I really like the Alberta tasks/ideas, but I think that there's so much it can be made into two legs. To make room for this, I think you can combine the 3 legs in Finland & Norway into 2 legs.

The Amazing Race: Win at all costs
(a season of teams that haven't won a leg)

1. Kynt & Vyxsin
2. Nathan & Jennifer
3. Terence & Sarah
4. Kelly & Christy
5. Jamie & Cara
6. Amanda & Kris
7. Brian & Ericka
8. Maria & Tiffany
9. Carol & Brandy
10. Nick & Vicki
11. Laurence & Zac
12. Justin & Jennifer
13. Vanessa & Ralph
14. Joey "Fitness" & Danny
15. Gary & Will
16. Amy & Daniel
17. Caroline & Jennifer
18. Joey & Meghan

5 F/F, 10 M/F, 3 M/M

Too many teams I know, so make them do an epic starting line task and eliminate 6 teams right there (I can deal with 12 teams - especially for a returning racers season).
I think I would be happy seeing any of these teams race again, most of them place 6th or higher. There are very few M/M teams because a surprising number of interesting M/M teams have won a leg, even if they got eliminated early.
Having so many couples could also be a problem ><

Thoughts?

Whoops, I forgot season 24...
Nicky and Kim, and Jason and Amy (provided that they don't go on to win a leg)

F3: Andie & Jenna, Eric & Lisa, and Jody & Shannon!

Jody & Shannon as the eventual winners!

but that may just be my personal opinion.

Unless they all somehow befall terrible unforeseen circumstances, if you put x amount of teams into a race you're going to come out with 1 winner, it's a formula we've seen work more than 22 times now...

Unless you're referring to the teams in terms of quality/entertainment, in which case I saw if they were casted once then there must be something about them that could produce great TV.

If you're saying my cast may be unbalanced I would probably agree but that would be a result of using such a formula/caveat to choose teams
