Changes Viewers Would Like To See *Are you reading, CBS?*
sharkshooter:
I'd like to see more opportunities for choice of how to get from A to B. Either multiple flight options, or in-city, travel by bus, subway, rickshaw, foot, etc. to ... Taxi races are getting boring.
Brannockdevice:
1.) Have leg 11 a double elimination (so the 5th and 4th place team get eliminated in the second to last leg).
2.) More countries
3.) Triple elimination
4.) I really liked the voting U-turn from TAR Aus 2
5.) New countries
6.) Start and/or end in a random place (Yellowstone or Montana or something weird, preferably a national park).
and last but not least....
7.) GO TO ANTARCTICA!!
Boring Dude:
Unlike most people on this thread, I actually feel that the most recent seasons of TAR (22 and 23 specifically) have been great. There definitely are several things that could be improved, though.
1.Bring back the starting line task, and give the first person to finish an express pass.
2.Bring back the intersection.
3.Start/end in the midwest/mountain states/southwest.
4.Use 2-4 fast forwards per race.
5.Add a roadblock u-turn, which forces the other member of the team to complete the roadblock.
6.Add a double elimination either in the middle of the season (legs 5-8) or on the penultimate leg (11).
Finally, I have read some complaints on the quality of recent seasons, and cries to go to only one season per year. If this was done, I feel it would need to be a bigger race, with 16 or so legs, 14 or so teams and some 90 minute episodes. This last section is just speculation on my part.

:hello2: and :bigwelcome to RFF, Boring Dude. :xmas49
Like your "EP on the starting line task" idea. :xmas146
I wonder if I posted that idea here... ???
And maybe to add to that idea, here's what I want to see:
1st EP - 1st to finish starting line task
2nd EP - 1st to get to airport
3rd EP - 1st leg prize
4th EP - to be given by the team who won leg 1

This is great. They definitely should do this. :cmas27

I think that's too many Express Passes. One is to bring one team above the others in terms of advantages. Two is how the other teams would react to it and how much they're going to give to get that advantage from another team. Four is just crazy. But that's me anyway :cmaslol
I agree they should bring back the Starting Line tasks. The first to finish the task and the first to finish the leg could receive the two Express Passes instead of the giving-it-to-another-team mechanic. The last to finish the starting line task should receive a penalty, maybe the Hazard (which is basically a Speed Bump), or maybe they could incorporate the Marked for Elimination in this sense: The last team to finish the task would receive a 30-minute penalty if they don't finish the leg in first.
