I want drag queens or a transgender team.
Coz we already had gays and lesbians. We need more colors from my beloved LGBT people. :hearts:

I wish (just a wish), they can do that meat ripping challenge from Survivor last season.

I never want to see a disgusting eating challenge again. I really don't think the Race needs to stoop to trying to make contetants puke...

Agreed. Leave that to Fear Factor or some other disgusting stunt show.

But those "disgusting" food that they eat are also part of other cultures around the world. And they need to be seen. Its an embedded part of life in the other parts of the world, even though its "disgusting" in the viewers lives (while its delicious through the locals' eyes). Its completely unfair if they just let them eat steak, hamburgers, fries, chocolates, or any staple in the Western life.

My problem with many of those challenges is just the sheer quantity of the food. If it's not physically possible to complete the challenge without vomiting several times, I don't want to watch it. It shouldn't be faster to skip the challenge than to finish it. I personally want to see more local cuisine, but please no shots of throwing up (this includes sound).

Yup! People complain about disgusting food while in fact the one that should be complained is how the editors edit the challenge (adding scenes of throwing up, etc.) :tup:
