Not enough of Phil during the first season but you knew if someone was going to be elimated during the show because he told us. Phil now says the word "may" and we see him with every team as they arrive not so during TAR1. They also wisk the teams away now and we don't get to see the interaction between the people when the last to arrive is eliminated. I loved that. The first 3 episodes were a little choppy but they got into the swing of things as they went along and the rest of season 1 is great.

I still can't get over how tough the teams were in Season 1. I didn't recall that aggressiveness and competitiveness. The Guido's were a great team. Like them or not they have to be one of the most relaxed and competent teams to ever play TAR.

Ohhh I do. Season seven they thought Rob was aggressive but I never thought he was as bad as some of the past teams which we will see as the summer progresses. Guido's are now a likable couple because they redeemed themselves by answering peoples questions about the race. Kevin and Drew also do.

I always love Team Guido and could never figure out why people disliked them so much...

Well, I can't stand them...they are so arrogant and so assured of their own greatness...it drives me crazy! I also just cracked up at their "spin" on the incident where they tried to block the other teams from getting onto the airplane...I couldn't believe that they tried to make it look like they were innocent when they clearly had stated they were going to block them before they did it...ahhh, the innocence of early reality television - forgetting that the cameras catch almost everything. I'm sure they have redeemed themselves but just watching them for the first time they are truly annoying. Rob and Brennan - man, that Rob is a cutie!

i can hardly wait to see the TAR with the legal eagles, neither one of whom learned to drive a stick-shift before going on this race..."'that's all i'm sayin'"..... but it's worth a good laugh! were they on the 3rd TAR? i saw every epi of every TAR but one, and i plan to catch it this time around! i am so glad that those who missed all the TAR's the first time around get to see them all, in order, and all done right in a row. now, that would make it seem like a 'race'...to see all the episodes in a row, night after night.

I had forgotten how incredibly nice the older couple were on the first TAR. They treated each other with such love and respect - it was nice to see for a change.

I was so annoyed with Team Guido last night! I thought it was really disrespectful of them to try to sneak into the Taj Mahal without paying. I really hope they don't win!!! I understand it's a race and they have limited funds, but this sort of thing is what make other countries think of us as "ugly americans". I'm loving the best friend frat brothers. They are down to earth and were so nice with the people on the train last night. I'm really glad I didn't start watching until Season 5. Now I get my AR fix every night!

I'm a late starter to TAR, only watched the last two seasons (no NHL forced me to try all kinds of different shows), and I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far. I'm not allowing myself to look up archived info, so were the Guido's always bad? lol And from what I've seen, the separated couple show me why they're separated. Thanks, GSN! And thanks to any here who will post throughout! Gives me a reason to stay away from BB6.

Even tho I have seen the season already I am totally enjoying it...I don't remember who goes when so the end I am like ohhhhh yeahhhh now I remember...but the episodes are so good!! You can see how they made changes from season to season...One thing I miss are the cryptic clues, now they are just too easy. Couldn't you just see Rob and Amber trying to figure out what the flag was??

This was the only race before 9/11 and they showed 2 episodes then pulled it till January I think. They got off to a bad start getting an audience. Aiport travel is different now and they do have to think about their safety. I love being able to see the show again each night and not waiting for a week. If you noticed after the alleged shoving incident the Guido's were shunned while at the pit stop but they are pretty good racers and tried to make it up to Nancy and Emily at the FF. Every season has its evil team but they are a club unto themselves and most keep in touch after a few years go by and the bitterness subsides.

I am having the best time watching this. I would love to have a follow up show to let us know what is going on with the teams after 5 years.

Loved tonights show as I had just been to China the year before. Very happy memories and climbing the wall is hard work. Was not happy that Kevin and Drew were not in the finals because they made me laugh all the time.

So much for trying to catch the episodes of season 1 that I missed the first time around, I fell asleep right after I turned it on last night and missed the finale! I love this show, though it is hard for me to remember that it is on every night! LOL (okay where did I put my ginko?)

Nancy and Emily have faded back to real life. Kevin was married last year on valentines day. Margarita had another baby July 2004 and she and Frank are still together. The frats try to make the rounds every year at post party's for every season and so do Rob and Brennan and the Guidos. Every season people say their season is the best but as far as I'm concerned none of them can touch TAR 1. TAR does progress in the filming and we will get to see more of Phil but not in season 2. I love being able to see this every night.

TAR has their act together in season 2. They found a way for Phil to meet every team. Phil has lighter hair and a new cut. They now have their mat instead of that nasty different one in season 1. The racers have a TAR pouch to keep their clues in. The color of the flags are red and yellow instead of yellow and white during season 1. They will change the color of the flags a few times due to it being the host country flag colors.

Csnog -- you forgot to add that having their act together for season 2 includes the CHA CHAS!!!! Other than Kevin and Drew, these 2 were my all time favorite to watch. I always have favorites that I root for to win, and I didn't even really care if Cha Chas's won -- I just LOVED watching them.
