TAR17 starting line/finish line cities?
David:
Oh, Gosh! I don't mind starting line and finish line cities much. Some unseen city would be great for a finish line.
What I prefer are the other countries, and I just hope that Spain could be visited now, it's time for it, as it is visited each 7 seasons (TAR3, TAR10).

TAR 3 doesn't count. But yes, we need a visit to Madrid or Seville. Better yet, both of them!
Other places to visit: West Africa, South Australia, Indonesia, South Korea, Brussels/Luxembourg, Copenhagen.

Well, the thing about it is that most of the other countries in the world are featured in the race. IMO if they only start in LA and end in the western US every season, it's a waste of places in the US that they could feature. There are many amazing world sites within the US that they still could visit. So I feel that they're sort of excluding the US from being "represented" by what they are doing right now. It's true that it is a show for US audiences, but there are plenty of people here that haven't been to many cool places within their own country. And I don't think the Family Edition quite filled the gap.
It would be like starting every season in Spain in the exact same city, but never featuring any other part of Spain ever. It would be really old after 2 seasons. And you would never really see any culture, lifestyle, etc. that could be found there.

Yeah, Hooky, but we saw how "amazing" Amazing Race 8 was. If that is all World Race Productions can do to showcase the U.S., then I prefer to see only the starting line, transportation, airline options and flight departures in that city plus all the tasks in the Finish Line city and leave touring the United States to some other show (actually, there is one - The Great American Road Trip). Actually, tasks in the area around the Finish Lines have been rather interesting, with AR2, AR5, AR7, AR13 and AR14 being the best I recall for the last telecast hour of those seasons.

I've always thought Indy would be great for a spring finale to either tie in basketball-related tasks (especially with the NCAA & CBS in cahoots) or auto racing-tasks. A finish at the Motor Speedway seems like the perfect Race metaphor. But no one's asking me. ;)
