The fact that Gary and D'Angelo had to watch three teams collaborate in front of their eyes and be forced to take a penalty was silly. No team should ever have to default to a penalty because all the teams ahead of them were literally conspiring to get them out. I think they need to bring back booking your own flights, too. Those moments seem to create actual tension between teams. There were some interesting route choices and the teams were kind of interesting, but this will remain a low tier season for me.
I remember they had self-booking flights last season (Nicole & Victor's standby situation, finally a team causing airport drama!), but flights and attendants today are way better scheduled and informant than it was in the 2000s so that's why we haven't seen much of it.
Honestly, this season started off really really well. Trinidad & Tobago - great opener. Colombia though is where things began a rapid downhill spiral on the teams where sharing answers and help began to cheat other teams out of enjoying the race for its challenges and courage, rather it promoted just going straight to the Finish Line over the journey to get there. The twists were promising - the return of the Yield, the Mega Leg, and the city sprint that I judged during promos, but the results that came back were underwhelming and left a sour taste as the season went on. The New Orleans finale had probably the least entertaining finale I've seen yet where it didn't even feel like a final leg.
@@emmettmiller8524 I'm biased with that one since I live in the Bay Area, lol. But yeah, the season 16 finale was weak, but at least it was edited fast-paced and way more cohesively unlike the NOLA one we saw which bored me to tears. The memory task was just bad. Took like 10 minutes to hang tops.
In my opinion it started off good but every episode started to feel super predictable. The finale was also pretty lame and felt really anticlimactic. Liked Hung and Chee and Gary and D'angelo. The blondes were also cool and I would like to see them come back.
Honestly this season really isn’t that bad amazing race fans are so negative about this season. The first 7 episodes are pretty great. The route was one of the best in a long time. And the cast was pretty likeable. People only hate will and James and Maddison and Riley because they where in an alliance.
The German leg is where I was starting to get iffy about this season and NOLA completely blew it. That Roadblock pissed me off more than anything where Hung, the only person who actually did it correctly gave away the answer 🤦🏾♀️, and other racers had to work with other people for help. It was almost as if the task didn't even matter. I'd rewatch certain episodes like T&T, Brazil (that chaotic market task specifically), India, France, and Paraguay, but I would never rewatch this front to back.
The Mardis Gras episode portion with the collecting of 50 necklaces was soooooo exciting {apperant sarcasm} ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzz......
I don’t know I still hate this season. The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it. Whether people like it that’s fine but this is easily The worst season they’ve ever done at least in my opinion
The first half of this season was good. But the second half was a choice. I hate that the alliance kept sharing answers that was so annoying. Especially at the final 4 like that’s so unfair how Gary and Deangleo got booted and could do nothing about it. Bruh I don’t understand why people say oh deangelo was just being bitter and a sore loser. Like I totally get why he was upset there was nothing they could do when 3 teams gang up on them. And making them lose 1 million dollars. I bet a lot of you guys would be pissed to if that happened to you!
he wasn’t pissed about that, he was already well off and didn’t need the money. he said in his podcast that his main problem was that in between legs, they weren’t able to go around or do anything in the places they were staying and it took away from the experience
DeAngelo is so annoying, just a typical person who blames everything on others with excuses after excuses. He was clearly the MOST incompetent person in the final four teams, and would’ve been easily eliminated way earlier if it’s not with the helps from the alliance. Just why the fuck should other teams keep helping you guys when you guys took the cab 🚕 and the rickshaw 🛺 from teams that just helped you guys?? Typical all my problems are because of other people mentality.
@@adumba3709 My mom watched the season with me and that was what set her off. She went "This isn't Big Brother! Come on!" That was the moment I knew this was the new worst season ever.
I also enjoyed this season but for me I think it would rank somewhere in the middle. The biggest flaw for me was that I never felt like there was much of a race going on. I don't know, I guess I felt like there was never a real sense of urgency. It felt more like a Sunday stroll at times or, like you said, a fan-made race. I do suspect that the season might not hold up well on a rewatch in the future. I didn't mind the alliance so much but I did mind them outright giving the answers away. Riley/Maddison made a huge error in not splitting from the alliance. They never really got any info from the other teams but they cost themselves the race by first burning the U-Turn eliminating Eswar/Aparna and then by giving the answer to the music challenge away to Hung/Chee and Will/James.
hell yeah like why would you burn the f’ing U-turn? SO BORING make it interesting I would’ve just U-turned the football players anyway who cares if they are behind you it makes things interesting, imo the alliance ruined this season and I hope to never see any of these teams again…
@@ronniebessling6802 Yup! I thoroughly enjoyed the route that season and many teams (except BB19 and Alex & Conor at the end). I just wish they got rid of those stupid Head to Heads right before the Pit Stop or at least put them as the first thing teams do when they arrive in a new country. Literally the only thing keeping it down to a High Tier and not a Top Tier season.
Out of the 32 Amazing Races this one ranks at #32. Not sure of how they decided to pick teams this year but there were not too many strong ones compared to prior years. The final 3 provided us with the weakest of half of the teams there. The competitions were bland as well. No real enduance competitions. Usually I choose a favorite who I cheer for a few episodes in, did not happen this time. Even the final 3 I had know favorite. Lost interest really.
I find it interesting how reading through the comments I see most people are not a big fan, this was my first season ever watching, as a first timer I loved it! It had absolutely everything i expected and more, I can assumed earlier season will always be better and shows change and people lose the same interest as before, but this season was really good from my newbie view. Can’t wait to watch others
Not my favorite season but not the worst IMO. I actually enjoyed a lot of character moments throughout but I can NOT rewatch this season's finale ever again. It was just so cringe watching that marriage proposal. I wasn't a fan of Will and James to begin with and, I don't know, I guess I just felt that it wasn't enough that they won the Race and the million dollars. That it wasn't enough attention on them so there had to be a marriage proposal on the Finish Line. The Chad/Stephanie and Lucas/Brittany proposals were far more impactful during those teams' seasons as they were randomly done throughout the race course, but really?? On the finish line where everyone is more excited to see who wins the Amazing Race title and the prize money? I don't know, maybe that's just me but I just really didn't.....it just kind of cheapened the ending for me. But again, that's just me.
Worst season I've watched. The alliance basically rigs the whole race to make sure their team that is not part of the alliance has to go. This isn't racing at all.
If I were to bring back my rankings of all the TAR season back in the Season Rankings video you did a year ago (for those wondering, I have a list under the comments ranking these seasons God, Top, High, Mid, Low, and Hazmat), I would put 32 under MID TIER solely because I'm thrilled of the locations, but most of the tasks did not meet my expectations. There are standout tasks, but the other ones didn't have their finest moments on screen. I liked a good handful of teams, but ended up only enjoying Hung & Chee (barely), Kaylynn & Haley, Michelle & Vic (I know I gave them sh!t), and Leo & Alana by the end of it. I wouldn't rewatch this season as a whole, but would select certain ones. Editing was better.
DeAngelo is so annoying, just a typical person who blames everything on others with excuses after excuses. He was clearly the MOST incompetent person in the final four teams, and would’ve been easily eliminated way earlier if it’s not with the helps from the alliance. Just why the fuck should other teams keep helping you guys when you guys took the cab 🚕 and the rickshaw 🛺 from teams that just helped you guys?? Typical all my problems are because of other people mentality.
@@charlieradant I was referring to his attitudes after the race, like this podcast interview he did ruclips.net/video/I0xPHq0k-xQ/видео.html I really liked them as well until I saw this interview, and how DeAngelo discredits the race and other teams afterwards.
@@benjaminthefabulous If I had been screwed over the same way they were, I would be just as angry. I cried for like twenty minutes after watching their elimination.
I liked this season with the exception of a few legs. The Berlin leg had a lot of potential but the alliance helped eachother off of Hung’s work which sucked because otherwise it would’ve been a great episode. Same with Manila, which was probably the worst leg for me. The beginning tasks were way too easy and then the 3 teams teaming up together should’ve been stopped, and I think that D&G could’ve beat R&M in that challenge. And then the finale was luck based, which sucked and gave no time for Hung and Chee or Riley and Maddison to catch up. But most of the season was good, the Blondes had a rootable underdog arch, Hung and Chee are some of my all time favorites, and all though some of the cast annoyed me at times it was still pretty good. And the route is good with the Kazakhstan, Manaus, and Trinidad and Tobago episodes being some of the best legs in newer seasons.
I loved the beginning but them sharing the answers for road blocks and such is just cheating, plain and simple. I don't mind people helping each other find clues and stuff like that, but your alliance is supposed to be with your race partner and no one else. And this alliance wasn't even that strong, they just played against a weak field in comparison to other newbie seasons. A lot of the times these teams struggled wasn't because of the challenges themselves being difficult but because they couldn't read their clue correctly. Also the final leg was kind of dull. When there is a mega leg and other legs with difficult challenges, it was very underwhelming to see challenges that did not require nearly as much skill as most of the previous legs. I don't think this is the worst season I've ever seen, but it's probably low tier for me (mid-low if generous). I hope they bring back the Mega Leg and yields (though not having an option to yield every leg, I prefer it in its original). And I know this is a long-shot, but they really need to allow teams to pick their own flights again.
I think the only reason that I like this season is because I was rooting for Will & James before the race even started, I have known of Will & James since season 1 of Big Sister, also them being a LGBTQ+ couple I was rooting for them because I’m bi. However, I really did like this season! I would give it a 7.5/10!
Wow you have a very unpopular opinion😂. If you like the season that’s great for you but personally I hate this season and I’m still mad about it. The couple did not deserve to win at all at least in my opinion and the finale felt super anti-climactic. I have a lot of other problems with the season but I would just be renting for a long time and I’m not doing that😂. The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it. At least all of that is my opinion
Certainly entitled to your opinion, love it or hate it. Me personally(bi too), I wanted to root for them, but my boyfriend and I quickly started to dislike them a few episodes later. I usually love alliances, but this one where 4 teams giving each other the answers and ganging up on the other teams, it just wasn't fun to watch.
You shouldn’t route for someone because of their sexuality. I thought they were annoying in the beginning but they quickly turned into bullies in the second half
Here’s how I feel about the season. I feel like all the teams this season were not that smart. Having an alliance win there’s five teams left isn’t that good of an idea. I think it would’ve been interesting if one of the teams of the alliance betrayed each other so they could try to get in first which would’ve been the smart thing to do because it’s a race for $1 million dollars. Doesn’t make sense why they would get rid of the weakest teams first considering the fact you would want to get rid of the strongest teams first. I thought The first half of the season was pretty good but the second half is when things kind of just fell apart. There were no twist no surprises in the second half of the season and even if there were they weren’t that good. Will and James in my opinion we’re not good winners they got way too much screen time and we’re just really annoying. My favorite team this season was the blondes because I thought they were nice people and I really like the underdog aesthetic and I like seeing everyone’s reactions when they were still in the race the next leg. The only real surprise in the season for me was the non-illumination legs being so close together. I actually didn’t notice how cheap the challenges were until you brought it up and now looking back they were pretty cheap but that honestly didn’t bother me. I think for the first half of the race is smart to have a Alliance but for the second half of just seems stupid. You can really tell the show Runners were trying to do something different because The second half of the race was so predictable not to mention the lack luster final episode. I’m really mixed on the season I really like some parts but really hated others. This season does have my favorite team of all time being the blondes but do I really want to have to re-watch most entire painful season just to see them again I mean I hope they return in the future but I doubt it. One more thing to mention is that the mega leg was painful to get through And the only thing keeping it kind of interesting was the blondes. Also am I the only one that instantly thought of mega leg from Mario galaxy when they mention the next leg would be a mega leg
"No twist no surprises". We had a whole Mega Leg and city sprint situation. Umm chile anyways... lol... I agree that this season was a mixture of the bad of TAR (think or don't think season 24 trauma) and the good of TAR (TAR12-17). Now that I think back, I feel like this whole season was basically edited in a way to have it at Will & James' wedding reception because even back at the intro, they were like the first ones introduced during their jog into the Hollywood Bowl. I feel like the producers should just ban help during tasks altogether. I don't get why you can penalize Cedric & Shawn in TAR30 for yelling out tips during the Roadblock to each other when Roadblock performers can do it scot-free. Makes no sense to me.
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep I feel like the city Sprint and mega leg are both pretty bad episodes in my opinion. The mega leg dragged on and it had no suspense and the city Sprint was kind of lame. I don’t think they should ban helping teams don’t get me wrong that’s what completely ruined the season but it does make sense to have alliances in the first few episodes but I’m pretty sure everyone in the season was too stupid to break up from their alliance. Having an alliance when there’s five teams left is stupid it’s a race for $1 million you don’t play nice when there are $1 million dollars on the line. But this is just my opinion
@@theearthkingdom7537 I'm for alliances, but not at the expense of tasks being ruined or people finding out how to bypass them by using that loophole in the Roadblock. Like no, if you're doing a task, do it the right way and by yourself. Otherwise, flat-out penalty. I don't know why that's so hard to implement. Brooke from season 29 made me so mad when she had to ask not one but THREE different racers for help and never received a penalty on the mat. It still pisses me off to this day. I've seen alliances pop up since season 3 (Aaron & Arianne's hunt against Derek & Drew), but it was mainly for navigation, flights, and morale which I'm not against because it's not controllable.
One of the worst seasons I've seen. The alliance was terrible and ruined the race and if this is really the final season of the show, this would be a horrible way to go out on
As someone who mostly cares about the personalities and charisma of teams, how they interact with one another, and with other teams, this was one of my favorite seasons in recent memory!!!
@@AppleSlipper The route irked me so much after Sri Lanka. The two China legs and the Hawaii/Chicago combo made me mad because of how unfair the setup of the tasks were.
I have seen each and every single one of the Amazing Race seasons, and everytime I select an underdog team or a very likeable team to win the race, and I can say without a doubt this season have none of that, the only team I really liked was Leo and Alana. I really disliked Will and James, they only ended up in the final due of the alliance helping them every 2 episodes 🙄, they were one of the weakest team to win the race in a long time!, for someone who loves seasons 7, 9 and thinks of season 24 as “the best one ever”, season 32 was a big “no, no” for me.
How can you like Leo and Alana? They crossed Hayley and Kaylynn during one of the roadblocks especially since Hayley and Kaylynn helped them when they got U turned. Glad they got yielded and eliminated in that same episode.
@@e1ectricman They understood that alliances are made to be broken, unlike the final three in Manila. I also loved them and would gladly see them return.
@@e1ectricman I have no problem with Leo and Alana not helping Haley and Kaylyn in Germany leg. Haley and Kaylyn U turned the father and son in Colombia leg because they owe Leo and Alana after helping them with the horn task. So for me they’re square up even about that and Leo has no choice because both of their team are in the last place. Also, Haley and Kaylyn admitted that they somewhat regretted yielding Leo and Alana in Kazakhstan leg because they got karma and had massive target on their back when they reached the India leg.
I was enjoying the season and I was obsessed then Leo and Alana got eliminated and I had no at all interest in continuing the season. Plus there elimination was brutal that u-turn was just obnoxious cause they were already so frustrated and stuck on the task so I hated that elimination.
This season started off good I felt like the cast didn’t have youre usually young arguing couples but the only team I really liked was Gary and De’angelo. Everyone else felt pretty lame and the biggest flaws were you didn’t have to book your own flights and they didn’t show the connections which made it too task based.
DeAngelo is so annoying, just a typical person who blames everything on others with excuses after excuses. He was clearly the MOST incompetent person in the final four teams, and would’ve been easily eliminated way earlier if it’s not with the helps from the alliance. Just why the fuck should other teams keep helping you guys when you guys took the cab 🚕 and the rickshaw 🛺 from teams that just helped you guys?? Typical all my problems are because of other people mentality.
Leg 1: NICE But I thought Nathan & Cody Had Potential But just got the 'Unlucky" boot at the beginning Leg 2: Race Lessons = Great Read your clue! Leg 3: CHAOS + U-turn LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT Leg 4: It's okay Not much to comment on Leg 5: Boring but Interesting Tasks were boring, the characters were interesting. Leg 6: Still thinking.... I don't know, felt kind of boring, but it's not the worst thing. Leg 7: I'm just so sick of this When the Villians of the season Meet their match. Leg 8: Loved Detour, Hated Roadblock The Detour Showcases what india is really like. VR/AR roadblock was so stupid. Leg 9: Boring Just BORING Leg 10: Frustration Curses, Gary & Deangelo Are so STUPID(Weak team you beat in THE FINALE U-TURNED)! I also hate that beard bros BURN THE BOARD! They just increased their target because they had two other teams who could've gotten to the board first. Leg 11: I love no one passing the task! Kept me on my toes till the last second. Leg 12: Loved the tasks, hated the outcome I loved the Mardi Gras Chaos(Put on the skinny necklaces) Will Almost Throwing Up Heights Task Hung & Chee's Globe Ball Becomes Torn Apart After Assembly is "Not Good".
I kind of prefer seasons where there is just one daredevil-y task per race that relates back to the area or back in the U.S. Otherwise, it's just like, oh there's another skydiving/rappel/bungee task.
This season will be much better in my opinion if Michele & Victoria survived the France leg. It has been a year and I am still sad about their elimination. Entertaining while messy but competent in completing task? Hell yeah 😂
Nice season except the winners I didn't like their aura at all and they were kind of annoying Gary and De Angelo were my favorites and once they got eliminated for reasons that can be discussed Hung and Chee was the ones I wanted to win.
Worst amazing race i seen .The race was very unfair to other ,need a redo and not to have the top 3 three team play {33}and would like to see who would win . they need new rules in place so this would not happen again
i’m not going to lie, I love this season. these characters are amazing and will and james are amazing winners. their game was so strong and will translate well to survivor and big brother. the only thing I didn’t like about this season was the yields, which seemed pointless, yet leo and alana STILL got screwed by it! I loved all these characters, and will and james deserved the win
I don't know why you're thinking of TAR as a diving board for Survivor and Big Brother.😐 Just because the Twinnies went onto Survivor doesn't mean everyone can and wants to go onto other shows.
Francesca -Self-Proclaimed B I T C H- Foley I think that they would do well on survivor and big brother though! I love amazing race, but strategy isn’t really shown to be very popular for the format, so I think they’d be fantastic on both survivor and big brother, which require strategy! I tend to value strategy more so than anything else as a big brother and survivor fan, so it was fantastic to see will and james exert a high amount of strategy
@@lioninja123 The only strategy I like for this show is navigation prowess and knowing different languages. Otherwise, I'm not a fan of herd mentality for TAR. On BB and Survivor, it's fair game since that's how it's suppose to be played. A marathoning race, no bueno.
This season had some boring ass teams, and the whole mine five thing made the show almost unwatchable imo, I feel like there was no sense of urgency this season to beat the other teams due to the alliance will and james set up, so ridiculous, hope to never see them again, bring back the cowboys and afghanimals…
I'd say bring back #TeamFun. I want to see their redemption of finishing higher than 5th place next time, hopefully making their way to the final 3 after two tough seasons.
It started off good, but by mid season it was literally just the alliance telling each other the answers, not even hints which is just so lame. Also with the blondes not being eliminated, it was super predictable. It's like oh the same team in last AGAIN for 3 episodes straight so there was so omg who is going to come in last. Will and James were super unlikeable to me. They literally just had the same line of "strategy" and "alliance" and saying it in the most irritating way ever. Some of the tasks were way too easy so the placements depended on if the team got lost in the taxi or not.
I knew a Big Brother and Survivor-holic like TMR was going to like this season, but I couldn't stand it. I watch this show for challenges and eliminations, not ostracism and bullying, as well as Will & James being my least favorite winners in the show's history. It's not that they were strategic, it's that they straight-up bullied other teams for no reason. They started the alliance because they were mad that two other teams were allied. How hypocritical is that? Even 8 and 26 had more fun moments than this. The race itself was great, it's a shame Will & James had to ruin everything. EDIT: Apparently the production crew didn't like this season. Is that good enough proof for you?
There's a reason why strictly pure Big Brother fans and Survivor fans don't mesh. Same reason with pure TAR fans against those other ones. They each have their own style and when it crosses over into another boundary, it just feels diluted.
I really liked this season. Sure, it got predictable with the alliance and whatnot, but I don’t really care about that, so long as the cast is enjoyable.
I'd like it more if they'd not help each other loophole their way during tasks. Point blank and the period. It was insulting to watch the cello Roadblock, Berlin Roadblock, Riley & Maddison spoiling teams about the whipped cream surprise, the music memory task, and the Indian table setting RB.
I thought this season was very boring. I disagree about the cast. I thought it was a very underwhelming cast except for a couple teams. Just a predictable season.
H, Just started a re watch of the older seasons of the show . About to finish watching season ten for the first time as I think I stop watching after a few episodes the during the original run of the season. I don't thin the show has the same budget for task . That why so many from this season seem cheap to me. I honestly love the Mine Five teams. Was hoping that Hung and Chee would have won.
I feel like it's the opposite. The tasks are overcomplicated and overthought today which makes it look cheap and underwhelming (the wooden fish task in Trinidad & Tobago, the hotel rappel in Berlin, the Kazakhstan Detour, a repeat of dentures). I remember in season 10, the majority of tasks were still simple enough to execute well that it appeared natural in its environment. By the way, LOVE season 10! All the teams, even Peter & Sarah which I thoroughly had to force a smile on my face (I feel bad for them today knowing what editors did to them). to watch them.
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep Season 10 was pretty bad, TBH. It started off alright, but I despise Dustin & Kandice and the second half was just weird with all the alliance stuff. I did love all three Six Pack teams, especially David & Mary.
@@coolnerdlll6053 For me, it's the locations and route that truly had me shook for season 10. Ha Long Bay, India, Kuwait, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Finland, Espana - such a breathtaking and unique sequence. It was the first season that flew westward rather than eastward, and it brought a whole new vibe to the race. I will criticize the faulty premiere and finale legs though. Midpoint Forbidden City elimination and grouping before a Detour felt off-beat. (Press L for Bilal & Sa'eed) And the New York landing was forgettable. But still, every single leg in between really bumped my standards to another level from the tasks down to the interactions from the teams (Cho Bros, David & Mary, beauty queens, the Lyns, Peter & Sarah's status as friends aging well after the fact, and even the recovery bros).
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep I've always wanted a reason why Dustin & Kandice are so great. I think they're one of the most insufferable teams ever. I really don't like the first All-Stars and it's mostly because of them (also I hate Charla & Mirna and the Oswald & Danny non-elimination leg).
@@coolnerdlll6053 You don't have to like them. For me, I enjoyed them in both seasons since watching their competitiveness was infective, and the way they got stuff done like navigating, tasks, and the airport chaos was intriguing to me. I found them as multifaceted and weren't afraid to let it out on TV. I'm more of a travel and task-oriented judger so I base my likings off of teams who inspire me in doing tasks and are lively, bold, can hold their own, or highly competitive throughout the show during these tasks. Dustin & Kandice fit in that slot to me. I don't judge TAR like I do Big Brother. For ref, BB I only judge based off of characters since that's the situation that's always changing.
Good season, Amazing cast. Loved the drama. I couldn’t understand some of the alliances decisions, including yielding the blondes 3 times (when I would of taken them closer to the end) and it’s weird sharing answers on the race. I can see helping but the flat out “this is the answer” just feels cheap for me. Will and James and great winners, hung and Chee are wonderful. Riley and Maddison... meh. Their edit just seemed like their biggest personality trait is their beards. I hope to see Leo and Alana and Kaylnn and Haley back!
The season started off pretty good, but it started dying once Leo & Alana were eliminated, and it was completely dead when Kaylynn & Haley were eliminated. I regret finishing this awful season, Will & James make me sick.
@@maxxh5331 I was asking about when they won, not regarding them throughout the entire season. Really the big thing I'm curious about is if you were even angry that they won, how angry were you on a scale from one to ten?
@@MrJon92as I meant throughout the whole finale, I hated every second of them winning. I have only seen Amazing Race 1 and 25+ so far, but they are the worst winners I have seen. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's definitely a 10.
@@maxxh5331 Most of your anger should be towards the producers though since Will and James mainly won due to the final leg having such a horrible design. Honestly, that season had one of the worst final legs on the show in terms of how it was designed.
People disliked Will and James? I loved them. Riley and Maddison were bleh though. Personally not huge on the season, but it was ok. Ngl though pretty much fell flat on its face after Alana and Leo left. I'd give it a 5/10.
I don’t like Will and James. I think they get way too much screen time than all of the others in the race and I also just found them really annoying but that’s just my opinion
My opinions on each team imo cuz I have opinions: Nate and Cody: They like noodling. Thats literally it, nothing else special. Kellie and LaVonne: I kinda wish they stayed longer. They aren't super fun characters tho, aside from one if them having dyslexia. Jerry and Frank: Who? Michelle and Victoria: Hated them at first, loved after their elimination. They are hella entertaining so I wouldn't mind them back. Leo and Alana: Leo is fine, Alana is annoying af with all of her accomplishments and diplomas and degrees and whatever f***ing skills she has Kay and Hay: Underdogs are fun, but not when they are bland af Eswar and Aparna: Nothing happened until they got U-Turned. Boring. Gary and DA: DeAngelo is extremely retarded but he is funny. Gary was also a likeable presence. Riley and Madison: Hung and Chee: Second fav team to the Football Players, were fun in the beginning but got less fun as the game went on. Will and James: They might be annoying but they definitely deserved their win. They created the only ever alliance to make the final 3 (idk if thats true or not) and be the masterminds in all of the season.
@@DJ-Gameday That is true, that is a bit of a knock against them. Plus thats one of the things that really annoyed me about them. I don't think they'll be able to get away with that again, assuming they return for an all-star season in the future.
The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it. At least for me anyway. I don’t think Will and James deserved their win and I did find them really annoying but I guess that’s just me
Hated them, they were annoying and they just ended up as incompetent bullies. They only really won because of the Alliance, which really shouldn’t be a thing
The fact that Gary and D'Angelo had to watch three teams collaborate in front of their eyes and be forced to take a penalty was silly. No team should ever have to default to a penalty because all the teams ahead of them were literally conspiring to get them out. I think they need to bring back booking your own flights, too. Those moments seem to create actual tension between teams. There were some interesting route choices and the teams were kind of interesting, but this will remain a low tier season for me.
I remember they had self-booking flights last season (Nicole & Victor's standby situation, finally a team causing airport drama!), but flights and attendants today are way better scheduled and informant than it was in the 2000s so that's why we haven't seen much of it.
Hell yeah the alliance ruined it, most boring teams I think I’ve ever seen
Like, couldn't they just go back and thoroughly read their clue once again on their own?
i just didn’t like how so many teams just got screwed by bad taxi drivers early on in the episode, making it clear who’s getting eliminated
Honestly, this season started off really really well. Trinidad & Tobago - great opener. Colombia though is where things began a rapid downhill spiral on the teams where sharing answers and help began to cheat other teams out of enjoying the race for its challenges and courage, rather it promoted just going straight to the Finish Line over the journey to get there. The twists were promising - the return of the Yield, the Mega Leg, and the city sprint that I judged during promos, but the results that came back were underwhelming and left a sour taste as the season went on. The New Orleans finale had probably the least entertaining finale I've seen yet where it didn't even feel like a final leg.
I did like the Marti Gras finale theme because I'm a big Renny Martyn fan, but other than that, I agree.
@@oldaccount6297 Not you getting inspired from Mardi Gras by Renny 😭
Imo it was better than s16 finale.
Facts it definitely started good but every week was extremely predictable and the finale was super anticlimactic
@@emmettmiller8524 I'm biased with that one since I live in the Bay Area, lol. But yeah, the season 16 finale was weak, but at least it was edited fast-paced and way more cohesively unlike the NOLA one we saw which bored me to tears. The memory task was just bad. Took like 10 minutes to hang tops.
In my opinion it started off good but every episode started to feel super predictable. The finale was also pretty lame and felt really anticlimactic. Liked Hung and Chee and Gary and D'angelo. The blondes were also cool and I would like to see them come back.
The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it
I was very mad DiAngelo and Gary were eliminated. Very petty
IT WAS THE ALLIANCE, im telling you that made the season so boring because you knew nobody would lie/u-turn each other, so lame.
Honestly this season really isn’t that bad amazing race fans are so negative about this season. The first 7 episodes are pretty great. The route was one of the best in a long time. And the cast was pretty likeable. People only hate will and James and Maddison and Riley because they where in an alliance.
The German leg is where I was starting to get iffy about this season and NOLA completely blew it. That Roadblock pissed me off more than anything where Hung, the only person who actually did it correctly gave away the answer 🤦🏾♀️, and other racers had to work with other people for help. It was almost as if the task didn't even matter. I'd rewatch certain episodes like T&T, Brazil (that chaotic market task specifically), India, France, and Paraguay, but I would never rewatch this front to back.
Wil and James were kinda annoying
The Mardis Gras episode portion with the collecting of 50 necklaces was soooooo exciting {apperant sarcasm}
ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzz......
I hated Will & James because they were cruel, manipulative bullies that were also extremely annoying. *And* they were in an alliance.
I don’t know I still hate this season. The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it. Whether people like it that’s fine but this is easily The worst season they’ve ever done at least in my opinion
The first half of this season was good. But the second half was a choice. I hate that the alliance kept sharing answers that was so annoying. Especially at the final 4 like that’s so unfair how Gary and Deangleo got booted and could do nothing about it. Bruh I don’t understand why people say oh deangelo was just being bitter and a sore loser. Like I totally get why he was upset there was nothing they could do when 3 teams gang up on them. And making them lose 1 million dollars. I bet a lot of you guys would be pissed to if that happened to you!
he wasn’t pissed about that, he was already well off and didn’t need the money. he said in his podcast that his main problem was that in between legs, they weren’t able to go around or do anything in the places they were staying and it took away from the experience
The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it
DeAngelo is so annoying, just a typical person who blames everything on others with excuses after excuses.
He was clearly the MOST incompetent person in the final four teams, and would’ve been easily eliminated way earlier if it’s not with the helps from the alliance.
Just why the fuck should other teams keep helping you guys when you guys took the cab 🚕 and the rickshaw 🛺 from teams that just helped you guys??
Typical all my problems are because of other people mentality.
@@benjaminthefabulous DeAngelo is annoying? More like Will and James!
@@poptartthefourth7295 And out of curiosity, how did you react when they won the whole thing in the end?

It was over for me after Kazakhstan. That whole Yield debacle was horrible.
@@coolnerdlll6053 And everyone was so happy, like what did they have against Leo and Alana lmao
@@adumba3709 My mom watched the season with me and that was what set her off. She went "This isn't Big Brother! Come on!" That was the moment I knew this was the new worst season ever.
I also enjoyed this season but for me I think it would rank somewhere in the middle. The biggest flaw for me was that I never felt like there was much of a race going on. I don't know, I guess I felt like there was never a real sense of urgency. It felt more like a Sunday stroll at times or, like you said, a fan-made race. I do suspect that the season might not hold up well on a rewatch in the future. I didn't mind the alliance so much but I did mind them outright giving the answers away. Riley/Maddison made a huge error in not splitting from the alliance. They never really got any info from the other teams but they cost themselves the race by first burning the U-Turn eliminating Eswar/Aparna and then by giving the answer to the music challenge away to Hung/Chee and Will/James.
AR loves going to India...every single year.
hell yeah like why would you burn the f’ing U-turn? SO BORING make it interesting I would’ve just U-turned the football players anyway who cares if they are behind you it makes things interesting, imo the alliance ruined this season and I hope to never see any of these teams again…
I agree, the people in the mine five are not terrible people, it's the answer sharing that made the season frustrating.
I’ve only seen seasons 31 & 32, but I can tell that S31 is significantly better than this season.
If you are interested in watching more I would recommend seasons 3,5,7,12,14,17,21,25
@@ronniebessling6802 Skip 21, replace it with TAR30.✌
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep honestly I can get behind that I kind of forget about 30 but when I do remember it was a strong season
@@ronniebessling6802 Yup! I thoroughly enjoyed the route that season and many teams (except BB19 and Alex & Conor at the end). I just wish they got rid of those stupid Head to Heads right before the Pit Stop or at least put them as the first thing teams do when they arrive in a new country. Literally the only thing keeping it down to a High Tier and not a Top Tier season.
My fav seasons are probably 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, and 21
Out of the 32 Amazing Races this one ranks at #32. Not sure of how they decided to pick teams this year but there were not too many strong ones compared to prior years. The final 3 provided us with the weakest of half of the teams there. The competitions were bland as well. No real enduance competitions.
Usually I choose a favorite who I cheer for a few episodes in, did not happen this time. Even the final 3 I had know favorite. Lost interest really.
I find it interesting how reading through the comments I see most people are not a big fan, this was my first season ever watching, as a first timer I loved it! It had absolutely everything i expected and more, I can assumed earlier season will always be better and shows change and people lose the same interest as before, but this season was really good from my newbie view. Can’t wait to watch others
Not my favorite season but not the worst IMO. I actually enjoyed a lot of character moments throughout but I can NOT rewatch this season's finale ever again. It was just so cringe watching that marriage proposal. I wasn't a fan of Will and James to begin with and, I don't know, I guess I just felt that it wasn't enough that they won the Race and the million dollars. That it wasn't enough attention on them so there had to be a marriage proposal on the Finish Line. The Chad/Stephanie and Lucas/Brittany proposals were far more impactful during those teams' seasons as they were randomly done throughout the race course, but really?? On the finish line where everyone is more excited to see who wins the Amazing Race title and the prize money? I don't know, maybe that's just me but I just really didn't.....it just kind of cheapened the ending for me. But again, that's just me.
Worst season I've watched. The alliance basically rigs the whole race to make sure their team that is not part of the alliance has to go. This isn't racing at all.
If I were to bring back my rankings of all the TAR season back in the Season Rankings video you did a year ago (for those wondering, I have a list under the comments ranking these seasons God, Top, High, Mid, Low, and Hazmat), I would put 32 under MID TIER solely because I'm thrilled of the locations, but most of the tasks did not meet my expectations. There are standout tasks, but the other ones didn't have their finest moments on screen. I liked a good handful of teams, but ended up only enjoying Hung & Chee (barely), Kaylynn & Haley, Michelle & Vic (I know I gave them sh!t), and Leo & Alana by the end of it. I wouldn't rewatch this season as a whole, but would select certain ones. Editing was better.
Deangelo and Gary were the best by far
DeAngelo is so annoying, just a typical person who blames everything on others with excuses after excuses.

I really liked them as well until I saw this interview, and how DeAngelo discredits the race and other teams afterwards.
@@benjaminthefabulous If I had been screwed over the same way they were, I would be just as angry. I cried for like twenty minutes after watching their elimination.
@@coolnerdlll6053 I literally was fuming after their elimination. Like what are you supposed to do when you have 3 teams conspiring against you??
I liked this season with the exception of a few legs. The Berlin leg had a lot of potential but the alliance helped eachother off of Hung’s work which sucked because otherwise it would’ve been a great episode. Same with Manila, which was probably the worst leg for me. The beginning tasks were way too easy and then the 3 teams teaming up together should’ve been stopped, and I think that D&G could’ve beat R&M in that challenge. And then the finale was luck based, which sucked and gave no time for Hung and Chee or Riley and Maddison to catch up. But most of the season was good, the Blondes had a rootable underdog arch, Hung and Chee are some of my all time favorites, and all though some of the cast annoyed me at times it was still pretty good. And the route is good with the Kazakhstan, Manaus, and Trinidad and Tobago episodes being some of the best legs in newer seasons.
Tbh I didn't watch most the last two episodes, it got boring after final 6. The cast was ok... I guess.
The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it
I loved the beginning but them sharing the answers for road blocks and such is just cheating, plain and simple. I don't mind people helping each other find clues and stuff like that, but your alliance is supposed to be with your race partner and no one else. And this alliance wasn't even that strong, they just played against a weak field in comparison to other newbie seasons. A lot of the times these teams struggled wasn't because of the challenges themselves being difficult but because they couldn't read their clue correctly. Also the final leg was kind of dull. When there is a mega leg and other legs with difficult challenges, it was very underwhelming to see challenges that did not require nearly as much skill as most of the previous legs. I don't think this is the worst season I've ever seen, but it's probably low tier for me (mid-low if generous).
I hope they bring back the Mega Leg and yields (though not having an option to yield every leg, I prefer it in its original). And I know this is a long-shot, but they really need to allow teams to pick their own flights again.
I think the only reason that I like this season is because I was rooting for Will & James before the race even started, I have known of Will & James since season 1 of Big Sister, also them being a LGBTQ+ couple I was rooting for them because I’m bi. However, I really did like this season! I would give it a 7.5/10!
Wow you have a very unpopular opinion😂. If you like the season that’s great for you but personally I hate this season and I’m still mad about it. The couple did not deserve to win at all at least in my opinion and the finale felt super anti-climactic. I have a lot of other problems with the season but I would just be renting for a long time and I’m not doing that😂. The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it. At least all of that is my opinion
Certainly entitled to your opinion, love it or hate it. Me personally(bi too), I wanted to root for them, but my boyfriend and I quickly started to dislike them a few episodes later. I usually love alliances, but this one where 4 teams giving each other the answers and ganging up on the other teams, it just wasn't fun to watch.
You shouldn’t route for someone because of their sexuality. I thought they were annoying in the beginning but they quickly turned into bullies in the second half
@@barelyhere7200 When Will and James won, how mad were you on a scale from one to ten?
@@waldmanj How did you and your boyfriend react when they won?
Here’s how I feel about the season. I feel like all the teams this season were not that smart. Having an alliance win there’s five teams left isn’t that good of an idea. I think it would’ve been interesting if one of the teams of the alliance betrayed each other so they could try to get in first which would’ve been the smart thing to do because it’s a race for $1 million dollars. Doesn’t make sense why they would get rid of the weakest teams first considering the fact you would want to get rid of the strongest teams first. I thought The first half of the season was pretty good but the second half is when things kind of just fell apart. There were no twist no surprises in the second half of the season and even if there were they weren’t that good. Will and James in my opinion we’re not good winners they got way too much screen time and we’re just really annoying. My favorite team this season was the blondes because I thought they were nice people and I really like the underdog aesthetic and I like seeing everyone’s reactions when they were still in the race the next leg. The only real surprise in the season for me was the non-illumination legs being so close together. I actually didn’t notice how cheap the challenges were until you brought it up and now looking back they were pretty cheap but that honestly didn’t bother me. I think for the first half of the race is smart to have a Alliance but for the second half of just seems stupid. You can really tell the show Runners were trying to do something different because The second half of the race was so predictable not to mention the lack luster final episode. I’m really mixed on the season I really like some parts but really hated others. This season does have my favorite team of all time being the blondes but do I really want to have to re-watch most entire painful season just to see them again I mean I hope they return in the future but I doubt it. One more thing to mention is that the mega leg was painful to get through And the only thing keeping it kind of interesting was the blondes. Also am I the only one that instantly thought of mega leg from Mario galaxy when they mention the next leg would be a mega leg
"No twist no surprises". We had a whole Mega Leg and city sprint situation. Umm chile anyways... lol... I agree that this season was a mixture of the bad of TAR (think or don't think season 24 trauma) and the good of TAR (TAR12-17). Now that I think back, I feel like this whole season was basically edited in a way to have it at Will & James' wedding reception because even back at the intro, they were like the first ones introduced during their jog into the Hollywood Bowl. I feel like the producers should just ban help during tasks altogether. I don't get why you can penalize Cedric & Shawn in TAR30 for yelling out tips during the Roadblock to each other when Roadblock performers can do it scot-free. Makes no sense to me.
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep I feel like the city Sprint and mega leg are both pretty bad episodes in my opinion. The mega leg dragged on and it had no suspense and the city Sprint was kind of lame. I don’t think they should ban helping teams don’t get me wrong that’s what completely ruined the season but it does make sense to have alliances in the first few episodes but I’m pretty sure everyone in the season was too stupid to break up from their alliance. Having an alliance when there’s five teams left is stupid it’s a race for $1 million you don’t play nice when there are $1 million dollars on the line. But this is just my opinion
@@theearthkingdom7537 I'm for alliances, but not at the expense of tasks being ruined or people finding out how to bypass them by using that loophole in the Roadblock. Like no, if you're doing a task, do it the right way and by yourself. Otherwise, flat-out penalty. I don't know why that's so hard to implement. Brooke from season 29 made me so mad when she had to ask not one but THREE different racers for help and never received a penalty on the mat. It still pisses me off to this day. I've seen alliances pop up since season 3 (Aaron & Arianne's hunt against Derek & Drew), but it was mainly for navigation, flights, and morale which I'm not against because it's not controllable.

@@AppleSlipper The route irked me so much after Sri Lanka. The two China legs and the Hawaii/Chicago combo made me mad because of how unfair the setup of the tasks were.
I thoroughly enjoyed the cast, the season and the winners.
I have seen each and every single one of the Amazing Race seasons, and everytime I select an underdog team or a very likeable team to win the race, and I can say without a doubt this season have none of that, the only team I really liked was Leo and Alana. I really disliked Will and James, they only ended up in the final due of the alliance helping them every 2 episodes 🙄, they were one of the weakest team to win the race in a long time!, for someone who loves seasons 7, 9 and thinks of season 24 as “the best one ever”, season 32 was a big “no, no” for me.
How can you like Leo and Alana? They crossed Hayley and Kaylynn during one of the roadblocks especially since Hayley and Kaylynn helped them when they got U turned. Glad they got yielded and eliminated in that same episode.
@@e1ectricman They understood that alliances are made to be broken, unlike the final three in Manila. I also loved them and would gladly see them return.
@@e1ectricman I have no problem with Leo and Alana not helping Haley and Kaylyn in Germany leg. Haley and Kaylyn U turned the father and son in Colombia leg because they owe Leo and Alana after helping them with the horn task. So for me they’re square up even about that and Leo has no choice because both of their team are in the last place. Also, Haley and Kaylyn admitted that they somewhat regretted yielding Leo and Alana in Kazakhstan leg because they got karma and had massive target on their back when they reached the India leg.
What was your reaction when they won?
I was enjoying the season and I was obsessed then Leo and Alana got eliminated and I had no at all interest in continuing the season. Plus there elimination was brutal that u-turn was just obnoxious cause they were already so frustrated and stuck on the task so I hated that elimination.
The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it
This season started off good I felt like the cast didn’t have youre usually young arguing couples but the only team I really liked was Gary and De’angelo. Everyone else felt pretty lame and the biggest flaws were you didn’t have to book your own flights and they didn’t show the connections which made it too task based.

I kind of prefer seasons where there is just one daredevil-y task per race that relates back to the area or back in the U.S. Otherwise, it's just like, oh there's another skydiving/rappel/bungee task.
This season will be much better in my opinion if Michele & Victoria survived the France leg. It has been a year and I am still sad about their elimination. Entertaining while messy but competent in completing task? Hell yeah 😂
Imagine if Michele & Vicoria with Leo & Alana made it to top 6, imagine the dramaa 😂
Nice season except the winners I didn't like their aura at all and they were kind of annoying Gary and De Angelo were my favorites and once they got eliminated for reasons that can be discussed Hung and Chee was the ones I wanted to win.
It was a good season tbh it had a great cast
Worst amazing race i seen .The race was very unfair to other ,need a redo and not to have the top 3 three team play {33}and would like to see who would win . they need new rules in place so this would not happen again
For those of you that despised Will and James, how did you all react when they won the whole thing?
I’m pretty sure Andy and tommy have the highest avg placement out of a non first or second place team
i’m not going to lie, I love this season. these characters are amazing and will and james are amazing winners. their game was so strong and will translate well to survivor and big brother. the only thing I didn’t like about this season was the yields, which seemed pointless, yet leo and alana STILL got screwed by it! I loved all these characters, and will and james deserved the win
I don't know why you're thinking of TAR as a diving board for Survivor and Big Brother.😐 Just because the Twinnies went onto Survivor doesn't mean everyone can and wants to go onto other shows.
Francesca -Self-Proclaimed B I T C H- Foley I think that they would do well on survivor and big brother though! I love amazing race, but strategy isn’t really shown to be very popular for the format, so I think they’d be fantastic on both survivor and big brother, which require strategy! I tend to value strategy more so than anything else as a big brother and survivor fan, so it was fantastic to see will and james exert a high amount of strategy
@@lioninja123 The only strategy I like for this show is navigation prowess and knowing different languages. Otherwise, I'm not a fan of herd mentality for TAR. On BB and Survivor, it's fair game since that's how it's suppose to be played. A marathoning race, no bueno.
I despised Will and James tbh
@@Ethang1103 You’re not the only one
This season had some boring ass teams, and the whole mine five thing made the show almost unwatchable imo, I feel like there was no sense of urgency this season to beat the other teams due to the alliance will and james set up, so ridiculous, hope to never see them again, bring back the cowboys and afghanimals…
I'd say bring back #TeamFun. I want to see their redemption of finishing higher than 5th place next time, hopefully making their way to the final 3 after two tough seasons.
@@KevinAbillGaming yeah they were a strong team, the redhead was cute too
It started off good, but by mid season it was literally just the alliance telling each other the answers, not even hints which is just so lame. Also with the blondes not being eliminated, it was super predictable. It's like oh the same team in last AGAIN for 3 episodes straight so there was so omg who is going to come in last. Will and James were super unlikeable to me. They literally just had the same line of "strategy" and "alliance" and saying it in the most irritating way ever. Some of the tasks were way too easy so the placements depended on if the team got lost in the taxi or not.
Will and James were just seriously a low point of the season
What was your reaction when they won in the end?
I liked this season and the alliance didn't bother me because it is not new in TAR.
I loved almost all the teams especially Hung and Chee.
I knew a Big Brother and Survivor-holic like TMR was going to like this season, but I couldn't stand it. I watch this show for challenges and eliminations, not ostracism and bullying, as well as Will & James being my least favorite winners in the show's history. It's not that they were strategic, it's that they straight-up bullied other teams for no reason. They started the alliance because they were mad that two other teams were allied. How hypocritical is that? Even 8 and 26 had more fun moments than this. The race itself was great, it's a shame Will & James had to ruin everything.
EDIT: Apparently the production crew didn't like this season. Is that good enough proof for you?
I’m a huge survivor fan and I hated this season
I’m a big amazing race fan and I actually liked most of the season except for the mega leg. This season isn’t even close to the worst season ever
There's a reason why strictly pure Big Brother fans and Survivor fans don't mesh. Same reason with pure TAR fans against those other ones. They each have their own style and when it crosses over into another boundary, it just feels diluted.
@@Ben-po8kf The mega leg was pretty horrible. The only saving grace for the mega leg would be the blondes for me but other than that it was pretty bad
@@UnderdawgMLB I'm also a huge Survivor fan who didn't really like this season.
I really liked this season. Sure, it got predictable with the alliance and whatnot, but I don’t really care about that, so long as the cast is enjoyable.
In which Will and James brought the cast down. Very frustrating team who just ended up being bullies for the other teams
i think personally i’d like the alliance aspect more had we not just come off of BB22
I'd like it more if they'd not help each other loophole their way during tasks. Point blank and the period. It was insulting to watch the cello Roadblock, Berlin Roadblock, Riley & Maddison spoiling teams about the whipped cream surprise, the music memory task, and the Indian table setting RB.
I don’t like it personally I think social dynamics in general would be interesting if that makes sense?
Agree. Except the fact that it’d only be a little more well received. Not a whole lot more but just a little.
I thought this season was very boring. I disagree about the cast. I thought it was a very underwhelming cast except for a couple teams. Just a predictable season.
Agreed, the only good teams were DeAngelo and Gary and the Blondes
H, Just started a re watch of the older seasons of the show . About to finish watching season ten for the first time as I think I stop watching after a few episodes the during the original run of the season. I don't thin the show has the same budget for task . That why so many from this season seem cheap to me. I honestly love the Mine Five teams. Was hoping that Hung and Chee would have won.
I feel like it's the opposite. The tasks are overcomplicated and overthought today which makes it look cheap and underwhelming (the wooden fish task in Trinidad & Tobago, the hotel rappel in Berlin, the Kazakhstan Detour, a repeat of dentures). I remember in season 10, the majority of tasks were still simple enough to execute well that it appeared natural in its environment. By the way, LOVE season 10! All the teams, even Peter & Sarah which I thoroughly had to force a smile on my face (I feel bad for them today knowing what editors did to them). to watch them.
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep Season 10 was pretty bad, TBH. It started off alright, but I despise Dustin & Kandice and the second half was just weird with all the alliance stuff. I did love all three Six Pack teams, especially David & Mary.
@@coolnerdlll6053 For me, it's the locations and route that truly had me shook for season 10. Ha Long Bay, India, Kuwait, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Finland, Espana - such a breathtaking and unique sequence. It was the first season that flew westward rather than eastward, and it brought a whole new vibe to the race. I will criticize the faulty premiere and finale legs though. Midpoint Forbidden City elimination and grouping before a Detour felt off-beat. (Press L for Bilal & Sa'eed) And the New York landing was forgettable. But still, every single leg in between really bumped my standards to another level from the tasks down to the interactions from the teams (Cho Bros, David & Mary, beauty queens, the Lyns, Peter & Sarah's status as friends aging well after the fact, and even the recovery bros).
@@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep I've always wanted a reason why Dustin & Kandice are so great. I think they're one of the most insufferable teams ever. I really don't like the first All-Stars and it's mostly because of them (also I hate Charla & Mirna and the Oswald & Danny non-elimination leg).
@@coolnerdlll6053 You don't have to like them. For me, I enjoyed them in both seasons since watching their competitiveness was infective, and the way they got stuff done like navigating, tasks, and the airport chaos was intriguing to me. I found them as multifaceted and weren't afraid to let it out on TV. I'm more of a travel and task-oriented judger so I base my likings off of teams who inspire me in doing tasks and are lively, bold, can hold their own, or highly competitive throughout the show during these tasks. Dustin & Kandice fit in that slot to me. I don't judge TAR like I do Big Brother. For ref, BB I only judge based off of characters since that's the situation that's always changing.
Good season, Amazing cast. Loved the drama. I couldn’t understand some of the alliances decisions, including yielding the blondes 3 times (when I would of taken them closer to the end) and it’s weird sharing answers on the race. I can see helping but the flat out “this is the answer” just feels cheap for me. Will and James and great winners, hung and Chee are wonderful. Riley and Maddison... meh. Their edit just seemed like their biggest personality trait is their beards. I hope to see Leo and Alana and Kaylnn and Haley back!
Hated Will and James the most, was routing for DeAngelo and Gary
The season started off pretty good, but it started dying once Leo & Alana were eliminated, and it was completely dead when Kaylynn & Haley were eliminated. I regret finishing this awful season, Will & James make me sick.
What was your reaction when they won the whole thing in the end?
@@MrJon92as eyerolls and disgust throughout.
@@maxxh5331 I was asking about when they won, not regarding them throughout the entire season. Really the big thing I'm curious about is if you were even angry that they won, how angry were you on a scale from one to ten?
@@MrJon92as I meant throughout the whole finale, I hated every second of them winning. I have only seen Amazing Race 1 and 25+ so far, but they are the worst winners I have seen. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's definitely a 10.
@@maxxh5331 Most of your anger should be towards the producers though since Will and James mainly won due to the final leg having such a horrible design. Honestly, that season had one of the worst final legs on the show in terms of how it was designed.
People disliked Will and James? I loved them. Riley and Maddison were bleh though. Personally not huge on the season, but it was ok. Ngl though pretty much fell flat on its face after Alana and Leo left. I'd give it a 5/10.
I don’t like Will and James. I think they get way too much screen time than all of the others in the race and I also just found them really annoying but that’s just my opinion
I found James exactly like a male version of Rachel Reilly. It's so annoying when you have someone so aggressively catty behind other people's backs.
@@mreurodude1 I was voting for the blondes. I like their underdog aesthetic
@@theearthkingdom7537 Yeah they weren't bad either and they were really easy to root for
yeah it sucked after final 7
Oh boy.... This is gonna be fun
My opinions on each team imo cuz I have opinions:
Nate and Cody: They like noodling. Thats literally it, nothing else special.
Kellie and LaVonne: I kinda wish they stayed longer. They aren't super fun characters tho, aside from one if them having dyslexia.
Jerry and Frank: Who?
Michelle and Victoria: Hated them at first, loved after their elimination. They are hella entertaining so I wouldn't mind them back.
Leo and Alana: Leo is fine, Alana is annoying af with all of her accomplishments and diplomas and degrees and whatever f***ing skills she has
Kay and Hay: Underdogs are fun, but not when they are bland af
Eswar and Aparna: Nothing happened until they got U-Turned. Boring.
Gary and DA: DeAngelo is extremely retarded but he is funny. Gary was also a likeable presence.
Riley and Madison:
Hung and Chee: Second fav team to the Football Players, were fun in the beginning but got less fun as the game went on.
Will and James: They might be annoying but they definitely deserved their win. They created the only ever alliance to make the final 3 (idk if thats true or not) and be the masterminds in all of the season.
Will and James should’ve been able to fight without the alliance the whole time they woulda fasholy lost if De’angelo and Gary were in the finale
@@DJ-Gameday That is true, that is a bit of a knock against them. Plus thats one of the things that really annoyed me about them.
I don't think they'll be able to get away with that again, assuming they return for an all-star season in the future.
@@DJ-Gameday I disagree. They would have been gone in India without the alliance. Both Roadblocks required someone to help them.
The blondes were easily the saving grace of the season but as soon as they got eliminated there was nothing left that was good about it. At least for me anyway. I don’t think Will and James deserved their win and I did find them really annoying but I guess that’s just me
Could have been a more competitive race but was a blast to watch and the characters were great. Loved will and James and cried at the engagement
Hated them, they were annoying and they just ended up as incompetent bullies. They only really won because of the Alliance, which really shouldn’t be a thing
Worst season ever. Season 8 was worst.
Watched all seasons...disliked this season the most because of the alliances, totally not fair..
Great season period!
That’s very controversial😂
