#tar14

Season 14 of The Amazing Race was for the girls and the gays

I love that almost half of the season 18 cast was from season 14 but aside from Jen and Kisha they were literally all eliminated first

TAR14 was...interesting. Other than a few memorable moments here and there, the season overall isn’t stellar imo but it’s still solidly good to watch. I think the thing that bothered me the most (but wasn’t that huge of a deal anyways) was the change in editing, just cause I was already so used to the older version (which I know is dumb since I’ve seen everything from TAR24 to TAR31 so I know it continues to change but still!). I didn’t like the lack of airport scenes...who’s idea was is to cut most of it out? :( The map they used to show where they were going was ugly and cheap too but anyways. Tammy & Victor I enjoy as winners because just like Nick & Starr, I could relate to them. I understood how Tammy felt like Victor wasn’t listening to her and I understood how Victor felt like he needed to be in control as a leader. They were a pretty strong team and watching them win was pretty satisfying. I found out people think the season was rigged for them because of the advantage they had in China, but...that’s just dumb imo, they earned their win. Jaime & Cara were both gorgeous and fun to watch, although they were pretty whiny in China. Margie & Luke I watched the first time on TAR24, and I found them to be sort of annoying due to how much Margie babies him, however watching their debut made me like them a bit. They were pretty strong too and overcame a lot as underdogs, which I love. However I felt conflicted in the infamous pushing with Kisha & Jen because Luke really did push Jen twice and they tried to act like they were innocent. Kisha & Jen didn’t seem like the aggressive type at all so idk why they would think Jen would do that. Then for Margie to bring up their race at the mat I- it was cringey just a bit. Kisha & Jen losing the race because Jen had to pee was iconic, I love them and can’t wait to see them on TAR18. Mark & Michael gaining like 29532 penalties for the dumbest things was hilarious, the underwear roadblock, cheese task, Amanda & Kris being U-Turned, Kisha & Jen at the restaurant detour, and Luke fumbling the final roadblock to allow both Victor AND Jaime to pass him were all great moments of the season.
