Great to have you here Tanukigirl. Welcome.

Given the excess of Europe over the past two seasons (10 legs in 33 and what appears to be 8 legs in 34), I have come up with some routes for 35 and 36 that feature countries mainly outside of Europe that they have wanted to visit in recent times and all with the ability to fly from point A to point B in under 3,200 nautical miles (which it has been alleged is the furthest the 757 from Titan Airlines can fly to).

Season 35 - filming November-December 2022

Travels to Oceania and Asia.

1. Suva, Fiji (from LAX, with refuel stop in Hawaii)
2. Nadi, Fiji
3. Auckland, New Zealand
4. Melbourne, Australia
5. Lake Tyrrell, Australia
6. Jakarta, Indonesia
7. Ipoh, Malaysia
8. Kathmandu, Nepal
9. Da Nang, Vietnam
10. Kyoto, Japan
11. Honolulu, Hawaii, United States

Season 36 - filming May-June 2023

Travels to South America, Africa and Europe.

1. Quito, Ecuador (from LAX)
2. Cusco, Peru
3. Santiago, Chile
4. Mendoza, Argentina
5. Belize City, Belize (Mendoza to Belize City is 3,210 nautical miles so might need refuel stop)
6. Caye Caulker, Belize
7. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
8. Praia, Cape Verde
9. Rabat, Morocco
10. Dublin, Ireland
11. Boston, Massachusetts, United States (with refuel stop in Halifax)

The former looks much better than the latter besides some minor adjustments like going to Dunedin instead of the North Island and Tasmania rather than a second leg in Victoria because there remain too many unvisited major South American cities such as Guayaquil, Iquitos, Concepcion, and Tucuman.

Probably on par with getting eliminated at the starting line because you couldn't find the right license plate. That's also why I suggested a speed bump for the penalty because I just generally assume a team can handle one (American TAR S27 spoiler for anyone that hasn't seen it)Show contentThat isn't having to do a roadblock twice. Some of the speedbumps that aren't accomplished usually happen because of factors outside of the actual speed bump itself like being lost or struggling with a detour/roadblock.

Parasparopagraho:
The Handicap from the Norwegian version was perhaps a tad much.

Tanukigirl:
Here's my first attempt at a 'season' of locations. For my countries, I only considered countries rated 40 or higher (out of 100) on the Safety Index for Tourists. I hope this is a really good season. I tried to avoid the 4-4-3 pattern from American TAR (4 Europe, 4 Asia, 3 extra like Africa, South America, ect) ALSO i do not know many of things going on politically and globally so I deeply apologize if one of the countries I list is currently having a civil war or something else that could threaten the safety of the competitors.

Leg 1: Washington, DC --> La Paz, Bolivia
Leg 2: La Paz, Bolivia --> Valencia, Spain
Leg 3: Valencia, Spain --> Barcelona, Spain (Train)
Leg 4: Barcelona, Spain --> Heraklion, Greece
Leg 5: Heraklion, Greece --> Nairobi, Kenya
Leg 6: Nairobi, Kenya
Leg 7: Nairobi, Kenya --> Port Louis, Mauritius
Leg 8: Port Louis, Mauritius --> Colombo, Sri Lanka
Leg 9: Colombo, Sri Lanka --> Kandy, Sri Lanka (Bus and Train)
Leg 10: Colombo, Sri Lanka (For airport) --> Osaka, Japan
Leg 11: Osaka, Japan --> Vancouver, Canada
Leg 12: Vancouver, Canada --> Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA)

Final Memory Challenge Idea: 2nd Roadblock so one specific team member would have to do it on each team. Memory challenge of the flags but with a twist.
Each person doing the last road block before the pitstop will have to make 9 Dream Catchers. Instructions will be provided for each team member on how to create a dream catcher. However they have to make a dream catcher to match every country they visited on the Amazing Race (Including USA).

E.X.
First, they have to pick the colors that can be seen on each country's flag (can not look up hints or look at previously taken notes)
Then there will be specific instructions for the design of the flags.

Let's Say Joe is making the Dream Catcher for Bolivia. First he needs to make sure he uses Red, Yellow, and Green materials (Like beads). Then he has to have the design be based on a provided chart.

If the flag consist only of vertical lines, attach 5 feathers.
If the flag consist only of horizontal lines, attach 3 feathers
If the flag has both vertical and horizontal lines, only attach 2 feathers.

And there could be other restrictions like the type of feathers that are allowed to be used per design and the inside design of the dream catcher webbing.
