Maybe what could be done is rather than doing things like "Metro Manila -> Cavite -> Batangas -> Cavite -> Batangas" and "Scotland, United Kingdom -> Denmark -> Sweden -> Denmark", it could be "Metro Manila -> Batangas (and Cavite)" and "Scotland -> Denmark (and Sweden)"? I agree the long titles don't work, but doing just Pit Stop to Pit Stop also makes no sense (especially in cases like the Germany-plus-Austria legs in TAR3 and TAR14), and neither does simply saying "Germany and Austria" because of that HMLM leg that would be presented as "Hungary -> Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia" under that format.
I second going back to the old format, but I actually like having the task markers before the destinations. My understanding is that it was only done when it required going from the clue to the task at a different place (see the Detours where two locations are listed), which makes sense to me. The indents for Fast Forwards annoy me more, when we could just put the Fast Forward logo before the task location. (The other option would be copying Survivor's format and splitting it up into three parts - a location list, a task guide, and then a summary of what actually happens in the episode - but that'd be far too much work.)
I also think we need to come up with an easy way to tell what actually IS a task. Detours and Road Blocks and whatever are obvious, but where do we draw the line with Route Info tasks? Is "drive yourself here" a task while "take a taxi here" isn't? Was it an actual task in season one for teams to work out that Songwe Museum was in Songwe Village, or that the Eiffel-Tower-like model they got later in that same leg represented the real Eiffel Tower? Is finding a cluegiver in a specific costume at the set location any different from the recent change of locally-inspired clue vessels? And so on.
Edit: **cough**.

Hallelujah. He finally yielded and agreed to cut up those large paragraphs into smaller paragraphs, and add Sweden to the header for leg 4. God, if this is how much it needs to take to make those small changes, what would happen if a big edit needs to come.

I really hope the one style is restated soon

I wish It was England Scotland Wales Northern Ireland and not the UK (:;)

I have to disagree. United Kingdom is one country by international standards. Separating it into four would just be due to personal preference.
