I really want to see the Alabama chair Roadblock from TAR 8 as a Switchback.
I have been to 63 countries. I have met Phil Keoghan, Jon Montgomery, Allan Wu, Elise and Bertram in person. I visited Joe & Bill in Hawaii, JK & Mike in Singapore, and Rovilson in Manila. I attended the TAR 28, 29, and 34 finales.

Not so fun fact: The chair is now owned by a local office furniture company as a two-vehicle parking canopy and they repainted it this putrid cement color.

Or it and TAR 22's leg 1 2nd Roadblock, when they had to find a clue in sandcastle can be combined into detour!

That's just too similar as a detour they have to be a bit different

I say...
TAR7 Leg 3 roadblock (eat four pounds of a traditional Argentinian feast)
TAR12 memory task  :hearts:
TAR16 Leg 5 detour (pigeon & morse code) + u-turn
TAR17 Leg 1 roadblock (watermelons) :hearts:
TAR20 Leg 3 detour (harp & watermelons) and roadblock (bottle dance)
TAR20 Leg 9 roadblock (Bollywood dancing)
TAR22 Leg 1 2nd roadblock (sandcastles) :hearts:
TAR22 Leg 7 detour (brains & brawn)

I'm pretty sure about the watermelon roadblock.
btw, is this a speculation thread or a wishlist?

omg I was such a baby that time but I was digging a few of my earliest messages and found this! It was that good to switchback huh!

TARA 1: Look for a tiny Surfboard in the sand, Caltex, India Dung Cakes, Sony

The Indian dung cakes task already appeared in Season 18, the Varanasi "Feed the Fire" detour.
