Why the Amazing Race has lost its magic
Coutzy:
I think its just the bordering of the names and lines. Europe was just so connection heavy it comes out as a black cloud.
Caelestor:
TPTB had a lot of money to spend back then.
Based on the flights, I think TAR 2 should have had one leg in Europe (for a six-continent race!).
The leg in Maui should've become part of the finale, with Alaska gone.
Coutzy:
Have they had a race that doesn't cross into the Southern Hemisphere before? (Besides FE of course.)

I didn't really realize how much bunching there was this season until Neobie showed us his amazing maps.
And yes, then it suddenly struck me and made me realized Phil was always doing the voiceover of -
Teams #1, #2, #3 are flying to ____ via ____.
Teams #4, #5, #6 are flying to ____ via ____.
Teams #7, #8, #9 are flying to ____ via ____.
There are always so many different connecting points, but teams always ended up on the same place almost at the same time.

Not too significant trends here, but it seems to be happening more frequently...
TAR 3 (Southernmost point: Singapore 1°N)
TAR 6 (Southernmost point: Galle 6°N)
TAR 12 (Southernmost point: Ouagadougou 12°N)
TAR 14 (Southernmost point: Phuket 7°N)
TAR 15 (Southernmost point: Ho Chi Minh City 10°N)
