Then it would ruin the Roadblock count. I think the Intersection was/is a good twist. One idea I had once was a all leg intersection except for travel plans (i.e. at the first route marker), then have the leg be a double elimination (meaning the last intersected team to arrive at the map will be eliminated).

A Roadblock with an Intersection has one member from each individual team doing the Roadblock, so it's a 2-person Roadblock

Like in the Hamburg, Germany, leg of TAR16, where they had to perform a Bungee jump RB while they were Intersected.

A mental & physical intersection would be great. So the two teams will be really working with each other. The intersection in Hamburg was lame.

I'm agree with you. If I have to choose, I prefer the first time Intersection appeared in TAR history: TAR10, Leg 8, Madagascar. The Beauty Queens (working with the Cho Brothers) beating Tyler & James + Rob & Kimberley, despite the fact this two teams won an Intersected Fast Forward. :ya3:

Imagine if the "make a rope" task this week would have been an intersection instead (and one of the first four teams was no longer in the race)....You have three teams leave the pitstop within 30 minutes of each other, and race to the clue. The third team shows up a few minutes behind the second team...Now they have to wait almost 4 hours for Mark and Bopper to show up.
That's what I'm afraid of happening, a team getting a serious time penalty simply because another team screwed up on a previous leg, or missed a flight, or something like that.
Now, the challenge I'd love to see show up is the "Fork in the Road." It's a combination detour and roadblock. Reading the clue gives you two cryptic clues (for example "Who's got a taste for the finer things in life?" and "Who's up for some fun?") The team has to each select one of the two clues, and they each head off to do their own road block. When completed, they are given a clue that leads them to a meeting point. When both players arrive at that point, they are given the clue to the next location.

I think this is a great idea, the only possible problem I see would be the extra cameraman needed to follow both. The tension would be classic as one got to the meeting point and had no clue how long the other would take to arrive.
