+ A new twist every season, but different each time (like the two million dollar prize)
+ something interesting in each leg. I want that placement table in Wikipedia to have at least one weird symbol each leg. Maybe the Double Battle task they have in TAR Israel (if I'm not mistaken).
+ A double elimination on the leg before the finale. I wonder how teams would react to this.
+ Bring back the Hazard penalty task (for the last team at the Starting Line task) and the Yield (and maybe make a blind double Yield)
Side note: What do you guys think of a Detour like mechanic, except it's not just for one task but for a series of tasks. So teams start at the same place and end at the same place, but took the leg on very different paths. And then there's a Yield like mechanic were one team forces another team to take one side of the set of tasks before entering the said set. Just a thought :)
Sidetrack: It took me a while to realize that we did have a night leg in TAR23. In Norway, only the sun was up the whole time. :funny:

Forgot to add that to my list. :tup: And something I'd like to add would be a double elimination on the F5 will only be mentioned on the clue going to the pit stop. Meaning to say, it will not be mentioned in the previous leg (like Phil telling Bill & Cathi that there'll be a 2EL in the following leg) or any other time in the penultimate leg. The last 3 teams would probably react like this (if they are neck-and-neck): 3rd placer: (in a soft voice) The last 2 teams to check in will be eliminated. 4th placer: The last 2 teams to check-in... [random expression]! We have to beat them in a foot race! RUN!!! Then imagine what a dramatic moment it will be, and imagine if there's a commercial right before they reach the pit stop. :funny:

That would be TV gold! ... if the last three teams are actually racing against each other. I just realized this. :( If teams ended up getting separated early in the leg (like in TAR22 Scotland), it wouldn't be much of a thrill...
If TPTB would actually do this, they'll be sure to bunch up the teams at the start. What are the chances they'll actually do it for this all stars? :)
Mister RC:
I guess the only way I'd agree to a 1st leg NEL (hated those) is if the Hazard was featured. Otherwise, no need for that. Fortunately when they had those, they included a random double detour and a start line boot.
Anyway, the mid-leg boot out of nowhere was a neat idea. Having that in leg 6-8 would really scare the crap out of the surviving teams.
A double Yield (or a blind Yield) would totally rock. Should be interesting to see a scene where the first team Yielded would Yield a second team, and then the second team would either stand by them, asking "What gives?" or kick their ass. A blind Yield would be good TV, seeing a team get mad at "someone" in particular, (esp not the suspects).

Could be great if they did a Season, where they went around the World without going to Asia.
They did it with Europe in Season 2!!!!!!!

Agree on this. Asia has a lot to offer, but maybe they can explore Asia a little every season, and not overload 5-6 legs there. I would love some Europe and Africa as well!
