I thought given the season (holiday) it might be beneficial for us to consider the positive or uplifting aspects in this TAR. Please keep away from ifs, ands, or buts.

I would like to start with how I appreciated seeing Don and Mary Jean being so supportive and loving of one another. They knew how difficult the race was going to be and never gave up.

I am really liking the growing bond between father and daughter. I got the impression, when they began this race, that they were not connecting well. As they progress through the challenges they are showing a genuine love and respect towards each other. It is almost as if they are "discovering" each other and really appreciating who the other one is.

I also like the maturity and genuine, likable qualities in the couple who date long distance (their names escape me at the moment). They are pleasant and seem to be enjoying each other and the race.

Thanks for the opportunity to say something positive Ar_jammer. Sometimes it's too easy to look at all the negative stuff and that just brings you down.
Have a great holiday!

I just love all of the locations they have gone to this year. Very interesting and also scenic.

I also like jammer's links after each episode. To me the locations and the challenges are what makes Amazing Race great!

Darn it, Marm! I was coming here to say exactly what you said - although I probably wouldn't have said it as well!

My favorite thing in this AR is the fact they are showing more of each location. The places are beautiful. Vicarious enjoyment of travel is enough for me.

Love to learn about places I have never been to (and those I have). Wish they'd show more of them. The teams are secondary to me.

I've really started to enjoy watching Gus and Hera. I like his calm approach, even when they weren't doing well on a couple of the early legs. They seem to take time to enjoy the journey as well as the race. I was glad that he didn't tell <MG> the simple truth about using a travel agent to get tickets.

I love Kris & Jon and Gus & Hera. I would be fine with either team winning!

Gus and Hera - I didn't think that I would like them at all at first and it turns out that IMO they are one of the best things about this season. Kris & Jon are another absolutely classy couple.

I love this show. The excitement of the competition, the interaction of the couples, the places that they go to are interesting and the overall production is first rate!

I loved watching an older woman like Mary Jean be more successful at a physically challenging roadblock, like the one where they had to lift and carry heavy baskets of rice, then a younger guy was who has a personal trainer back home.

What I like about THIS season of AR is that there are some really seemingly nice people casted (who barely balance out the seemingly harsh couples).

The editing seems to be less choppy than last season and we are being shown more beautiful scenery and touristy stuff.

I also like that there are a few regular looking- averagejoe types casted.

The only improvement to this show could be the inclusion of some older more athletic couples/friends. Bolo and his wife are a good example of older and in great shape.

I must have missed the rice challenges...however, MJ really was great at the salt challenge.

I think the icky food challenge is next show.

It's that day again... strange how even a week "off", even though there were recaps, brings the show off the boil. No doubt tonight will get me excited again.

I love this show and can't wait from week to week to go on another trip. I like the Father Daughter couple they are really enjoying the locations that they are sharing.

I love Jon and Kris. I think they are playing in the true spirit of sportsmanship and really enjoying the whole thing. It's so refreshing instead of all the other nagging and screaming.
