Do you think the American version will ever include the Double-Battle?
Dånooky:
I think the Double Battle would be too anti-climatic for US audiences
Best Loser:
The reason the double battle works in the Israeli version and failed so hard in the Canadian version is that their legs are much much longer. American legs are even shorter than Canadian ones, so there's no chance of the loser catching up. Look at the results of U-turns in the Israeli version compared to other versions.

That is true. While American/Canadian/other version's legs are typically: Extra task (often 2 in Canada, sometimes none in US), Roadblock, Detour, Pit Stop
Israel has so many tasks it takes 3 full episodes to cover it all. Have you ever seen the length of the leg summaries on Wikipedia?
