The only thing missing from this race is South America  :'(. But my favorite part about the race is that not every area is visited :hearts:. I know that sounds odd, but let me explain. Some season you get legs in the snow. Sometimes they are in a tropical area. They could be in cities, deserts, or even on a safari. But in my opinion, the fact you cant get them all is the beauty of the race, it would get too predictable to see the same things over and over again.

As you can probably guess, I hate 6 continent seasons (:;)

My complaint about the Botswana leg is what else is there to do other than take a safari? Wash local buses... go to indigenous villages (done in s20)... and visit Gaborone (city center)... I don't see much of an inspiration of a route there. :duno: May-B it's just me.

Second season in a row where an F/F [probably] goes far  :hearts:

Let's hope they're not too much like the "TWINNIES!"  :lol: (even though I like them)

Past history has a few firestorms of public protest when networks cut off football games before they were over. Especially when one team makes a last minute comeback to win. There are more people watching football than TAR. CBS is ticking off fewer people now. Also, it's only affecting the eastern half of the country. The west never has TAR delayed.

The west did have it delayed once, but it was due to Osama Bin Laden's death.

I  remember the "Heidi" game, but just show whatever game(s) that are in a region where people are actually interested in the game.

The television networks don't really have a choice. It is in the contract with the NFL. So blame them!

Say thank you.

It is GOOD for ratings, which is what keeps TAR alive!

Here is some information on Sunday "bonus coverage":

When a media market's regionally televised game ends before the others, the network (CBS or Fox) may switch to "bonus coverage" of the ending of another game. However, the league imposes two restrictions that are designed to maximize the ratings of the late games on the doubleheader network, which tend to record the most NFL viewers during the day, often beating the audience for Sunday night games.

First, bonus coverage offered after any early time slot games cannot be shown past the start of the late time slot (either 4:20 ET for the doubleheader network or 4:25 ET for the non-doubleheader network). This prevents people from continuing to watch the bonus coverage instead of seeing the beginning of the late doubleheader network's game (which is usually either their local team or the network's featured game). Again, the networks may show highlights of the game, and usually will at the earliest opportunity. The network broadcasting the single game will sometimes show each play as soon as it ends as part of its post-game show. A station originally getting the game featured during bonus coverage will stay with it unless they are leaving to show a local team.

Second, bonus coverage cannot be shown after a late game on the single-game network because it will run in opposition to the ending of the late doubleheader network's game(s) and NBC's pre-game show. However, the single-game network usually schedules most of its top games in the early 1:00 ET time slot (except for west coast teams' home games, and possibly either a Giants or Jets game), so this does not tend to be a major issue.

If the doubleheader network's games all finish before 7:30 ET, it is supposed to conclude the post-game show within 10 minutes to protect NBC's pre-game show. If any games finish after 7:30, the post-game program can run until 8:00 ET. However, this restriction seems to apply to game footage only; on several occasions Fox has run its post-game offering to 8:00, despite all games ending before 7:30, by airing only panel discussions and interviews in the latter portion of the show. On the other hand, CBS rarely airs any post-game show after its doubleheaders or 4:05 single-games. This is because 60 Minutes is one of its signature shows, and CBS makes every effort to start it as close to 7:00 or 7:30—its traditional airtime—as possible.


This does not appear to restrict CBS or FOX from providing bonus coverage on as many games as they elect to.

I have no idea if anyone has already addressed the issue, but: THEY CHOOSE THE EARTHQUAKE-RAVAGED CHRISTCHURCH OVER MELBOURNE?!?!?!?! Don't get me wrong I love New Zealand but I'm now actually convinced that they're never coming to Victoria; this is actually depressing for me
Furthermore, Indonesia 3 times in four seasons? And each time as an early country... I'm just not sure what to believe anymore

Guys, listen. Melbourne is a great place to live, probably the best in Australia, but if you want to design a leg in Metro Melbourne, you will find it very hard. The only way to get around this is go to Ballarat/Great Ocean Road/Phillip Island.

Bickering over which city is best implies that both cities are good but one is better. No one has even mentioned Sydney; these comments are just an outright hate attack on my entire state.
