^that's a good read DavidJunior.

Here's my two cents too :) for season 20
11 teams in 12 legs. 1 super leg which is a double length leg in 2 episodes.


Leg 1: Miami Beach, USA -  Barbados
First task in the starting line. Last 2 teams to finish will receive "wrong way" penalty.
The "wrong way" will require the team to take a farther/longer destination route info to retrieve their next clue. This could be seen next to the first route info clue box.
We haven't seen so much of Caribbean yet. It would be great to start off the race with teams on their skimpy clothes  :-[

Leg 2: Barbados - Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago (NEL)
Another spicy tropical lush destination. Teams will swim, hike, run & dive their way to finish line.

Leg 3: Trinidad & Tobago - Colonia, Uruguay
Colonia, a renowned UNESCO heritage city. The nostalgia of Old Spanish colony town. Roadblock happens in Montevideo but Detour and Finish Line is at Colonia.

Leg 4: Uruguay - Luanda, Angola
Immersing the teams in the congested streets of Luanda would be interesting. A city of 5 million people. All tasks will be inspired from the local's entertainment or leisure life in the city. In this leg, instead of a roadblock teams will perform "Dine in", a task which one team member must eat a local Angolan delicacy.

Leg 5: Luanda - Malanje, Angola
From the congested city, teams will travel to the lush less populated rainforests of Angola. Where trees and animal population is greater than the human. A physically exhausting roadblock that deals with jungle task will surprise our teams. Fast Forward also present in this leg.

Leg 6: Angola - Edinburgh, Scotland (NEL - double length)
The first part of the super leg or double length leg. In Scotland, teams will perform a road block and a mini task. No finish line in this leg.

Leg 7: Scotland - Manchester, England
In part 2. Teams will travel by car to Manchester. Hoping themselves not to get lost in their way. Another mini task and a detour exist in the leg. Double U-Turn is present in the race. Finish line in this leg.

Leg 8: England - Belgrade, Serbia
From stunning Belgrade, teams will have a long travel to the classical Subotica, Serbia.

Leg 9: Serbia - Doha, Qatar
The hot Sun scorches from above of Doha. Souq, camels, deserts are always a great combination.

Leg 10: Qatar - Kochi, India (NEL)
It would be nice to see India from a different view. A fishing and coastal city but still with the crazy fun Indian atmosphere.

Leg 11: India - Sapporo, Japan
Japan is wonderful all year round. But Sapporo is even more wonderful during winter. White snows covering the city, and as early as December you may see ice sculptures for the preparation of the Yuki Matsuri or Snow Festival. And to add more drama for the revelation of final 3, a double U-turn will be present in this leg.

Leg 12: Japan - Las Vegas, USA
The ultimate finish line. Teams will gamble their way to be the winner. Only teams brave enough to take risk shall win.

Continents visited: 5
Countries visited: 9 (excluding USA)
New countries visited: 5 (Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Angola, Serbia & Qatar)
New twists: Wrong way & Dine in

Speed bumps still exists after NEL legs. And since it's season 20, one of the prizes in the legs will be $20,000 for each team member who'll come first.

Katarzyna, I'm impressed with your route. It has all the elements I want to see in a season (island, congested nation, colonial place, Arab World, European city, and snow). Good job!

Teams -  I think we need less dating teams and more family teams, eg. Auntie and Niece, Grandpa and Grandson. We also need a team like Anne-Marie and Tracy in every season, a team who can just laugh at themselves.

Route - Italy, Philippines, Finland and Ukraine are WAY overdue. I'd like to see more of Mongolia and Kazakhstan as well, maybe even a trip to Kyrgyzstan. We also need to see Cyprus and Latvia.

Other stuff - Bring back the yield, and maybe even bring in the blind or double yield. Instead of just one fast forward, maybe two or three, and there should be an intersection at least once per season.

I think we may pick up the idea of "Clue Analysis" (like The Mole S5, http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15540.0.html) as a way to discuss spoilers. :lol:

The type of teams I want to see: Uncle & Nephew or a relation like that, and a male/female friend team. Has there even been one since season 3?

In season 12, there was Ari and Staella. They were a male/female friend team. However, they were booted in leg 1. I agree with you though. There should be more friend teams.

I don't think they'll gamble and go to the Philippines, which I really hope they visit again.
The US travel government still has travel alerts against the Philippines. And especially now, an Italian priest has been killed
and the local rebels are attacking again.
Hoping for more of Eastern Europe though. And Middle East.
Oh Brian, I can't wait til after dinner. Cos then we'll go home and you can watch me have my period.

My race route would start at Venice, LA (the mouth of the Mississippi River) and end at St. Croix state park just north of Minneapolis/St. Paul (the start of the Mississippi River).

As for twists, the one twist I'd love to see is simple.  Treat the "Fast Pass" like they treat the hidden idol on Survivor.  If it's used, it should be added to whatever prizes are given at the end of the next leg (or even better--the current leg).  So, if you use the Fast Pass, you have to take into consideration that someone else will get it.
