Remove this ad Well, the first time was in pretty late 2003 I guess. My bro & I were channel-surfing and we stopped at AXN where we saw several teams of two in a frenzy to prepare, cook and then eat these large ostrich eggs and oh my god, I fell in love with the show. Yup... If you are a TAR fan, you'd know that my very first episode would be the leg in Tanzania in TAR5; where Charla/Mirna got eliminated. Since then, I've been hooked on TAR and have watched the show religiously; eventually catching up on the first 4 seasons via torrents as well...

Well I was in my step-dad's room using his computer since I had a few files then he was watching something on TV. I looked and saw this midget eating a very long sausage (No really the one in Warsaw). I stopped and watched a bit and then I ended up laughing my eyes out with that.Then I learned more about the game like this thing called a "roadblock". I didn't know that you had to answer a question first so I thought that the midget (Charla) was doing it for entertainment. I laughed and then I saw these 2 people find out that they were elimmed and I said "They are probably gay". I watched the next episode then I quickly fell in love with Goddesses Mirna and Charla <333. After that I downloaded season 10 and instantly fell in love with Lyn/Karlyn, David/Mary, Vipul/Arti, Kellie/Jamie and a few more. I watched the complete season 10 in 1 day and I loved it despite Bama not winning . The first time I watched a TAVR was W/C 2. I saw Kelly/Heather and Max/May. I am familiar with them so I watched them and I thought that this was an awesome thing to do and found more interesting characters like Jeff/Zoila, Stella/Starr and Caleb/Owen. After that I looked around sucks for more TAVRs and got hooked with reading it and found some hilarious characters like Claire/Damien, Melanie/Cynthia, Kurt/Dmitry, Brooke/Ashanti, Wan/Chung, Josef/Robi and many more. I soon joined the next one which was Thinga's and then ATTAR 5 :P. I am such an addict >_>.

My older brother introduced me to the reality show like Survivor. I was first saw a week after my family reunion from my mother's family side. After season one ended, I became a fan and I'm a regular viewer since season two aired less than six weeks after the season one finale. I was in second year high school at that time. My very first episode that I saw in Thailand leg in season 1, when Guidos and Nancy/Emily did took the Fast Forward, Guidos won the FF and Nancy/Emily not managed to took the detour correctly. They chose to took the taxi to the next destination was the roadblock.

Watching the only team with a vadge among them pwn was great, and watching the clows narrowly avoid nonelimination also great. I managed to catch the last episodes of the season and then watched all of TAR5. I would eventually skip TAR6/7/9 because of the crapiness of the season (6) or the season that preceded it (7, 9), eventually rewatching all.

Remove this ad I was flipping through channels when I saw Romber running around London. I figured it wasn't Survivor when they were competing against a team named Meredith & Gretchen and soon I was rooting for the old couple because they had apparently made it to the final 4 even though they were old. They got eliminated in that episode, but I eventually kept watching. I don't think I watched a season in full until TAR All-Stars because they started showing it on Sundays. I have rewatched TAR 5,6,10-13. I am worried about watching the earlier seasons of TAR because the editing was not as tight and ADD-induced (I watched TAR2's premiere and was bored). However, I'll give it a shot considering I dragged myself through TAR6 (which actually was not as bad as posters claim).

The alliance/showmance between Tara/Alex (while Wil and Chris to a lesser extent sulked in the background) is probably the longest-running theme of any TAR (except maybe the Twin Hunt, in the even better TAR3 which you also need to watch, like, now).

I had no idea what was going on and turned it off after about 2 minutes. After that I saw maybe 5 combined minutes of the rest of the season. When season 4 started, I saw parts of the first episode and was sort of amused. But then I didn't watch again until the India episode where Tian was doing the bull dragging roadblock thing. That's when I became hooked and eventually caught up on the first 3 seasons.

I was flipping back and forth between TAR and Lost (both premiered at the same time) but decided to stick with TAR because it was more fast-paced and exciting while Lost was so slow and boring.

One of the worst visuals ever was when the midget had a bathing suit and all her cellulite was showing. Boy was that nasty.

They air it here in AXN. I remember I caught part of the episode where Gus/Hera got eliminated, but never found the show again. Then, I saw the TAR9 finale, and hated hated hated the Hippies, and hated even more that they won. Then, I watched the Kuwait episode, which was the first complete episode I saw, and finally understood the whole concept of roadblock, detour, and fast forward, I was immediately hooked. I remember I was all like "Boy, I wanna do that Kuwait towers thing". Then I saw all the way through Spain, but don't remember why I didn't catch the finale. That tomato thing with the Kimberly breakdown was EPIC. Finally, I watched the TAR13 premiere and decided I had to catch up and found all the seasons in youtube, so while I was watching TAR13 every week, I began to catch up with the rest and saw the seasons in this order: 12, 9, 10, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 6, 4. Now I'm obsessed with the show.

From there, it went in the order of 2, 6, 7, 1 (cable marathon), 3, 4, 5, 9 (8 was skipped over), 10 (first online season), 8, 11, 12, 13
