I have been into TAR this summer, so I can't wait to watch a new season.

I've seen season 5 and 6 and I plan to see season 7 before season 17 starts. But I have to say, I like earlier season better than the current ones. Although, season 16 was probably my favorite season in recent years.

The Early Seasons are amazing. 5 & 7 are my favorite. I hated last seasons so hopefully this season is much better.

Just be prepared for Rob/Amber hogging the screen. Overall it was a good cast though.

Season 5 was my first season of TAR (LOVED this season. Still my absolute favorite next to TAR1, though 2 and 3 are excellent as well) and I saw seasons 1-4 on GSN when they briefly aired the show and I LOVE the early seasons. Season 6 was OK. Season 7 was great. Mostly liked All Stars but wasn't a fan of the Family version. After that I've watched sporadically and can never get back into it, and I love the show.

I love Rob/Amber, so I don't care. :lol:

I've seen three episodes so far, and they didn't really hog it.

I'm really liking season 7 so far. :D I don't know who wins it, so hopefully I won't stumble upon it somewhere. I'm reading these threads VERY CAREFULLY.. lol

I won't spoil it for you.

Season 6 was awful IMO. I couldn't stand the winners. All Stars was pretty good except for the winner again lol. Never watched the Family Edition. My favorite seasons Post All Stars were Ken/Tina's season & Brian/Ericka's season.

I guess Wii is coming out with a Amazing Race game.

Thanks, darrah, for not spoiling it for me :D

I hated season 6 winners, Kendra and Freddy. UGH! I can't believe Kris and John lost by a minute (and because the stupid train stopped them)!

Yeah Freddy & Kendra were annoying. I didn't care for Kris & Jon at first. I found them way too nice lol. But they grew on me as the season went on. Season 6 was really the start of casting mactors.

Who did you like in Season 5? I loved Chip/Kim, Charla/Mirna & the bowling moms.

Oh and the only good thing about Season 6 was how close the finish was. Nothing will top Season 2's ending though. That was an amazing Finish.

Kris/Jon :(

I loved them. I almost never go for the boring couple but I hated Freddy and Kendra.

Season 6 was OK. I'd take that season over some more recent seasons. At least they tried to cast some compelling teams.

After All Stars was actually very good except for the winner, which was typical at the time for All Stars. At least Sandra corrected getting a "who" as a shitty winner in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains :)

Just finished with Season 7. I LOVED IT! I am so happy Uchenna and Joyce won! The woman shaved her head and they went into the last leg of the race without any money! And plus, I do like Rob and Amber, but Rob just got too cocky and obnoxious as the race went on. But I did love how he managed to scheme and manipulate people even on this show! lol They were really lucky though.

I was also very impressed by how great Meredith and Gretchen made it. I loved them more after each leg. I couldn't believe the stuff they did. Every new task, I would think... Okay, this is where Meredith and Gretchen are gone. But they kept going. And poor Gretchen falling in that cave and hurting her head, but even with a head injury, she kept going.

Season 7 is probably my favorite as of right now. I only watched season 5,6,7 and everything after the All Stars (I have not watched the All Stars yet). So it would probably go:

1. Season 7
2. Season 5
3. Season 6
4. Season 16
5. Season 12
6. Season 15
7. (tie) Season 13/Season 14)

As for season 5... I think I'm the only one, but I hated Mirna and Charla. From the minute Charla said (on the premiere episode) that she wants to prove that little people can do just as good as others and then 10 minutes later, she started whining how no one is helping her finish a task... that was it for me. And then she used her size to get a plane ticket (saying she needs to catch a plane to see a doctor) and many other stuff that just annoyed me. And they were just as bitchy to others as the others were to them. So I didn't care for them and was cheering so much when they were gone.

I did LOOOVE Chip and Kim and the Bowling Moms.

Uchenna & Joyce were great. They were boring at first but as soon as Joyce shaved her head I <3 them.

Charla & Mirna were always love for me. Mirna was such a raging bitch lol.

My Rankings would be..
1. Amazing Race 5: I loved pretty much every team even Colin & Christie.
2. Amazing Race 7: Uchenna & Joyce, Merideth & Gretchen <3 Rob & Amber were okay as well.
3. Amazing Race: All Stars: Out of all the reality shows this had the best All Stars cast. It's a shame the worst pairing were the winners.
4. Amazing Race 15: The Best post All Stars Season. Loved Brian & Ericka.
5. Amazing Race 1: The Original. Not as drama filled but it was a great race.
6. Amazing Race 2: Best Finish Ever. I wish we could get another season that ended as close as that.
7. Amazing Race 9: Pretty good season. Meh with BJ & Tyler.
8. Amazing Race 13: Loved Ken & Tina but hated the winners.
9. Amazing Race 14: Meh. I didn't mind it and I found Tammy & Victor okay. Hated Margie & Luke.
10. Amazing Race 10: Loved the season but hated the winners. David & Mary <3
11. Amazing Race 4: I didn't mind Chip & Reichen at the time. Kelly & Jon were my fave.
12. Amazing Race 3: It's meh for me. Flo & Zach were hilarious. Loved Teri & Ian.
13. Amazing Race 12: TK & Rachel are one of the worst winners ever. Ron & Christina were great though.
14. Amazing Race 6: Freddy & Kendra were AWFUL!
15. Family Edition: Only saw 2 or 3 episodes. Lame season.
16. Amazing Race 16: The cowboys ruined it for me. I found them so damn dull. Jeff & Jordan couldn't save this season.

Really? You hate this last season so much?? Wow, I really liked it. I loved the cowboys and the brothers! And J&J! And I kinda liked the detectives too! I couldn't stand Caite and Brent, but they came in 3rd so I was happy...

Man this making me nostalgic for the earlier seasons!

LOVED Meredith and Gretchen. They were an awesome older team. They were on par with the Bowling Moms for me. I was on the edge of my seat every time hoping they each would stay in. I think overall though, as a whole, Season 5 is just excellent. Season 7 follows it. Season 6 and Season 4 were OK, not great, but better than the current seasons have been.

I stopped watching after episode 3. I just found it to hard to watch. I'm just hoping this season is much better after such a lame season of Big Brother. Survivor has been quite lousy for awhile as well and I don't have much hope for this season.
