1. Well, I would bring back FF on 6 legs.
2. I wouldnt make it to where Yields were always on NEL.
3. I would add a NEL on like leg 2 or 3.
4. I woud make Casting just as good in every season as it was in season 9.
6. I would make all the challenges exicitng as the ones we've seen so far.... I mean 2 legs in and there already flyinh helicopters, repelling down walls, climbing a waterfall mountain. And we have a zip line next leg. How much better can it get

Hate the new time, too, so I would change it back.
2 hrs instead of 1. I just can't get enough in one hour.

---Bunching...I don't mind the bunching at airports, train stations, bus stations etc. But I don't like the bunching where places are closed for hours giving everyone equal ground. I would like it if the place was closed that they do it like 1st person there goes in 1st, 2nd person goes in 15 minutes later or something.

but you cant adjust for bunching in the middle of the night when then the destinations are closed and that is when most of the bunching occurs

that is why I said if the place is closed then they do something like
Team to arrive 1st: 800am goes in
Team to arrive 2nd: 810 goes in
Team to arrive 3rd: 820 goes in

etc. I am aware for bunching in the middle of the night, but it would be better (in my opinion) if they did something so that teams that arrive first can still have somewhat of an advantage.

I hate episodes like there's yield however it's an NEL... why put yield if those yielded who comes last cant be eliminated??

I hate season 6 wherein they always caught up in one place..... what's the sense of driving theirselves as fast as they can if they will just end up being even with the slower teams??

I don't mind the time change. The local network here airs the episode 2 hours before the one on the CBS channel, so if I miss the first one, I can watch the CBS one. Sucks for others who don't have that though.

I wouldn't change anything really . I think bunching is the name of the game. Sometimes its there, sometimes its not. If they don't bunch, then you'd have leads like you had in TAR1, 24 hour leads or even some ridiculous amount higher in which there would be no chance in catching up for further behind teams, and how fun would it be to watch that?. Hey, if they didn't have bunching, Romber would have won, and I would have been happy. I guess that's too bad.

I think they should not put yields on Non-elimination legs, and also up the Fast Forward amounts.

i dont want the elimination of bunching completely, but I'd rather they do something like a time wait if a place is closed to give the teams ahead some sort of advantage

I agree Popo!!!!

Guys, if you get rid of bunching then it will be like the last 3 legs of TAR1... remember how bill and joe, kevin and drew, and momily were about 12 hours behind and then they had like 3 hours of operations but rob/brennan and frank/margeretta hit them all right before they closed and ended up getting like a 24+ lead. So if you take away the binching it would be boring.
