Could Season 14 be with a four person team---not necessarily a family edition. I think that would be awesome!!

There should be a rule called; UPLOAD. This will be placed before a roadblock, the teams that uses the upload will be helping another team.

For example, Mary & Jane uses the upload on James & Peter, M & J must also specifically indicate which team they want J & P to ''help'' complete the roadblock. If M & J wants J & P to complete the roadblock for Nick & Sarah, they must do so. This means that either James or Peter have to do the roadblock for Nick & Sarah too, they will have to complete the roadbloack 2 times before getting their next clue. Nick & Sarah can skip the roadblock and proceed on with their next task. Mary & Jane have just uploaded more stress on James & Peter. :D

Well, thats my idea...might be a little confusing, but if you read hard enough, you will definitely understand. :D

I think the Race should have something called a "Fork in the Road". At that point EACH team member would have to complete a separate task and if either or both failed, there would be a time penalty to make them wait till they could continue.

First and foremost - Me, my wife and my step son (52, 46 and 12 yrs old respectively) love this show and look forward to being entertained by it every year. It is, by far, the best reality show on the planet!

Pros and Improvements:
1 - It is a race that all ages can participate in.
2 - I think the prizes for the team arriving first at the final destination is a great idea. That way, if you do get eliminated in the coming weeks, at least you won something. Great idea TAR Producers.
3 - The show is a travelers Godsend! We not only watch the show for the game itself, but it gives us ideas for our next potential trip. I am sure other viewers are thinking the same thing. Keeping this in mind, I suggest promoting MORE local traveling (USA) along with international.
4 - New contestants rule! We love the new personalities that evolve from having new contestants. It’s the only way to go.
5 - You need more head games! TAR needs to create situations where the teams are forced to take sides. It makes the race so much more exciting.
Ex: Road blocks are great, but you need to have them more often….and with a twist. Try rewarding teams who use the road blocks (it encourages a little chaos between the teams). Also, give the people being blocked the option of reducing there time by doing some goofy chore or something funny….like, picking apples while using stilts or a good ole carnival dunking contest..
6- Have the contestants participate in Woodsmen’s Fest (be easy on them, but make it interesting). You know, throwing the axe in the stump or sawing wood or downing a tree on a can.

Cons:
1 - Please - No more All-Star races! They are SO boring and it is unfair to give a team who has won the million dollar prize a chance to win it again!
2 - Stop taking us through impoverish countries. I mean, Africa must have areas with breathtaking scenery and interesting history, myths and legends. That’s what viewers want to see.

I really enjoy the show and liked all three pairs in the end. But so many pairs now are just pretty people, usually who argue too much. I miss the hippies, and the clowns. I felt this season was boring compared to other seasons. I'd like to see more real people,
I also liked the sppedbump this season. A breakaway from away taking all the money.
