That's what I've been saying! International All-Stars! Not only have CTV chip in to pay for it, get all the networks TAR airs in from which they'll choose the All-Stars (Seven in Australia, TV5 in the Philippines, AXN Asia, VTV in Vietnam, etc.)!
:hoot:

There's no other option in TARLA.

1. So after watching the third season of Australian version, do you think nation vs nation is a good idea for TAR? I do think it's good. But didn't Candian residents actually petitioned or something to be able to join the US version, but CBS said they were better off if they made their own version? Then the Canadian version came and it's very, vey great. But if ever they do get around to it, I hope they won't reinforce any stereotypes...
2. Ignoring the passport issues (that's what I've heard) or other possibilities, how much will you like to see CBS and CTV come together and co-create a season of Americans vs Canadians? (From 0 - 10) Any reason? Actually, travel freedom for both countries is really high. US is first (tied with 4 other countries), and Canada is second (tied w/ Denmark) in terms of travel freedom (number of countries that doesn't require much for a visa).
3. Do you think a season of nations competition helps bringing back the heat of the American version? I don't know. It really depends on the editing, the teams, the tasks, the course, and what happens on the Race itself. For example, season 8 was actually pretty great for me: good drama, great teams, great story. However, the course and some tasks were just dismally disappointing, it cast the season as one of the worst. But the initial hook (the nation v. nation thing) could increase viewership by itself.
4. Exotic or Patriotic: Which style of TAR do you prefer? The American style of international traveling or the Canadian style of racing in the legs related to your motherland. I think they should do it in thirds. One-third of the legs is in the US, one-third is in Canada, and the last third is in other countries. But if it's one nation's production (only aired in the US for example), then they shouldn't stray far from their own.
5: If there's one, who will be the host? Phil, Jon, or co-host? Again, if it's only aired in one nation, they should just use the host of that version, and maybe the other version's host would make a cameo when the Race visits his country. If airs on both nations, they could alternate, then both hosts at the finish line (wouldn't that be awkward?).
Neobie:
I wouldn't mind them doing it Treasure Hunters-style. Six Canadian teams starting in Ottawa, six American teams starting in DC. Each set runs their own race, until they meet each other at the end of the first leg at Niagara Falls...
