I got into it on a deployment b/c it was on a channel showing episodes every day. Now I have gotten into it with my kids and it is by far my favorite reality TV show. I like the premise of the show, but the family time probably means 10x as much.

In seasons 16 and 18, 2 of the Harlem Globe Trotters were on there and my girls loved them. Then we took the girls to see them at the civic center and they were ecstatic.

Can't wait for season 20 to air this spring/summer! Anyone else enjoy the show?

I have been a fan of it since the first season. No silly intrigue, no alliances, no backstabbing, just don't be the last team to get to the pit stop. Great show!

Its the only reality show I watch. Never miss it. This year was fairly dull imo. No teams that I really hated.

I liked them but some of the dumbest contestants ever. Just couldnt get past a "thinking" challenge. The first year they couldnt figure out that telephone thing so they decided to take a 6 hour penalty!!

Exactly

Flight Time wasn't as bad as Big Easy, but I wonder if he can even read sometimes...

This year was kind of dull. I was pulling for Jeremy and Sandy at the end of the season b/c Sandy was the hottest one left. Marcus Pollard wasn't a genius either though.

Agreed - my absolute favorite reality show.
As a teacher, each summer I chaperone a group of students on world trips, and every season of TAR, I see at least one place that I have been - very cool! While I have never run into them filming, a good friend of mine has seen them - this past season in the L.A. Airport right as they were departing.

I would LOVE to be on this show!!

I was hurting for the man on his 50th attempt at landing the simulator!

BTW, I hated how the show urged him to use a football innuendo every time they talked to him!

The last episode was low on the drama. That's okay, but one team was so far ahead of the others it was ridiculous. They tried to edit it for drama, but it was pretty obvious they were well ahead.

I will admit I yelled at the tv when they kept showing the Swan House and the cab would drive right by looking for a parking spot. "GET OUT THE DAMN CAR AND RUN!"

The team that won this year sucked. That Asian girl was such a huge bitch. I hope her fiance watches that and realizes what a terrible person she is.
