Yeah, there could be plenty more choices.
What would be the equivalent of a U-Turn/Detour for the Road Block where both team members must complete the RB, separately. 

The Interchange? The Toll Plaza?  lol, I dunno.

Platrium:
Unblock road? Unblock? Because a roadblock requires one team member to perform, so unblocking would require both to do it? :lol:
But the U-turn counterpart for the roadblock is definitely one of my least favorite wishes.

I agree. It would mess up the RB counts. (ex: In TAR18, each team member had to do 6 RBs) The RB-Turn would just make one team member do many more RBs than the other.

NMC:
I know this has been mentioned by possibly EVERY member on here, but I need to stress it again. :lol:
PLEASE CBS, we NEED more memorable, average Joe teams!

I'm mainly aiming this at the M/F teams, as most of the F/F & M/M teams have been great, with the exception of some of the professional athlete / minor celebrity teams.

I'm sick of all these generic, no personality, couples that have been cast just because they have that "air-brushed model" look to them, which makes them look great on TV. E.g. Jason & Amy (I know people like them but I really didn't), John & Jessica (S22 only), Meghan & Cheyne, Nick & Star, Abbie & Ryan, Trey & Lexi, Dave & Rachel (Possibly my most hated winners EVER), Ernie & Cindy, Jill & Thomas... Etc...  :res:

We need to go back to the days when the cast was made up of great, everyday people.  Compare the above teams to the likes of Steve & Debra, David & Mary, Steve & Linda, Lenny & Karyn, Anthony & Stephanie, and I'd even go as far as saying Kynt & Vyxsin from S12 because they so were different from anything we'd seen before on the race.  :wohoo:

Yes, I know most of the teams I named weren't the best racers, but watching teams like these that have never travelled and just want to live the experience and see the world, is much more entertaining, and enjoyable for the viewer, (well for me anyway) then watching a bunch of teams that probably grew up with a privileged background, that have probably done some travelling and probably don't even need them money that much.   :groan:

That's why I LOVED Brendan & Adam, because they're so different and wanted the money for good intentions, just like Mark & Bopper.

Ohhh well, I can only dream.  :pity

Rant over. :lol:

Jobby:
tbh the cowboys were unique....................... #justsaying #butnotafterthreetimes

and you need your token model/nice/cute looking couple every season because you need to appeal to everyone? i mean you like average joe teams but there are those who don't..
