That was something that bugged the crap out of me the first few seasons. Then they either stopped doing it or stopped showing it but I didn't notice it this time. I'll have to rewatch. I thought that was so disrespectful.

I wish they would use velcro instead of the strips. That way they could recycle the envelopes.

The first season or two it was obvious that the tear strips were dropped to the ground. Then it stopped, and we all discussed the possibility that the teams were told not to litter. And I don't care if there is production staff to clean up after them or not... the perception is the racers do not care about respecting their location and are littering. That's enough to make me dislike someone, no matter what other charming attributes he/she may have.

Yes, I think I have seen something about casting for the next TAR as well. Can you believe that I have TWO different friends who have said how much they would like to race with me if I could pass the physical? Maybe I should introduce them to one another?

Now that is just wrong!!! I mean there are spoilers for Survivor, so no surprises, but what is happening with TAR? I read somewhere where they have a few extra racers to throw off spoilers?? oh well, I'll wait a week for some more TAR, but it wont be easy!! Are they going to Italy?

WOW.....all of my reality shows are ending....the funny thing is I feel kind of relieved. All I have left right now is TAR and Project Runway. It seems kind of weird. You know.....I was thinking about it, and I never imagined that I would ever get "sick of" reality TV, but I'm starting to get there. The Biggest Loser really turned me off this year with their consistent "2 HOUR EPISODES!". They kept doing the long episodes even when they had pared the players down to fit into 1 HOUR!!! It was just too much. The last couple of seasons of ANTM have been wearing on me. But this season was "the straw that broke the camel's back". I'm done. I cannot stand Tyra anymore (haven't been able to in a long while). I definitely will not be watching anymore seasons. Beauty and the Geek just got more gimicky and stupid this year with the "new twist". I just cannot deal with it anymore. Each year these shows go more and more down the crapper. Survivor, for me, is a toss up. Some years I love the players and challenges and other years it just SUCKS. So I will probably always check it out. I still enjoy Project Runway and Top Chef. Although I would agree that each year it becomes more about the "drama" than the competition, these two shows still seem to be a "cut above the rest". And of course, TAR still remains good. I think it has a lot to do with how the players leave the show. It's ALL based on their skills. This isn't too much of a "social" game (which we all know is the basis for most reality shows ). They need to navigate, communicate and perform well physically. I find it refreshing. I'm really wondering when the "Reality TV Era" will end. It will, won't it?? I'm looking forward to what will replace some of these horribly eroded shows. WOW...this post is so depressing. SORRY!! I just hate to turn on the TV and see 90% reality shows. Most are pathetic and it's just so overwhelming. I'm just finally feeling like I want something different. Thanks for listening to my rant!

I was thinking the same thing earlier today, Trueheart. Wondering when reality TV will run its course. Survivor isn't as exciting for me as it once was. Big Brother left a bad taste in my mouth this past season and I think opened the door for more of the same bad behavior we witnessed. I don't need to see that. Its not enjoyable to me. And The Bachelor? Another president set there where maybe there won't be a happy ending after all. Or at least the hope of. Amazing Race is my favorite, followed by Project Runway and Top Chef. I always look forward to seeing those shows week after week.

Yes, I have dropped off most of the reality shows. Got too inane to waste my time. But TAR never fails to deliver. There's still so much of the World left to explore. The fact that it's not up for anyone 'voting' like some popularity contest - just up to the teams to be able to run the course (and keep their donkeys/camels/whatever happy), is what makes it the best!

I agree, Biscottiii. There's nothing like having your camel happy.

Hey, just remembered... "and keep their donkeys/camels/OX happy, is what makes it the best!" Should never ever forget the "My OX is Broke!!!" screams.
