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.

In Madagascar, TAR10-8, after the Intersection ended, the teammate of the member of the team who was performing the RB had to wait at the PitStop for the partner to check toghether; and it happened what you said.

I'd love a twist where the teams were completely shuffled for a leg and both team members in the last place team would have their partners eliminated along with themselves in an evil double elimination. Then again, maybe I'm just looking for something forcing bickering people to work together that's not an intersection. :P

We already had something close to this, and it was, once again, in Madagascar, TAR10-8: David & Mary - with a 30' penalty over they heads if they not win the leg (for 2nd time in the season) - ended eliminated after work in the Intersection with Bama in the matresses Detour and been released for the RB. Bama checked in fifth place, and Kentucky arrive last - by the way, they were allies -.

You are no longer intersected
Drive to the next pit stop...

That wouldn't work . The two teams would obviously go together to the pit stop.
