There should be some kind of downside to using the Express Pass. My fear with that is what if leg 2, one team uses their express pass, and then every other team in leg 3 uses their express passes on a roadblock, thus screwing over the team mentioned in leg two. Maybe like the next leg after they use their express pass, they have to do a speed bump? Something to balance the express pass and make teams genuinely debate if they should use it or limit its uses further like not being able to use them on detours with U-turn boards.
Now for place suggestions, I'd love to have a leg in Swaziland, even if it's like Botswana on the first season of the show where teams can choose to do a detour that takes them into that country while the rest of the leg is primarily in South Africa.

The first point you mentioned is quite interesting. I did not think about that. However, the EP is not a guarantee against finishing last, so the likelihood of that happening is low, unless the task is seriously difficult.
Two things to add to my wishlist
1. Scrap 1st leg eliminations. Let them race for at least 2 legs. For TAR33, the first London leg should have been a NEL or a KOR with sign-up sheets for the first task of Leg 2.
2. Scrap start line eliminations. Teams that finish last should either have a Speed Bump/Hazard (why even create a new term for something that's essentially the same) to complete or mark them for elimination on the first elimination leg.

Given the, uh, interesting, circumstances in which we live, here's my vaguely realistic take on TAR34-
START - Palm Springs, CA
LEG 1 - Galapagos Is., Ecuador
LEG 2 - Cuenca, Ecuador
LEG 3 - Halifax, Canada
LEG 4 - Magdalen Is., Canada
LEG 5 - Dublin, Ireland
LEG 6 - Toulouse, France
LEG 7 - Ondino, Andorra
LEG 8 - Barcelona, Spain
LEG 9 - Santa Maria, Cape Verde
LEG 10 - Praia, Cape Verde
LEG 11A/11B - Boston, MA / Berkshires region, MA
Most of these countries have relatively low infection and/or high vaccination rates and less restrictive conditions for entry :tup: The multiple new countries wasn't intentional but it worked out I suppose :jam:
