I haven't seen that season but it sounds bad and really pretty cheap. How many times have they ended in Hawaii now as well? Shouldn't be too difficult to change the end point, and there are many famous locations they could use in America as well.

The race has gone through Hawaii enroute to the final city a few times, but I think this is only the second time it was teh final destination.

Two times: season 15 (Tammy and Victor victory) and this season. :tup:

Season 14 actually.
California is really over used. I don't understand why it's been used as starting & finish lines so many many times. Alot of other airports has plenty flight connections like Chicago, NYC, Boston & Miami.
What could be the reason why TAR loves to start or/and end in California?

Type error in the season (sometimes my fingers run faster than my brain :lol:)
I remenber seasons who began in N.Y. (TAR1), Florida (TAR2), Seattle (TAR10), Chicago (TAR6) and Denver(TAR9). I miss them too.

In all fairness, the second Thailand leg had to be improvised in 24 hours after plans for a leg in a different country fell through. (I don't know any specifics, but maybe someone else does? The rumors I've heard here are that the un-used country was going to be Laos, but I don't know if there was any proof of that.)

They've certainly gone through it a few times near the end, almost like it's a weekend holiday for the staff before it ends lol.
But I wonder why they don't make the final leg a bit more epic and use some of the big landscape, monument or building attractions in the US on the final leg. They've gone away from that generally on the race it seems, which is a shame.
