced the hotel room footage during the scenes where he was out of commission, but Scott's hosting was seriously nothing to write home about either (miss you Grant Bowler). Maybe if they let him do the entirety of the Turkey and Colombia legs I would have seen him get past the growing pains.
If anything, I feel like a big chunk of what went wrong with this season COVID-wise was production refusing to take a break from their hectic filming schedule. During spoilers we had a mini pause during the Greece 3 outbreak, and yet production didn't pause to wait for Scott in Izmir. We had 5 teams in isolation after Turkey which honestly feels connected to this. We literally saw all teams in Belize 3 a mere 5 days after the Colombia leg was filmed - waiting a week to resume could have honestly avoided us the mess of the second iso.
disappointed that it looks like the show is done in Australia again
They did six continents. Only the final three legs are in Australia.
