Changes Viewers Would Like To See *Are you reading, CBS?*

<< < (5/52) > >>

NorthernLily:
In addition to some of the ideas suggested, I would like to see:
- teams not being equalized on flights every leg. I loved the old races when teams were all on different flights, trying to find the best one to take them to their next destination (Season 5 - Charla & Mirna)

- I wish teams didn't help each other as much in these last 4 or so seasons. Maybe I'm not remembering properly, but it seems that there used to be more of a competitive edge between the teams. For the most part teams were doing the tasks on their own, not getting other teams to show them how to do it.

Bookworm:
1. I'd really LOVE Route Info "Mini tasks" like TAR Canada had. Not super-challenging tasks, just little things that show more culture. Season 23 has done this pretty well, better than pervious seasons.
2. MORE RIDDLES!  Riddles will cause either smart teams to propel forward, local interaction (which is hilarious), or both.
3. Better Pit Stops! I liked how Season 1 had local designs at the Pit Stop. Don't get me wrong, though, I love the Pit Stop mat. However, I think they could incorporate local culture better, instead of a few people standing in the middle of a square.
4. More Fast Forwards and U-Turns! Also more challenging Detours on U-Turn Legs.
5. Incorporate the No-Break Elimination Leg idea into legs. It'd be interesting to see teams be exhausted, keep racing, and then, the last few teams, seeing other teams, getting a false sense of security and then panicking.... Is that bad?....

dryedmangoez:
Speaking of zero hour Pit Stops, I want to see someone get ELIMINATED at a zero hour Pit Stop.

Xarles:
WOW!!!

I've just read the full thread and I agree with all of the ideas. I'd just add:

Bring more excruciatingly funny tasks like cheeses rolling downhill, big, heavy, wet fish having to be carried through city streets, ridiculous disguises in rather serious places.

Idea: When teams ask for directions have them dressed like their destination. i.e. Wear swimsuits when asking for a beach, wear helmets when asking for a shooting range, wear flamenco dresses when asking for a show in Spain and so on.

I love when you balance, culture, intelligence, sightseeing, adventure, adrenalin, suspense & FUN!

supah:
all i want to EMPHASISE is that the soundtrack you have been using in post UB is so bad and it makes me cringe and it doesnt add any excitement to the race. take some tips from the editors of TAR:can and TAR:aus - they know how its done
