Let me try... A leg in Marrakesh, Morocco. ;)
  • Starting Line: Mahkama du Pacha, Casablanca, Morocco
  • Route Info: Drive yourself to the city of Marrakesh! Once there, make your way to Souk Semmarine and search for your next clue in one of the spice store.
    *Note: In the store, other than receiving the clue, they will also receive a pack of spice mixture. Each team will get different spice mixtures.
  • Route Info: Drive yourself to Jemaa el-Fnaa and search for your next clue.
  • Roadblock: "Who's got great sense of smell and good taste bud?"
    One team member will be facing a large table with 100 Moroccan tajines. Then, that person has to smell and/or taste the dish and decide which one that has the spice mixture they just got as an ingredient of the dish. If they guess it correctly, they will receive the next clue.
  • Route Info: Drive yourself to Marrakesh Museum and search for your next clue.
  • Detour: "Shake" or "Swipe"
    - Shake: Teams have to learn how to perform belly dance. Once they have understand the basics, they have to perform it in front of the judges for 3 minutes in order to receive the next clue. If the judges are not happy with the dance, they have to learn the moves again.
    - Swipe: Teams have to learn how to perform Berber music, a traditional Moroccan music. What they have to do is they have to learn a full song together with a local band, with both team members have to play a local string instrument called Rebab. After they have mastered one full song, they have to perform it in front of the judges and get good response in order to receive the next clue.
  • Route Info: Drive yourself to the next Pit Stop, Bahia Palace! Warning! The last team to check-in here maybe eliminated.

But I wasn't making a fantasy game team list, I was wishing those types of teams and personalities were in one whole season. :duno: Just clarifying.

Countries "raced": Greece (2019), Italy (2017), Switzerland (2017), Taiwan (2016), U.S. (WA 2013, CA [S.F. 2014, L.A. 2023], TX 2021, IL all the time)

2 unique, memorable final RB ideas for the final leg:

ROADBLOCKS:
Firefighting training: "Who responds faster to the sound of alarm?" - One team member has to don extrication gear and ride their assigned fire truck to a burning, 3-story fire training warehouse (three buildings spread out around the city area). Once there, they had to put on oxygen tanks & safety gear and climb the truck ladder up to the third floor. Gradually clearing the burning flames and embers, team members must cautiously walk through the smoldering warehouse down to ground level where they have to rescue a mannequin dressed as a firefighter. Smashing through the wooden door with a sledgehammer or an axe, teams must drag the mannequin out to finish the task. Team members must complete this task in less than 15 min. to receive their next (final) clue or suffer a 10 sec. penalty for every second passed the 15 min. mark. :hearts:

Another Los Angeles game show: "Who is crafty and smart?" - One team member has to participate in a game show called Household Chores. Each team member must complete a series of specified task in a 2-story "house" while answering eight problems about the race incorporated into the game. Here is an example:
ROOM 1 (Upstairs bedroom)- Which blanket was featured at the Moroccan Pit Stop? (Blanket A, Blanket B, Blanket C) The correct one needs to be laid on the bed properly to unlock room 2
ROOM 2 (Bathroom)- How many bars of soap were shown in the carving model in Istanbul? Place the same amount on the soap dish to unlock room 3
ROOM 3 (Game room)- Roll the correct billiard ball number into the far-right pocket to answer which leg they visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa to unlock room 4
ROOM 4 (Book room)- Select the geography book providing the title of which country was visited 2nd, on the last page, there will be a key to unlock the spiral staircase to the patio
ROOM 5 (Patio)- Insert the umbrella into the table which pattern was used as an example in the fabric sewing Roadblock in Turkey to unlock room 6
ROOM 6 (Dining room)- Which country invited you to a party? Consume the bowl of soup that the bowl color corresponds to the country's flag colors (think party invitation).
ROOM 7 (Master bedroom)- Frame the photo which a clue stated this location as, "romantic and breathtaking". After framing it onto the wall, the final room will unlock.
ROOM 8 (Living room)- Insert the DVD into the VCR that will appear with the question presented on the top of the screen. Use the remote control to answer which team was eliminated third which will activate a buzzer outside the "house" and unlock the final door.
FRONT PORCH- Ring the buzzer to lock in the time

If team members finish the course in less than 10 min., teams will receive their final clue. A redo will be completed if teams don't finish before 10 min. :umn:

I'd love it if someone from a foreign version, host or team, appeared in the US version (or even the other way around), kind of like Allen Wu in Season 16.


Come on, WRP, make it happen!  :)
