Season 6 - The first time. Brought something new although it was just irritating to have a recap in between.
Season 7 - The real trick this time. When Rob & Amber stepped on the mat first I gave a similar face Phil gave to them.
Season 8 - Slightly interesting only because of the footrace for first and the Godlewskis thinking they were really doomed.
Season 9 - Nothing really significant only that the location was worthy of being a real Pit Stop, and it came earlier than...

The one where you pair up with another team is the 1 I hate. It can totally screw teams over

I don't mind TBC's all that much. The one in TAR6 in Hungary was pretty awesome. And wasn't there one in TAR10 in Finland? After that repell task?

Technically it was replaced by the U-Turn but yeah. No signs of the whole concept of hindering of another team being removed.

Yield/U-TURN I just hate that concept all together.

I have mixed feelings about it

I'm going to expect a TBC next season if there are 12 legs next season. The only acceptable case for a TBC is in the first 4 legs of the race. We get to see more of the teams so we don't have to focus so much on only 6 teams for the other half of the season.

TBC would be great if it were used in a country that was isolated and a you wanted to get two eps out of the same country. TBC just for name sake is not the worst thing, but not really exciting either.

TBC never returned on this series since season 11. Last season, there are only 11 single legs w/o TBCs in the episode ends.

That's the only annoying part, when they make you wait an EXTRA week. I don't mind the non-eliminations, and would prefer SOME of them to be in TBC format. Personally, if I were scheduling, the premiere and finale would be two-hour episodes (each with TBC/Non-Elims), with 12 teams, meaning only one non-elimination leg is required between Legs 2 and 11. Add a team, make a non-elim early... easy way to make it exciting later, and once that first team IS gone, then only two teams throughout...

TBC used to piss me off so bad, it's bullshit that I have to wait 2 weeks to see someone be eliminated, at least give me a 2 hour episode on that shit!

Hope it won't be gone. The production are just in dire need for some new and creative ways of doing it.

As far as watching goes, a TBC is exactly the same thing as a NEL. What the fuck are you losers talking about?

I would SO prefer TBC over NEL anyday. So much more fun. Even if they know its coming, they are still mad that they have to run an entire leg AGAIN. Plus I think it would help a bit with the bunching since they dont have the mandatory 12 hr stay.

They would have just been eliminated, I think.

The AR9 TBC was one that I thought wasn't too bad of an idea, since it was so early in the game. It may have been a bit premature to waste having a non-elimination leg that early (with the old NEL rules of stripping their money/possessions).

Gosh, I hope they never bring back this stupid TBC ever again.

There are always 13 legs. Just the first leg of the TBC stretch had a "virtual mat" (tm Phil) at the end of it. A leg by any other name is still a leg in my book.

Yep, if you count the TBC legs, there would be 13 'legs' with 'sets of tasks'. But what I meant was 13 legs with a REAL pitstop, with a mandatory rest period where teams could eat, sleep and mingle with...

I hope they don't bring it back next season. One of the most worthless twists ever.
