Oh, I disagree about the Fran/Barry part. One of my three favorite teams, along with Dave/Lori and Ray/Yolanda. They kicked ass in Oman!!! =P

I really don't dislike Eric/Jeremy or Dani/Danielle. I just hate what they did to TARAS. If Jeremy wouldn't have imploded upon himself and got all nastyfat, I would've enjoyed it more.

The more I think about it, the more I realize I LOVE TAR9. With the exception of Dani/Danielle and Eric/Jeremy, all the teams were fun, the locations were ALL great, and the challenges were pretty nice, too, with the obvious exception of the gnomes.

TAR9 <3 (though replace Eric/Jeremy with Fran/Barry. They were the only two teams that really doomed it)

That being said, it appears that they ramped up the bunching at the end of the season....

I thought that altitude factor added a novel dimension to the race

This episode reminded me of the first Swiss leg in TAR3 - slow-paced and yet intense all the way to the pitstop.

Of course, altitude sickness and constant walking were factors in both legs.

This was a very intense leg! I don't know if we've had so many placement changes and people finishing so close to each other in awhile

Good point, that was the only other really bad one but Weavers on the Bus beats the Sports Bra feud. Apart from those two and TAR12's, the third episode of every season is always gold

No airport drama. I am sad.
Airport drama is the most exciting thing in the Amazing Race. I guess they didn't air the drama because of the closeness of the teams arriving.

If not for Monicas tits, that would have been one of the worst legs ever.

It was actually a pretty decent leg. Probably one of the best South American legs recently (except Romber getting PWNED, of course). It probably would have been nicer if someone had used the U-Turn.

Actually, I think this leg contrasted extremely nicely to the last leg at a beach environment ... it definitely was one of the best South American legs post-Season 5.

The leg in Bolivia is one of my favorite this...

After all that hype, no-one used the U-turn!?

Still, the bike task was pretty cool. And I was actually scared at how fast some of the teams were going because I wouldn't trust the brakes on a wooden piece of crap like that.

The leg in Bolivia is one of my favorite this season because of the altitude sickness. It brings a new flavor to the race :).

They had the same thing in Peru,...

Did anyone else notice how much slower everyone seemed to go, because of the high altitude and all that? I felt it was interesting, and a much-needed change of pace from the frantic, in-your-face style that TAR is known for. I'm not saying make it like this all the time. Just once is good...but I really liked the change.
