Twist(s) should be added in TAR US
BourkieBoy:
INVADER TWIST!!!
FACE-OFF!!!
MUST-VOTE U-TURN!!!
Boring Dude:
Some twists with could be cool but are not on the list above:
1) Express Pass hidden at another task (such as RB or ARI). Teams are warned at the beginning of the leg to keep their eyes peeled for the EP, but are not given specific clues as to its location. It would be easily visible, but teams would have to find it still. Really rewards teams who are observant and can multitask well.
2) Doubleback. Essentially a roadblock u-turn.
3) New and Improved Yield. An additional task (similar to a speed bump) that 1 or 2 teams can be forced to complete in the same way as a u-turn. Could also be called a Hazard or Backstab.
4) Start Line Merge. In a 12 team season, the last two teams to complete a start line task are merged into one team, consisting of one member from each team. This would create drama. Lots of drama.
5) Fans vs. Favorites: Perfect Strangers. 11 previous racers returning without their teammates + 11 new racers, matched up as in season 29. Probably the best way to implement a FvF theme into TAR.

Double Battle was far more successful in Israeli version, even strong teams like Bar & Inna, Alan & Oren already lost in double battle
elthemagnifico:
I always want to see RB has its own power race like u-turn... So it's really cool to have doubleblock (or kinda) :hoot:
Also Fans vs Favorites 's gimmick is cool since TAR 29 has done successfuly with Blind teams gimmick
EAOWadsy:
I most definitely agree with Paldog... 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
