I'm nearing the end of TAR10, and I've noticed that the editing this season is rather "hmm, they've shown of all but one of the teams in confessionals, cheerily talking about what we're currently seeing them do in the past tense, often in locations we haven't seen yet. I wonder who's leaving this week!"... never change, CBS, never change!
(and if I had a dollar for each time they've used the exact same "come on, Lynette" soundbite, I'd be richer than everyone who's ever won this show combined) |

Quick pre-All Stars ranking (and by "pre-All Stars" I mean "I remembered to do this ten minutes into the first episode"):

Brenchal u-turning Dave and Connor leaving them fuming and the rest turning on them like sheeps
It's pretty ridiculous how they turned on Brenchal because they did that, it's a competition and Dave and Connor are threats Leo & Jamal had no beef with Brenchal but turned on them because of Dave and Connor :s Brenchal are in it to win and not to play happy families like the rest.. It was pretty hilarious Brenchal was mentioned 5000 times by the sheeps on the next episode. Dave and Connor would have probably u-turned them if they had the chance.

Late to the party as ever, I just finished bingeing TAR29 (having known... let's say a couple of spoilers beforehand), and I have ranked the pairs thusly:
Brooke & Scott Brooke & the spirit of Flo Pesenti which possessed her for the entirety of the race Vanck & Ashton Becca & Floyd Shamir & Sara Tara & Joey Shamir's right ball & Shamir's left ball Jessie & Francesca London & Logan Kevin & Jenn Seth & Olive Tara & telling people she was in the army at every given opportunity Liz & Michael Matt & Redmond Joey & telling everyone he's from Boston at every given opportunity |

TAR30:
Alex & Conor Lucas & Brittany Cody & Jessica Henry & Evan Kristi & Jen April & Sarah Cedric & Shawn Trevor & Chris Eric & Daniel Joey & Tim Dessie & Kayla (only because they had a total of maybe three minutes of airtime tops?) |

TAR12:
Ronald & Christina (the much-hyped Renaissance of Ron being a season-long transition from calling his daughter fat and pushing her off a bike onto the road to… not pushing her into a taxi like Nate & Jen? a hernia playing a bigger part in the narrative of the season than TK & Rachel ) Nathan & Jennifer (their Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in Dubrovnik Jennifer getting attacked by a chihuahua five minutes into the leg in Mumbai Jennifer turning into a classic reality TV emotional birthday terrorist in Taipei "the best team’s gonna finish last and that’s us" "...finish last?! " ) Kynt & Vyxsin Shana & Jennifer ("I’m sorry I nearly just got killed by a bus I guess I need to calm down " <3<3<3 when will your faves?) (also the show tried remarkably hard to make their decision to U-Turn Lorena & Jason out to be a strategically poor one, when in actuality it... wasn’t) (although I’m not sure whether or not it’s a generally accepted theory that they just mistook TK & Rachel for Lorena & Jason at the U-Turn mat, because I feel as though that’s what happened. Still, not even the dumbest U-Turn decision of the season) Azaria & Hendekea Nicolas & Donald (a third-boot team making the final leg via sheer luck and a tattoo they didn’t even need to get Nicolas being passive to everyone, including his 70-year old grandfather, the entire season, only to turn around in the penultimate leg and decry everyone in the race for being bitches and pansies, including himself ) Lorena & Jason Kate & Pat (‘married lesbian grandma church ministers’ is a casting archetype this show would be much poorer without ) Marianna & Julia TK & Rachel (repeatedly stating that your strategy is to be as boring as possible is one thing, but putting it into practice by always being so far behind or ahead of the other teams that you never allow for the possibility of engaging in inter-team drama is another) Ari & Staella (lol) I appreciated this season because for all its efforts to bring in new twists and mark a new, post-All Stars era of the show, it still felt very old school in its jankiness (any time a team finished first and Phil would be like "congratulations, you’ve won a bike with three wheels!" when they were expecting a holiday to the Maldives That leg where they had to carry a chicken with them at all times for no particular reason The leg where you could obviously tell which team was going home because their confessionals were filmed at the pit stop, when everyone else’s were filmed in the hotel courtyard The leg where production decided they were sick of these punk ass teams and attempted to drown them, drive them off a teetering bridge, burn their feet and make them run into fireworks ) p.s. lol at this being the shot of the winners they chose to freeze frame at the end, how poetically bland: Spoiler: |

Omg I've been meaning to rewatch 12 but can't remember how good it was (all I remember is just adoring Ron & Christina [one of my Top 10 teams ever] and Azaria & Hendekea )
Did you enjoy it?

Above all, I'm just really glad that the season ended in an eight-team tie win for Ron & Christina, Nate & Jen, Kynt & Vyxsin, Shana & Jennifer, Azaria & Hendekea, Nicolas & Don, Lorena & Jason and Kate & Pat, instead of ending with any other potential outcome |

I don't think I ever completed 8 you know, that's another I need to watch but I watched like one ep ages ago and gave up when it felt too unfamiliar to the usual TAR format and also because the black family got booted first lmao <3

And from what I gather from my limited knowledge of TAR8, the black family are actually called The Black Family, which just feels too on-the-nose even for a reality TV show

Ari & Staella have to have one of the most negative edits ever for first boots From stealing sweetheart Ron & Christina's taxi to finishing dead last lmao

The Kid Nation promos at the end of each ep also remind me that I need to get round to watching that too
