Would Longer Amazing Race Season Work for You?
bc922:
I think 12 legs is a good amount with 13 legs working well too. I agree that 11 legs is too short. The one thing I would love to see is a return of the 1.5-2 hour episodes that features 1 leg and not like the recent combination of 2 legs together. The last time this happened was Season 17: Leg 1. CBS has been doing a better job in the recent seasons of trying to give each team a decent amount of airtime to really get to know them but there always seems to be 1 or two teams which are under-edited and pretty invisible up until their elimination. If CBS had room in their schedule for a 1.5-2 hour premiere, viewers could grow more attached to the teams.
On another note, if CBS could air a 1.5-2 hour episode and had the funding to really go all out on just one single leg with more route info tasks, rather than the linear detour-roadblock-pitstop/ roadblock-detour-pitstop, the race would be more interesting. As a viewer, I really want to see more out of the countries the race visits each season, especially for places that are first time visits.
David:
I'd love the first episodes to be somehow longer. 10-11 teams are way too much, and that means having to put few tasks OR having to avoid broadcasting some scenes.
I remember in previous seasons, not seeing how some teams in the middle of the pack performed tasks and such. They were shown in the Pitstop and not much more. The first place and last place drama was the most important part, and that was it.
12 legs is great, but I'd love 60-minute episodes with more scenes in the first legs, and more tasks in the final legs (or Leg 06 onwards). Please, more FF! :lol3:
Jimmer:
I would like a longer season with more teams because I hate getting bored in the summer and winter when there is no TAR. I also thing longer episodes would be good because you could see the actions of the tasks and it would slow the episode down.
georgiapeach:
Well we have TAR aus 2 airing soon so that will keep you happy! And then there are spoilers...
Jimmer:
I haven't invested my time into international versions yet. :(
