Having double Indonesia again is disappointing.
But have you ever seen the "same" part of Indonesia every time they went here? ;) ;) ;)

You are right, but its the same country and for the third season out of five they are having two legs in Indonesia. They risk overdoing it.

Maybe that's because the production is cutting the budget (am I right), and travelling in Indonesia for foreigners (especially within Java) is pretty cheap, y'know. ;) But I agree that they should take a rest in visiting Indonesia for a couple of seasons, but then go to other places in Indonesia like Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, or even Papua! :)

I'd be disappointed if the final leg was in San fransisco. I feel like that area has been the location for the finale numerous times over the years. Wouldn't mind Seattle but at the same time I wouldn't be trilled.
I wouldn't be disappointed for SanFran again. TAR2 featured some decent sites and Sausalito which was okay. TAR11's feature was mostly in the city core of SF. TAR16's finale made me want to barsh (barf & blush), not only to the win, but the Star Wars, Coit Tower rappelling, and psychedelic posters theatre crap was embarrassing for S.F. A childhood friend I have living in West San Francisco watched the finale and told me how disgusted she was of seeing "her" city being featured poorly. I mean, SF has SO MANY amazing sites like the Embarcadero St. (Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Ferry Building Marketplace), Alcatraz, Chinatown (origin of fortune cookies), the infamous trolleycars, so much history. It's a deep shame they couldn't feature any of it. :( I would feel sorry since I used to live in San Francisco for 10 years as a newborn to kid before moving to Chicago.

Not too mention there are plenty of great places just North, South, and East of San Fran that could host tasks and/or the finish line (Napa Valley, Oakland Hills, Silicon Valley, etc)

They've just about exhausted all of the major cities on or near both coasts since TAR 13; and the finish lines from other seasons have included Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Chicago.
St. Louis, Houston, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Nashville, (and Philadelphia near the east coast) are all areas that have not hosted either a start or finish line and are overdue.

If they're in Phoenix I'll try and spy on them, but if I don't I'll blame the 119 degree heat D:<

What if this season is in the west, but somewhere they've never gone- Salt Lake City, Idaho, or maybe even Wyoming or Montana. I'm still waiting for a finish line in Yellowstone or Glacier national park :)

I'm at the ready!

If you need me to get to SFO, try and give me some advanced notice... it takes a while to get up there, especially if it's during rush hour traffic...

Go watch TAR18 if you want Miami, they won't be going for a while now

As for the others, well, it's when TPTB feels it's time to visit them

THIS! I understand that Abu Dubai is something new and we haven't been to the UAE in 8 seasons but I would really, really want to see a leg or 2 in Doha/Qatar!

Sigh. So probably the brunettes got 6th at best and the blondes in 5th. That's great I guess. Sigh..
