Why did Amazing Race skip out on 3 continents? From my memeory we had no legs in South America, Australia and Africa. Personally I am getting sick how often the show goes to Asia, they need to change things up a bit in future.

Despite it being 70 percent oceans, there's still a lot places to visit. Bali for example.

There's still serveral legit countries TAR could go to that they haven't yet, but would be exciting and exotic nonetheless: Indonesida, Tahiti
(or any South Pacific island for that matter), Brunei, Bangladesh, Nepal, Ghana, Liechtenstein, Armenia, Mali (how awesome would a pit stop in Timbuktu be?),
Jordan (maybe...), Guatemala, etc. These are all fairly stable countries with some sort of infrastructure and travel appeal. TAR really needs to start
branching out.
P.S. Does anybody think TAR could ever possibly go to Antarctica? |

I hope they come to Melbourne, Australia! Be so good if I actually seen them.
I also want them to visit England, Peru and Bolivia. |

I remeber during all-stars Joe and Bill were spotted in the most southern place in South America. Were they were offered boat rides to Antarctica, so people
speculated they were going. Sucks they didn't though.

What are they supposed to do in Antarctica? Count penguins? Do a report on climate change?

Antarctica is a few population with a densely land mass.

I just wish the show could be a little more diverse each season, like try to go to at least 5(4 at worst) of the 6 continents. I am getting sick of all the 5
episodes in Asia, the rest in Europe

Antarctica = eat 10km. of ice to prevent the '2012' theory.
so atleast the ice were thin and not that horrible when it melts. |

Not at least Global Warming in Antarctica.

Is it that hard to plan a route of US city -> South America(x amount of legs) -> Africa(x amount of legs) -> Europe(X amount of legs) -> Asia/Australia(x amount of legs) -> you can then go to a place like Alaska/Hawaii -> final leg in North America You figure how much the show makes, they could charter a flight for the harder legs(like SA -> Africa or Africa -> Europe, etc). |

Here's an idea.
Still have two person teams, but have at least one of the team members be rich enough to have their own private jet and pilot. Believe me, there are hundreds if not thousands of them out there. Maybe they don't have a jet, but are rich enough to lease a jet and a pilot for the month or so of filming. Nothing is more cool than a scramble to the jets and a pressure filled pre-flight and take-off! |

South America should have a limit to four legs in three different countries.

have they ever been to ecuador? ecuador rawks!! the guianas would be awesome, too. enough with argentina. & since colombia is no more dangerous than
brazil, why not go there.
it's funny that the foreign versions like TARLA & TARA go to countries deemed to be dangerous, & nothing bad happened to them. except for the carjacking in TARBR tho. |

They already went to Ecuador in TAR11.
They havent been to Africa since TAR12 so it hasn't been ages, really. We'll see if they come back in TAR16. |
