Season 27!
Starting Line: Los Angeles, CA ( (:;) as much as I hate to say it the LA starts are strategic since LAX is such a big airport)
Leg 1: Santiago & Valparaiso, CHILE (They just went there in season 23, but this time they should focus on the modern and urban centers of this up-and-coming nation!)
Leg 2: Antuco, CHILE (A ski resort town about 300 miles south of Santiago. A good leg for the stereotypical "South American wilderness" leg)
Leg 3: Sucre, BOLIVIA (The last time they went to Bolivia was in season 13, so it's long overdue. Plus the beautiful city coupled with the elevation would be just amazing.)
Leg 4: Potosi & Uyuni, BOLIVIA (A visit to the Salar de Uyuni. 'Nuff said)
Leg 5: Dublin, IRELAND (One of the few remaining cities in Europe that is unvisited, and Ireland itself has only been visited once. Also, I've personally been to Dublin and I can attest that it is absolutely stunning!)
Leg 6: Prague, CZECH REPUBLIC (Another undervisited country, as well as another gorgeous city)
Leg 7: Kutna Hora, CZECH REPUBLIC (In the Bohemian countryside. A visit to the Church of Bones and the nearby palace at Nove Dvory would be stunning!)
Leg 8: Larnaca, CYPRUS (A very safe Mediterranean country that has never been visited! Great opportunities for scuba diving challenges and ancient history reenactments (Othello anyone? :funny: )
Leg 9: Kolkata, INDIA (Stereotypical leg in India, which hasn't been visited since Season 20!)
Leg 10: Darjeeling, INDIA (Northern highlands of India. A nice change of scenery since India is normally pictured as the urban cluster of poverty)
Leg 11: Taipei, TAIWAN (Typical East Asian penultimate urban leg)
Leg 12: Seattle, WA (Awesome city if I may add. It deserves a full leg!)

How would one dodge the various issues of the world this summer for TAR 27? Maybe:
START: Chicago, Illinois - whee not LA! You know what this means...
Leg 1: US to Xi'an, China - so the lock task was ~iconic~ but was limited by the hours operation and the fact that the Detour was generic and not actually a Detour. Cultural tasks plus lock task starting earlier in the day ensures there are meltdowns without multiple teams being thrown out of contention.
Leg 2: China to Rangali Island, Maldives - or more accurately, UNDER Rangali Island at the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant and were I not on my phone I'd show a link but it is preeeety cool.
Leg 3: Maldives to Ein Gedi, Israel - so the MERS outbreak makes it less than the usual amounts of desirable to go to the various countries that have Issues with Israel so we might as well go now yay!
Leg 4: Israel to Tel Aviv, Israel - it's weird, most legs in the Middle East devolve into legs based on nomadic culture, the desert in general (incl. camels) or ridiculous artifice (UAE legs) - this might be the first modern legin the region we get since...ever?
Leg 5: Israel to Sibiu, Romania - remeber that time we went to Romania and the leg reinforced a lot of stereotypes, from the lame to the offensive, and then it was overshadowed by Victor being a drama queen and a ridiculously obvious elimination? Good times right?
Leg 6: Israel to Grand Comore, Comoros - so while this is a not-so-obvious candidate for your annual 'look at these poor people' leg really I'm just here for the Livingstone bat.
Leg 7: Comoros to Menabe, Madagascar - really the leg centers around Morondava and the various animals that live near there but the Avenue of the Babosas sort of demands a Pit Stop.
Leg 8: Madagascar to Bloemfontein, South Africa - at first I was against the notion of spending so much time in southern Africa but I literally just saw a post on tumblr pimping it out and was all 'why not both *insert Hispanic child*?'
Leg 9: South Africa to Vienna, Austria and Bratislava, Slovakia - I really like the structure of the France/Monaco leg aside from the roulette wheel and so I think having that again, except this time ignoring self-driving in favor of forcing teams to decide how to get into and out of Slovakia (bus, train, taxi, etc) would be fun no?
Leg 10: Slovakia to Riga, Latvia - Lithuania + Estonia + Latvia = Baltics and 12 + 15 = 27 so it's perfect.
Leg 11: Latvia to Skogafoss waterfall, Iceland - if we're still doing this whole 'the final leg starts now so this physically demanding leg had not purpose' thing then this should be perfect with the driving around and various physical challenges and whatnot. If not, then it makes a good car leg and another homage to TAR 6.
Leg 12: Iceland to Cleveland, Ohio - aaaand another not-LA finish! kind of random Final City but populationwise it's within spitting distance of Atlanta and Miami PLUS there's a bunch of cool things to do, like a sport task which is culturally relevant for reasons beyond being able to rent out a stadium for a few hours or any task concerning rock and roll or golf or amusement parks. Best part is that any flight from Europe would get in in the afternoon, leading to a nighttime finish <3
I can see someone crow about budget what with 11 countries and all but most of them are off the beaten path and Iceland was saved for the endgame so it works out yay
