Problem with your leg Rachel is

1. Unless one team has a major meltdown with heights (unlikely!), the zipline task is still linear (even with multiple ziplines)
2. Do you realize that Connor is a professional cyclist (cycles for Team Armstrong and if I remember correctly Dave is ex-pro or semi-pro), and they can out-cycle the other teams??

1. Yes, the zip-lining is a linear task, but it's not the last task of the race so teams still have a chance to catch up because teams will have to struggle at the final/memory task. :) Remember the Portland zipline in TAR13?
2. Since the final Leg is originally set at night, it certainly won't guarantee Dave & Connor would win because Bootleg Canyon has no light source when it gets dark. Plus, pro cyclists, current and former, pedal on flat surfaces during races. Bootleg Canyon's terrain is:

What do you mean budget? I don't think Nepal is expensive. I assume there is another reason that makes it hard for TAR to go there. Also, they don't need to go to Mount Everest, this is not the only destination in the entire country

I love the TARSA idea, but I feel like teams could easily drive from Mendoza to Santiago. Unless you want an equalizer.

Initially, I felt the self-drive to Santiago could have been great with an Andes Mountain task or two, but I thought a Leg in Valparaíso would have been better.

I'd like the US version of the show to include some Latinos. Seems like it's a large segment of the US population but under-represented on TV.

I wish for a hilarious and competitive Peggy & Claire soon! :luvya: The closest to that I've seen in recent seasons would be Jody. It's about time to cast another pair of gutsy grannies. They would definitely make the next all-stars season if they pass Leg 5.

I'd love another Latin team on the Race again. The most recent pair of Latinos/as I can think is Marianna & Julia from TAR12.
