So, decided to start with Season 1. I binge watched Seasons 1-3 thus far. It’s really interesting to see how much of a role travel/tickets/navigation played in the early seasons. The seasons are kind of raw, but there’s an appeal to them - hadn’t yet become formula-ized. I think Season 3 kind of got on my nerves though - didn’t like the team that won, didn’t think they deserved to win. Might be time for a break, time to watch something else

I agree. Flo was one of the most annoying TAR contestants ever.

So I just finished watching The Pack on Amazon. I loved it! It is basically Amazing Race with your dog. Lindsay Vonn is the host.
Same producer is doing a show called Tough As Nails. It’s a contest among blue collar workers doing various blue collar work challenges (e.g. putting up post and fencing). Season 1 was pretty good. I think Season 2 starts tonight on CBS.
For anyone that likes non-US versions, the new season of the Amazing Race Australia started last week. The Aussies really know how to carer to the diehard fans - 3 episodes a week.

Where can you watch Amazing Race Australia or Canada?
I am currently watching Season 7 of Amazing Race US. Some intense competition in this one, including some foot races to the pit stop!
Yes, where can I watch Amazing Race Australia??
To watch Amazing Race Canada, I had to search for episodes on YouTube.
If you have Amazon Prime, they have all seasons of TAR Canada
Oh, that’s great news! Thanks, JustaMom!

Can anyone recommend a great season of AR Canada? I’ve seen an episode here and there when we were at our summer cottage in Canada but never have followed a season.
Season 2 is the best season of TAR Canada, followed by Season 4.

We’ve watched all of them also. I don’t remember the specific seasons by number, but I think the family season was stupid. Some of the changes they’ve made also make the show less enjoyable I’ve noticed. I wish they would interview the losers afterwards more thoroughly or have a final show where we hear about the specific episode or season in more detail. They aren’t good about building the suspense these days either. They got rid of the express pass also and the way teams are now forming alliances and how they’re using them also takes the fun away in it. It’s not necessarily the best team winning.
Saw the promo that Amazing Race new season is starting in January! Will be nice to see one after a long time. Read somewhere that there may be significant changes this season - they might have a private plane to fly teams from place to place?
