The thing I don't like about this show is that very often, all time advantage gained from one leg to another is wiped out because the new leg requires a flight to the next destination, and there is only one flight available. So everyone winds up in a bunch waiting for the flight to board, and the playing field evens out immediately (unfairly, I think).

Penalties in Nonelimination Rounds Need Changing
The "turn over all your money" and now the added "turn over your backpacks" penalties for teams coming in last at nonelimination rounds have been completely ineffective. In fact, the lack of backpacks may help the team, as they don't need to haul all that stuff around!
I'm thinking of suggesting to Phil that an alternative might be to instead penalize the team upon arrival on the next pit stop mat by 1 or 2 hours.

And there are (were) still blood feuds in the northwestern part of the country.
But my guess is that the population would rise to the notion of the international exposure. The people themselves were delightful.

Algeirs, Algeria
Guangzhou or Chongqing China (either one)
They've already done some crapholes like Calcutta and Manila (no offence of course, but neither are very plesant places), but these 5 should round their craphole tour
