So it looks like everyone does the Blast/Detour. We might never know the other option, dang.

Meghan/Cheyne might do the other option; we never saw them at the blast site and they look cleaner than the others.

I would like to point out:
1.During the dynamite task I realized behind racers, there's people(probaly racers?)filling up bags with gunpowder(?), maybe the task is: Fill (number) of bags of gunpowder, and bury it, then let's it explode, once it (reaches a certain level) you will receive your net clue.

2.Where's our TAR stalker? The guy we spotted in Cambodia and Tokyo? LOL  jk

Don't know if anyones mentioned it, just stating the obvious that the Gnomes are most likely what the teams have to spot from the Tilt @ the Jet at Grona Land.

Quote
We were there celebrating my son's birthday and we noticed people running around with big back packs on their backs and I jokingly said, gosh you'd think it was the amazing race... AND LOW AND BEHOLD... out comes the clue box, a person jumps on Tilt, comes down and screams it is at the rocket jet or whatever it was called and off they go running for the next clue!

If the spotters on page 1 are accurate, the teams:
  • Spot an arrow on top of Jetline while riding the Tilt
  • The arrow points to Rock-Jet
Maybe the gnomes are inside Rock-jet, or maybe we just lose the trail there. This viewpoint--taken from Bing--shows the arrow direction (Rock-jet is the circular structure).

The clues are usually in order so I'd guess that's right Caelestor (waits patiently for a commercial or promo)

So, from what I see:

Gnome task

Detour (TNT/?)

Switchback

Pitstop

Phil: Sweden is a land of gnomes. Using a binoculars, teams will have to spot a gnome, and have keen eyes to find the Travelocity roaming gnome, among his Swede cousins. The first to help bring the gnome home (by bringing it to the pit stop) will win a prize.

By the way wouldn't the Gnome sighting prove that this leg is not a ToBeCont leg?

I think so, but perhaps since we anticipated that Holland was meant to be an NEL (Do we have any evidence to suggest it was supposed to be, btw?) Maybe they will be making this one a TBC and using the gnome as an easy way to still dish out the first place award?

I still suspect we may hear some sort of explanation from Phil -- perhaps when the last of the five teams reach the pit stop -- that let's the fifth team know they're not eliminated because the Maria/Tiffany 24 hour penalty put them so far behind they are eliminated before they could have started this leg.

I'd be willing to bet the other teams know that Maria and Tiffany are eliminated though, seeing as the ES teams do.

I doubt this is a TBC though. Teams arrive in Stockholm and finish the leg on 8/1. They depart on 8/2 (a 24-hour pit stop) to arrive at Tallinn on 8/3.

There's a roundabout with a fountain in the middle called Karlaplan (which a team might hit traveling south from the airport to Grona Lunds), but I can't quite match the building with the Dutch gables.
