Need race  couser with 2 legs in south America  4 eroupe leg 3 asia 2 legs in austrillia

Ah! Thank goodness there's more freedom. :yess: :hoot:

Leg 1 Hilo, Hawaii, USA --> Tasmania, Australia F11, EL
Leg 2 Tasmania, Australia --> Uluru, Australia F10, NEL
Leg 3 Uluru, Australia --> Palawan, Philippines F10, EL
Leg 4 Palawan, Philppines --> Male, Maldives F9, EL
Leg 5 Male, Maldives --> Doha, Qatar F8, EL
Leg 6 Doha, Qatar --> Riga, Latvia F7, NEL
Leg 7 Riga, Latvia --> Zagreb, Croatia F7, EL
Leg 8 Zagreb, Croatia --> Bratislava, Slovakia F6, NEL
Leg 9 Bratislava, Slovakia --> Lisbon, Portugal F6, EL
Leg 10 Lisbon, Portugal --> Ushuaia, Argentina F5, NEL
Leg 11 Ushuaia, Argentina --> Caracas, Venezuela F5, EL
Leg 12 Caracas, Venezuela --> San Diego, California, USA F4, MPE

I decided to try out the table for the first time, so it might look different from usual, but I think it's a neat way to do stuff like these. Also, I didn't do extra research on maps and other cities since I'm typing these on my phone.

I would love a season where ALL the teams look like boot fodder :lol:

It would be unpredictable for sure!

Would a detour leg be possible (teams choose to go to one country/city or another, and complete different tasks there)? If so, could someone make up one??

The wish that I have that is closest to this is what I will call the junction. A co-host is present in this imaginary race.

Let's say 10 teams are racing, and just at the first cluebox, there will be 2 sets of clues randomly placed in the clue envelopes.
Some teams will be told to go to location A where they will get the roadblock clue. The others will get the clue telling them to go to location B, where roadblock B is. After the roadblock, there will be 2 different sets of detours as well. After the detours are 2 different pit stops. Each team placement depends on the check-in time, so a team who checks in first at a certain pit stop may not necessarily win while a team who checks in last at a pit stop may not necessarily be eliminated.

It's a wish for me in a way, but one problem I can see is that Phil doesn't have and won't need a co-host, and there would be so much unnecessary work needed to be done just for this.

I believe HMLM had split legs however since they air their legs over multiple days they simply showed half the field complete their tasks then together half complete THEIR tasks, with a teams eliminated at each half.

Also if you're the kind of person who likes vague guidelines then here are more:
1) start and end in the US
2) 3 countries not visited in US TAR before (up to 27)
3) 2 countries from here

;)

Alright, i added roadblocks/detours now for my previous post :yess: (but between you and me, it's just the first 4 legs)
Leg 1: Detour: Slider (Perform in a tuk tuk band) or Sugar (Make an x amount of sugar from sugarcane)
Leg 2: Roadblock: Cut, cook and eat camel meat. Detour: Arts (Teams have to follow instructions in Arabic to deliver paintings supplies to a story, they must then do the same thing, but instead deliver a painting to a client) or Crafts (Teams must help to make 3 pairs of shoes for the store clerk. What shoe it is will be determined by choice on arrival)
Leg 3: Roadblock: Must shoot an arrow from a specific distance in a medieval castle. Detour: Armor (Must properly clean armor at a museum from the medieval times correctly) or Farmer (Fill two baskets with spices at a local farm, only 4 teams allowed)
Leg 4: Roadblock: Must run around the track at Cairo International Stadium, along the way seeing different dates. After finishing one lap, they must guess which date represents the must recent win for Egypt in the African Cup of Nations [2010]. If wrong, they must run another lap. Breaks are allowed. Detour: Old (Traverse through ancient ruins, looking for their next clue) or Bold (Motorbike through the desert to an oasis where they must transport two jugs of water back. If a jug is broken/lost/empty, they must head back)
Again any feedback is helpful

What if there was a college special for the Amazing Race where 11 colleges from all over the country have 1 student and 1 professor work together on the amazing race. I'm not talking about Ivy League schools, but more like small-medium colleges like University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. The winning school is consider The Amazing College.

I like the idea, but don't make all the teams professor-student. Get some siblings, couples, and other mixes.

Also, this will be another themed season, so even if I like the idea, I might not like it happening. ???

Yeah, I guess it should have more than just professor/student relationships. Maybe have it be 32nd, 33rd season?

If time travel is possible…

Leg 1:(Present) USA(Aztec) Mexico
Leg 2:(Aztec) Mexico(Mayan) Central America
Leg 3:(Mayan) Central America(Prehistoric) South America + Africa
Leg 4:(Prehistoric) South America + Africa(Pre-colonial) Africa
Leg 5:(Pre-colonial) Africa(Ancient) Egypt
Leg 6:(Ancient) Egypt(Pre-colonial) India
Leg 7:(Pre-colonial) India(Qin Dynasty) China
Leg 8:(Qin Dynasty) China(Far Future) Japan
Leg 9:(Far Future) Japan(Roman Empire) Italy
Leg 10:(Roman Empire) Italy(802,701 AD) UK ;)
Leg 11:(802,701 AD) UK(circa 9600 BC) Atlantis (assume near Atlantic Ocean)

I know all or most are dangerous, or some of which I can't even prove if they really exist or not, but this is just a fantasy route wish I made up if time travel is possible. Of course I doubt this happened too, otherwise we'd have Egyptian artifacts of clueboxes, Chinese artifacts of clue envelopes, etc. :funny: Sorry if this was all weird. I'm still in a SciFi-TimeTravel hangover from last week. :colors

Two seasons are usually recorded in a year, as long as the show maintains popularity for 2-3 more years, it is possible.
