If season 18 begins filming next month as an 2nd All-Star season, I speculate that we may see more Africa and Oceania next season and possibly Brazil again with the chance of more Asia. I also hope we get 13 legs again with a intermediate destination on the final leg. Even an actual Pit Stop in Canada or Finland would be nice. Canada has been visited only twice and Finland once and both of these countries were either a intermediate stop or in Finland's case a TBC point. For Brazil, I hope they visit Manaus and Brasilia, and in Oceania a return to Australia would be nice and even a new Pacific Island country like Palau or Fiji. For Asia, Bahrain or Jordan is a chance, even Laos and Indonesia, but Central Vietnam is a must have and so is Malaysian Borneo. And for Africa, Morocco should make a comeback and Zimbabwe or Gabon should also get visits. For the final leg(s), Northern Alaska like Fairbanks or Barrow would be nice or Southeast Alaska would be great. Just have more starting lines that's not in Los Angeles for a while.

I am serious, everytime the race visits Alaska, its mainly around the Anchorage area. Fairbanks is a good sized city and Barrow is the most northernmost city in the US. Fairbanks has alot around there and Barrow is right next to the Arctic Ocean. Imagine teams taking a dip in the frozen sea as a task, they swam in a frozen lake in South Korea during Season 4. Plus Juneau the state capital is also on my list due to the mountainous backdrop and the nearby glaciers.

I haven't been to Barrow, but I have been all around Fairbanks and as far as you can go on roads (not far) around Juneau and to Glacier Bay by boat from there. I have also been on the Alaska Inside Passage cruise ship route (Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Skagway) and my cousin has sent me reports that Seward, Whittier and Kenai are all worth visiting. Alaska is full of interesting things. If one of the above were the first stop in a east-to-west Amazing Race, there would be time to take in the natural beauty. The reason it has been Anchorage so often is that it is at the end of west-to-east race and the flights from Anchorage to mainland U.S. cities are far better than for any other city in Alaska.
