Is there an improvement so unique that you want to voice out but there is no page for it?
Well, this is the special page for it!

Pit Stop Cam - I like the idea. We see the Racers in their most relaxed moments and just plain chilling out. NON Elimination Twist - I think that for the first time ever they should make the first leg a Non Elimination leg, giving all the racers one more chance to compete. This would be a huge twist to the game, something never seen before. It would just blow our minds away, and would make the race even more interesting and fun. Think about it producers, great idea. Love the Race!!!
Make the Fast Forward more difficult to win.
For one, I love the intersection, it's very interesting. There should be more fast forwards and don't leave the final non-elimination leg for the end. I'm also glad taking away money and things is not in. With today's people, it's just better for CBS to not take the risk of having people begging for money. At the last leg, there should definitely be harder tasks and road blocks, physical and for braniacs. It's not fun watching them jump into a taxi, get a clue and head for the finish line. And you also need more decoys because it's not fun seeing these spoilers on the internet. And CBS should have a final survey with photos of all TAR contestants, and let us vote for our favorites for the next All-Star, which I hope is not this year, of course leaving out this year's contestants. Last but not least, TAR is an american production, and should have participants only that live in the US. I don't live in the US by the way.
I think that the camera crew should be judiciously of which teams is not following the rules after read.the clue(s).
Regarding the prize money, obviously it may not be an option to offer 1 million US dollars as prize money. Perhaps the prize money could be halved or only100,000 US dollars.
I agree with the above suggestion that the first leg be a non elimination leg and give them more of a chance to 'get into the game'. I think it is weighed heavily in favour of young, athletic participants, often giving viewers the obvious conclusion that certain teams will be eliminated earlier rather than later. There have only been a couple of exceptions to this. So I would like to see more road blocks & detours that are mentally challenging. I just LOVED the final roadblock in season 12. Much more interesting than seeing teams just race from clue to clue in a taxi or on foot until the finish line. More intersections please! And finally, I would like to see a series played for charity.
UPDATE THE WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do they still have old casting dates and all that info. re: application for the next season after the close date?!?!?
I'm a little bit disheartened over the cancellation of The Power of 10, but why not offer $10,000,000 to the team that finishes first for once.
Make the race 12 legs again! Season 12 was waaaaay too short!
I think that Amazing Race should have a reunion show at the end of a season, similar to that of survivor. It would be really interesting for the public to hear the racers comments on what had happened that season, and catch up on any romances or other situations that have occured since filming. - dancequeen.
Change the non-elimination legs! There were final 4 non-elimination legs on seasons 1 and 2 and not on 3. However, since season 4 of The Amazing Race, there have been non-elimination legs when there are four teams left. These non-elimination legs have saved:

Joe & Bill - Season 1
Oswald & Danny - Season 2
David & Jeff - Season 4
Colin & Christie - Season 5
Adam & Rebecca - Season 6
Ron & Kelly - Season 7
Weaver Family - Season 8
BJ & Tyler - Season 9
Dustin & Kandice - Season 10
Eric & Danielle, Oswald & Danny - Season 11
TK & Rachel - Season 12
Andrew & Dan - Season 13

If you haven't noticed yet, all of these teams except for Dustin & Kandice (Season 10) and Oswald & Danny (Season 2 and 11) have made it to the final leg of their season. It is good to give last place teams another chance before the finals, but it does not need to be done constantly. Teams like Adam & Rebecca, Ron & Kelly, and Andrew & Dan took the spots of teams that deserved to make it more such as Hayden & Aaron, Meredith & Gretchen, and Toni & Dallas. Change it around! Make a non-elimination leg on Leg 1 or 2! When I watch the episode after the 5th Place team is eliminated, I come into the next episode bored knowing it will be a non-elimination leg. Keep fans excited and vary it a little.

Amazing Race should have the show in HD in 2010.
Please advertise how and when to apply for the next amazing race during the current televised race. It is dishearting to go through all of these web sites and find no information on upcoming races. It almost seems a bit unrealistic and makes you wonder how the contestance are really chosen.
I don't know if i should put it here..anywas, I think there should be more twists. I mean, i like the fast-forward, U-Turn (Yield), Intersection and Non-Elimnation Legs but they're the only thing...
It doesn't even need to be new things but just combining two things like...
Intersection+U-Turn
Fast-Forward+U-Turn..
If there's something new tht I think would be so cool...some people might not like it but it would be cool
THt if there were Double-Elimination Legs.
It would be fairer if it happened on an interesction leg. The teams continue to be interseted even at the pit-stop. Then, you can eliminated both teams.'
It might not be as fair if it didn't happen on a normal leg.

Hopefully, This Helps

What about if instead of 2 road blocks you have 3 road blocks but each one has a hold time on it i.e. if you choose to do the easiest road block you are heald an additional 30 min after you complete it 15 min for a medium road block and 0 moin for a hard road block
Teams that disabilities like being deaf should respect and by other teams and not bump into other teams at cluebox stations. (hanlam84)
CBS, please tell us wanna be racers that you have made your calls for Season 15; post it on the CBS TAR site; we are all sitting here WAITING for that call!!!! Thanks! mlovestennis
I think there should be something sort of similar to the speed bump. Say it says "Caution! Speed Bump Ahead!" and the teams try to get to the speed bump. There are however many teams are left picture slots, and when a team gets to the speed bump, they put there small picture up. This keeps going until there are no more slots left. The team who got there last has to perform the speed bump.
the produtction people that do online full episode on CBS.com should be consider. online for season 14 but not for season 15. come guys you should know there are many sports time shows out there
During the recent episode of The Amazing Race, Zev lost his passport, as is common during most seasons. But in the unlikely event that a player or team loses his/her/their passport(s), they should create an emergency duplicate passport so as to avoid elimination or a speed bump.

In earlier episodes, more of the tasks featured puzzle solving/mind work. This helped the weaker but smarter teams. I'd like to see more of these types of tasks asa balance to the strenuous physical type that we've seen this race.

Why not have 12 teams say 2 from each of England, Australia and Canada and 6 from the USA. All speak english so thats fair and the USA teams get a bit of advantage starting and finishing in the USA.

instead of racing teams to team up.. ELIMINATED teams can be the parner's for the racing team... the producer's can let the eliminated teams participate the race again (temporarily for a leg)... instead of the eliminated teams wander around the villa, they enjoy the race for a while.. a good twist for the race...
