I found a tweet from someone who traveled with Phil yesterday. She was traveling from Spain to Washington DC. I'm not sure how that matches up with Phil's flights, but obviously it did.

Hi there!

I'm Jorge, from Spain. I'm not good with english, but i'll try to write good for being understood by all. I talk in english like Tarzán! hahah

I hope this season they will go to countries not visited yet, or been visited a few times (Portgual, Philppines, Laos, Nepal...) Obviously, not China, France, Japan, India...

I created my season. Maybe it have a lot of "ignored" countries, but i like.

1 – USA - CUBA -> From NY to La Habanna. A fall from a skyscraper in NY will be amazing. TAR was never to Cuba. (Americans cant go to Cuba)

2- CUBA – COSTA RICA -> Costa Rica is one of the most expected countries to see on the next season.

3- COSTA RICA – FIYI -> Oceania have more than Australia and NZ!

4 - FIYI – AUSTRALIA - PHILIPPINES -> Please, go Philippines.

5 -  PHILIPPINES – LAOS -> Laos, another beautiful country not visited yet.

6 – LAOS – NEPAL -> Like Laos.

7 – NEPAL – EGYPT -> A leg on the desert will be great, with pyramides, sphinx.. (Egypt is considered dangerous)

8 - EGYPT -> One leg for Africa is so poor.

9 – EGYPT – GREECE -> Greece is beautiful. They can go to Mykonos.

10 – GREECE – SPAIN -> I know Spain was visited on the 21st season, but it's my country, i want TAR go there. This time to Canary islands.

11 – SPAIN – PORTUGAL -> Portugal needs a visit.

12 – PORTUGAL – CANADÁ -> The semifinal.

13 – CANADÁ - USA -> The final in Alaska.

I think Africa need more legs too. There are so many countries in this continent are not visited yet.

Please, no more boys team winners. (I don't like Bates and Anthony from 22, sorry! )-**)

I'm so excited for spoiler from the next season, i love this reality show! :hearts:

Hi! I'm new here! I usually come here to just check up on amazing race spoilers, and I thought I might as well make an account :)
Haha anyway as tar 23 spec, what's the chance of this season starting or ending in Phoenix, AZ?
Also, as for actual countries visited, I think Poland, Portugal, and the Philippines are definitely up for re-visits, and I think we should keep our eyes peeled for new visits to Monaco & Bahamas.
Thanks!

LOL TAR23: P Edition

I would be delighted if these three countries get chosen for this season, it's been a LONG while since they appeared. Not sure about Monaco and Bahamas. Monaco implies a visit to France, which we recently had. I still expect a Nice-Monaco-Italian Alps visit for a TAR 24 or 25, BTW.


Haha I didn't even realize that! Lol that's pretty funny.
Anyway is it safe now to visit Kazakhstan? It would make my day if they visited Astana (coolest city ever). Adding on to my spec, if they don't go to Monaco, I'd say a new visit to Malta or the Italian island of Sardinia would be fantastic!

I always have trouble understanding why Monaco was never visited. It is LONG overdue.

Monaco is one of the priciest countries of the world. Although TAR has a somewhat large budget when compared to that of other reality television shows, they probably would rather not gamble half of their budget away in one Monaco leg (get the casino reference? :lol: ).

Are there any countries we absolutely know or can rule out that will not be visited in tar 23?

You never know, they could visit Iraqi Kurdistan, which is fairly safe :)
Haha no but really, are there any places we can rule out, besides countries like Switzerland or Russia that have been visited in the last few seasons?

I know it will never happen, but I think it would be really interesting if they devoted an entire season to cities and/or countries never visited before (besides the United States of course).

I'd love for Laos to be in TAR23's route, as my parents are from there.

This would make a great season 12-style race! :hearts: Oh yeah, and Americans can visit Cuba, just not use the US Dollar for currency there.

Well, we all know what is happening in Egypt right now. Cuba, too, is still on the watchlist. Though the Philippines is in the blacklist, I think TAR needs to visit it. I mean, Survivor made two seasons in here. why not TAR? which only visits the country during the exact race maybe in just 2-4 days? Is that FIYI? Or Fiji? I can't tell. Great list, btw.

It hasn't been 100% translated from Spanish, so FIYI = Fiji, and also the accent above the last A of Canada.

Why would TAR want to go to Monaco? What would they do there, even if they went?

Same here ;)
I'd also like to see a leg or two there with all 11 teams, since it hasn't been visited since 17 seasons ago. Sad to say but, it's in the travel warning's list.  :'(
