I want to see an Amazing Race with zero NELs. That would make a fine race, where every leg counts for sure and most teams have to be competing hard end to end. I discount the "getting-to-know" value of NELs, cdfe88. All NELs in Amazing Races (but not Amazing Race Asias) are positioned at or after the 6th leg, so you already know all remining teams well by then!
In conjunction with this I want to see 13 teams so there will be 11 legs or maybe 1 or 2 more teams and an equivalent number of extra legs.

I'd have to disagree. I'd rather have less teams and more NELs in order to get to know them better. What's the point of having that many teams if most of them will be forgotten once the real drama appears?

Exactly right! That's what has happened to teams like Anthony & Stephanie and Marianna & Julia in the recent seasons with poor editing balance.
I think there should be 11 or 12 teams, but the non-elims should be early in the race, so we get to the the early boot teams, too.
And of course, at least 12 legs! Are you listening, CBS? :waves:

11 or 12 teams is always good. I can't remember less than 11 besides the Family Edition but maybe it was in the All-Stars season too.
And CBS better be listening but I know they're prepping for BB11. :jumpy:

I highly doubt Nigeria will not be visited this season or next season! Nigeria has alot of problems right now and travel there is highly not recommended by the US State Dept, speaking of the State Dept, I think travel to Colombia is possible despite the travel warnings. Colombia is an US ally and travel is only dangerous if you venture outside the safe major cities like Bogota and Medellin. I think the State Dept travel warnings haven't been updated in a while. Also the fears about Swine Flu affecting the filming of TAR15 is highly impossible, as long as the teams, crew, and other people involved in the race follow health guidelines like washing their hands and sanitizing them, infection from Swine Flu is very unlikely to happen. My only wishlist for this season or next season is to visit newer countries and former countries, but newer areas within them like Sardinia in Italy, the Greek island of Crete, Wales/N. Ireland in the UK, Hainan/Wuhan in China. Even Lake Baikal in Siberia as well as Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. Also for teams I like to see a multiracial team (dating, married, best friends), as well as Native American, and Motorheads/Skatepunks. A new twist that could be cool if they introduce a new task choice like "Rewind" where a team has to return the beginning of the leg and do all the tasks again before continuing on. That would be cool to see as the opposite of "Fastforward" At least I am happy to hear about TAR16 has been given to go ahead.
