Mike White has said that he wants to get away from waves crashing on rocks esthetic for Season 4. So, any Four Seasons with a beach should be downgraded.

He's also rumored to hate cold, so while going to Vail or Jackson Hole after three seasons of bikinis would be a welcome (not!) change, it's less likely too.

Africa would be a new continent, which they'd like to do. Marrakech?

@MaxA I definitely tend to think it will be a new continent (I'm partial to Morocco and some South American countries personally - the aesthetics of a Riad would be so so so good).

I've seen both of those comments about cold, and about the crashing waves (though was there much of that in Thailand?) but I also think he might troll a little to keep the intrigue high. it would definitely be a challenge for him, I think, to go somewhere cold and still try to keep the sex appeal high. all of the seasons have water themes so I think even without crashing waves, it's likely to play a role.

I added some Caribbean countries after spotting this the other day

I'd take it with a grain of salt, of course.

People betting YES on Other- what countries do you have in mind? To me the existing list is pretty exhaustive for interesting touristy locations

Norway rejected, supposedly:
