Do you think the American version will ever include the Double-Battle?

The Double Battle is horrible but I wouldn't mind the Intersection returning :conf:

Though that was thanks in part to the prior Roadblock, which had one team member buried on a cold beach for 2 hours, hypothermia set in

That would not have happened in other versions. Teams who have quit the Double-Battle previously (ie, Roni & Yael, TARI 4) have had to sit around and wait until the last team leaves and then serve the 15-minute penalty before leaving. The Canadian version was too lenient.

Yeah, in TARPH2 also, teams who wanted to quit or hand over the win actually had to wait for the next team to arrive.
The idea of the Double Battle is fine, but I don't think it should have a hand in eliminating teams. I think it depends on the task too. But it should simply cause drama and foster rivalries or just be somewhat fun.
One of the best "Duels" from TARPH2 was in Leg 8 where teams were pulled in a chariot by carabao/oxen and they had to grab flags along the way. They had to beat their opponent to the finish AND grab all the flags. The best part was that in any duel, it was possible for neither team to win and both would have to get back in line. That was very exciting.

The amazing race ANZ also have the double-battle but in different format, that is a nation double-battle, at SL five teams of each countries play tug of war, the winner will immediately be allowed to depart for the airport. The losing country's team would have to wait out a 10-minute time penalty before departing
There is also a nation double-battle task at start of 6th leg, Each individual team would have to choose a Russian nesting doll, and then had to search among hundreds of other nesting dolls in five separate houses to find the four smaller dolls that fit inside of theirs.
New Zealand teams won a first match but lost in a second match,

I'd be happy if they bring back the Intersection. Double Battle is a risk.
