Family teams also b-o-r-i-n-g. Last season there was no one to like except maybe Kynt & Vyxsin. This season I heart Terence & Sarah b/c they remind me of Colin & Christy, one of the faves of all time. And for the record, BQs way better than mactor druggies.

When you're watching moments like that, or the TAR2 Australian slang Roadblock, or the race to finish line in TAR2, or Marshall/Lance yelling "Bitch!" while driving past Mirna, or Kevin/Drew leading a camel, or the Chas' shopping spree, or Flo inadvertently eliminating the WonderTwins...that's when the show truly lives up to the hype. TAR2 Australian slang roadblock = best roadblock ever. Made even more perfect by the stupidity of Blake and Wil, and the awsomeness of Oswald.

Point the first - I'd hate it if Kelly/Jon and Millie/Chuck were in the finale. Or Monica/Sheree and Jon/Al. TAR 4 has probably one of the shittiest elimination orders ever. Point the second - ZOMG didn't TAR 1 have an alpha team win? Against a bickering couple? With a third M/M team not even in the picture. Point the third - I liked the winners of TARA 2, and circumstantial evidence shows that they just might be gay (equally fun fact - shitty season overall, so you can save your accusations of homophobia for people who aren't enamored with guys who were shown to be assholes multiple times). Point the fourth - There's nothing wrong with TAR13. The penis-starved frau hates it because the cast consists of zero personality-free himbos.

Between the gate drama and Frank/Marg just planning on flying anywhere in Europe and attempting to use trains (?) and Lennnnnnnnnnny/Karyn randomly getting the only direct flight, that was a brilliant first half of an episode.

I actually enjoyed both seasons equally, although it was kind of a bummer that Freddy & Kendra won. Since then I've seen every other season, and 4 and 7 were the only ones I didn't like.

I saw that they visited Thailand, so I got really pumped (I didn't know that they actually came to Thailand in the first season also.) I've been everywhere, trying so hard to find people who would talk the same language as I did since no one I know that time watched TAR. My journey to Sucks: TAR official chatroom, then TWoP, then Sucks. :D

Can someone explain? Does it get better when there are less teams? Were the earlier seasons better? Were my expectation built too high? WHAT'S GOING ON. The same question I have for Survivor: Cook Island (my first season) and Survivor: Gabon (though I love Ken). I didn't bother downloading the other seasons. As for TAR, my first season was TAR12, more specifically, the awesome Croatian leg. I did some (re)watching of older seasons like 1,2,3,5,7,10 and 11. And the only seasons I didn't like are 2 and 7.

And TAR9. (One could add TAR12 for the shitty winners, but whatever). Anyone who hasn't watched TAR needs to find TAR1/3/5 and go to town.

Mad, I would say that the show hasn't shown any particular improvement or deprovement over its run; the success of a season is entirely random but most of the time the locales and the tasks are right on target. The teams and their interactions with each other is the other big draw and this fluctuates more depending on the cast, but there's usually enough drama to go around even with boring teams sticking till the end. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 12 are absolutely epic and deserve rewatching; I have a soft spot for 9 and 11 (All-Stars) as well, 11 more for the cast obviously. :p 8 (Family Edition) I have always felt had a pretty decent cast but some epically horrid tasks (Leg 4 with its 'sleep in the trailer park' and 'find the giant chair' comes to mind).

So, you are into big fat trashy with ugly personality, someone like to stay in a hellhole all her life and thinking Kansas is the center of the universe. Oh, and I don't think about having sex with everything that breathes (did you learn that from your mom?). I only think about sex with hot guys....I bet you think of sex with girls like Bama, lol. I watch the show to be entertained too. RACING is entertianing...not just fighting, bitching and arguing. Girl, you are watching the wrong show! You should check out TV Guide and look for some trashy shows that suit your personality and taste. Do consider Jerry Springers or Paris looking for her cunts.

You should check out TV Guide and look for some trashy shows that suit your personality and taste. Do consider Jerry Springers or Paris looking for her cunts. People don't need to be ugly or trashy to have vivid personalities, though I'll take many of the trainwrecks too. I have teams I genuinely love (i.e. Ron & Chris), and teams I support solely for entertainment purposes (i.e. Kelly & Christy). People probably do take offense though that you ONLY like hot guys because the point of TV for most people is entertainment. And the beauty of TAR is that it can deliver it on many levels, from Kunty & Chriskunt's rivalry with Dick and Strramp to the evolution of Ron & Chris's relationship. Is sexual fantasism (and aren't we all guilty of it) a part of why we might watch something? Perhaps. Is it the entire, or even a significant, reason why people would watch something on mainstream TV? Not for most. I only think about sex with hot guys....I bet you think of sex with girls like Bama, lol. Yes because we only root for people we want to have sex with. How odd. And I didn't even say that I liked Bama so clearly you're just talking with your dick out. The straight guy equivalent of your type would probably be all over the BQs in a heartbeat, but that certainly isn't the only reason their fans liked them. I watch the show to be entertained too. RACING is entertianing...not just fighting, bitching and arguing. Girl, you are watching the wrong show! You should check out TV Guide and look for some trashy shows that suit your personality and taste. Do consider Jerry Springers or Paris looking for her cunts. Good racing is acknowledgeable, but what about the human connect? Teams that express genuine emotion, and the underdogs that didn't think they would make it, be able to succeed. If there wasn't the storytelling element that was coupled with the running of each leg, the show wouldn't be a hit in the first place. In fact, it might just have been cancelled like in TAR4. And I haven't watched a single episode of Jerry Springer's or more than 1 episode of Paris's shows. Conversely, why aren't you off to watch LOGO or something? It's clearly, dare I say, up your alley.

They call it reality show because there are different type of people out there. And different viewers have different taste. People like you like to watch people bitching and fighting all the time (not sure how genuine emotions they were for some of them). Others like me like to watch good races. As for storytelling, it's up to one's interpretation. Tyler/James had their overcome druggie storyline, I thought it was genuine and a nice touch. Great to see 2 people(regardless who they are) getting their life back together. Chip/Reinchen overcome about homophobic in life was a nice story as well. To me, they were far more superior than some other "non alpha" winners such as TK/Rachel, Chip/Kim, the couple that wanna adopt a baby, KKKandra etc. And what exactly genuine emotions or great stories do we get from 2 chicks like BQs, or the usual dumb blondes wearing pinks?? And in true nature, 2 guys will never fight or scream or cry or bitch like 2 girls...so does that mean TAR should exclude them cause they don't make good TV? No, two good guys winning the race is good TV as well. But people only see 2-males as "alpha", therefore, "hate". Hey, if it's a reality show, why exclude them? Hypocrite much? I don't live in US, I can't get LOGO, or else, you bet I will and J/O everyday and nite! Last Edited By: VentDeMilo 10/25/08 10:21 PM. Edited 1 times.

They call it reality show because there are different type of people out there. And different viewers have different taste. People like you like to watch people bitching and fighting all the time (not sure how genuine emotions they were for some of them). Take a look at my favourites list, asshat. The Amazing Race 1: Frank & Margarita, Kevin & Drew, Rob & Brennan, Dave & Margaretta 2: Oswald & Danny, Blake & Paige 3: John Vito & Jill, Ken & Gerard, Derek & Drew 4: Millie & Chuck, Al & Jon, Monica & Sheree, Amanda & Chris 5. Chip & Kim, Charla & Mirna, Linda & Karen 6. Gus & Hera, Don & Mary Jean, Lena & Kristy, Lori & Bolo 7: Uchenna & Joyce, Brian & Greg, Meredith & Gretchen, Debbie & Bianca 8: Paolo Family, Godlewski Family, Gaghan Family, Aiello Family 9: Ray & Yolanda, Dave & Lori, Fran & Barry 10: David & Mary, Duke & Lauren, Dustin & Kandice 11: Oswald & Danny, Charla & Mirna, Dustin & Kandice, Teri & Ian, Uchenna & Joyce 12: Ronald & Christina, Kynt & Vyxsin, Azaria & Hendekea, TK & Rachel 13: Terence & Sarah, Toni & Dallas, Mark & Bill, Kelly & Christy Yes they're all zOMG! Bitchy! Except not. Some of them are. Not ALL of them are. On the other hand, you're just a complete dick worshipper. Tyler/James had their overcome druggie storyline, I thought it was genuine and a nice touch. Great to see 2 people(regardless who they are) getting their life back together. Chip/Reinchen overcome about homophobic in life was a nice story as well. I'll give you Tyler/James, but Reichen was just a fake, douchey famewhoring slut. Oh wait, you'd still fuck him anyays. To me, they were far more superior than some other "non alpha" winners such as TK/Rachel, Chip/Kim, the couple that wanna adopt a baby, KKKandra etc. Chip & Kim had the 'nice, grounded couple' arc (post-race antics aside) and won in a battle of a more complex good vs. bad showdown. Uchenna & Joyce were nice people who needed the money, unlike Romber. Boring and a bit self-righteous, yes, but more appealing winners. Let's really not talk about KKKendra, who is in any case generally despised. I'll agree though, TAR winners are generally not outstanding and your beloved alpha males at least have their race performances to speak for. And what exactly genuine emotions or great stories do we get from 2 chicks like BQs, or the usual dumb blondes wearing pinks?? And in true nature, 2 guys will never fight or scream or cry or bitch like 2 girls... The BQs had a very tight bond and were competitive for the sake of staying in the race. I did not like the Double Ds who were just dumb but Marisa/Brooke were at least ditzy and sweet people. Who the hell said they male teams had to fight or scream or cry or bitch? They just need to be more... intelligent. so does that mean TAR should exclude them cause they don't make good TV? No, two good guys winning the race is good TV as well. But people only see 2-males as "alpha", therefore, "hate". Hey, if it's a reality show, why exclude them? Hypocrite much? Actually, you might want to consider that most alpha male teams we've had on TAR were boring, unappreciative douches who weren't very bright. That's why they're boring. That's why they're hated (or rather, not cared for). Give us a witty pair who don't just spend their time making cheap jokes, putting down other teams and ogling at female racers, and they'd certainly be more popular. Well, since it's 'reality' TV, do you walk around the street seeing supermodels and hunks in every corner? We know that reality TV is a whole sphere on its own. Most of these people are either in the whole Z-list circle and would never have applied normally. They crave for exposure which is really just to more of the same ilk. There's a reason why most of them can't actually cross over to a more popular sphere: Charisma. Or lack of it. I can appreciate entertaining teams mactors or not, but statistically have alpha males been entertaining? Not by the average standard, which yours doen't seem to be. I don't live in US, I can't get LOGO, or else, you bet I will and J/O everyday and nite! Spare us of that image. Please. Alright, enough bellicose self-righteousness for now. I'm not even a bitchy person usually but... you're just... such an idiot. Die of AIDS, please! tia! [/'HOMOPHOBICUNT'] For all your talk of Sucks being narrow-minded who's the bigot here, really?
