I really like both of them, but there might be controversy for some people for two reasons.
1. Not enough European nations
2. It goes to the Dominican Republic (Not a bad country per say, but also not the safest.)

Yeah. This was rather a trainwreck route that might not happen anyways on US TAR.
1. Yeah. That's pretty controversial for someone. But I think 3 legs of Australia/NZ legs are somewhat counter balance the Europe-less route just like how TAR2 did 4 Australia/NZ legs to compensate the no Europe visit.
2. Dominican Republic might not be the safest, but who knows it might get visited someday on TARUS season.

[Pi]

If WRP has had 3 legs/parts of legs in Zimbabwe, they can go to the Dominican Republic. TARLA has already been there twice for three legs. Santo Domingo and Punta Cana should be visited.

Plus dangerous countries like Mexico and Colombia was visited for TAR US upcoming season. So anything can happen except visiting North Korea and some Middle East countries.

[Erebus1111]

I think I've come up with the perfect plan.
Leg one: Seattle, Washington to Osaka, Japan (Starting point an island so that contestant row to mainland to drive to airport.)
Leg 2: Osaka, Japan to Manila, Philippines (NEL)
Leg 3: Manila, Philippines, to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (With throwback Roadblock)
Leg 4: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to Antananarivo, Madagascar
Leg 5: Antananarvio, Madagascar, to Nairobi, Kenya (NEL)
Leg 6: Nairobi, Kenya
Leg 7: Nairobi, Kenya, to Athens, Greece
Leg 8: Athens, Greece, to Sofia, Bulgaria (Final NEL)
Leg 9: Sofia, Bulgaria, to Budapest, Hungary, to Vienna, Austria
Leg 10: Vienna, Austria, to Lisbon, Portugal
Leg 11: Lisbon, Portugal to Bridgetown, Barbados
Leg 12: Bridgetown, Barbados, to either New Orleans, Louisiana, or Miami, Florida
Sorry no South America

^^ The Double-Roadblock Speedbump is a terrible concept imo

I miss seeing 2 to 3 fast forwards per season. I wanna see more fast forwards!

[Andre]

I wanna see a NEL at Leg 2. Can't remember the very last time we saw this happen...

^^ The Double-Roadblock Speedbump is a terrible concept imo

Instead of being  , I decided to change the speedbump in Leg 3. Now team mates must properly feed their ducks after completing the roadblock.  On to the next leg then.
Leg 4: Fast Forward - Both team members will scuba dive and search for 7 rocks on the ocean floor, all of them having the TAR flag symbol on them. After they find all 7, they must decipher the word, Tilapia, to receive the pit stop clue. (Note a book with a list of fish native to Madagascar will be given to them before they dive into the ocean) Roadblock - One team member must gather and deliver a wheelbarrows worth of raffia (A judge will decide when they have enough leaves.) Detour- Brain (Win a match of the traditional game, Fanorona, against a professional) or Brawn (Help a village set up mosquito nets correctly on 4 huts and then properly light a fire without flint/lighter.)

Never in the US though. I never watched any of the seasons that were just mentioned though.

[Erebus1111]

I always wondered if they could ever do another family edition of TAR, but have it still be two people per team. (One example is father with is son. a.k.a David and Connor) Let me get some of the arguments out of the way.

The kids would be too young - have kids been from ages 14-17

It's bad to watch a parent argue with their child and vice versa - Yes, but that happens everywhere, so why be upset that it's being shown here?

Kids should not go through the stress of TAR - That's why they have the physical and mental exams before picking participants. Besides, I though personally the kids did fine in season 8.

Kids couldn't handle going to new countries - Again, I point back to season 8 when they went to Panama and Costa Rica.

[Marionete]

I'd rather they did some conventional normal seasons without any gimmicks or special themes for the sake of everyone; both RFF-league fans and casuals.

[Lemontail]

It would be interesting if they make a returning season but with swapped teams (but not known by teams that they will have to swap and can't cancel):

So,

Justin & Hayley.
Brooke & Diana
Tiffany & Alli
Krista & Kym
Robbie & Blair
Logan & Jim
Chris & Misti

Any better team combinations? I couldn't think about others so yeah.

2 unique, memorable final RB ideas for the final leg:

ROADBLOCKS:
• Firefighting training: "Who responds faster to the sound of alarm?" - One team member has to don extrication gear and ride their assigned fire truck to a burning, 3-story fire training warehouse (three buildings spread out around the city area). Once there, they had to put on oxygen tanks & safety gear and climb the truck ladder up to the third floor. Gradually clearing the burning flames and embers, team members must cautiously walk through the smoldering warehouse down to ground level where they have to rescue a mannequin dressed as a firefighter. Smashing through the wooden door with a sledgehammer or an axe, teams must drag the mannequin out to finish the task. Team members must complete this task in less than 15 min. to receive their next (final) clue or suffer a 10 sec. penalty for every second passed the 15 min. mark.

Not what I had expected, but that episode will do. Thank you for possibly actually reading this, WRP!
