L.A. is definitely gonna be visited. :funny: That would either be the starting line or the finish line.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm on TAR. I would love a non-LA start and a non-LA finish, but TPTB aren't going to read this post any time soon and make my wish come true.

Oh guess I agree! I'm getting sick of LA stars!

I LOVE LA START

LA has been beaten to death. I know it's a big city, but there are so many other cities in the US that haven't been visited yet. Give them some love, first.

I think they should set up the starting line at your house

Tbh I don't mind LA starts, because it's just a startling line, you start at a place maybe do a small,task then go to the airport, I'd rather they go to more new places for final legs, some seasons they're good at this, and some they're not  :funny:.

I agree to this. ^

100% agree with this. Also worth to note that the post-TAR12 been always either (LA Start with Non-LA Finish) or (Non-LA Start with LA Finish). Obviously the Non-LA Start with Non-LA Finish was better but we know it won't happen so I take the former option since it can bring possibilities to the new final destination cities. I think it's time to have the Northwest Pacific finish, non-Nevada/LV mountain states finish or even a Hawaii finish since we get East Coast finish in 21/22/27, Alaska finish in 23, LV finish in 24, West Coast finish in 25/28, Southern finish in 26, and Midwest finish in 29. :lol:

Not yet. It totally depends on what happens with 29.

With respect to the start/end cities, one of them is going to be Los Angeles. I mean that's a given. The last time The Race didn't visit Los Angeles was season 11, and the last time The Race didn't visit California was season 10. LAX is a massive airports with flights to all continents (save for Africa), so Season 30 will likely start in Los Angeles. As for the finish line, that's a toss-up. Season 29's Chicago finish line was the first visit to Chicago in 23 seasons. If another city that hasn't been visited in awhile (more than 10 seasons ago) is used in Season 30, I think we can reasonably expect Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, (unfortunately) Phoenix, or Denver. While there is always a possibility that they will end in a city that has never been visited, the last time this happened was in Season 19, so I think it is unlikely. I also think east coast cities that have never had a finish line like Philadelphia and Boston would be great!

I support this idea, especially if they're going to drop a finish line in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic corridor.

I totally agree with you Brannock. LA will get another start (has a been the meme since Season 15 *yawn*)

I don't think that Seattle or Portland will get a Finish Line, purely because well, have they either ever had a Start/Finish Line?

San Franciso is a big maybe, but would TAR had both the Start and Finish Lines in California? I don't think that would please the TAR viewers.

Boston and Philadelphia sound GREAT places for Finish Lines and I don't see how TAR can't place them there!

Seattle was the finish line for TAR 3. Portland was the finish line for TAR 13 (notorious for word getting out and the public flocking to the locations - it may be a long time before TAR returns there).

TAR 16 started in Los Angeles and ended in San Francisco. Also, TAR 15 started in Los Angeles and ended in Las Vegas, which is even closer than San Francisco. TAR 4 started in Los Angeles and ended in Phoenix, which is probably about the same distance as San Francisco.

It's not a finish line, but Boston (actually Gloucester) was the starting line for TAR 17.

Plaidmoon, I still don't think that Seattle or Portland will get a Finish Line in TAR 30. It would be NICE to see both of those cities featured in TAR 30 and 31, to refresh the scenery of two, very nice American cities.

It's really lots of opinion there. We won't have a Pacific Northwest finish due to its winter season. Some Southern cities haven't hosted a finish line before: Charlotte (North Carolina), Houston (Texas) or New Orleans (Louisiana). Those three cities are warm and mild during winter.

Who says this season's going to be filmed in the winter? 29 is still waiting a premiere date.

Depending on when we get 29, 30 could well film before.

Yeah you're right Plaidmoon. Both Phoenix and San Francisco are about six hour drives away from Los Angeles.

In previous seasons, TAR have started to film their second season of the year by now?

Any more news on Season 30?

Still no details yet unless we will need to get the premiere date for TAR 29.

I think the film date for TAR 30 will be started by first weekend of January 2017.

Would you like to provide some facts to support this?

You cannot prove or support that Bourkie. Please use "in my opinion" when you have NO facts to back up your statement.
