Bring back the 'Intersection' twist because it worked very well with the All-Stars season in particular. It was so awesome and kept things interesting. I would also like to see the following (instead of production team getting lazy):

- 2 Fast Forwards per season
- 2 Double U-Turns per season but placed near the mid point of a leg, not at the end which is a waste of time
- A To Be Continued leg as a double leg, rather than two separate legs. This hasn't happened since TAR 14, and it would create an additional episode, but still keep 3 ordinary non-elimination legs.
- Bring back the Hazard twist, for the team that completes a starting line task last
- Another idea here... Bring back the Yield. Just for a single leg of a season, to add on top of there already being 2 U-Turns

I thought the Krakow intersection was awful. It was a great task which was hilarious but structually it didn't work. Having 2 buses which were spread apart (cant remeber exact times) and makng 1 team member (D&K) fall behind and not to mention Joe and Bill were marked for elimination and the roadblock after was linear. It was similar to Tar aus2 leg 6. Ross & Taryn were marked for elimination and were set to beat James & Sarah but were screwed by the intersection. I belive the intersection worked great in Tar Aus 1 leg 8 (Poland) and Tar10 leg 8 (Madagascar). It kind of worked in S16 I just thought it was pointless as it was a bungee jump.

EAOWadsy:
That's precisely why I liked it, though I do agree on one thing - Joe & Bill's marked for elimination. Having it appear directly after a NEL was definitely not a great move. On TAR10, I felt that they weren't intersected long enough, whereas here it was better. Dustin & Kandice falling behind because of that is part of the game in my opinion, and they got the short straw. It was a good twist, that needed to be utilized better than what it was.

TARUSAFan:
I'd love to see the Intersection again, as it is fun to watch. I want the Double-Length Legs to make a comeback again. like in S.9 from Brazil to Russia then to Germany and S.10 from Madagascar to Finland then on to Ukraine. It costs more for production but since we are having just 1 season per year then why not make it longer, IMO.

Technically KOR is the same as a double-length leg
I honesty don't see any difference between the two

You don't get where I'm coming from. In S.7, we had 2 different places of India visited on the 8th leg with Jodphur and Lucknow. In S.9 we had Russia & Germany in Leg 3 and in S.10 with Finland & Madagascar in Leg 9. 2 Roadblocks and 2 Detours shown over 2 different episodes. In a nutshell, 2 countries in 1 leg.
