The Best Season Of The Amazing Race FINAL 3
« on: Jan 14^th, 2007, 12:38pm »

Welcome to the two-part season finale.

Season 5 - 8 Votes
Season 10 - 7 Votes
All-Star Edition - 6 Votes NON-ELIMINATION ROUND

Vote for the season(s) you liked the best, or looking forward to (All-Stars).

The final and last poll will end on Sunday at 9 pm Eastern Standard Time where the totals and the winner will be announced then.

Eliminated Seasons
12. Season 9
This season was the first season back to the original format after Season 8. It visited Brazil again, Europe, Australia, and Asia. New locations such as Oman, Sicily and Japan were visited. The female curse continued it's damage eliminating Lisa/Joni, Wanda/Desiree, and Danielle/Dani all back to back. We got a semi Flo redux thanks to Monica with the fish challenges, and the pottery one, it was sad to see them go. The oldest couple in the competition Fran/Barry made it to 5th after previously placing 1st. Our bickering couple RaYo barely made it into the final 3. Front runners BJ/Tyler and Eric/Jeremy placed 1st on all the legs except for 2 which caused many people to stray away from this season.

11. Family Edition
This season featured teams of 4 which was made up of families instead of teams of 2. Traveling most of the season within the US and 2 legs in Central America (Panama City, Costa Rica). The team dynamics such as the religious Weavers vs. the Linz Family gave some much needed entertainment, making up for the lack of tasks (visiting the largest chair, a trailer park, BP gas station.) This edition's winners were spoiled from the beginning from an online betting game. We also saw another female team, The Godlewski sisters make it to the final 4 before getting eliminated. Another interesting thing was the final 3 of the 4 teams were primarily dominated by women which was interesting to see.

10. Season 1
This was the first original season of the race. It set up the rules, the penalties, and what future races would be like. Visiting many exotic locations such as South Africa, China, India, and France. We got a mix of teams from relationship teams to family related teams. Our first ever villains were born and were Joe/Bill. While they had intensive travel skills, that was quickly lost while they got left behind in Alaska and never passing the finish line. We got our first of many bickering teams which included Paul/Aimee, Frank/Margarita, which makes them look nice compared to other couples in seasons to come. Nancy/Emily were the team many people wanted to see in the final 3, but with a risky decision to quit the detour, their penalty was too much for them to recover from. Rob/Brennan was poised as the typical alpha male team throughout the season, and would not be the last of male winners. This season set up the format of the race to come in other seasons.

9. Season 4
This season again included 12 teams, and followed the route of season 3. Having a majority of the legs take place in Europe, and also traveled to Asia, and Australia which hadnt been visited since Season 2. The race had their first model and actor, teams the race would soon be familiar with. It also had another gay team, which would soon win and be the first and only gay team to win the amazing race. Love birds Kelly/Jon came on the race to have fun, and indeed they did by making up nick names for fellow teams aka Millie/Chuck, who was hit the hardest. David/Jeff pulled a team Guido by getting left behind in the final leg, and never making it to the final city. The female team curse was born again eliminating Monica/Sheree and Tian/Jaree back to back.

8. Asian Edition
This edition featured 10 teams of all Asian background. The season traveled to various Asian countries. Not as popular as the American version, partially due to the poor editing, easy or repeated tasks from the American version, and the predictability of the non-elimination rounds. We do however get a rivalry between Sandy/Francesca, and Andy/Laura who were yielded by them. Andy/Laura is the second team to be eliminated after being yielded. Right now only 4 teams remain.

7. Season 7
This seasons route was different from all the other seasons in being that it didnt go around the world. It traveled to South America, South Africa, India, then to Europe. Survivors Rob/Amber joined in the competition which many teams didnt approve of including rivals Debbie/Bianca, Susan/Patrick, and Lynn/Alex. Many accidents happened in this race including Brian/Gregs jeep flipping over, and Merediths fall in South Africa. Meredith/Gretchen the oldest couple in the season hung in the race every single leg, but was eliminated right before making it into the final 3. Ron/Kelly who came on the race to see if there could be a relationship from their friendship quickly found out that they were on two different paths, which caused for some tension throughout the season. Winners Uchenna/Joyce, who began the final leg with no money or possessions, came from behind to win the million dollars in the most controversial ending ever. The to be continued leg continued in India having teams check in what they thought was a Pitstop on the rooftops of an apartment building.

6. Season 2
This race included the races first visit to South America. This season stayed away from Europe and traveled to South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, before returning to the US making stops in Hawaii, Alaska, and finally ending in San Francisco. This season gave us 3 female teams, but was cut short of 2 of them in the first 3 episodes, leaving Mary/Peach left who quit while not being able to complete a task in Hong Kong. The standout rivalry was between Tara/Wil and Wil verses Blake and Chris/Alex. Chris/Alex who formed a rocky alliance with Tara/Wil lasted to the end, where they narrowly defeated Tara/Wil in the races most exciting finishes to date. The 2 hour season finale was one of the best season finales from Tara/Wil loosing their clue to the sprint to the finish line. No other season finale has been able to stand up or beat this one yet.

5. Season 3
The Amazing Whiner is what this season should have been called. Having 12 teams instead of 11 definitely twisted the non-elimination legs up a bit. Traveling to Mexico, Europe which had 6 legs this season, Africa, and Asia, set up for a rather short race route compared to Season 2s. Twins, Derek/Drew became everyones top team they wanted out of the race, they were fit, young, and did pretty decent up until Vietnam. Sweethearts John Vito/Jill never caught a break until Switzerland but was eliminated in the very next leg after coming in 1st the previous leg due to the fast forward. Married parents Teri/Ian the oldest couple in the race proved that older people can make it far in the race, and made it all the way to finals and placing 2nd. Flo/Zach came on the race to see if there could be a relationship, but all Flo gave him was an earful all along the trip starting on the cliffs in Spain. Another showmance was formed between Flo and her attraction to Drew. The darkest moment came in the season final where Flo threatened to quit numerous times. In the end her team won, giving the race its first co-ed win.

4. Season 6
This seasons route was similar to seasons 3, and 4 traveling to Europe, Africa, and Asia. A new roadblock rule was created allowing only each teammate to perform 6 roadblocks throughout the entire race. The yield was also decreased to only 3 legs. We also saw the races first To Be Continued leg which was a combined leg including 2 roadblocks and 2 detours in one leg. Another interesting cast set way to travel the world. We got a relapse of Marsha/Jim in the form of Gus/Hera. Jonathans behavior on the race, made people forget about Colin in the previous season due to Jonathans abusive comments to his partner and wife Victoria, escalating his violence to pushing her in Germany. Hayden/Aaron dating actors gave viewers a relapse of Flo/Zach mainly to Haydens freaking out about many things during the race and Aarons cool temper. Sisters Lena/Kristy had the saddest elimination that season, which caused viewers to question the legit of the tasks. Long distance daters, Kris/Jon were a breath of fresh air with their consistently positive attitude and consistent racing pattern which is a complete opposite to winners Freddy/Kendra who made very racist comments throughout the season and had up and down finishes on many legs. Adam/Rebecca was entertaining due to Rebeccas sense of humor and Adams fear of almost everything that he had to do. The female curse struck again eliminating Meredith/Maria and Lena/Kristy back to back.

Can't we just stick with one thread? You can just remove the poll after you gathered the data and then start a new poll in this thread for a new round. I think that's doable. <-- is that a word? lol

Oh and I voted season 5, but I was sad to see Season 1 eliminated.

The first father/son team wasn't in TAR 4, it was TAR 3. Dennis/Andrew were the first, not Steve/Josh... hehe...are the first few seasons too long ago to remember?

By the way, I don't think I need to tell anyone which season I voted for. Wink

I bet everyone knows. Grin
