i too, would rather not have an all male final 3 but all forms of diversity should be celebrated!

and it's reversed, since it is the parent that is disabled. I am happy that TAR casted them. It shows, that they can do the Race.

My only preference would have been to visit a fourth country in Asia within the first six legs. If they had just popped down to Malaysia or Singapore for one of the double legs, frankly, it would be a superb route. Instead, it is very good, but not quite great. I have no doubt we are in for a great season though.
Also - the second leg in Thailand is outside Bangkok. It will be in the Nakhon Pathom province about an hour west of the capital. So technically that is a new area visited also.
I am thrilled with casting - finally we have age diversity and physicality of all 'shapes and sizes' again after the 20s had quite generic casting. As for the three MM potentially in final four, I don't mind it given who the MM teams are, but I would say that I hope WRP/CBS recognises that 37 should have more FF teams than MM. It hardly ever happens and I don't understand why. Ideally, I'd love to see 5 FF, 5 MF, 3 MM next season.

My only take on the route, is the 1st six legs could have been better IMO, while I like the revisit to Southeast Asia in a long time felt really long. it was 2018, It could have been different. Sure, we got iconic moments from Thailand, Vietnam, India over the years. They could have gone to an unvisited location in those countries or better an underused country or even better, a new country. I would swap out x2 Thailand Legs for South Korea (Seoul & Busan), the x2 Vietnam Legs for Laos (Vientiane) and Maldives (a tropical island) and the x2 India Legs for Nepal x2. It's something minor from me since I do want the Race to best as it could be.
On the bright side at least we're getting a new city in Vietnam and seeing another part of India that's like a time capsule.
Once they touched Europe it was chef's kiss. Germany's overused, but this ain't Munich, Berlin. This is Cologne, a new city. Then came the Slovenian Legs, a brand new country that should have been visited a long time ago, it's literally there. A revisit to Sweden, we can finally get a proper Stockholm Leg. At long last capping off with a much-long awaited visit to Ireland. 24 Seasons later and it's a new city. Dublin.
TAR Israel did one of the best routes this year and I think TAR US also did. If it was South Korea x2 - Laos - Maldives - Nepal x2 (or they can throw in like Malaysia, Singapore, Qatar, Oman) + the remaining Europe Legs. We got a stunner of a route.
I remember reaching out to a producer a few years back to visit even more, expand to even more locations.
A simple request to visit new countries, revisit underused countries (especially one-time visits). As a hardcore fan I'm happy.
I believe they listened and I'm sure I'm not the only one who emailed them requesting the same.

You forgot Philippines for 25 and Zambia for 27.

I would add Chile to the list as well since it hadn’t been visited since S23.
